Product details
Overview
SS220LW from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2 A, 200 V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in SOD-123W package, featuring 0.95 V forward voltage at 2 A and 10 µA reverse leakage at rated VR, optimized for high-efficiency DC/DC converters and SMPS secondary-side rectification.
For engineers reviewing the SS220LW datasheet, SS220LW pinout, SS220LW application, or SS220LW equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage rating (200 V), thermal resistance (RθJA = 80 °C/W), surge current capability (50 A), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial power designs.
Technical Context
The SS220LW employs a single-die Schottky junction with guard ring structure to enhance over-voltage robustness and suppress avalanche-induced failure. Its low forward voltage drop and fast switching speed stem from platinum-silicide or similar low-barrier metallization, enabling reduced conduction losses in high-frequency switching topologies.
Rated for continuous operation up to 150 °C junction temperature, the device uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, with moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 - eliminating bake requirements prior to reflow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe operating limit in flyback or forward converter output stages |
| IF | 2 A - average forward current; supports continuous 24 W dissipation at 150 °C ambient with proper PCB copper area |
| VF | 0.95 V @ 2 A, 25 °C - directly reduces conduction loss by ~1.9 W vs. silicon diode in 12 V output rail |
| IR | 10 µA @ 200 V - low leakage enables stable no-load regulation and minimal standby power loss |
| IFSM | 50 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands inrush surges during cold-start of AC/DC adapters without degradation |
| TJ max | 150 °C - allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments |
| RθJA | 80 °C/W - requires ≥ 40 mm² 1-oz copper pad for thermal management in 2 A continuous use |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-2EY20-M3/5BT | Same SOD-123W package, 2 A/200 V, but VF = 0.92 V @ 2 A and IR = 15 µA @ 200 V | Slightly lower conduction loss but higher leakage; less suitable for ultra-low-standby designs | Preferred when minimizing conduction loss dominates over leakage-critical standby performance |
| ON Semiconductor SB220 | SOD-123 package (not SOD-123W), same 2 A/200 V rating, VF = 0.93 V @ 2 A, IR = 12 µA @ 200 V, RθJA = 100 °C/W | Higher thermal resistance limits continuous current to ≤1.6 A on standard PCB; not MSL 1 | Acceptable for lower-power or intermittent-duty use where thermal headroom exists |
Compared with VS-2EY20-M3/5BT and SB220, the SS220LW offers the lowest reverse leakage (10 µA) and best thermal performance (RθJA = 80 °C/W) in its class, making it optimal for high-reliability, thermally constrained, and low-standby-power applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SS220LW?
The SS220LW has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150 °C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official TSC datasheet Version D2301. This allows reliable operation in sealed industrial enclosures or high-ambient environments where passive cooling is used. Derating curves confirm 2 A continuous current is sustainable up to 125 °C ambient with adequate PCB copper area. The SS220LW must not exceed this limit to maintain long-term reliability.
Does SS220LW have a guard ring structure, and what does it do?
Yes, the SS220LW incorporates a guard ring structure explicitly cited in its features list. This design surrounds the active Schottky junction to distribute electric field stress and prevent premature edge breakdown during voltage transients. In practice, this improves ruggedness in unregulated or loosely regulated SMPS outputs where line surges or ringing may exceed nominal VRRM. The guard ring is integral to the SS220LW die layout and contributes to its specified 50 A surge rating.
What is the forward voltage of SS220LW at 2 A and 125 °C junction temperature?
The SS220LW forward voltage is specified as 0.95 V maximum at 2 A and 25 °C. While the datasheet does not provide a direct 125 °C VF value, Figure 4 (Typical Forward Characteristics) shows VF increases by ~0.05–0.07 V per 50 °C rise. Extrapolating conservatively, VF at 2 A and 125 °C is approximately 1.05–1.08 V. This increase must be accounted for in thermal design and efficiency calculations for the SS220LW in high-temperature applications.
Is SS220LW compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the SS220LW is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, and its MSL level is 1 - meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH without baking. The SOD-123W package withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C per JEDEC J-STD-020, making the SS220LW suitable for standard Pb-free manufacturing lines without special handling.
How does SS220LW differ from SS215LW in terms of electrical performance?
The SS220LW differs from SS215LW primarily in peak reverse voltage (200 V vs. 150 V) and reverse leakage (10 µA vs. 10 µA at rated VR - identical per datasheet Table). However, VF is higher: 0.95 V for SS220LW versus 0.95 V for SS215LW at 2 A/25 °C (both share same max VF spec). The SS220LW's higher VRRM provides greater voltage margin in 48 V bus systems, while both share identical package, thermal specs, and surge rating - making them drop-in replacements where voltage margin permits.
