Product details
Overview
SS23H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2 A, 30 V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AA (SMB) package, designed for low-loss DC/DC conversion and reverse battery protection. It delivers VF = 0.50 V at IF = 2 A and TJ = 25°C, supports 50 A surge current, and operates up to TJ = 150°C with AEC-Q101 qualification.
For engineers reviewing the SS23H datasheet, SS23H pinout, SS23H application, or SS23H equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage at high temperature, reverse leakage at rated VRRM, thermal resistance (RθJL = 24°C/W), junction temperature rating, and automotive-grade reliability compliance.
Technical Context
The SS23H employs a single-die Schottky structure optimized for low forward voltage and fast switching, enabling high-efficiency operation in high-frequency power supplies. Its guard ring design enhances over-voltage robustness, while matte tin-plated leads ensure reliable solderability per J-STD-002.
Rated for repetitive peak reverse voltage of 30 V and RMS reverse voltage of 21 V, the device maintains IR ≤ 400 µA at TJ = 25°C and ≤ 10 mA at TJ = 100°C, supporting stable performance in automotive lighting and freewheeling applications across -55°C to +150°C ambient conditions.
Key Specifications

| RθJL | 24 °C/W - Enables direct thermal path to PCB copper; allows 1.2 W dissipation with ≤25°C rise from lead to junction |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Extended junction rating permits operation in under-hood automotive environments without forced cooling |
| IR @ 30 V, 25°C | ≤400 µA - Low leakage preserves battery standby life in reverse-polarity protection circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay SS23HE3/5AT | Same DO-214AA package, VF = 0.52 V @ 2 A, 25°C; IR = 500 µA @ 30 V, 25°C | Slightly higher VF and leakage; identical thermal and surge ratings | Acceptable where <0.02 V VF increase is tolerable; same footprint and assembly process |
| ON Semiconductor SB230-E3/54 | DO-214AA, VRRM = 30 V, VF = 0.51 V @ 2 A, 25°C; IR = 300 µA @ 30 V, 25°C | Lower leakage but marginally higher VF; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Preferred for cost-sensitive industrial designs; avoid in automotive safety-critical systems |
Compared with SS23H, SS23HE3/5AT offers near-identical performance with minor VF/IR trade-offs, while SB230-E3/54 provides tighter leakage control but lacks automotive qualification - making SS23H the optimal choice when AEC-Q101 compliance and thermal stability at 150°C are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SS23H?
The SS23H has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +150°C, verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This rating allows uninterrupted operation in under-hood automotive environments where ambient temperatures exceed 85°C. The device maintains electrical integrity up to this limit, with VF and IR values specified at TJ = 100°C and 125°C in the official datasheet. SS23H must be thermally anchored to PCB copper to sustain continuous 2 A current at elevated temperatures.
Is SS23H suitable for reverse battery protection in 12 V automotive systems?
Yes, SS23H is explicitly qualified for reverse battery protection in 12 V automotive systems. Its 30 V VRRM provides 2.5× margin over nominal 12 V, and its AEC-Q101 certification covers HTGB, temperature cycling, and load dump survivability. With IR ≤ 400 µA at 25°C and VF = 0.50 V at 2 A, SS23H minimizes quiescent current draw while ensuring robust clamping during polarity reversal events.
What is the forward voltage of SS23H at elevated temperature?
At IF = 2 A and TJ = 100°C, the SS23H exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 0.40 V - lower than its 0.50 V value at 25°C due to the negative temperature coefficient of Schottky diodes. This behavior improves conduction efficiency during sustained high-temperature operation, such as in enclosed engine-control modules. The datasheet confirms this value under pulse-test conditions (PW = 0.3 ms).
Does SS23H have a guard ring structure, and what benefit does it provide?
Yes, SS23H incorporates a guard ring structure as stated in its official features list. This design enhances edge termination robustness, raising the critical rate of rise of off-state voltage (dV/dt) to 10,000 V/µs. In practice, this prevents premature avalanche breakdown during fast-switching transients - especially valuable in motor drive freewheeling paths and DC/DC converter synchronous rectification circuits where rapid voltage reversals occur.
What packaging and reel quantity is available for SS23H?
SS23H is supplied in DO-214AA (SMB) package on 3,000-piece tape-and-reel format, per the official ordering information. The reel complies with EIA-481 standards, and the device marking "SS23" is laser-etched on the cathode-end surface. Each reel includes moisture barrier bagging per MSL Level 1 (J-STD-020), eliminating bake requirements prior to SMT assembly.
