Product details
Overview
SS26LWH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2 A, 60 V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in SOD-123W package, featuring low forward voltage (0.70 V at 2 A, 25°C), high surge current capability (50 A), AEC-Q101 qualification, and guard ring for over-voltage protection-used in automotive DC/DC converters and reverse battery protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SS26LWH datasheet, SS26LWH pinout, SS26LWH application, or SS26LWH equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (60 V), junction-to-lead thermal resistance (25 °C/W), moisture sensitivity level (J-STD-020 Level 1), RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and cathode-band polarity marking for reliable automated assembly and thermal management.
Technical Context
The SS26LWH operates as a single-die Schottky rectifier with metal–semiconductor junction enabling fast switching and low conduction loss. Its 60 V VRRM and 50 A IFSM support transient-heavy automotive power rails, while the SOD-123W package provides enhanced thermal dissipation versus standard SOD-123.
AEC-Q101 qualification confirms suitability for under-hood automotive environments; the guard ring structure improves ruggedness against voltage transients, and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture rating eliminates bake requirements prior to reflow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in 12 V/24 V automotive systems. |
| VF @ 2 A | 0.70 V max at 25°C - Low conduction loss enables high-efficiency DC/DC conversion and reduced thermal load. |
| IFSM | 50 A - Withstands short-duration surges (8.3 ms half-sine), critical for load dump and cranking events. |
| TJ max | 150°C - Enables operation in high-ambient under-hood locations without derating below full current. |
| RθJL | 25 °C/W - Efficient heat transfer to PCB pad improves reliability in compact layouts with limited airflow. |
| MSL | Level 1 per J-STD-020 - No floor life limitation or pre-bake required before SMT reflow. |

Applications
| Automotive DC/DC Converters | Reverse Battery Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Step-down conversion in 12 V/48 V hybrid architectures with high switching frequency (>300 kHz). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier handling continuous 2 A load with minimal voltage drop and thermal rise.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp diode across MOSFETs to manage inductive kickback during commutation. Use Value: 50 A IFSM withstands motor startup surges; SOD-123W footprint allows dense layout near gate drivers. |
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-2EY60-M3/5BT | Same SOD-123W package, 2 A/60 V rating, but VF = 0.72 V max (slightly higher conduction loss). | Identical AEC-Q101 qualification and automotive use cases; slightly higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 90 °C/W vs. 80 °C/W). | Acceptable where marginal VF increase is tolerable; verify layout thermal margin due to higher RθJA. |
| ON Semiconductor SB260T3G | SOD-123 package (not SOD-123W), same 2 A/60 V rating, VF = 0.75 V max, no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Limited to non-automotive industrial or consumer DC/DC; lacks guard ring and automotive reliability validation. | Only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs; requires re-evaluation of surge robustness and thermal layout. |
Compared with VS-2EY60-M3/5BT and SB260T3G, the SS26LWH delivers lower forward voltage, superior thermal resistance, and full AEC-Q101 validation-making it the preferred choice for automotive-grade 2 A rectification where reliability and efficiency are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for SS26LWH?
The SS26LWH has a VRRM of 60 V, confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of Taiwan Semiconductor's SS24LWH–SS220LWH datasheet Version B2301. This rating defines the highest reverse voltage the device can block continuously without breakdown and is validated across the full operating temperature range (−55°C to +150°C). The SS26LWH is part of a family where "26" denotes the 60 V grade, distinct from SS24LWH (40 V) and SS210LWH (100 V).
Is SS26LWH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SS26LWH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as stated in the FEATURES section of the official datasheet. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, unbiased highly accelerated stress testing (uHAST), and mechanical shock-ensuring reliability in automotive under-hood and cabin environments. Its SOD-123W package, guard ring, and MSL Level 1 rating further support automotive manufacturing and field use.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of SS26LWH at rated current?
The SS26LWH exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 0.70 V at 2 A and 25°C, per the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) to minimize self-heating. At elevated junction temperatures (e.g., 125°C), VF decreases slightly due to the negative temperature coefficient of Schottky diodes, supporting stable performance in thermally demanding applications like automotive DC/DC converters.
Does SS26LWH have a cathode marking, and how is polarity identified?
Yes, the SS26LWH uses a cathode band to indicate polarity, as specified in the MECHANICAL DATA section. The band is located on the package body adjacent to the cathode terminal, consistent with JEDEC DO-219 standards. This marking is essential for correct orientation during automated placement and manual inspection-reversal would cause catastrophic failure in reverse-battery protection or freewheeling configurations. The SOD-123W outline drawing confirms band position relative to lead geometry.
What is the surge current rating (IFSM) of SS26LWH, and under what conditions?
The SS26LWH is rated for a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 50 A, defined for an 8.3 ms single half-sine wave superimposed on rated DC load, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating reflects capability to survive automotive load-dump transients and motor-start surges. Derating applies above 25°C ambient; the Forward Current Derating Curve (Fig.1) shows usable IF drops to ~1.4 A at 125°C ambient with adequate PCB copper area.
