Product details
Overview
SS29L from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2 A, 90 V repetitive peak reverse voltage Schottky barrier rectifier in Sub SMA package, optimized for high-efficiency switching mode power supplies and DC-DC converters with low forward voltage drop (0.85 V at 2 A, 25°C) and low reverse leakage (100 µA at 25°C, 100 V). It features guard ring overvoltage protection, JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and moisture sensitivity level 1.
For engineers reviewing the SS29L datasheet, SS29L pinout, SS29L application, or SS29L equivalent, key selection considerations include its 90 V VRRM, 50 A IFSM, 17 °C/W RθJL, 125–150 °C operating junction range, and compatibility with automated SMT placement in compact power conversion designs.
Technical Context
The SS29L implements a single-die Schottky barrier structure with guard ring termination to enhance ruggedness against transient overvoltage events. Its thermal design supports 2 A continuous forward current with junction-to-lead resistance of 17 °C/W and junction-to-ambient resistance of 75 °C/W under standard PCB mounting conditions.
Electrical behavior is characterized by a typical forward voltage of 0.85 V at 2 A and 25°C, reverse leakage of ≤100 µA at rated 90 V and 25°C, and ≤5 mA at 125°C - enabling stable operation in thermally constrained adapters and industrial DC-DC modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 90 V - maximum non-repetitive reverse blocking capability, suitable for 48 V input SMPS with safety margin |
| IF | 2 A - continuous forward current rating at TL = 75°C, defines steady-state power handling |
| IFSM | 50 A - peak surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), supports cold-start and fault-current robustness |
| VF | 0.85 V @ 2 A, 25°C - low conduction loss improves efficiency vs. silicon diodes in high-frequency converters |
| IR | ≤100 µA @ 90 V, 25°C - low leakage preserves standby power budget in energy-sensitive applications |
| TJ max | 150 °C - extended junction temperature enables operation in sealed or high-ambient environments |
| RθJL | 17 °C/W - low thermal resistance allows effective heat transfer to PCB copper, reducing thermal derating |
Pinout & Package
Package: Sub SMA - surface-mount plastic package with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 molding compound, cathode band polarity marking, and 0.019 g mass.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry terminal | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., switch node in buck converter); requires adequate copper pour for thermal management |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse voltage blocking terminal | Marked by band; connects to output rail or ground return; critical for EMI filtering layout due to fast recovery |
Key Features

| High surge current capability (50 A) | Supports repeated inrush events in AC/DC adapters without degradation |
| Automated placement compatibility | Sub SMA footprint and lead geometry conform to IPC-7351B, enabling high-yield pick-and-place |
Applications
| AC/DC Adapters | Industrial DC-DC Converters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 12–24 V output wall adapters for IoT gateways and network equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Schottky rectifier replacing conventional PN diodes to reduce conduction loss and improve no-load efficiency.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed unidirectional current path with minimal reverse recovery charge, reducing switching losses. Use Value: Low QRR and 10,000 V/µs dv/dt rating prevent false triggering in high-di/dt environments near MOSFETs. |

Use Value: 17 °C/W RθJL enables direct thermal coupling to aluminum PCB, maintaining LED lumen maintenance and lifetime. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS29HE3/5BT (Vishay) | Same VRRM (90 V), higher IF (3 A), slightly higher VF (0.89 V), DO-214AC package | DO-214AC has larger footprint and higher RθJA; less suitable for ultra-compact layouts | Prefer SS29L where Sub SMA size, 17 °C/W RθJL, and J-STD-020 Level 1 are required |
| SB290 (ON Semiconductor) | Same VRRM (90 V), identical IF (2 A), but VF = 0.92 V and IR = 200 µA @ 25°C | Higher leakage may impact light-load efficiency in battery-backed systems | SS29L offers tighter leakage spec (100 µA) and lower VF, preferred for high-efficiency adapter designs |
Compared with SS29HE3/5BT and SB290, the SS29L delivers superior thermal performance via Sub SMA packaging and best-in-class reverse leakage, making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding 2 A rectification tasks where efficiency and manufacturability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for the SS29L?
The SS29L has a VRRM of 90 V, verified per Taiwan Semiconductor's O2103 datasheet revision. This rating defines the highest reverse voltage the device can block repeatedly without breakdown under normal operating conditions. The SS29L is therefore suited for 48 V nominal input systems with appropriate safety margins and transient clamping.
Does the SS29L have a specified forward voltage (VF) at 2 A and 125°C?
No - the SS29L datasheet specifies VF = 0.85 V only at 2 A and 25°C. At elevated temperatures, VF decreases slightly due to Schottky physics, but no typ/max value is published for 125°C. Designers should use the 25°C value with thermal derating curves (Fig.1) to estimate performance at higher junction temperatures.
Is the SS29L RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes - the SS29L meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as confirmed in the "Features" section of the official Taiwan Semiconductor SS22L–SS215L datasheet (Version O2103). This ensures compliance for export to EU, China, and other regulated markets.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of the SS29L, and does it require baking before reflow?
The SS29L has MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it is not moisture-sensitive and may be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without dry-pack or baking. This eliminates pre-reflow bake steps, simplifying SMT line logistics and reducing process risk for high-mix manufacturing.
How does the SS29L's thermal resistance compare to similar Schottky rectifiers in DO-214AC packages?
The SS29L's RθJL is 17 °C/W, significantly lower than typical DO-214AC Schottky rectifiers (~25–30 °C/W), due to Sub SMA's optimized leadframe design and shorter thermal path. This enables higher sustained current in thermally limited PCB layouts without additional heatsinking.
