Product details
Overview
SS520FSH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 5A, 200V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in SOD-128 package, optimized for high-efficiency DC/DC conversion with low forward voltage (0.84 V at 5 A, 25°C), low reverse leakage (10 µA at 25°C), and 100 pF junction capacitance. It serves as a primary output rectifier in automotive-grade SMPS and on-board converters.
For engineers reviewing the SS520FSH datasheet, SS520FSH pinout, SS520FSH application, or SS520FSH equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, thermal resistance (RθJL = 13°C/W), surge rating (IFSM = 110 A), and voltage-class-specific VF/IR trade-off versus lower-voltage SS5xFSH variants.
Technical Context
The SS520FSH implements a single-die Schottky junction optimized for 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) with minimal forward conduction loss at elevated temperatures. Its 0.70 V forward voltage at 5 A and 125°C enables stable operation in thermally constrained automotive and industrial power stages.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 13°C/W and RθJA = 63°C/W on a 5 mm × 5 mm Cu pad, supporting continuous 5 A operation up to 125°C ambient when properly heatsinked. Junction capacitance of 100 pF at 1 MHz / 4 V enables fast switching with low EMI in high-frequency converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum blocking voltage without avalanche breakdown; defines use in 48 V–60 V input systems with safety margin. |
| IF | 5 A continuous - Rated average forward current; supports 60 W+ output in compact SOD-128 footprint. |
| VF @ 5 A, 25°C | 0.84 V max - Low conduction loss reduces heat generation and improves efficiency vs. silicon diodes. |
| IR @ 200 V, 25°C | 10 µA max - Ultra-low leakage preserves standby power in always-on circuits. |
| CJ @ 1 MHz, 4 V | 100 pF - Enables <100 ns reverse recovery; suitable for >500 kHz switching topologies. |
| IFSM (8.3 ms) | 110 A - Withstands inrush and transient surges in DC/DC startup and load-dump events. |
| TJ max | +150°C - Supports operation in under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
SS520FSH uses the SOD-128 surface-mount package: molded epoxy case rated UL 94V-0, matte tin-plated leads, cathode indicated by band, weight ≈ 0.028 g. Mounting requires 5 mm × 5 mm copper pad per thermal spec.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in synchronous buck); polarity critical for rectification. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point | Connected to output rail; marked by visible band; carries full load current and must route to low-impedance ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive power electronics including engine control units and ADAS power supplies. |
| Low VF at high TJ | 0.70 V @ 5 A, 125°C - Maintains efficiency during thermal stress, reducing need for oversized heatsinks. |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | No baking required before reflow - compatible with standard SMT assembly lines without special handling. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS compliant | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive - supports green manufacturing and export compliance. |
| High IFSM / IF ratio | 22× (110 A / 5 A) - Robust against short-duration overloads common in battery-powered systems. |
Applications
| Automotive On-Board DC/DC Converter | Industrial SMPS Secondary Rectifier |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: 19 V output adapter for laptop charging with 4.7 A output requirement. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary secondary-side rectifier replacing slower FRD. Use Value: 0.84 V VF improves efficiency by ~1.2% vs. 1.1 V Si diode, reducing thermal load in enclosed housing. |
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-50WQ04FN-M3/45 | 45 V VRRM, 5 A, 0.45 V VF @ 5 A - lower voltage, lower VF, higher leakage (200 µA @ 45 V). | Not suitable for 200 V blocking; limited to ≤36 V output rails; better for ultra-low-loss 12 V systems. | Select only if system VRRM requirement is ≤45 V and lowest possible conduction loss is prioritized. |
| ON Semiconductor SB5200-E3/54 | 200 V VRRM, 5 A, 0.92 V VF @ 5 A - same voltage rating but higher VF and 120 pF CJ. | Compatible in same SOD-128 footprint and blocking capability, but less efficient at high load/temperature. | Acceptable drop-in alternative where 0.08 V higher VF is tolerable and cost is primary constraint. |
Compared with VS-50WQ04FN-M3/45 and SB5200-E3/54, SS520FSH uniquely balances 200 V blocking, 0.84 V VF, and 10 µA IR - making it optimal for automotive and industrial 24–48 V systems requiring both ruggedness and efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SS520FSH?
The SS520FSH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows sustained operation in high-ambient environments such as under-hood automotive locations or sealed industrial enclosures. Derating curves confirm 5 A continuous current is supported up to 125°C ambient when mounted on a 5 mm × 5 mm Cu pad, as specified in the thermal performance section of the SS520FSH datasheet.
Is SS520FSH suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SS520FSH is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive power systems. Its construction meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing, moisture sensitivity level 1, and operates reliably from -55°C to +150°C. The SS520FSH is deployed in on-board DC/DC converters, body control modules, and ADAS power supplies where 200 V blocking and thermal stability are required.
What is the forward voltage of SS520FSH at 5 A and 125°C?
The SS520FSH exhibits a typical forward voltage of 0.70 V and a maximum of 0.78 V at 5 A and 125°C, per electrical specifications table. This low, temperature-stable VF directly reduces conduction losses in high-temperature operating conditions, improving overall system efficiency and easing thermal design constraints compared to alternatives with higher VF drift.
Does SS520FSH have a halogen-free and RoHS-compliant construction?
Yes, SS520FSH is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21 and RoHS compliant, as confirmed in the features section of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. The molding compound, lead finish (matte tin), and internal materials meet environmental compliance requirements for global electronics manufacturing and export, including EU RoHS and China RoHS directives.
What is the junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of SS520FSH?
The SS520FSH has a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 13°C/W, measured on a standard 5 mm × 5 mm copper pad test board. This value enables effective heat transfer from the die to the PCB copper, supporting continuous 5 A operation without external heatsinking in well-designed layouts - a key advantage over higher-RθJL alternatives in space-constrained applications.
