Product details
Overview
SS56FSH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 5A, 60V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in SOD-128 package, qualified to AEC-Q101, with forward voltage of 0.59 V at 5.0A/25°C and reverse current ≤200 µA at 25°C. It delivers high surge capability (110 A IFSM), low thermal resistance (RθJL = 13 °C/W), and is used in automotive-grade DC/DC converters and SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the SS56FSH datasheet, SS56FSH pinout, SS56FSH application, or SS56FSH equivalent, key selection factors include its 60V VRRM, 125°C-rated forward voltage drop, moisture sensitivity level 1 compliance, JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and SOD-128 mechanical footprint compatibility with automated placement.
Technical Context
The SS56FSH is a single-die Schottky rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications where low conduction loss and fast recovery are critical. Its 60V peak reverse voltage rating and 5A average forward current support mid-voltage power conversion stages in compact layouts.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 13 °C/W and RθJA = 63 °C/W on a 5 mm × 5 mm Cu pad PCB, enabling reliable operation up to 150°C junction temperature. Reverse leakage remains ≤200 µA at 25°C and ≤40 mA at 125°C under rated VR.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in 48V system rails and buck-derived outputs. |
| IF | 5 A - Continuous average forward current; supports sustained load delivery in 30–60W adapter and DC/DC designs. |
| VF @ 5A, 25°C | 0.59 V (max 0.70 V) - Low conduction loss reduces heat generation and improves efficiency over silicon diodes. |
| IFSM | 110 A - Surge current handling for 8.3 ms half-sine; withstands inrush and transient overload without failure. |
| RθJL | 13 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables direct heat transfer to PCB copper, simplifying thermal design. |
| CJ | 245 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - Low junction capacitance minimizes switching losses and EMI in >100 kHz converters. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Extended junction temperature rating supports under-hood and enclosed industrial environments. |

Applications
| Automotive On-Board DC/DC Converter | Industrial Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Step-down conversion from 12V/24V battery to 3.3V/5V logic rails in body control modules and telematics units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier in synchronous or asynchronous buck topology, conducting during low-side switch off-time. Use Value: 0.59 V forward drop at 5A reduces conduction loss by ~35% vs. comparable silicon diodes, lowering heatsink requirements. | Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in open-frame 30–60W AC/DC adapters for factory automation controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path delivering regulated DC output; handles high-frequency switching transitions with minimal reverse recovery. Use Value: 245 pF junction capacitance limits displacement current and EMI generation at 200–500 kHz switching frequencies. |
| LED Driver Power Stage | Telecom DC/DC Module |
Use Scenario: Constant-current LED string supply in commercial lighting fixtures with wide-input 9–36V DC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode in boost or buck-boost LED driver IC reference designs. Use Value: 110A surge rating accommodates cold-start inrush without degradation, extending lifetime in cyclic thermal environments. | Use Scenario: Intermediate bus converter (e.g., 48V-to-12V) in telecom shelf power systems requiring high reliability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary output rectifier in isolated forward or active-clamp forward topologies. Use Value: RθJL = 13 °C/W enables direct thermal coupling to chassis-mounted copper, supporting derating to 4.2A at 105°C ambient. |
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-50SQ060 | Same 60V VRRM, 5A IF, but TO-277 package (larger footprint, higher RθJA = 75 °C/W) | Not suitable for space-constrained SOD-128 layouts; requires board area redesign | Select when higher surge margin (150A IFSM) and legacy TO-277 compatibility outweigh size constraints. |
| ON Semiconductor SB560 | 60V/5A Schottky in DO-201AD; VF = 0.72V (max) at 5A - 22% higher conduction loss than SS56FSH | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and MSL-1 rating; not approved for automotive use | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial adapters where automotive qualification and thermal performance are non-critical. |
Compared with VS-50SQ060 and SB560, the SS56FSH provides optimal balance of automotive qualification, SOD-128 miniaturization, 0.59V low-VF performance, and MSL-1 process compatibility - making it preferred for next-gen compact, high-reliability power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SS56FSH?
The SS56FSH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows operation in under-hood automotive environments and enclosed industrial power supplies where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C. Derating curves in the SS56FSH datasheet confirm usable current down to 3.2A at 125°C ambient on standard PCB mounting.
Is SS56FSH RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, SS56FSH is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The device uses matte tin-plated leads and UL 94V-0 molding compound, with no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives. Certificate of Compliance is available upon request from Taiwan Semiconductor and Aetrix Electronics.
Does SS56FSH have a specified moisture sensitivity level (MSL)?
Yes, SS56FSH is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 - meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH and requires no baking prior to reflow soldering. This eliminates pre-conditioning steps in high-volume SMT lines and reduces manufacturing risk versus MSL-3 or MSL-5 devices.
What is the forward voltage of SS56FSH at elevated temperature?
At 5.0A and 125°C junction temperature, SS56FSH exhibits a typical forward voltage of 0.54 V with a maximum of 0.63 V. This lower VF at high temperature - compared to room-temperature values - reflects the negative temperature coefficient of Schottky diodes and improves thermal stability in high-power density designs.
Can SS56FSH replace SS54FSH or SS510FSH in an existing design?
SS56FSH is not a direct replacement for SS54FSH (40V) or SS510FSH (100V) due to differing VRRM ratings. Substitution requires verification of reverse voltage margin in the target circuit. For example, using SS56FSH in a 40V-design risks overstress; in a 100V-design, it fails to meet blocking requirements. Always validate against worst-case transient conditions before interchange.
