Product details
Overview
SSB43LHE3/5BT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a high-current-density surface-mount Schottky rectifier in SMB (DO-214AA) package, rated for 30 V reverse voltage, 4.0 A average forward current, and 100 A non-repetitive surge current. It delivers 0.38 V typical forward voltage at 4.0 A and 125 °C junction temperature, enabling high-efficiency DC/DC converters and freewheeling circuits in space-constrained power designs.
For engineers reviewing the SSB43LHE3/5BT datasheet, SSB43LHE3/5BT pinout, SSB43LHE3/5BT application, or SSB43LHE3/5BT equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification status, low thermal resistance (RθJL = 23 °C/W), MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and matte tin-plated solderable terminals compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
Technical Context
The SSB43LHE3/5BT implements a single-die Schottky barrier structure with integrated guardring for overvoltage protection and stable reverse leakage performance up to 150 °C junction temperature. Its low forward voltage drop and high dV/dt rating (10,000 V/μs) support fast-switching topologies in automotive and industrial power supplies.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on aluminum substrates, it achieves RθJA = 70 °C/W and RθJL = 23 °C/W under defined test conditions. The device meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements for the molding compound.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay SSB43L-E3/5BT | Commercial grade, non-AEC-Q101 qualified; identical electrical specs and SMB package | Not suitable for automotive production; acceptable for industrial prototypes and consumer power supplies | Select when AEC-Q101 compliance is not required and cost optimization is prioritized |
| ON Semiconductor SB430-TB | Same 30 V/4.0 A rating but higher VF (0.45 V typ. @ 4 A, 25 °C); SMB package, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lower efficiency in thermally constrained layouts; limited to commercial-temperature applications | Choose only if SSB43LHE3/5BT is unavailable and thermal budget allows +0.07 V VF penalty |
Compared with SSB43L-E3/5BT, the SSB43LHE3/5BT adds AEC-Q101 qualification and extended reliability testing without sacrificing electrical performance; versus SB430-TB, it delivers lower forward voltage and validated automotive robustness-critical for under-hood and safety-critical power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the SSB43LHE3/5BT?
The SSB43LHE3/5BT has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C, verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This rating enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings. Derating curves in the datasheet define safe operating current limits above 25 °C ambient, and thermal design must account for RθJL = 23 °C/W when mounted on aluminum substrates. The SSB43LHE3/5BT maintains stable VF and leakage performance across this full range.
Is the SSB43LHE3/5BT pin-compatible with other SMB-packaged Schottky rectifiers?
Yes, the SSB43LHE3/5BT uses the standard SMB (DO-214AA) footprint with anode and cathode terminals in identical physical locations to industry-standard SMB rectifiers. Its cathode band orientation and pad layout match IPC-7351 recommendations. However, electrical compatibility depends on VRRM, IF(AV), and thermal characteristics-always verify surge rating and forward voltage behavior under actual operating conditions before substitution. The SSB43LHE3/5BT shares mechanical compatibility with SSB43L-E3/5BT and SB430-TB.
Does the SSB43LHE3/5BT require special handling during reflow soldering?
No special handling is required: the SSB43LHE3/5BT is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions and placed directly into standard lead-free reflow profiles peaking at 260 °C. Its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 for solderability, and the package withstands thermal shock without delamination. No dry-packaging, baking, or humidity-controlled storage is needed-unlike MSL Level 3+ components. This simplifies manufacturing for high-volume SMT lines.
How does the guardring feature improve system reliability in the SSB43LHE3/5BT?
The integrated guardring in the SSB43LHE3/5BT enhances edge termination robustness, suppressing premature avalanche breakdown during voltage transients such as automotive load dump (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a). It reduces localized electric field concentration at the die periphery, allowing the device to sustain rated VRRM under dynamic overvoltage stress without degradation. This eliminates need for external TVS clamping in many 12 V/24 V systems, reducing BOM count and board space-key for compact ECU and ADAS power modules using the SSB43LHE3/5BT.
What is the significance of the "HE3" suffix in SSB43LHE3/5BT?
"HE3" denotes Vishay's AEC-Q101-qualified, RoHS-compliant version of the SSB43L base part. The "H" indicates AEC-Q101 qualification, "E3" confirms RoHS compliance and commercial-grade temperature range (−65 °C to +150 °C), and the "/5BT" specifies 13-inch tape-and-reel packaging with 3200 units per reel. This suffix differentiates it from non-automotive variants like SSB43L-E3/5BT and ensures traceability to qualified lots meeting automotive stress test requirements-including HTGB, H3TRB, and temperature cycling.
