Product details
Overview
SSL34H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 40 V, 3 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package, optimized for high-efficiency switching mode power supplies and lighting applications with low forward voltage (≤0.41 V at 3 A, 25°C) and high surge capability (100 A, 8.3 ms).
For engineers reviewing the SSL34H datasheet, SSL34H pinout, SSL34H application, or SSL34H equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (40 V), junction temperature range (–55°C to +125°C), thermal resistance (RθJL = 13°C/W), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The SSL34H is a single-die Schottky rectifier designed for unidirectional DC output conversion in high-frequency SMPS topologies. Its 40 V VRRM, 3 A average forward current rating, and 100 A non-repetitive surge capability support robust operation under transient load conditions.
Thermal performance is characterized with RθJL = 13°C/W and RθJA = 53°C/W on a 16 mm × 16 mm Cu pad PCB, enabling stable thermal management in compact power adapters and LED drivers without forced airflow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating margin in 24–36 V input SMPS designs. |
| IF | 3 A - Continuous average forward current at TA = 25°C; supports sustained output delivery in 15–20 W power stages. |
| VF | ≤0.41 V @ 3 A, 25°C - Low conduction loss improves efficiency >92% in 12 V output converters. |
| IFSM | 100 A @ 8.3 ms - Withstands inrush and short-circuit surges without failure in AC/DC front-end stages. |
| TJ max | +125°C - Enables operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments like LED streetlight drivers. |
| RθJL | 13°C/W - Low junction-to-lead resistance allows direct heat transfer to PCB copper, reducing need for heatsinks. |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package with cathode-indicated band; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input current entry point | Connected to positive side of transformer secondary or switch node; handles full 3 A DC current path. |
| Cathode | Output current exit point | Connected to output filter capacitor; polarity marked by visible band; must route to lowest-impedance ground return. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive power modules requiring extended temperature cycling and humidity exposure reliability. |
| Guard ring structure | Prevents edge breakdown under voltage transients, improving long-term stability in noisy industrial converters. |
| MSL Level 1 | Zero bake requirement before reflow; compatible with standard SMT assembly lines without moisture-sensitive handling. |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709E; eliminates brominated flame retardants for safer end-of-life processing. |
Applications
| LED Lighting Driver | USB-C Power Adapter |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS34 (ON Semiconductor) | VRRM = 40 V, IF = 3 A, VF ≈ 0.52 V @ 3 A - higher forward drop than SSL34H's 0.41 V. | Same DO-214AB footprint but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; not recommended for automotive-adjacent industrial use. | Select SS34 only if AEC-Q101 is not required and cost is prioritized over thermal efficiency. |
| SB340 (Diodes Inc.) | VRRM = 40 V, IF = 3 A, VF ≈ 0.55 V @ 3 A; RθJA = 60°C/W - higher thermal resistance than SSL34H's 53°C/W. | Compatible in SMPS adapters but less suitable for thermally dense LED drivers due to reduced thermal margin. | Choose SB340 only when legacy design reuse is critical and board-level thermal relief is available. |
Compared with SS34 and SB340, the SSL34H delivers lower conduction loss and superior thermal performance while maintaining AEC-Q101 qualification - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, high-reliability 40 V rectification where efficiency and automotive-grade validation matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating for SSL34H?
The SSL34H has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 40 V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value is specific to the SSL34H variant and distinguishes it from the SSL32H (20 V) and SSL33H (30 V). Operating above 40 V risks irreversible avalanche breakdown and device failure.
Is SSL34H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SSL34H is AEC-Q101 qualified per the manufacturer's documentation, confirming its suitability for automotive power modules including infotainment supplies and body control units. The qualification covers temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock tests - all verified for the exact SSL34H part number.
What is the forward voltage of SSL34H at rated current and temperature?
The SSL34H exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 0.41 V at IF = 3 A and TJ = 25°C, measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms). This low VF directly reduces conduction losses in high-duty-cycle applications like LED drivers and compact adapters.
Does SSL34H have moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating, and what does it mean for assembly?
SSL34H is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/85% RH and requires no baking prior to reflow soldering. This simplifies SMT line integration and eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk during standard lead-free reflow profiles.
What package type does SSL34H use, and how is polarity indicated?
SSL34H uses the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package. Polarity is indicated by a visible cathode band on the molded plastic body - the banded end is the cathode terminal, and the opposite end is the anode. This marking aligns with JEDEC DO-214 standard orientation.
