Product details
Overview
SSL34 M6G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 40 V, 3 A Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package, optimized for high-efficiency switching mode power supplies and lighting converters with low forward voltage (0.41 V max at 3 A) and 100 A surge capability.
For engineers reviewing the SSL34 M6G datasheet, SSL34 M6G pinout, SSL34 M6G application, or SSL34 M6G 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), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).
Technical Context
This single-die Schottky rectifier operates with low conduction loss due to its 0.41 V maximum forward voltage at 3 A and 25°C, enabling high-efficiency DC/DC conversion. Its guard ring structure provides overvoltage protection, and the device supports high-reliability automated assembly per J-STD-002 solderability standards.
Thermal performance is characterized with RθJA = 53°C/W on a 16 mm × 16 mm Cu pad PCB, and RθJC = 15°C/W enables effective heat transfer to external heatsinking. Reverse leakage remains ≤500 μA at 25°C and ≤100 mA at 100°C under rated 40 V reverse bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage the device blocks without breakdown |
| IF | 3 A - Continuous average forward current rating at 25°C ambient |
| IFSM | 100 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine) for transient overload handling |
| VF (max) | 0.41 V - Forward voltage drop at 3 A, directly determining conduction loss and thermal load |
| RθJL | 13 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance, critical for lead-mounted thermal design |
| TJ range | –55°C to +125°C - Operating junction temperature window defining reliability envelope |
| MSL | Level 1 - No floor life limitation; safe for reflow without dry-pack or baking |
Pinout & Package

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-3EWH04-M3/45 | Same DO-214AB package, 40 V VRRM, but 0.45 V VF max at 3 A; RθJA = 60°C/W | Slightly higher conduction loss and worse thermal performance on identical PCB layout | Acceptable where margin exists in thermal budget; verify layout derating at 100°C ambient |
| ON Semiconductor SB340-TB | DO-214AA (SMB) package, 40 V VRRM, 0.52 V VF max; lower IFSM (80 A) | Smaller footprint but higher VF and lower surge rating; not MSL Level 1 | Only suitable if board space is constrained and surge immunity is secondary to size |
Compared with VS-3EWH04-M3/45 and SB340-TB, SSL34 M6G delivers the lowest forward voltage and best thermal resistance in its class, making it preferred for thermally constrained, high-efficiency 3 A rectification where MSL Level 1 handling is required.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating for SSL34 M6G?
The SSL34 M6G has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 40 V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value defines the highest reverse-bias voltage the device can block continuously without risk of avalanche breakdown under normal operating conditions.
Does SSL34 M6G have a specified forward voltage at 3 A and 100°C junction temperature?
No - the datasheet specifies VF only at TJ = 25°C (≤0.41 V at IF = 3 A). At elevated temperatures, VF decreases slightly, but no guaranteed maximum is provided beyond 25°C; design margins should rely on the 25°C spec and thermal modeling.
Is SSL34 M6G compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes - SSL34 M6G features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and is rated for MSL Level 1, meaning it withstands standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C) without preconditioning or dry-pack requirements.
What is the marking code printed on the SSL34 M6G device body?
The SSL34 M6G is marked with "SL34" on the device body, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This 3-character code distinguishes it from SSL32 (SL32) and SSL33 (SL33) variants within the same family.
How does the guard ring feature in SSL34 M6G improve reliability?
The guard ring in SSL34 M6G enhances edge termination robustness, suppressing premature avalanche at the silicon periphery under transient overvoltage stress. This allows the device to sustain rated VRRM without derating and improves long-term reliability in noisy power environments.
