Product details
Overview
VSSAF5103HM3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS®) rectifier in SlimSMA (DO-221AC) package, rated for 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 5 A average forward current at 125 °C, and 0.59 V forward voltage at 5 A/125 °C. It serves as a high-efficiency freewheeling or polarity protection diode in DC/DC converters and automotive power systems.
For engineers reviewing the VSSAF5103HM3/H datasheet, VSSAF5103HM3/H pinout, VSSAF5103HM3/H application, or VSSAF5103HM3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, ultra-low profile (0.95 mm height), MSL Level 1 rating, 150 °C max junction temperature, and verified thermal resistance of 115 °C/W (junction-to-ambient).
Technical Context
This device implements trench MOS Schottky technology to achieve low forward voltage drop and minimal conduction losses-critical for high-frequency switching topologies. Its single-diode configuration supports unidirectional current flow with cathode band marking and matte tin-plated terminals compliant with J-STD-002 solderability standards.
The SlimSMA (DO-221AC) package enables automated placement and delivers enhanced thermal performance via optimized copper pad layout. With RθJM = 12 °C/W and RθJA = 115 °C/W (on recommended 30 mm × 30 mm pad), it sustains continuous operation up to 150 °C junction temperature under defined thermal boundary conditions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VSSAF5103-M3/H | No AEC-Q101 qualification; otherwise identical electrical specs and SlimSMA package | Suitable for commercial/industrial use only; not approved for automotive production | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and cost optimization is prioritized |
| SS510H | Higher VF (0.85 V @ 5 A), larger SMA package (1.8 mm height), no AEC-Q101 | Limited to lower-frequency (<100 kHz), non-automotive applications due to thermal and qualification gaps | Use only if footprint compatibility with legacy SMA layouts is mandatory and efficiency loss is acceptable |
Compared with VSSAF5103HM3/H, the VSSAF5103-M3/H offers identical performance without automotive qualification, while SS510H trades efficiency and profile for broader legacy footprint support-making VSSAF5103HM3/H the sole choice for AEC-Q101-compliant, space-constrained, high-frequency designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for VSSAF5103HM3/H?
The VSSAF5103HM3/H has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C, validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This rating allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings when mounted on a 30 mm × 30 mm copper pad with 2 oz. thickness. Derating curves in the datasheet define safe current limits above 125 °C ambient.
Is VSSAF5103HM3/H compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, VSSAF5103HM3/H meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. Its matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and the package passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing-ensuring robust solder joint integrity in standard lead-free assembly lines.
How does the SlimSMA (DO-221AC) package of VSSAF5103HM3/H improve thermal performance over standard SMA?
The SlimSMA (DO-221AC) package of VSSAF5103HM3/H achieves RθJM = 12 °C/W (junction-to-mount) versus ~25–30 °C/W for standard SMA, due to optimized internal thermal path and exposed cathode metal pad. This enables higher power density in thin-profile designs and reduces thermal derating requirements in space-constrained layouts.
What is the reverse leakage current of VSSAF5103HM3/H at 100 V and 125 °C?
At VR = 100 V and TJ = 125 °C, the VSSAF5103HM3/H exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 13 mA, as specified in the datasheet. This value reflects worst-case behavior under full-rated voltage and elevated temperature, and remains well below levels that would compromise efficiency in typical DC/DC or polarity protection applications.
Does VSSAF5103HM3/H have a documented AEC-Q101 qualification report?
Yes, VSSAF5103HM3/H carries full AEC-Q101 qualification, confirmed by Vishay's documentation (Document Number 98381, Revision 27-Sep-2022). The HM3 suffix explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, covering stress tests including HTGB, HTRB, TCT, and ESD-HBM ≥ 2 kV-making it suitable for automotive powertrain and body electronics applications.
