Product details
Overview
ZHCS350QTA from Diodes Incorporated is a 40V, 350mA surface-mount Schottky barrier diode in SOD523 package, featuring 405mV typical forward voltage at 100mA and 7μA typical reverse leakage at 30V. It serves as a low-loss rectifier in space-constrained DC-DC converters, USB-powered chargers, and LED driver circuits where thermal efficiency and profile height <0.9mm are critical.
For engineers reviewing the ZHCS350QTA datasheet, ZHCS350QTA pinout, ZHCS350QTA application, or ZHCS350QTA equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 1.6ns reverse recovery time, junction capacitance of 3.3–6pF at 25V, and compatibility with high-frequency switching topologies up to several MHz.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode employs a platinum-silicide or similar low-barrier metal-semiconductor junction to achieve minimal forward conduction loss and ultrafast switching without minority-carrier storage delay. Its 40V reverse rating targets 24V and 36V input rail applications with margin for transient spikes.
The SOD523 package enables integration into compact power stages where board area and height are constrained-especially in mobile telecom modules and wearable LED drivers. Thermal resistance of 450°C/W (Note 5) reflects performance on minimal copper pad layouts, while 125°C maximum junction temperature supports operation in sealed enclosures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (Reverse Voltage) | 40 V - Withstands continuous 40V reverse bias; suitable for 24V system inputs with 66% derating margin. |
| IF (Continuous Forward Current) | 350 mA - Maximum steady-state current without thermal runaway on standard FR-4 PCB. |
| VF @ 100mA | 405 mV typ. - Enables <120mW conduction loss per diode in 100mA load paths. |
| tRR (Reverse Recovery Time) | 1.6 ns - Eliminates switching tail current in >1MHz buck/boost converters. |
| CD @ 25V | 3.3–6 pF - Minimizes capacitive loading on gate-drive or feedback nodes in high-speed circuits. |
| IR @ 30V | 7 μA typ. - Limits standby power loss in always-on charger detection or battery backup paths. |
| RθJA (Note 5) | 450 °C/W - Requires ≤230mW dissipation on 1×1 inch 2oz copper pad to stay within 125°C TJ limit. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD523 - ultra-low-profile surface-mount package (0.9mm height, 0.80mm pad width), cathode indicated by band on top surface. Molded green compound, matte tin-plated leads, IATF 16949 certified manufacturing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Applications
| DC-DC Converters | USB-C Charger Circuits |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Synchronous rectification in 1–3MHz buck converters powering PMICs or SoCs in tablets.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RB520S-30T2R | 30V VR, 200mA IF, VF = 370mV @ 100mA, SOD-523 package | Limited to ≤30V systems; lower current rating reduces margin in 24V industrial converters | Select when VR margin is relaxed and board layout prioritizes identical footprint over voltage headroom. |
| NSR0330P2T5G | 30V VR, 300mA IF, VF = 410mV @ 100mA, SOD-523 package, AEC-Q101 qualified | Same qualification level but 10V lower VR; slightly higher VF increases conduction loss by ~1.2mW at 100mA | Prefer for cost-sensitive automotive modules where 30V rail compliance is sufficient and supply chain favors ON Semi. |
Compared with RB520S-30T2R and NSR0330P2T5G, ZHCS350QTA provides the highest VR rating (40V) and lowest VF (405mV typ.) in SOD523 among AEC-Q101-qualified Schottkys-making it optimal for 24V+ systems demanding both robustness and efficiency.

FAQ
Is ZHCS350QTA suitable for automotive applications?
Yes. ZHCS350QTA is AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP capable, and manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities. It meets automotive requirements for temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock-validated for use in body control modules, LED lighting, and infotainment power supplies.
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature for continuous operation?
At 350mA DC forward current, ambient temperature must not exceed 85°C when mounted on a 1×1 inch 2oz copper pad (per Note 5). Derating curves in Figure 4 show usable current drops to ~250mA at 100°C TA and ~150mA at 125°C TA.
Does ZHCS350QTA have a specified junction-to-case thermal resistance?
No. The datasheet specifies only junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA = 450°C/W for Note 5 layout). Junction-to-case (RθJC) is not published, as the SOD523 package lacks a defined thermal pad or case surface for measurement per JESD51 standards.
Can ZHCS350QTA replace a standard silicon diode in a 12V buck converter?
Yes-provided the peak reverse voltage remains below 40V and average current stays ≤350mA. Its 405mV VF at 100mA reduces conduction loss by ~65% versus a 1N4148 (VF ≈ 1.2V), improving efficiency and reducing thermal stress on adjacent components.
