Product details
Overview
ZHCS350 from Diodes Incorporated is a 40V, 350mA surface-mount Schottky barrier diode in SOD523 package, featuring 405mV typical forward voltage at 100mA, 7μA typical reverse leakage at 30V, and 1.6ns reverse recovery time-optimized for high-frequency rectification in compact DC–DC converters and LED driver circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ZHCS350 datasheet, ZHCS350 pinout, ZHCS350 application, or ZHCS350 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-profile height (0.9mm), thermal resistance (300°C/W on 1-inch² copper pad), RoHS- and halogen-free compliance, and verified performance under pulsed forward current up to 350mA.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode employs a planar epitaxial construction with low-barrier metal-semiconductor junction to achieve fast switching (tRR = 1.6ns) and minimal conduction loss. Its 40V reverse voltage rating and 125°C maximum junction temperature support operation in thermally constrained portable power stages.
The device is characterized with strict test conditions: VF measured at 300μs pulse width (≤2% duty cycle); IR tested at VR = 30V; CD measured at f = 1MHz, VR = 25V. Thermal metrics assume defined PCB layouts-2oz copper pad (RθJA = 300°C/W) or standard FR-4 (470°C/W).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR | 40V reverse blocking capability-supports input rails up to 36V in buck converters without breakdown risk |
| IF | 350mA continuous forward current-enables sustained conduction in low-power LED bias and auxiliary supply paths |
| VF @ 100mA | 405mV typical-reduces forward power loss to ~40.5mW, critical for efficiency in battery-powered systems |
| IR @ 30V | 7μA typical-minimizes standby leakage in always-on voltage clamp and protection circuits |
| tRR | 1.6ns-ensures minimal switching loss and EMI in >1MHz DC–DC topologies |
| CD @ 25V | 3.3–6pF-low capacitance preserves high-frequency response in RF detector and snubber applications |
| RθJA (copper pad) | 300°C/W-permits 330mW power dissipation at +25°C ambient when mounted on 1-inch² 2oz copper |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD523 - ultra-thin surface-mount package with 0.9mm max height, 0.75–0.85mm body width (E), and cathode band polarity marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in synchronous buck); requires low-inductance layout |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse voltage terminal | Marked by band; ties to output rail or ground return-critical for ESD-sensitive placement near IC inputs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-profile SOD523 package | 0.9mm max height enables use in <1.0mm board stack-ups for smartphones and wearables |
| 100% matte tin-plated leads | Ensures reliable solder wetting and intermetallic formation on OSP- or ENIG-finished PCBs |
| Lead-free & RoHS 3 compliant | Meets EU Directive 2015/863/EU with <900ppm Br, <900ppm Cl, <1000ppm Sb-required for CE-marked consumer devices |
| Junction temperature limit | 125°C maximum-allows operation in sealed enclosures with limited airflow, e.g., USB-C PD adapters |
Applications
| DC–DC Converters | Mobile Telecomm |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Output rectification in 1–3MHz buck converters powering baseband processors in LTE handsets. IC Role / Device Role: Freewheeling diode replacing synchronous MOSFET in cost-sensitive designs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RB520S-30T2R | 30V VR, 200mA IF, VF = 370mV @ 100mA, SOD-523 package | Lower voltage rating limits use to ≤24V systems; reduced current handling | Select when 30V rating suffices and lower VF tolerance is acceptable |
| NSR0330P2T5G | 30V VR, 300mA IF, VF = 450mV @ 100mA, SOD-523 package | Higher VF increases conduction loss; same footprint but higher thermal resistance | Prefer where tighter IR control (<5μA) is prioritized over VF |
Compared with RB520S-30T2R and NSR0330P2T5G, ZHCS350 delivers higher reverse voltage margin (40V), superior current rating (350mA), and lowest VF (405mV) in SOD523-making it optimal for 5–36V portable power rails demanding efficiency and reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for ZHCS350?
The ZHCS350 has a continuous forward current (IF) rating of 350mA at TA = +25°C. Its average peak forward current (IFAV) is 510mA under 50% duty cycle conditions. Derating is required above +25°C ambient per the RθJA = 300°C/W thermal resistance on a 1-inch² copper pad.
Does ZHCS350 meet automotive qualification standards?
No-ZHCS350 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. However, an automotive-compliant variant, ZHCS350Q, is available under a separate datasheet (DS33215) and meets AEC-Q200 Grade 2 (−40°C to +105°C) requirements with enhanced process controls and extended testing.
How is polarity identified on the SOD523 package of ZHCS350?
Polarity is marked by a visible cathode band on the top surface of the SOD523 package. Per Diodes' marking specification, the band aligns with the cathode terminal; the unmarked end is the anode. This matches standard SOD523 orientation used by JEDEC and IPC-7351B land pattern guidelines.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for ZHCS350?
Diodes specifies a suggested SOD523 pad layout: G = 0.80mm (gap), X = 0.60mm (pad width), X1 = 2.00mm (pad length), Y = 0.70mm (pad-to-pad spacing). Use this geometry to ensure coplanarity, solder joint strength, and thermal relief-especially critical given the device's 0.9mm profile and 330mW power dissipation capability.
