Product details
Overview
ZLLS400Q from Diodes Incorporated is a 40V, 0.52A surface-mount Schottky barrier diode in SOD323 package, featuring 0.5V max forward voltage at 400mA, 10µA max reverse leakage at 30V, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use in DC-DC converters and charging circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ZLLS400Q datasheet, ZLLS400Q pinout, ZLLS400Q application, or ZLLS400Q equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal performance up to +150°C junction temperature, low VF for high-efficiency power conversion, ultra-low IR for elevated-temperature reliability, and automotive-grade process control with PPAP capability.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses a planar metal-semiconductor junction optimized for low forward conduction loss and minimal minority-carrier storage, enabling fast switching (trr ≤ 3ns) and negligible reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 210pC). Its SOD323 package features matte tin–annealed Alloy 42 leads and UL 94V-0 molding compound.
Rated for continuous operation at TJ = +150°C, it delivers stable performance under high ambient conditions (IR = 370µA at +85°C, VR = 30V) and supports pulsed peak currents up to 12A (t ≤ 100µs), making it suitable for transient-heavy power paths in compact automotive electronics.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZHCS400QTC | Lower VF (0.335V typ @ 100mA), but higher IR (20µA @ 30V) and not AEC-Q101 qualified | Optimized for low-temperature, low-power portable devices; unsuitable for under-hood automotive | Select when thermal budget is <+85°C and automotive qualification is not required |
| SBM4040T3G | Same VR (40V), higher IF (1A), larger SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm), RθJA = 220°C/W | Better thermal handling for sustained 0.8A loads; incompatible with space-constrained SOD323 footprints | Select when board area allows larger package and average current exceeds 0.6A |
Compared with ZHCS400QTC and SBM4040T3G, ZLLS400Q uniquely balances automotive qualification, ultra-compact size, and elevated-temperature leakage performance-making it optimal for space- and thermal-constrained AEC-Q101 designs where 0.52A continuous current suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for ZLLS400Q?
The ZLLS400Q has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This allows operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-density power modules where ambient temperatures exceed +105°C, provided PCB thermal design maintains RθJA ≤ 379°C/W on specified 25mm × 25mm FR4 layout.
Is ZLLS400Q suitable for synchronous rectification in high-frequency DC-DC converters?
Yes - with trr ≤ 3ns and Qrr = 210pC, ZLLS400Q supports synchronous rectification in buck converters operating up to 2MHz. Its low VF (0.445V typ @ 400mA) minimizes conduction loss, while fast recovery avoids cross-conduction losses during dead-time transitions in gate-driver-controlled topologies.
How does ZLLS400Q differ from ZHCS400QTC in thermal performance?
ZLLS400Q specifies IR = 370µA at +85°C and VR = 30V, whereas ZHCS400QTC exhibits higher leakage (≥1µA) under identical conditions. ZLLS400Q's thermal design targets +150°C TJ operation with tighter IR control, making it suitable for sustained high-temperature use where ZHCS400QTC's lower VF advantage diminishes due to leakage-driven inefficiency.
Does ZLLS400Q require special soldering profiles due to its SOD323 package?
No - ZLLS400Q is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020 and compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C). Its SOD323 package uses matte tin–annealed Alloy 42 leads, ensuring reliable wetting and joint integrity without pre-baking or special flux requirements on standard FR4 PCBs.
