16CTQ100

Overview

The SB2100 is a Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions, designed for general-purpose rectification in low to medium power applications. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and an average forward rectified current of 2 A. The device utilizes a DO-15 axial through-hole package, ensuring robust mechanical mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 850 mV at 2 A and a reverse leakage current of 500 µA at 100 V. The junction temperature range spans from -55°C to 150°C, providing reliable operation across various environmental conditions.

Feature Summary

• Schottky technology provides fast switching speeds with minimal recovery charge.
• Low forward voltage drop enhances overall circuit efficiency.
• High surge current capability protects against transient overloads.

Applications

• Free-wheeling diodes in inductive load circuits
• Power supply output rectification
• Polarity protection circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes on the component marking to ensure the correct package variant and manufacturing date code match your design requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are prohibited in your assembly process. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor databases to validate authenticity and traceability before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, high-reliability Schottky rectifier is required for currents up to 2 A. Ensure the operating voltage does not exceed the 100 V reverse rating. Consider the DO-15 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the expected forward current and ambient temperature conditions to maintain junction temperatures within safe limits.

Part Context
