SK13

Single Diodes Overview

The SK13 is a Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions, designed for surface-mount applications in the DO-214AA (SMB) package. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 30 V and an average rectified forward current of 1 A. The device exhibits a low forward voltage drop of 550 mV at 1 A, contributing to high efficiency in power conversion circuits. Operating junction temperatures range from -55°C to 175°C, ensuring reliability under varying thermal conditions.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Schottky barrier technology enables fast switching speeds and minimal reverse recovery charge.
• Low forward voltage drop reduces conduction losses and improves overall system efficiency.
• Guard ring structure enhances ruggedness and provides long-term stability under stress.

Single Diodes Applications

• High-frequency rectification in DC-DC converters
• Free-wheeling diodes in synchronous rectification circuits
• Power supply input protection against reverse polarity

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging type, such as tape and reel quantities. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your assembly process. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with distributor codes to avoid substitution errors during procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when low forward voltage and fast switching are critical for efficiency. The SMB package suits space-constrained surface-mount designs. Verify that the 30 V reverse voltage rating exceeds the peak inverse voltage in the target circuit to prevent breakdown.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the SK series of Schottky rectifiers from SMC Diode Solutions. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling and package styles. It serves as a standard solution for replacing slower silicon rectifiers in modern high-efficiency power electronics.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 30 V, 1 A Schottky diodes in the SMB package, such as the SS13 or SR130. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substituting to ensure circuit performance remains within specifications.
