SK13BH

Single Diodes Overview

The SK13BH is a Schottky barrier rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a single silicon element housed in a DO-214AC (SMA) plastic package with two terminals. The device is rated for a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60V and a continuous forward current of 1A. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum DC forward voltage of 0.55V at 1A and a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 25A. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes Schottky barrier technology for low forward voltage drop and high switching efficiency.
• Constructed with silicon material for reliable rectification performance.
• Designed as a free-wheeling diode suitable for power supply applications.

Single Diodes Applications

• Free-wheeling rectification in DC-DC converters
• Reverse polarity protection circuits
• General-purpose rectification in low-voltage power supplies

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BH' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact binning or marking variations. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if specified for your project. Confirm the package type matches the DO-214AC footprint during assembly planning.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a low forward voltage drop is critical for efficiency in 60V systems. The SMA package offers a compact solution for surface-mount designs. Compare thermal resistance values if high ambient temperatures are expected in the final application environment.

Single Diodes Part Context
