SK16

Single Diodes Overview

The SK16 is a surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier diode manufactured by Diotec Semiconductor. It belongs to the SK12...SK115 series and features an average forward current (IFAV) of 1 A with a peak forward surge current (IFSM) rating of 30 A at 50 Hz or 33 A at 60 Hz. The device has a maximum repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) of 60 V. At a junction temperature of 25°C, the typical forward voltage (VF) is less than 0.70 V at 1 A, while the leakage current (IR) remains below 500 µA at rated voltage. The component operates within a junction and storage temperature range of -50°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes Schottky barrier technology for low forward voltage drop and fast switching characteristics.
• Designed for surface-mount applications in compact electronic circuits.
• Capable of handling high non-repetitive surge currents during transient events.

Single Diodes Applications

• General-purpose rectification in standard commercial and industrial electronics.
• Free-wheeling diodes in DC-DC converters and power supply circuits.
• Polarity protection for sensitive components in battery-powered devices.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation before procurement. Suffixes such as -Q or -AQ may indicate special grades like AEC-Q101 compliance, which alters qualification status but not necessarily electrical function. Confirm package dimensions and thermal resistance requirements match your PCB layout constraints. Ensure the selected variant meets the required reliability standards for your specific application environment.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select the SK16 when a 1 A average current and 60 V reverse voltage rating are required in a surface-mount form factor. Consider this component for designs prioritizing low forward voltage loss and high surge tolerance. Evaluate the thermal resistance values relative to your copper pad size and ambient temperature conditions. Ensure the operating junction temperature stays within the specified -50°C to +150°C range for reliable performance.

Single Diodes Part Context

The SK16 is part of the broader SK1/2/3/4/5/8/L series from Diotec Semiconductor, which covers various current and voltage ratings for Schottky rectifiers. This series is designed for general-purpose applications requiring efficient rectification in space-constrained surface-mount layouts. The component adheres to RoHS and ELV directives, supporting environmentally compliant manufacturing processes.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers for the SK16 are not available in the provided source material. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 1 A, 60 V Schottky diodes in compatible packages only after verifying pinout and electrical parameter equivalence through independent datasheet comparison.

Single Diodes FAQ
