SK210A

Single Diodes Overview

The SK210A is a surface mount Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor. It features a single element silicon construction housed in the DO-214AC (SMA) plastic package. The device is rated for a maximum average forward rectified current of 2A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50A, a maximum DC reverse voltage of 100V, and a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.85V at the rated current.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes metal-to-silicon majority carrier conduction to achieve low forward voltage drop
• Incorporates guard ring technology designed to provide over-voltage protection
• Constructed with epitaxial silicon for high temperature stability and reliability

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in surface mounted electronic circuits
• Free wheeling diode applications in power conversion systems
• Efficiency-focused designs requiring low power loss components

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix attached to the part number, as variants such as HE2 or E4 indicate compliance with different environmental directives like AEC-Q101 automotive qualification or lead-free specifications. Confirm RoHS status and moisture sensitivity level requirements against the target application standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2A current rating and 100V blocking capability are required in a compact SMA footprint. Consider the low forward voltage characteristic for efficiency optimization in low voltage DC-DC converters. Ensure the operating junction temperature range aligns with the system's thermal management capabilities.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the SK2xxA series of surface mount Schottky barrier rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series covers various voltage ratings from 20V to 150V while maintaining a consistent 2A average forward current rating across the lineup, allowing for standardized design approaches within power supply architectures.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts must match the 2A current, 100V reverse voltage, and DO-214AC package dimensions. Verify that alternative Schottky rectifiers maintain comparable forward voltage drops and surge current ratings to ensure circuit performance parity.
