SL03-GS08

Single Diodes Overview

The SL03-GS08 is a small signal Schottky diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 30 V and an average rectified current (Io) of 1.1 A. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage (Vf) of 430 mV at the specified forward current. It is housed in a surface-mount DO-219AB (SMF) package, designed for efficient rectification in compact electronic circuits with low power loss characteristics.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Schottky barrier technology for fast switching and low forward voltage drop
• Surface-mount DO-219AB (SMF) package for automated assembly
• RoHS compliant construction

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in consumer electronics
• Power supply input protection
• Low voltage DC-DC converter freewheeling diodes

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status and check for recent Product Change Notifications (PCN) regarding manufacturing origin or material changes. Ensure storage conditions maintain moisture sensitivity level integrity prior to soldering.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a low forward voltage drop and high switching speed are required in a compact SMD form factor. The 30 V reverse voltage rating suits low-voltage applications, while the 1.1 A average current capability supports moderate load requirements. Compare thermal resistance and package footprint against alternative SMF diodes for PCB layout compatibility.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's small signal Schottky diode family, specifically optimized for general-purpose rectification. The SL03 variant utilizes the DO-219AB (SMF) surface-mount package, offering a balance between current handling capacity and board space efficiency compared to smaller signal diodes.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay SMF-series Schottky diodes such as the SS14 or SS34 if voltage or current ratings differ from system requirements. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance before substituting with non-Vishay equivalents.
