SL03-M-18

Single Diodes Overview

The SL03-M-18 is a single Schottky rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 30 V and an average forward rectified current (Io) of 1.1 A. The device utilizes the DO-219AB surface-mount package, also designated as SMF. Key electrical characteristics include a typical forward voltage (Vf) of 430 mV at 1.1 A and a reverse leakage current of 130 µA at 30 V. The component is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for automotive applications and operates within a junction temperature range of up to 125°C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M-18' corresponds to the standard tape-and-reel packaging configuration required for your manufacturing line. Confirm that the 30 V reverse voltage rating aligns with your circuit's peak inverse voltage requirements. Ensure compatibility with the DO-219AB footprint on your PCB layout. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding assembly sites or material composition updates.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile Schottky diode with 1.1 A continuous current capability is needed in a compact SMD form factor. The 30 V rating suits low-voltage applications where standard silicon rectifiers would incur higher conduction losses. Consider the AEC-Q101 qualification if the design targets automotive markets requiring specific reliability standards. Compare thermal performance against alternative packages if high-power density is critical.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's eSMP series of small-signal Schottky rectifiers designed for space-constrained applications. The SL03 base model indicates a 1.1 A current rating within this family. The DO-219AB package offers a smaller footprint compared to traditional axial leads, supporting modern surface-mount technology trends in consumer and industrial electronics manufacturing.
