SL52-3G

Single Diodes Overview

The SL52-3G is a third-generation SMD Schottky Barrier Rectifier Diode manufactured by Diotec Semiconductor. It features an average forward current (IFAV) of 5.0 A and a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 140 A at 50 Hz or 150 A at 60 Hz. The device has a maximum repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) of 20 V, with a typical junction capacitance of 320 pF. Forward voltage (VF) is less than 0.44 V at 5 A and 25°C. Leakage current (IR) is typically 3 µA at 20 V and 100°C. Operating and storage temperatures range from -50°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type and tape/reel specifications against the official datasheet before ordering. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS and ELV status directly with the manufacturer documentation. Ensure that the requested quantity matches standard packaging formats provided by Diotec Semiconductor. Cross-reference the part number SL52-3G with any recent product change notices to confirm current availability and manufacturing status.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select the SL52-3G when a 5 A continuous current rating and low forward voltage are required in a surface-mount configuration. Consider its 20 V reverse voltage rating for low-voltage applications. Evaluate the thermal resistance characteristics relative to the PCB copper pad area for adequate heat dissipation. Compare leakage current specifications at elevated temperatures if operating near the maximum junction temperature limit.

Single Diodes Part Context

The SL52-3G belongs to Diotec's third-generation SMD Schottky series, designed for improved performance over previous iterations. It complements other components like the SL54-3G, which offers higher voltage ratings. This series targets applications requiring efficient rectification in compact designs, leveraging advanced semiconductor materials to reduce power losses while maintaining reliability in commercial and industrial environments.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check for direct replacements within the same Diotec series, such as variants with different voltage ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics when substituting with similar Schottky diodes from other manufacturers. Ensure that any alternative component meets or exceeds the 5 A current and 150°C temperature requirements.
