SRA830H

Single Diodes Overview

The SRA830H is a Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It is designed for high-efficiency power conversion applications requiring low forward voltage drop and fast switching speeds. The device features an 8-ampere average rectified current rating and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 30 volts. It utilizes silicon technology and is housed in a TO-220AC plastic package with an isolated case connection. The component supports a maximum junction temperature of 150 degrees Celsius, ensuring reliable operation under demanding thermal conditions.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Schottky barrier construction for minimal forward voltage drop
• High efficiency due to low power loss characteristics
• Isolated case connection for easy mounting to heat sinks

Single Diodes Applications

• Free-wheeling diodes in DC-DC converters
• Polarity protection circuits
• Power supply rectification

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'H' against the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet to confirm exact packaging or tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the manufacturer matches Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, as other vendors may produce similar part numbers with different electrical tolerances or pin configurations. Cross-reference the TO-220AC package dimensions for mechanical compatibility.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits that require low forward voltage at high currents to maximize efficiency. The 30V rating limits its use to low-voltage output stages. Consider the thermal resistance of the TO-220AC package and ensure adequate heatsinking for continuous 8A operation. Verify that the application does not exceed the maximum junction temperature of 150°C.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the series of Schottky rectifiers produced by Taiwan Semiconductor. These devices are engineered to replace standard p-n junction rectifiers in applications where speed and efficiency are critical. The TO-220AC package provides a robust mechanical solution for through-hole mounting in industrial and consumer power supplies.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the SRA830R from the same manufacturer family, which shares identical electrical ratings but may differ in packaging or reel configuration. Other generic equivalents must match the 8A current, 30V voltage, and TO-220AC package constraints.
