SS12

Single Diodes Overview

The SS12 is a surface mount Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a single silicon element housed in the SMA (DO-214AC) plastic package. The device is rated for a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 30V and an average forward rectified current of 1A. Key electrical characteristics include a low forward voltage drop and minimal reverse leakage current, ensuring high efficiency in low-voltage applications.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Schottky barrier construction provides low power loss and high switching efficiency
• Guard ring die technology ensures stable performance under stress
• Plastic case material meets UL flammability classification rating 94V-0

Single Diodes Applications

• Low voltage DC-DC converters
• Power supply freewheeling diodes
• Reverse polarity protection circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation explicitly states Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation to distinguish from generic equivalents. Confirm the package type matches DO-214AC specifications. Check datasheet revisions for any updates to thermal or electrical ratings before finalizing component selection for production.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1A current rating and 30V blocking capability are required in a compact surface mount form factor. Ensure the application operates within the specified temperature range and does not exceed the surge overload rating. Consider thermal management requirements based on the specific PCB layout and ambient conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the standard Schottky rectifier family designed for general-purpose power conversion. It utilizes silicon technology optimized for fast recovery and low forward voltage. The SMA package allows for automated assembly processes, making it suitable for high-volume manufacturing environments requiring reliable surface mount solutions.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' SS12 parts to verify pinout compatibility and exact electrical parameter matching. Ensure substitute components maintain the same DO-214AC footprint and lead-free compliance standards.
