SS12HM3_B/I

Single Diodes Overview

The SS12HM3_B/I is a surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It is housed in an SMA (DO-214AC) package and features a single diode configuration. The component supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 20 V. Key electrical parameters include a low forward voltage drop and minimal reverse leakage current, ensuring efficient power conversion. The device is designed for high reliability and operates within a specified temperature range suitable for general-purpose applications.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Schottky barrier technology provides fast switching speeds and low forward voltage drop
• Encapsulated in the compact SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package
• Designed for high reliability with low reverse leakage current characteristics

Single Diodes Applications

• General-purpose rectification in low-voltage DC circuits
• Power supply input rectification stages
• Free-wheeling diodes in inductive load protection circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix to confirm the specific tape-and-reel quantity or cut-tape variant, as packaging options may vary. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if mandated by your assembly standards. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm the technical specifications align with your design constraints before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, small-footprint Schottky rectifier is required for currents up to 1 A. The 20 V rating makes it suitable for low-voltage battery-powered devices or logic-level power rails. Consider thermal management capabilities relative to the SMA package size if operating near maximum current limits in enclosed spaces.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay’s SSxM series of surface-mount Schottky rectifiers. The 'B' suffix typically denotes the SMA (DO-214AC) package style, while 'HM3' indicates Halogen-free and RoHS compliance. The '/I' suffix often specifies the internal reel packing format. This series is widely used in consumer electronics and industrial control boards requiring reliable low-voltage rectification.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 1 A current, 20 V voltage, and SMA (DO-214AC) package dimensions. Verify that alternative Schottky diodes from other manufacturers maintain comparable forward voltage and reverse leakage specifications to ensure circuit performance parity.
