SS12P2LHM3/87A

Single Diodes Overview

The SS12P2LHM3/87A is a high current density surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a single diode configuration in an SMPC (TO-277A) package. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 12 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 20 V. Key electrical parameters include a peak forward surge current of 280 A, a typical junction capacitance of 930 pF at 4.0 V and 1 MHz, and a maximum operating junction temperature of 150 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Guardring structure provides overvoltage protection capabilities
• Low forward voltage drop minimizes power losses for high efficiency
• Low thermal resistance facilitates effective heat dissipation
• Meets MSL level 1 requirements with LF maximum peak of 260 °C

Single Diodes Applications

• Low voltage high frequency inverters
• Freewheeling applications
• DC/DC converters
• Polarity protection circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix to confirm the delivery mode and base quantity. The /87A designation indicates a 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with a base quantity of 6500 units. Ensure the HM3 suffix is present to confirm halogen-free, RoHS-compliant status and compliance with JESD 201 class 2 whisker testing standards.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a low-profile surface-mount solution with high current handling. The SMPC package offers an ideal form factor for automated placement processes. Consider the 20 V reverse voltage rating and 12 A continuous current capacity when matching circuit requirements. Verify that the application environment remains within the specified -55 °C to +150 °C operating temperature range.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the eSMP series of high current density surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifiers. The SS12P2L variant specifically denotes the 20 V version within the family, sharing mechanical dimensions and general characteristics with the SS12P3L model while differing in reverse voltage ratings.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

SS12P2LHM3_A/I serves as a direct substitute offering identical electrical specifications but packaged in a 13-inch tape and reel format with a base quantity of 6500 units.
