SS16LW

Single Diodes Overview

The SS16LW is a surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a single diode configuration in an SOD-123W-2 package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum average forward rectified current of 1 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage of 700 mV at rated current and a low reverse leakage current of 100 uA. It supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 30 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Low forward voltage drop for high efficiency
• Guardring structure for overvoltage protection
• High surge current capability
• Suitable for automated placement

Single Diodes Applications

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

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes (e.g., HRQG) against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact packaging, tape-and-reel quantities, and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the component meets AEC-Q101 automotive qualification requirements if intended for automotive electronics. Cross-reference ordering numbers with authorized distributors to avoid obsolete or discontinued variants.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact surface-mount solution is required for low-voltage, medium-current rectification. The SOD-123W-2 package offers a balance between current handling and board space. Consider the 60 V rating for general-purpose power supplies and ensure thermal management aligns with the 150°C maximum junction temperature limit during operation.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Taiwan Semiconductor's series of surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifiers designed for low power loss and high efficiency. The family typically utilizes silicon technology and guardring structures to enhance reliability. These components are engineered for use in consumer electronics, telecommunications, and industrial equipment where small form factors and fast switching speeds are critical.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as the SS16F3G or SS16HF3 from the same manufacturer, ensuring identical pinout and electrical ratings. Verify that alternative packages like DO-214AC (SMA) provide sufficient thermal performance if the footprint differs.
