SS25-M3/5BT

Single Diodes Overview

The SS25-M3/5BT is a Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 50 V and an average forward rectified current (Io) of 2 A. The device utilizes the DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage (Vf) of 700 mV at 2 A and a maximum reverse leakage current of 400 µA at 50 V. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Schottky technology for low forward voltage drop and high switching efficiency
• Surface-mount construction in a compact DO-214AA (SMB) package
• High surge current capability suitable for power supply applications

Single Diodes Applications

• DC-to-DC converters
• Power supply circuits
• Reverse polarity protection

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level for the intended assembly process. Cross-reference the part number with official Vishay documentation to avoid confusion with similar SMB-packaged devices.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 V reverse voltage rating and 2 A continuous current capacity are required in a surface-mount form factor. The Schottky barrier construction makes it suitable for applications prioritizing low conduction losses and fast recovery times over higher voltage blocking capabilities. Consider thermal management requirements given the 150°C maximum junction temperature limit.

Single Diodes Part Context

The SS25 belongs to Vishay's SMB-series Schottky rectifiers, designed for general-purpose rectification in space-constrained PCB layouts. This series offers a balance of current handling and voltage ratings for consumer electronics and industrial control systems. The M3 suffix indicates lead-free termination and compliance with specific environmental directives defined by the manufacturer.
