SS26

Single Diodes Overview

The SS26 is a Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features an average forward current of 2 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V. The device utilizes silicon technology in a DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 700 mV at 2 A, a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50 A, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 400 uA. The component operates within a junction temperature range from -65 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Low power loss characteristics due to Schottky barrier technology

• Free wheeling diode circuits
• Efficiency optimization in power supplies

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation when sourcing, as multiple vendors produce components with this base model number. Confirm that the package type matches the required footprint, typically DO-214AC or DO-214AA depending on the supplier's variant. Ensure compliance with relevant environmental standards such as RoHS if required for the target market. Cross-reference datasheets to confirm exact electrical tolerances before integration.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low forward voltage drop and high switching speed. The 2 A current rating supports moderate power levels in compact designs. Consider thermal management requirements given the small surface-mount package. Verify that the 60 V reverse voltage rating exceeds the maximum circuit voltage with adequate margin. Compare surge current capabilities against potential inrush conditions in the specific application environment.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the family of Schottky barrier rectifiers designed for efficient DC-DC conversion and general rectification tasks. The series offers improved performance over standard PN junction diodes due to reduced forward voltage and negligible reverse recovery charge. These devices are commonly used in consumer electronics, adapters, and automotive systems where space constraints and energy efficiency are critical design factors.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include Vishay SS26HM3_A/H and ON Semiconductor variants within the same voltage and current ratings. Ensure replacement parts maintain identical package dimensions and pin configurations. Verify that alternative manufacturers meet the same thermal and electrical specifications for seamless integration.
