SS315

Single Diodes Overview

The SS315 is a Schottky Barrier Rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a 3 A average forward rectified current rating and a 150 V repetitive peak reverse voltage capability. The device utilizes a low-profile SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package, designed for high efficiency in power conversion applications. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum DC blocking voltage of 150 V and a maximum RMS voltage of 105 V. The component supports a maximum operating junction temperature of 175 °C and offers a low forward voltage drop to minimize conduction losses.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code on the ordering information to confirm the exact tape and reel quantity or lead time requirements. Confirm that the requested variant matches the required RoHS compliance status and packaging format specified in the official datasheet before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring high-frequency rectification with minimal reverse recovery charge. Ensure the thermal management design accommodates the 175 °C junction temperature limit. Verify that the PCB footprint aligns with the SMB outline dimensions provided in the package drawing section of the datasheet.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the family of surface-mount Schottky rectifiers offered by Taiwan Semiconductor. These devices are engineered to replace bulkier through-hole rectifiers in modern electronics. The series focuses on reducing forward voltage drop while maintaining robust reverse leakage performance across wide temperature ranges.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same manufacturer's portfolio that share identical current and voltage ratings. Verify that any substitute maintains the same SMB package outline and thermal resistance characteristics to ensure mechanical fit.
