SS34C

Single Diodes Overview

The MDD SS34C is a surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in the DO-214AB (SMC) package. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 3.0A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 40V. The device has an instantaneous forward voltage of 0.55V at 3.0A and a maximum DC reverse current of 0.5mA at rated blocking voltage. Operating junction temperature ranges from -55°C to +150°C, with a typical thermal resistance of 50°C/W.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Metal silicon junction construction for majority carrier conduction
• Plastic package carries Underwriters Laboratory flammability classification 94V-0
• Built-in strain relief designed for automated placement

Single Diodes Applications

• SMD applications requiring high efficiency
• General purpose rectification in power supplies

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific NextGen Components part code SS34C00000S040 against original manufacturer documentation. Confirm RoHS III compliance status and REACH SVHC declarations prior to final design integration. Ensure the SMC/DO-214AB footprint matches the recommended pad layout dimensions provided in the specification sheet.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring a 40V reverse voltage rating and 3A continuous forward current capability. The SMC package provides higher current handling than smaller SMA or SMB cases. Verify that the 50°C/W thermal resistance fits the system's heat dissipation requirements under expected load conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the SS3 series of Schottky barrier rectifiers manufactured by MDD Diodes. The 'C' suffix indicates the SMC/DO-214AB case style. It serves as a surface-mount alternative to through-hole rectifiers, offering low power loss and high surge current capability for compact electronic designs.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with Vishay SS34-M3/57T or onsemi SS34FA for equivalent electrical ratings. Verify pinout polarity and physical dimensions before substitution.
