TSSA5U50 E3G

Single Diodes Overview

The TSSA5U50 E3G is a Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 5 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. The device utilizes patented trench Schottky technology to achieve low forward voltage drop, specified as a maximum of 540 mV at 5 A. It is housed in the DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package, designed for high efficiency and low power loss in DC/DC converter applications.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including the suffix E3G to confirm RoHS compliance and lead-free status. Ensure the DO-214AC package type matches the PCB footprint requirements. Confirm moisture sensitivity level ratings if pre-baking is required for storage conditions prior to assembly.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 V reverse voltage rating and 5 A continuous current capacity are required in a compact SMA package. The trench Schottky structure offers superior efficiency compared to standard junction diodes. Consider thermal management capabilities based on the specific ambient temperature and duty cycle of the target application circuit.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the TSSA series of Schottky rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series is characterized by low forward voltage drops and fast switching speeds. The E3G suffix indicates environmental compliance with RoHS standards and absence of halogenated substances, aligning with modern manufacturing regulations.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

The TSSA5U60 E3G serves as a verified substitute within the same family, offering identical current and package specifications but with a higher 60 V reverse voltage rating. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before implementation.
