Overview

The SS24-E3/52T is a surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier from Vishay Semiconductors designed for low-voltage, high-frequency inverters and polarity protection. This 2.0 Amp, 40 Volt device features a high surge current capability and is housed in a standard DO-214AA (SMB) package. It is widely used for freewheeling and DC/DC conversion due to its low forward voltage drop and fast switching speeds.

Why Choose This Part

This diode offers a low forward voltage drop of approximately 0.5V at 2A, which minimizes power dissipation and heat generation. Its Schottky barrier technology ensures guardring protection for stress relief and extremely fast recovery times suitable for high-frequency operation. The SMB package provides a reliable footprint for automated surface-mount assembly.

Applications

DC/DC Converters
Acts as a secondary-side rectifier in buck or boost regulators to improve efficiency over standard silicon diodes.
Polarity Protection
Protects sensitive circuitry from damage caused by reversed battery or power supply connections.
Freewheeling Diode
Suppresses voltage spikes across inductive loads like motors or solenoids during power-down.
High-Frequency Inverters
Enables efficient power switching in compact AC/DC or DC/DC power supply designs.
