VISHAY SSC54-E3/57T Schottky Rectifier, 40V 5A, DO-214AB

The VISHAY SSC54-E3/57T is a high-performance, surface-mount Schottky rectifier designed for demanding power management applications. Engineered with high current density, it features matte tin-plated leads for excellent solderability and a UL94V-0 flame-rated moulding compound case for enhanced safety. A colour band clearly denotes the cathode end polarity, ensuring correct and reliable installation.

This rectifier is engineered for low power losses and high efficiency, with a remarkably low forward voltage drop of just 490mV. It offers robust performance with a high surge capability, making it suitable for circuits that experience sudden current spikes. Key voltage ratings include a maximum RMS voltage of 28V and a maximum DC blocking voltage of 40V, with guarding for overvoltage protection built-in.

Its compact DO-214AB (SMC) case style is perfectly suited for automated placement, streamlining high-volume manufacturing processes. The combination of its electrical characteristics and physical robustness makes it an ideal component for modern, space-constrained electronic designs where reliability and thermal performance are critical.
