The SS3 series avalanche power diodes are low voltage high current diodes designed for surface mount applications with low forward voltage drop and high surge current capability.
The SS3 Series controlled avalanche power diodes are designed for surface‑mounted applications. They feature a metal‑to‑silicon rectifier with low forward voltage drop, high surge‑current capability, and an epitaxial construction that allows high‑temperature soldering.
The datasheet lists detailed electrical ratings such as reverse voltage, forward current, thermal resistance, and operating temperature range, as well as mechanical dimensions and package information for the DO‑214AB (SMC) surface‑mount package.
| Maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage (VRRM) | 40 V (SS34) / 60 V (SS36) |
|---|---|
| Maximum RMS voltage (VRMS) | 28 V (SS34) / 42 V (SS36) |
| Maximum DC blocking voltage (VDC) | 40 V (SS34) / 60 V (SS36) |
| Operating temperature range (TJ) | -55 °C to +125 °C |
The diodes can be soldered at a high temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds at the terminals.
