UMW
Matches current rating with higher voltage, but has a much higher forward voltage drop.
Finding a substitute for the onsemi SS24T3G, a 40V 2A Schottky diode, involves balancing key electrical parameters. While several alternatives exist in the same SMB package, trade-offs in efficiency and leakage current are common.
Most candidates have higher forward voltage, impacting efficiency. One has very high reverse leakage.
All suggested candidates use the same SMB package, ensuring physical compatibility.
No perfect drop-in replacement was found. All viable alternatives have trade-offs in either forward voltage (efficiency), reverse leakage current, or operating temperature.
For efficiency, STPS5L60U has lower forward voltage but requires checking its high reverse leakage. For a general match, UMW SS26B has the same current rating but with higher power loss.
The primary risk is increased power dissipation and heat due to higher forward voltage (Vf) in most alternatives, or excessive leakage current with STPS5L60U.
