What is the SS36 used for?

It is commonly used in power management circuits, such as DC-DC converters, battery chargers, and general-purpose rectification where low forward voltage drop and high efficiency are required.

What are the key specifications of the SS36?

The SS36 features a 60V repetitive peak reverse voltage, a 3A average forward rectified current, and a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.70V at 3A.

What should engineers review before using the SS36?

Engineers should review the thermal derating curve (Fig. 1 in the datasheet) to ensure the device operates within safe temperature limits, especially when running at or near the 3A current rating.

What are the sourcing risks for the SS36?

The SS36 is an active, widely available component with high stock levels, presenting low sourcing risk for standard production requirements.
