27. Diode Selection and Application

Question.10

Hardware Developer is selecting a reverse-polarity protection diode in series with the +24V input of an industrial sensor. The line carries up to 2 A and can see inductive flyback spikes up to 60 V when nearby relays switch. The design requires:

Schottky barrier diode, V_R ≥ 80V (for surge headroom), I_F ≥ 3A, V_F ≤ 0.9V at 2A, SMA/SMB SMD package

She chooses the part SS210A (SMC Diode Solutions)

Is this the correct component for the given requirement?
