Product details
Overview
B140AE-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 40 V, 1 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMA package, featuring 0.5 V max forward voltage at 1 A and 0.2 mA max reverse leakage at 40 V/25°C. It delivers low conduction loss and stable high-temperature leakage performance for DC-DC converter output rectification, boost diode applications, and recirculating paths in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the B140AE-13 datasheet, B140AE-13 pinout, B140AE-13 application, or B140AE-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40 V reverse voltage rating, 1 A average rectified current capability, thermal resistance of 95 °C/W (junction-to-ambient), RoHS-compliant matte tin finish, and cathode-band polarity marking on SMA package.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses a planar metal-semiconductor junction to achieve low forward voltage drop and fast switching with no minority-carrier storage delay. Its design targets high-efficiency, high-frequency rectification where low VF and controlled IR are critical.
Rated for continuous operation from –55°C to +150°C, it maintains ≤0.2 mA reverse leakage at 40 V and 25°C, and exhibits typical junction capacitance of 50 pF at 4.0 V/1 MHz - enabling stable performance in SMPS output stages and flyback snubbers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating limit in 36 V nominal systems. |
| IO(AV) | 1 A - Average rectified output current at TA = 25°C; derates to ~0.6 A at 100°C ambient per Figure 4. |
| VF(max) | 0.5 V @ 1 A, 25°C - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in 5 V–12 V output rectifiers. |
| IR(max) | 0.2 mA @ 40 V, 25°C - Tight leakage control supports reliability in thermally stressed environments. |
| RθJA | 95 °C/W - Thermal resistance defines junction temperature rise under PCB-mounted conditions (0.4" × 0.5", 2 oz Cu). |
| CT(typ) | 50 pF @ 4 V, 1 MHz - Low junction capacitance minimizes switching noise and EMI in high-frequency converters. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), surface-mount, molded plastic case with UL 94V-0 rating, cathode band marking, matte tin-plated copper leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., switch node in boost, source in synchronous rectifier assist). |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked with band; ties to output rail or positive bus; blocks reverse current up to 40 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VF Schottky architecture | 0.5 V max at 1 A/25°C reduces conduction loss by ≥30% vs. standard PN rectifiers. |
| High-temp IR stability | 0.2 mA max leakage at 40 V/25°C and <10 mA at 40 V/125°C prevents thermal runaway in enclosed designs. |
| RoHS & Green compliant | Lead-free, halogen-free (<900 ppm Br+Cl), antimony-free - meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and IPC-1752A. |
| SMA package thermal performance | 95 °C/W RθJA enables 1 A operation without heatsink on standard FR-4 PCBs. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Boost Converter Diode |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying output of non-isolated buck-boost or flyback converters delivering 3.3 V–24 V at up to 1 A. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path that conducts during diode-on phase and blocks reverse voltage during switch-on phase. Use Value: 0.5 V VF minimizes power loss and thermal stress; 40 V VRRM safely handles reflected spikes in 24 V input systems. | Use Scenario: Boost diode in 12 V automotive or industrial DC-DC modules stepping up to 24 V or 48 V rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Blocks reverse current from output capacitor while allowing inductor energy transfer during switch-off interval. Use Value: Fast recovery (no stored charge) eliminates reverse recovery loss; low IR ensures stable regulation under load transients. |
| Blocking Diode in Power ORing | Recirculating Diode in Solenoid/Relay Drivers |
Use Scenario: Preventing backfeed between redundant 5 V or 12 V power sources in telecom or server boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Forward-biased only when upstream source voltage exceeds downstream rail; blocks reverse current otherwise. Use Value: 1 A IO rating supports dual-rail redundancy; low VF avoids significant voltage drop across ORing path. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path for inductive loads such as 12 V solenoids or relay coils in PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-impedance path for coil current decay when driver FET turns off. Use Value: 30 A IFSM surge rating absorbs inductive kick energy; 0.5 V VF limits dissipation during extended recirculation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS14 (SMA) | Same 40 V VRRM, 1 A IO, but VF = 0.5 V @ 1 A/25°C (typical 0.45 V); IR = 0.5 mA @ 40 V/25°C - higher leakage. | Acceptable in ambient-temperature-limited designs; less suitable above 85°C due to elevated IR. | Select SS14 only if cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin requirements. |
| MBR140 (SMA) | 40 V VRRM, 1 A IO, VF = 0.55 V @ 1 A/25°C; IR = 0.1 mA @ 40 V/25°C - tighter leakage but higher VF. | Better for low-leakage precision bias networks; less efficient in high-current rectification. | Prefer MBR140 where reverse leakage dominates system error budget over conduction loss. |
Compared with SS14 and MBR140, B140AE-13 balances low VF (0.5 V max) and moderate IR (0.2 mA) within a qualified SMA footprint - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 1 A rectification where both efficiency and reliability matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation of B140AE-13?
The device is rated for continuous operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature. At 1 A DC current and 25°C ambient on a standard FR-4 PCB (0.4" × 0.5", 2 oz Cu), junction temperature rises ~95°C above ambient - reaching ~120°C, well within the 150°C absolute maximum rating.
Is B140AE-13 suitable for use in automotive applications?
B140AE-13 meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for passive components and operates reliably from –55°C to +150°C. However, it is not AEC-Q101 qualified as a discrete semiconductor. For automotive under-hood use, validation against specific environmental and lifetime requirements is required.
Does B140AE-13 have a specified reverse recovery time (trr)?
No - as a Schottky barrier rectifier, B140AE-13 has no minority carrier storage and therefore no defined reverse recovery time. Its switching is limited only by junction capacitance (50 pF typical) and circuit inductance, enabling clean turn-off in high-frequency SMPS applications.
Can B140AE-13 be used in place of a PN junction rectifier like 1N4007?
Only in low-voltage, high-efficiency applications ≤40 V. While B140AE-13 offers lower VF and faster switching than 1N4007, its 40 V VRRM is far below 1N4007's 1000 V rating. Substitution is valid only where reverse voltage remains ≤40 V and thermal design accounts for higher leakage at elevated temperatures.
