Product details
Overview
B140BQ-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0A, 40V peak repetitive reverse voltage surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMB package, with maximum forward voltage of 0.5V at 1.0A and reverse leakage current ≤0.5mA at 25°C. It delivers low power loss and high efficiency for polarity protection, freewheeling, and blocking functions in DC-DC converters and automotive power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the B140BQ-13-F datasheet, B140BQ-13-F pinout, B140BQ-13-F application, or B140BQ-13-F equivalent, this part supports AEC-Q101 qualified designs requiring low VF, fast switching (12ns trr), surge robustness (30A IFSM), and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating in SMB footprint.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses guard ring die construction to enhance transient immunity and suppress edge breakdown. Its low forward voltage drop and minimal reverse recovery time enable efficient operation in high-frequency switching topologies such as synchronous buck converters and flyback snubbers.
The device operates across –65°C to +150°C junction temperature range, with thermal resistance of 65°C/W when mounted on a 50mm×50mm×23mm aluminum heatsink. It exhibits 110pF total capacitance at 4V reverse bias and 1MHz, supporting stable performance in noise-sensitive signal path isolation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating limit for blocking applications. |
| IO (Avg) | 1.0 A - Continuous average forward current rating at TT = +130°C; defines steady-state power handling capability. |
| VF (Max) | 0.5 V @ 1.0A - Forward voltage drop limiting conduction loss and self-heating in low-voltage rails. |
| IR (Max) | 0.5 mA @ 40V, 25°C - Reverse leakage current determining off-state power waste and signal integrity in high-impedance circuits. |
| tRR | 12 ns - Reverse recovery time enabling use in >1 MHz switching converters without excessive ringing or EMI. |
| IFSM | 30 A - Non-repetitive surge current rating allowing tolerance of inrush or fault transients without failure. |
| RθJA (with heatsink) | 65 °C/W - Thermal resistance enabling 1.0A operation at ambient up to +85°C with defined heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB140-E3/52 (Vishay) | Same SMB package, 40V VRRM, but VF = 0.55V (max @ 1A); RθJA = 70°C/W (no heatsink spec). | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; not recommended for automotive production. | Select if cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance and thermal margin. |
| SS14 (ON Semiconductor) | SMB package, 40V VRRM, VF = 0.55V (max @ 1A); IR = 0.5mA (same), but no guard ring or PPAP capability. | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; limited traceability for Tier-1 OEM programs. | Acceptable for industrial consumer designs where qualification documentation is not required. |
Compared with SB140-E3/52 and SS14, B140BQ-13-F provides tighter VF control (0.5V max), verified AEC-Q101 compliance, and documented PPAP readiness-making it the preferred choice for automotive and mission-critical industrial power paths where reliability and supply chain assurance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The B140BQ-13-F has an operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. For continuous 1.0A DC operation, thermal design must ensure TJ does not exceed +130°C, achievable with a 65°C/W heatsink at TA ≤ +85°C or using PCB copper area per Diodes' suggested pad layout for SMB.
Is B140BQ-13-F compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes. The device features matte tin-plated terminals and is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020, including peak temperatures up to 260°C. Moisture sensitivity level is rated at Level 1, eliminating bake requirements prior to assembly.
How does the guard ring construction improve reliability?
The guard ring die structure reduces electric field crowding at the semiconductor edge, preventing premature avalanche breakdown during voltage transients. This extends operational life under repeated load-dump or inductive-switching stress common in automotive 12V systems.
Can B140BQ-13-F replace B140Q-13-F in existing designs?
No. B140Q-13-F uses the smaller SMA package (RθJA = 115°C/W), while B140BQ-13-F uses SMB (RθJA = 65°C/W with heatsink). PCB footprints, thermal relief, and current derating curves differ; direct substitution requires layout and thermal validation.
