Product details
Overview
B140Q-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 40 V, 1.0 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMA package, featuring 0.5 V forward voltage at 1.0 A and 0.5 mA reverse leakage at rated voltage and +25°C. It delivers low power loss for DC-DC converters, polarity protection circuits, and freewheeling paths in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the B140Q-13-F datasheet, B140Q-13-F pinout, B140Q-13-F application, or B140Q-13-F equivalent, this part supports high-efficiency, low-voltage (<40 V), high-frequency rectification with AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS-compliant lead-free plating, and transient robustness via guard ring die construction.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode operates as a unidirectional, low-VF rectifier optimized for switching-mode power conversion where fast recovery (12 ns tRR) and minimal conduction loss are critical. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 115 °C/W on standard FR-4 PCB and drops to 65 °C/W with a 50 mm × 50 mm × 23 mm aluminum heatsink.
The device uses guard ring die construction to enhance surge immunity-rated for 30 A non-repetitive peak forward surge current-and exhibits stable reverse characteristics up to 150 °C junction temperature, with IR rising to 10 mA at +100°C under rated VR.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; sets upper limit for DC bus or flyback clamp voltage rating. |
| IO | 1.0 A - Average rectified output current at TT = +130°C; defines continuous conduction capability in steady-state operation. |
| VF Max | 0.5 V @ IF = 1.0 A - Low forward drop reduces conduction loss by ~50% vs. silicon PN diodes, improving efficiency in 3.3–12 V systems. |
| IR Max | 0.5 mA @ VR = 40 V, TA = +25°C - Low leakage preserves battery life and minimizes standby power in always-on circuits. |
| tRR | 12 ns - Ultrafast reverse recovery enables use in >100 kHz SMPS without snubber networks or excessive EMI. |
| RθJA | 115 °C/W - Thermal resistance on standard 1 oz. FR-4 board; determines required PCB copper area for thermal management. |
| IFSM | 30 A - Surge rating allows safe handling of inductive kickback in motor drives and relay coils without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), molded plastic case with UL 94V-0 flammability rating, cathode indicated by band, matte tin-plated terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal during forward conduction | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path) in polarity protection; must handle full load current and surge. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal during forward conduction; marked with band | Connected to higher-potential side (e.g., input rail); reverse-biased during off-state to block voltage up to 40 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Enables 4 kV HBM ESD tolerance and robustness against voltage transients in automotive load-dump environments. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and high-temperature operating life. |
| Lead-free, halogen-free "Green" finish | Meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements for reflow compatibility. |
| Low thermal resistance design | 115 °C/W RθJA on standard PCB enables 1.0 A operation without forced air or heatsink in space-constrained layouts. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Polarity Protection Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used in synchronous or asynchronous buck converter outputs delivering 3.3 V/5 V/12 V to microcontrollers and sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode providing low-loss current path during high-side switch off-time. Use Value: 0.5 V VF cuts conduction loss by >60% vs. 1N5819, increasing efficiency by 2–3% at 1 A load. | Use Scenario: Placed in series with power input to prevent damage from reversed battery or supply connections. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-blocking element that conducts only when polarity is correct. Use Value: 40 V VRRM covers 24 V automotive systems with margin; 0.5 mA leakage avoids battery drain in always-connected modules. |
| Inductive Load Freewheeling | Low-Voltage OR'ing Diode |
Use Scenario: Connected across solenoids, relays, or small DC motors to suppress back-EMF spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamping diode that recirculates stored inductor energy during turn-off. Use Value: 30 A IFSM withstands short-duration inductive surges without failure; 12 ns tRR prevents voltage overshoot ringing. | Use Scenario: Employed in dual-power-source systems (e.g., battery + USB) to enable seamless source selection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional isolation diode allowing current flow from higher-voltage source only. Use Value: Low VF minimizes voltage drop between sources, preserving regulation accuracy and reducing heat in compact enclosures. |
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, 1.0 A IO, but VF = 0.5 V @ 1.0 A (identical), IR = 0.5 mA @ 25°C - matches B140Q-13-F electrically. | No AEC-Q101 qualification; not automotive-grade; lacks PPAP capability. | Select SS14 for cost-sensitive commercial designs where automotive reliability is not required. |
| SB140 (SMB) | Same electrical specs (40 V, 1.0 A, 0.5 V VF), but SMB package offers higher thermal mass (RθJA = 65 °C/W with heatsink) and 0.093 g weight vs. SMA's 0.064 g. | SMB footprint requires larger PCB pad layout; better suited for higher ambient temperature or sustained 1 A loads. | Choose SB140 when thermal headroom is constrained and board space permits SMB mounting. |
Compared with SS14 and SB140, B140Q-13-F uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and SMA footprint - making it optimal for automotive front-end modules and space-limited industrial controllers requiring certified reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for B140Q-13-F?
The B140Q-13-F has an operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. Its thermal design assumes 115°C/W RθJA on standard FR-4 PCB; derating curves in Figure 10 confirm 1.0 A IO is sustainable up to +130°C case temperature under specified conditions.
Is B140Q-13-F compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes - B140Q-13-F features matte tin-plated terminals qualified to MIL-STD-202 Method 208 and complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1, supporting standard Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak temperature without delamination or solderability degradation.
Does B140Q-13-F have a specified reverse recovery time?
Yes - the datasheet specifies tRR = 12 ns under test conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1 A, and IRR = 0.25 A with RG1. This ultrafast recovery enables clean switching in high-frequency DC-DC converters without external snubbers.
Can B140Q-13-F be used in place of a 1N5819 in existing designs?
Yes - B140Q-13-F matches 1N5819's 40 V VRRM and 1.0 A IO, with identical 0.5 V VF at 1.0 A and improved 30 A IFSM (vs. 25 A). Its SMA package is pin-compatible, and AEC-Q101 qualification adds reliability for automotive upgrades.
