Product details
Overview
B160AE-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 60 V, 1 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMA package, featuring 0.65 V max forward voltage at 1 A and 0.2 mA max reverse leakage at 60 V/25°C, optimized for boost, blocking, and recirculating diode roles in DC-DC converters and power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the B160AE-13 datasheet, B160AE-13 pinout, B160AE-13 application, or B160AE-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include low VF for efficiency, high-temperature IR stability, SMA thermal resistance (95°C/W), and RoHS/Green compliance for industrial and consumer power designs.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses a planar epitaxial construction to achieve low forward voltage drop and controlled junction capacitance (45 pF at 4 V). Its low RθJA (95°C/W) and RθJC (45°C/W) support operation up to +150°C ambient with derated current above +75°C.
The device exhibits stable reverse leakage-0.2 mA at 60 V/25°C and ≤8.0 mA at 60 V/125°C-enabling reliable performance in thermally constrained switching power stages where thermal runaway must be avoided.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for output capacitor voltage rating in boost topologies. |
| IO | 1 A - Average rectified output current at +25°C; usable up to ~0.7 A at +100°C per derating curve. |
| VF (max) | 0.65 V @ 1 A, +25°C - Low conduction loss improves converter efficiency and reduces heatsink requirements. |
| IR (max) | 0.2 mA @ 60 V, +25°C - Tight leakage spec enables stable operation in high-impedance feedback or hold-up circuits. |
| CT | 45 pF @ 4 V, 1 MHz - Low junction capacitance minimizes switching losses and EMI in high-frequency SMPS. |
| RθJA | 95°C/W - Thermal resistance on FR-4 board (0.4" × 0.5", 2 oz Cu); defines temperature rise under steady-state load. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), surface-mount, molded plastic case with matte tin–annealed copper leadframe; cathode indicated by band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input current entry point | Connected to source/switch node; must handle peak surge current (30 A, 8.3 ms half-sine). |
| Cathode | Output current exit point | Connected to output rail or inductor; polarity band identifies this terminal; critical for correct PCB layout routing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage | 0.65 V max at 1 A/25°C - Reduces conduction loss by >30% vs. standard PN rectifiers, improving light-load efficiency. |
| High-temperature leakage control | ≤8.0 mA at 60 V/125°C - Enables stable operation in sealed enclosures or automotive under-hood environments. |
| RoHS & Green compliant | Halogen- and antimony-free (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) - Meets IPC-1752A material declarations for sustainability programs. |
| SMA thermal performance | RθJA = 95°C/W on standard FR-4 - Allows direct placement on compact PCBs without thermal vias in low-power adapters. |
Applications
| Boost Converter Diode | Blocking Diode |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used in non-isolated boost converters for USB PD adapters and LED drivers to transfer energy from input to output during switch-off phase. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path enabling inductor energy transfer; conducts only when MOSFET is off. Use Value: 0.65 V VF minimizes power loss during conduction, directly increasing conversion efficiency by ~1.2% at 1 A output. | Use Scenario: Placed between battery and system rail to prevent backflow during charging or standby in portable electronics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-polarity protection element; blocks current when battery voltage drops below system voltage. Use Value: 0.2 mA IR at 25°C ensures negligible quiescent drain, extending shelf life of coin-cell–powered devices. |
| Recirculating Diode | DC-DC Output Rectifier |
Use Scenario: Freewheeling path across inductive loads (e.g., solenoids, relays) in automotive body control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-impedance return path for stored inductor energy during switch turn-off. Use Value: Fast recovery (inherent to Schottky) eliminates reverse recovery charge, reducing EMI and MOSFET stress. | Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 5–12 V isolated flyback or forward converters for industrial sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Converts transformer secondary AC to regulated DC output; operates continuously at rated current. Use Value: 1 A average current rating and 95°C/W thermal resistance allow full-load operation on 2-layer PCBs without heatsinks. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS16-E3/5AT (Vishay) | Same 60 V VRRM, 1 A IO, but VF = 0.7 V max @ 1 A; RθJA = 100°C/W (SMA) | Higher VF increases conduction loss; slightly lower thermal performance limits high-temp reliability | Select if cost sensitivity outweighs 50 mV VF penalty and ambient stays <85°C |
| MBR160T3G (ON Semiconductor) | Same SMA package, 60 V, 1 A, but VF = 0.55 V typ (0.7 V max); IR = 0.5 mA @ 60 V/25°C | Lower typical VF improves efficiency, but higher IR may affect leakage-critical hold-up circuits | Select for highest efficiency in low-power adapters where leakage is not limiting |
Compared with SS16-E3/5AT and MBR160T3G, B160AE-13 offers the tightest IR spec (0.2 mA) for high-reliability blocking applications, while maintaining competitive VF and thermal resistance-making it optimal for thermally constrained, leakage-sensitive designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for B160AE-13?
The B160AE-13 has an operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. At +150°C, its average forward current is derated to approximately 0.45 A per the DC forward current derating curve. Ambient temperature limits depend on PCB layout and airflow, but with standard FR-4 mounting, sustained operation above +100°C requires thermal design mitigation.
Is B160AE-13 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-B160AE-13 meets AEC-Q200 stress test guidelines for passive components and operates reliably from –40°C to +125°C ambient. Its low IR at high temperature (≤8.0 mA at 125°C) and robust thermal resistance make it suitable for under-dash modules, body control units, and infotainment power rails where thermal stability is critical.
How does the SMA package affect soldering and reliability?
The SMA package uses matte tin–annealed copper leads, ensuring compatibility with standard SnPb and lead-free reflow profiles. Its J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity allows floor life unlimited at ≤30°C/60% RH. The 0.063 g weight and UL 94V-0 molding compound support high-yield automated assembly and long-term mechanical stability in vibration-prone environments.
Can B160AE-13 replace B150AE-13 in existing designs?
Yes-B160AE-13 is a direct upgrade from B150AE-13, sharing identical SMA package, pinout, and thermal characteristics, but with higher 60 V VRRM (vs. 50 V) and slightly higher IR (0.2 mA vs. 0.1 mA). It can be substituted without layout change where 60 V blocking margin is needed, though designers should verify reverse voltage stress margins in the target circuit.
