Product details
Overview
B160Q-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 60 V, 1.0 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMA package, with 0.7 V max forward voltage at 1.0 A and 0.5 mA max reverse leakage at rated VR and +25°C, used for polarity protection and freewheeling in low-voltage DC/DC converters and automotive power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the B160Q-13-F datasheet, B160Q-13-F pinout, B160Q-13-F application, or B160Q-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60 V reverse voltage rating, low VF for reduced conduction loss, AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, and suitability for high-frequency switching in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier employs guard ring die construction to enhance transient surge immunity and suppress thermal runaway under repetitive overcurrent conditions. Its low junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (115 °C/W on FR-4, 65 °C/W with heatsink) supports reliable operation up to +150°C junction temperature.
The device exhibits fast switching performance with 12 ns typical reverse recovery time and 110 pF total capacitance at 4 V reverse bias, enabling efficient operation in high-frequency inverters and synchronous rectification circuits where low stored charge and minimal capacitive loading are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe blocking capability in 48 V automotive or industrial bus applications. |
| IO | 1.0 A - Average rectified output current at TT = +130°C; supports continuous 1 A DC load in thermally managed designs. |
| VF Max | 0.7 V @ IF = 1.0 A - Low forward drop reduces conduction loss and improves system efficiency in low-voltage power paths. |
| IR Max | 0.5 mA @ VR = 60 V, TA = +25°C - Low leakage preserves battery life and minimizes standby power in always-on systems. |
| tRR | 12 ns - Fast reverse recovery enables use in >100 kHz switching topologies without excessive switching loss or EMI. |
| RθJA | 115 °C/W - Thermal resistance on standard FR-4 board; determines required copper area or heatsinking for thermal compliance. |
| IFSM | 30 A peak - Surge rating allows tolerance of brief inrush or fault currents without degradation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), molded plastic case with UL 94V-0 flammability rating, cathode band polarity marking, matte tin-plated terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path) in reverse polarity protection or freewheeling configurations. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to higher-potential rail (e.g., input supply); cathode band identifies this terminal for correct PCB orientation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Improves ruggedness against voltage transients and prevents edge breakdown during repetitive surge events. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD (HBM 4 kV), supporting under-hood deployment. |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Meets RoHS 3 and JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity; eliminates hazardous substances without compromising solderability. |
| Low VF and CT | 0.7 V VF and 110 pF CT jointly reduce both conduction and capacitive switching losses in high-frequency SMPS. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Supply Protection | DC/DC Converter Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Reverse battery connection protection in 12 V/24 V vehicle infotainment and body control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Polarity protection diode placed in series with main power input to block reverse current flow.

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, 1.0 A IO, but VF = 0.75 V max; slightly higher RθJA (120 °C/W). | Identical automotive and industrial use cases; lacks AEC-Q101 certification. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirement. |
| SB160-E3/52 (Vishay) | 60 V VRRM, 1.0 A IO, VF = 0.7 V max, but IR = 1.0 mA @ 25°C - double B160Q-13-F's leakage. | Suitable for non-battery-critical applications; not qualified to AEC-Q101. | Prefer for commercial-grade designs where leakage <0.5 mA is not mandatory. |
Compared with SS16-E3/5AT and SB160-E3/52, B160Q-13-F delivers tighter reverse leakage control and automotive-grade reliability without sacrificing VF or package compatibility - making it optimal for safety-conscious, long-lifecycle embedded power designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for B160Q-13-F?
The B160Q-13-F has an operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C, verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing. Its thermal design must ensure TJ does not exceed +150°C under worst-case ambient and power dissipation conditions, using the specified RθJA values and derating curves in Figure 10.
Is B160Q-13-F suitable for synchronous rectification?
While B160Q-13-F is a passive Schottky rectifier-not a synchronous MOSFET driver-it is commonly used as the freewheeling diode in non-synchronous buck converters. Its 12 ns tRR and low VF make it viable for ≤500 kHz operation, but true synchronous rectification requires active gate-controlled MOSFETs.
Does B160Q-13-F have a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating?
Yes, B160Q-13-F is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH and requires no baking prior to reflow soldering - simplifying manufacturing for high-volume automated assembly lines.
How does the guard ring construction improve reliability?
The guard ring die structure mitigates electric field crowding at the semiconductor edge, preventing premature avalanche breakdown during voltage transients. This enhances surge survivability (30 A IFSM) and extends operational lifetime in automotive environments subject to load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses.
