Product details
Overview
B170-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 70 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 1.0 A average forward current Schottky barrier rectifier in SMA package, with maximum 0.79 V forward voltage at 1.0 A and 0.5 mA reverse leakage at rated VR and +25°C, used for polarity protection and DC-DC freewheeling in compact power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the B170-13-F datasheet, B170-13-F pinout, B170-13-F application, or B170-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include low VF for efficiency-critical 1A switching paths, 70V blocking capability for 48V bus clamping, thermal resistance (25°C/W), RoHS/Green compliance, and SMA package suitability for high-density automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses guard ring die construction to suppress transient-induced avalanche breakdown, enabling robust operation in inductive load commutation and reverse-polarity fault conditions. Its low junction-to-terminal thermal resistance (25°C/W) supports sustained 1.0 A conduction at +125°C terminal temperature.
The device exhibits 80 pF total capacitance at 4 V reverse bias and 1 MHz, minimizing high-frequency switching losses in DC-DC converters. Reverse leakage remains ≤0.5 mA at 70 V and +25°C, ensuring minimal standby power loss in blocking applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 70 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for DC bus clamping or AC input rectification. |
| IO (AV) | 1.0 A - Continuous average forward current rating at +125°C terminal temperature; defines steady-state power handling capacity. |
| VF (max) | 0.79 V @ 1.0 A, +25°C - Forward voltage drop determines conduction loss (0.79 W at 1A); lower than silicon diodes for improved efficiency. |
| IR (max) | 0.5 mA @ 70 V, +25°C - Reverse leakage current impacts standby power and signal integrity in high-impedance blocking circuits. |
| RθJT | 25 °C/W - Junction-to-terminal thermal resistance; enables thermal design using PCB copper as heatsink without external heatsink. |
| CT | 80 pF @ 4 V, 1 MHz - Junction capacitance affects high-frequency switching noise and EMI in SMPS freewheeling paths. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (Surface Mount Axial), molded plastic body with matte tin-plated terminals, cathode band marking, UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or switch node) in freewheeling path; must handle 30 A non-repetitive surge. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked with band; connected to higher-potential rail (e.g., input bus); sustains 70 V reverse bias with ≤0.5 mA leakage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Suppresses edge avalanche during voltage transients, enabling reliable operation in automotive load-dump and industrial inductive switching environments. |
| Low VF (0.79 V max) | Reduces conduction loss by ~40% vs. comparable silicon rectifiers, directly improving efficiency in 1A DC-DC output stages. |
| Lead-free & Halogen-free | Meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and JEDEC AEC-Q reliability standards; eliminates bromine/chlorine/antimony compounds per Diodes' "Green" definition. |
| SMA package | Enables high-density placement on 1.6 mm PCBs; compatible with standard reflow profiles including 260°C/10s soldering at terminals. |
Applications
| Polarity Protection | DC-DC Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Input protection for USB-powered IoT sensors operating from unregulated 5–12 V adapters where reverse connection must be blocked without significant voltage drop. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-blocking Schottky diode placed between input connector and LDO/regulator input. Use Value: 0.79 V VF ensures ≥4.2 V delivered to downstream circuitry at 1A, preserving headroom for low-dropout regulation. | Use Scenario: Output rectification in 5 V/1 A synchronous buck converter for industrial PLC I/O modules requiring high efficiency at light loads. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling path for inductor current during high-side FET off-time. Use Value: 80 pF capacitance minimizes ringing and EMI during fast current reversal, reducing need for snubbers. |
| AC-DC Output Rectification | Re-circulating Diode |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in compact 12 V/1 A offline flyback adapter for smart home gateways. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path converting transformer secondary AC to DC output. Use Value: 70 V VRRM safely withstands reflected primary spikes up to 60 V while maintaining low conduction loss. | Use Scenario: Inductive load suppression for 24 V solenoid drivers in HVAC control panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp path for back-EMF energy when driver FET turns off. Use Value: 30 A IFSM rating handles 20 ms inductive turn-off surges without degradation, extending system lifetime. |
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) | 70 V VRRM, 1.0 A IO, 0.5 V VF typ @ 1A - lower typical VF but higher IR (1.0 mA max). | Preferred where ultra-low conduction loss dominates over leakage-sensitive battery backup circuits. | Select SS14 only if measured VF < 0.7 V at operating current and ambient temperature is controlled ≤60°C. |
| B180-13-F | 80 V VRRM, identical IO/VF/IR specs - higher blocking voltage with no trade-off in forward performance. | Required for 48 V nominal systems subject to 60+ V transients where 70 V margin is insufficient. | Choose B180-13-F when system-level surge testing exceeds 70 V or DC bus can reach 75 V during regeneration. |
Compared with B170-13-F, SS14 offers lower typical forward drop but higher leakage, making it less suitable for always-on battery-powered nodes; B180-13-F provides direct 10 V headroom increase for 48 V systems without altering thermal or layout design.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for B170-13-F?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, with continuous operation limited to +125°C terminal temperature per the derating curve. At 1.0 A DC, the junction rises 25°C above terminal temperature due to RθJT = 25°C/W, requiring PCB thermal design to maintain terminal temperature ≤+125°C.
Is B170-13-F suitable for automotive applications?
B170-13-F is not AEC-Q200 qualified; Diodes offers the B170Q variant for automotive use. The standard B170-13-F meets JEDEC reliability standards but lacks the extended temperature screening, failure rate validation, and qualification test reports required for under-hood automotive deployment.
Can B170-13-F replace a 1N5819 in existing designs?
Yes - B170-13-F shares SMA package, 1.0 A rating, and 70 V VRRM with 1N5819, but offers lower VF (0.79 V vs. 0.9 V max) and tighter IR spec (0.5 mA vs. 1.0 mA). Layout and solder profile remain identical; verify thermal margin given improved efficiency reduces self-heating.
What is the meaning of "-13-F" in the part number?
"-13-F" denotes Diodes' standard tape-and-reel packaging: "13" indicates 8 mm carrier tape width, "F" signifies lead-free (RoHS-compliant) matte tin plating. The full ordering code B170-13-F specifies SMA package, 5,000 units per reel, and green compliance.
