Product details
Overview
B170AE-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 70 V, 1.0 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMA package, featuring 0.79 V max forward voltage at 1.0 A and 0.2 mA max reverse leakage at 25°C, optimized for polarity protection and DC-DC converter freewheeling paths in compact power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the B170AE-13 datasheet, B170AE-13 pinout, B170AE-13 application, or B170AE-13 equivalent, this device is selected for low-loss, high-frequency rectification where thermal resistance (RθJA = 110°C/W) and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating are critical to board-level reliability and automated assembly yield.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses guard ring die construction to suppress transient-induced junction breakdown, enabling robust operation under repetitive surge conditions (IFSM = 30 A, 8.3 ms half-sine). Its low forward voltage drop directly reduces conduction loss in high-efficiency 12 V–48 V input DC-DC stages.
The device exhibits 27 pF typical junction capacitance at 4 V reverse bias and 1 MHz, supporting fast switching in flyback snubbers and synchronous rectifier auxiliary paths. Thermal performance is defined for FR-4 PCB mounting with 0.2" × 0.25" copper pad per JEDEC standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 70 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating limit in 48 V bus blocking applications. |
| IO | 1.0 A - Average rectified current rating at +25°C ambient; derated to ~0.6 A at +100°C per Figure 4. |
| VF Max | 0.79 V @ 1.0 A, +25°C - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in 5 V output buck converters. |
| IR Max | 0.2 mA @ 70 V, +25°C - Minimal leakage preserves battery runtime in always-on polarity protection circuits. |
| RθJA | 110 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR-4; dictates minimum copper area needed for thermal management. |
| CT | 27 pF @ 4 V, 1 MHz - Low junction capacitance minimizes switching loss and EMI in >100 kHz DC-DC topologies. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated terminals, cathode band marking, UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or switch node) in freewheeling path. |
| Cathode | Current exit point during forward conduction; marked with band | Connected to higher-potential rail (e.g., input bus) for polarity protection or output rectification. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Suppresses edge breakdown under voltage transients, extending surge survivability beyond IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3. |
| Low VF / high IO ratio | Enables 1.0 A continuous current handling with <0.8 V drop-critical for thermally constrained IoT power modules. |
| Lead-free, halogen-free "Green" finish | Meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1 for reflow compatibility. |
| SMA package footprint | 0.4" × 0.5" PCB area requirement supports high-density layout in space-constrained AC-DC adapters. |
Applications
| Polarity Protection | DC-DC Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Reverse-voltage protection on 12 V input rail of industrial sensor node powered by external supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Blocking diode placed between connector and LDO input to prevent damage from miswired power cables. Use Value: 0.2 mA leakage ensures <2.4 µW standby loss; 70 V rating covers 12 V ±10% with margin for load dump spikes. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path in 300 kHz synchronous buck converter delivering 3.3 V @ 800 mA to microcontroller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Schottky rectifier conducting during low-side FET off-time to maintain inductor current continuity. Use Value: 0.79 V VF limits conduction loss to 632 mW peak, reducing thermal stress vs. silicon diode alternatives. |
| AC-DC Output Rectification | Re-Circulating Diode |

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 typ VF at 1 A - lower typical forward voltage but higher leakage (0.5 mA @ 70 V). | Better efficiency at light loads; less suitable for battery-critical leakage-sensitive designs. | Prefer SS14 when minimizing no-load power loss is primary; retain B170AE-13 when leakage budget is tight. |
| B170AF-13 | Same electrical specs but SMB package - 75°C/W RθJA vs. 110°C/W, 0.093 g weight vs. 0.063 g. | Higher thermal performance and mechanical robustness; requires larger PCB footprint. | Choose B170AF-13 for higher ambient temperature environments (>85°C) or mechanically stressed layouts. |
Compared with SS14 and B170AF-13, B170AE-13 offers the best balance of ultra-low leakage, standardized SMA footprint, and cost-effective manufacturability for mid-volume consumer power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation of B170AE-13?
The B170AE-13 has an operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. For reliable long-term operation, junction temperature must remain ≤150°C under worst-case ambient and power dissipation conditions. Derating curves in Figure 4 show usable IO drops to ~0.6 A at +100°C ambient on standard FR-4.
Is B170AE-13 suitable for use in automotive infotainment power supplies?
Yes - B170AE-13 meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for passive components when qualified per Diodes' automotive-grade variants (e.g., B170AEQ-13). Standard B170AE-13 is widely used in non-safety-critical infotainment DC-DC stages where its 70 V rating and 0.2 mA leakage support 12 V system robustness.
How does the SMA package of B170AE-13 compare thermally to SMB alternatives?
B170AE-13 in SMA has RθJA = 110°C/W versus 75°C/W for SMB-packaged B170BE-13. This means the SMA version heats up ~47% more for the same power dissipation. Layout with ≥0.2" × 0.25" copper pad is essential to meet thermal targets in sustained 1 A operation.
Can B170AE-13 replace a 1N5819 in existing designs?
Yes - B170AE-13 is a direct surface-mount replacement for through-hole 1N5819 (same 70 V/1 A rating), offering identical electrical behavior with improved thermal performance on modern PCBs. The SMA footprint requires pad redesign, but eliminates manual insertion and improves reflow yield.
