Product details
Overview
B170Q-13-F 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 0.5 mA max reverse leakage at rated VR, designed for polarity protection, DC-DC converter freewheeling, and automotive-grade power conversion circuits.
For engineers reviewing the B170Q-13-F datasheet, B170Q-13-F pinout, B170Q-13-F application, or B170Q-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 30 A non-repetitive surge rating, 25 °C/W junction-to-terminal thermal resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly under +260°C/10s reflow profiles.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses guard ring die construction to enhance transient immunity and supports high-frequency switching in low-voltage-drop applications. Its 80 pF typical capacitance at 4 V reverse bias and 0.69 V typical VF at 100°C enable stable operation in DC-DC flyback and buck converters.
The device operates across –65°C to +150°C, with thermal derating beginning above +125°C terminal temperature and full-rated 1.0 A average forward current maintained only when TT ≤ +125°C per Fig. 3 of DS38613 Rev. 3-2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 70 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for blocking capability in DC-DC input stages |
| IO (AV) | 1.0 A @ TT = +125°C - Continuous forward current rating under thermal-limited conditions; defines usable output current in compact layouts |
| VF max | 0.79 V @ IF = 1.0 A, TA = +25°C - Peak forward drop determining conduction loss and thermal rise in high-efficiency designs |
| IR max | 0.5 mA @ VR = 70 V, TA = +25°C - Reverse leakage limiting standby power loss in battery-backed or always-on systems |
| IFSM | 30 A @ 8.3 ms half-sine - Surge withstand capacity for inrush and fault transients without bond-wire fusing |
| RθJT | 25 °C/W - Junction-to-terminal thermal resistance; enables direct heatsinking via PCB copper pad without external heatsink |
| CT | 80 pF @ VR = 4 V, f = 1 MHz - Junction capacitance affecting high-frequency switching noise and EMI filter design |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated terminals, cathode band marking, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., switch node in buck converter); requires low-inductance trace routing |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked by band; ties to higher-potential rail (e.g., output capacitor positive); determines reverse voltage stress |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Improves ESD and transient robustness without requiring external TVS in 12 V automotive load-dump environments |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates reliability for under-hood automotive use including engine control units and body electronics |
| +260°C/10s solder tolerance | Enables compatibility with standard lead-free reflow profiles without delamination or plating degradation |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" compound | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 requirements with <900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb |
Applications
| Polarity Protection | DC-DC Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Reverse-battery connection protection in 12 V automotive infotainment modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Blocking diode placed between input connector and main power rail. Use Value: Prevents damage during service installation with 0.79 V drop minimizing voltage loss at 1.0 A load. | Use Scenario: Flyback path in synchronous buck converter for ADAS camera power supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode clamping inductor current during high-side FET off-time. Use Value: 80 pF capacitance and low VF reduce switching losses and EMI generation at 500 kHz operation. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional isolation element preventing cross-battery discharge. Use Value: 0.5 mA IR max at +25°C ensures <6 µW standby loss per diode, critical for long-term parking modes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB170-E3/54 (Vishay) | Same 70 V VRRM, 1.0 A IO, but VF = 0.85 V max; SMA package with different marking layout | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; limited to industrial/commercial use | Select if automotive qualification is not required and higher VF is acceptable |
| SS17 (ON Semiconductor) | 70 V VRRM, 1.0 A IO, VF = 0.75 V typ at 1.0 A, but IR = 1.0 mA max at 25°C | Lacks AEC-Q101 certification and guard ring construction | Prefer where lower forward drop is prioritized over transient robustness and automotive compliance |
Compared with SB170-E3/54 and SS17, B170Q-13-F delivers verified automotive reliability, tighter IR control, and integrated transient hardening-making it the sole choice for safety-critical 12 V systems requiring PPAP documentation and IATF 16949 traceability.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation?
The B170Q-13-F has an operating temperature range of –65°C to +150°C, but its 1.0 A average forward current rating is only guaranteed up to +125°C terminal temperature. Exceeding this requires derating per Fig. 3 in DS38613, where current drops linearly to zero at +150°C.
Is the cathode band orientation consistent across all SMA-packaged Diodes Inc. rectifiers?
Yes-the cathode band on B170Q-13-F is located at the same end as the marking code (B170) and aligns with industry-standard SMA polarity convention. The band marks the cathode terminal, which must connect toward the higher-potential node in forward-biased operation.
Does the "-13-F" suffix indicate tape-and-reel packaging and lead-free finish?
Yes: "-13" denotes 5,000-piece tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard, and "-F" confirms lead-free (matte tin) plating compliant with RoHS 2011/65/EU and halogen-free definitions per Diodes Inc.'s Green policy.
Can B170Q-13-F replace B180Q-13-F in a 12 V system with 16 V load dump?
No-B170Q-13-F has 70 V VRRM, insufficient for 16 V load dump (which generates ≥35 V transients). B180Q-13-F (80 V VRRM) or higher-rated variants are required to maintain margin above worst-case reverse stress in automotive ISO 7637-2 compliant designs.
