Product details
Overview
B220AF-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 20 V, 2 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMAF package, featuring 0.50 V max forward voltage at 2 A and 0.10 mA max reverse leakage at 20 V/25°C, optimized for boost, blocking, and recirculating diode roles in DC-DC converters and power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the B220AF-13 datasheet, B220AF-13 pinout, B220AF-13 application, or B220AF-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include low VF for efficiency, high-temperature IR stability, RoHS-compliant lead-free construction, and SMAF thermal performance in space-constrained power stages.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses a planar metal-semiconductor junction to achieve low forward conduction loss and fast switching with no minority-carrier storage delay. Its 20 V VRRM rating targets low-voltage DC-DC output rectification where reverse recovery time is irrelevant but forward drop and thermal leakage are critical.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C with RθJA = 90°C/W on FR-4 PCBs, and exhibits stable 0.01 mA IR at 20 V/25°C rising to 0.10 mA at 20 V/125°C - enabling reliable operation in thermally demanding environments without thermal runaway.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 20 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating limit in 12 V–15 V output rails. |
| IO (AV) | 2 A - Average forward current rating; supports continuous 2 A load in standard PCB layouts with derating above 75°C ambient. |
| VF (max) | 0.50 V @ 2 A, 25°C - Low conduction loss enables >95% efficiency in 5 V–12 V buck/boost stages. |
| IR (max) | 0.10 mA @ 20 V, 25°C - Minimal leakage preserves standby power budget and avoids thermal instability at elevated temperatures. |
| RθJA | 90 °C/W - Thermal resistance defines junction temperature rise under 2 A load; requires ≥0.2"×0.25" copper pad for rated current. |
| Junction Cap. | 93 pF @ 4 V, 1 MHz - Low capacitance minimizes switching node ringing and EMI in high-frequency (>500 kHz) converters. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMAF (Surface-Mount Axial Flat), molded plastic case with matte tin–annealed copper leadframe, cathode band marking, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to input/source side of rectifier; must handle full 2 A RMS current and associated I²R heating. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked by band; connects to output/load; sustains 20 V reverse bias with <0.1 mA leakage at room temperature. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VF (0.50 V max @ 2 A) | Reduces conduction loss by ~40% vs. standard PN rectifiers, directly improving converter efficiency and reducing heatsink requirements. |
| Stable high-temp IR | 0.10 mA @ 25°C rising only to 0.16 mA @ 125°C (extrapolated), preventing thermal runaway in sealed or high-ambient enclosures. |
| Lead-free & Halogen-free | Meets RoHS 2 and JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1; eliminates toxic elements while maintaining solderability and long-term reliability. |
| SMAF footprint compatibility | Standardized 2.25–2.95 mm D dimension allows direct replacement of SMA/SMB devices with improved thermal resistance over SMA. |
Applications
| DC-DC Boost Converter Output Stage | USB Power Delivery Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying switched output in 5 V–12 V boost converters powering industrial sensors or IoT nodes. IC Role / Device Role: Output rectifier handling 2 A pulsed current with minimal forward loss and fast turn-off. Use Value: 0.50 V VF reduces power loss to ≤1 W at 2 A, lowering thermal stress and enabling compact PCB layout without forced air cooling. | Use Scenario: Reverse-polarity and backfeed protection at USB-C PD input ports in portable medical monitors. IC Role / Device Role: Blocking diode preventing battery discharge into upstream source during fault conditions. Use Value: 0.10 mA IR at 20 V ensures <2 µW standby leakage, preserving battery life over multi-week idle periods. |
| Automotive LED Driver Recirculation Path | Industrial PLC Digital Input Clamp |
Use Scenario: Freewheeling path for inductive current in 12 V automotive LED drivers during PWM dimming cycles. IC Role / Device Role: Recirculating diode providing low-loss return path for coil energy during switch-off. Use Value: 93 pF junction capacitance limits voltage overshoot and EMI generation during 100 kHz+ PWM transitions. | Use Scenario: Input protection clamp on 24 V digital input channels in programmable logic controllers exposed to field wiring transients. IC Role / Device Role: Blocking diode isolating input circuitry from reverse-connected field wiring or induced surges. Use Value: –55°C to +150°C operating range ensures functionality across engine bay or factory floor temperature extremes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS22 (Microchip) | Same 20 V/2 A rating, VF = 0.55 V max @ 2 A, RθJA = 100°C/W, SMA package | Higher VF increases conduction loss by ~100 mW at 2 A; slightly larger thermal footprint required | Select when legacy SMA board space is fixed and 0.05 V VF penalty is acceptable |
| SB220 (ON Semiconductor) | 20 V/2 A, VF = 0.52 V max @ 2 A, IR = 0.15 mA @ 20 V/25°C, SMA package | 0.05 mA higher IR may impact ultra-low-power standby designs at elevated ambient temperatures | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer applications where 0.15 mA IR is within system leakage budget |
Compared with SS22 and SB220, B220AF-13 delivers the lowest VF (0.50 V) and tightest IR (0.10 mA), making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-efficiency 2 A rectification where junction temperature control and standby power are design-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The B220AF-13 is rated for continuous operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature. At 2 A average current on a standard FR-4 PCB with 0.2" × 0.25" copper pad, junction temperature rise is approximately 180°C above ambient - so ambient must be limited to ≤–30°C for full-rated current. Derating per Figure 4 is mandatory above 75°C ambient.
Is B220AF-13 suitable for synchronous rectification?
No - B220AF-13 is a passive Schottky rectifier, not a MOSFET-based synchronous rectifier controller or driver. It lacks gate drive capability and cannot replace active synchronous rectification ICs. It functions only as a unidirectional, self-commutating rectifying element in flyback, boost, or buck-derived topologies.
Does the SMAF package require special reflow profile considerations?
Yes - the SMAF package has moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020, so baking is not required, but peak reflow temperature must not exceed 260°C for ≤10 seconds. The small 0.036 g mass and thin mold compound demand precise thermal profiling to avoid delamination or solder joint voiding, especially with lead-free SAC305 paste.
How does reverse leakage change at elevated temperature?
At 20 V reverse bias, IR rises from 0.01 mA at 25°C to 0.10 mA at 125°C (per datasheet Table "Leakage Current"). This 10× increase remains well below thermal runaway thresholds due to the Schottky barrier's intrinsic low activation energy, enabling stable operation up to 150°C junction temperature without positive feedback.
