Product details
Overview
B250A-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.0A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMA package, rated for 50V peak repetitive reverse voltage and 0.70V forward voltage at 2.0A, optimized for low-voltage, high-frequency inverters, free-wheeling, and polarity protection circuits in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the B250A-13-F datasheet, B250A-13-F pinout, B250A-13-F application, or B250A-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50V VRRM rating, 50A non-repetitive surge capability, 25°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode employs guard ring die construction to enhance transient protection and withstand repetitive surge events up to 50A (8.3ms half-sine). Its low forward voltage drop minimizes conduction losses in DC-DC converters and switching regulators operating below 50V.
The device operates across –65°C to +150°C and features a cathode band polarity indicator. Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 25°C/W (SMA), enabling stable operation under continuous 2.0A load with appropriate PCB copper area per AP02001 layout guidelines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum peak reverse voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for blocking capability in 48V systems |
| IF(AV) | 2.0 A - Continuous average forward current; defines steady-state power handling with proper thermal management |
| VF @ 2.0A | 0.70 V - Forward voltage drop at rated current; directly determines conduction loss (1.4W at 2A) |
| IFSM | 50 A - Non-repetitive surge rating; supports inrush and fault-current tolerance in motor drives and SMPS |
| RθJL | 25 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance (SMA); enables thermal design using lead solder joint as primary heat path |
| IR @ 50V | 0.5 mA - Reverse leakage at rated VR and 25°C; impacts standby power in battery-backed circuits |
| TJ Range | –65°C to +150°C - Operating junction temperature range; validated for under-hood automotive environments |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB250-E3/54 (Vishay) | Same 50V VRRM, 2A IF, but SMB package (RθJL = 20°C/W); VF = 0.72V @ 2A | Slightly better thermal performance in SMB, but larger footprint than SMA | Select when board space permits larger package and lower thermal resistance is prioritized |
| SS25HE3/57T (Vishay) | 50V VRRM, 2A IF, SMA package, VF = 0.75V @ 2A, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable only for commercial-grade applications | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer designs where AEC-Q101 is not required |
Compared with SB250-E3/54 and SS25HE3/57T, B250A-13-F uniquely combines SMA footprint, AEC-Q101 qualification, and 25°C/W thermal resistance-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive modules requiring production traceability and extended temperature operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation of B250A-13-F?
The B250A-13-F is rated for continuous operation from –65°C to +150°C junction temperature. At 2.0A average forward current, sustained operation at +150°C requires strict adherence to the derating curve in Figure 4 and minimum pad layout per AP02001 to maintain thermal equilibrium.
Is B250A-13-F suitable for use in synchronous rectification topologies?
No-B250A-13-F is a passive Schottky rectifier, not a synchronous MOSFET controller or driver. It functions as a unidirectional freewheeling or OR-ing diode, but lacks gate drive capability or timing control required for active synchronous rectification.
Does B250A-13-F have a specified reverse recovery time (trr)?
No-Schottky barrier diodes like B250A-13-F are majority-carrier devices with no minority-carrier storage; therefore, trr is not specified. Their intrinsic fast switching arises from absence of reverse recovery charge, making them ideal for high-frequency (>100kHz) applications without snubbers.
Can B250A-13-F replace B240A-13-F in an existing design?
Yes-with caution: B250A-13-F has higher VRRM (50V vs. 40V) and slightly higher VF (0.70V vs. 0.50V at 2A), so it's electrically safe in all B240A-13-F applications but may increase conduction loss by ~0.4W. Thermal validation is recommended if operating near thermal limits.
