Product details
Overview
B250Q-13 from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade 50 V, 2.0 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMB package, featuring 0.70 V forward voltage at 2.0 A, 50 A non-repetitive surge rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification for high-reliability power conversion in engine control units and ADAS power rails.
For engineers reviewing the B250Q-13 datasheet, B250Q-13 pinout, B250Q-13 application, or B250Q-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low VF for efficiency-critical 12 V/24 V DC-DC stages, SMB thermal resistance of 20 °C/W, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and polarity-marked cathode band for automated assembly verification.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses guard ring die construction to suppress transient-induced avalanche failure and supports high-frequency switching up to several hundred kHz in flyback and buck-derived topologies. Its low junction-to-lead thermal resistance (20 °C/W) enables direct PCB copper pour heat sinking without heatsinks in ambient temperatures up to +125°C.
The device operates with a maximum reverse leakage of 20 mA at rated 50 V and 100°C, and exhibits 200 pF total capacitance at 40 V reverse bias-critical for EMI filtering design in automotive power supplies where fast di/dt transients occur.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in 24 V automotive systems with load dump transients. |
| IO | 2.0 A - Average rectified output current at TA = +25°C; derates to ~1.2 A at +100°C per Fig. 4. |
| VF | 0.70 V @ 2.0 A - Forward voltage drop directly determines conduction loss (1.4 W at full load), critical for thermal management. |
| IFSM | 50 A - Non-repetitive peak surge current for 8.3 ms half-sine; withstands cold-crank and jump-start surges. |
| IR | 20 mA @ 50 V, +100°C - Reverse leakage sets standby power loss in always-on modules like telematics. |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables direct thermal coupling to PCB copper for passive cooling. |
| CT | 200 pF @ 40 V, 1 MHz - Capacitance impacts high-frequency noise coupling and snubber design in SMPS. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (Surface Mount Body), molded plastic case per UL 94V-0, with matte tin-plated terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208. Cathode identified by band on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to unregulated input rail (e.g., battery or boost output); must handle full IO and IFSM. |
| Cathode | Output current exit point during forward conduction | Connected to regulated output node or freewheeling path; marked with visible band for orientation verification. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Suppresses edge avalanche during voltage transients, improving robustness against ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a load dump events. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood environments including temperature cycling (-40°C to +150°C) and mechanical shock. |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Meets EU RoHS 2 and JESD201A Class 2A requirements; eliminates brominated flame retardants (<900 ppm Br). |
| High-temp solder compatibility | Rated for 260°C/10 s reflow, compatible with standard lead-free PCB assembly processes without delamination. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit Power Supply | ADAS Camera Module DC-DC Stage |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB550-E3/54 (Vishay) | Same 50 V VRRM, 2.0 A IO, but SMA package (RθJL = 25 °C/W); VF = 0.72 V @ 2 A. | Larger thermal resistance requires larger copper area; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Select only for non-automotive industrial use where qualification is not required. |
| SS25HE3/52T (Vishay) | 50 V VRRM, 2.0 A IO, SMB package, AEC-Q101 qualified; VF = 0.75 V @ 2 A; IR = 15 mA @ 100°C. | Slightly higher VF increases conduction loss by ~0.1 W; lower IR reduces standby leakage. | Prefer when lower leakage dominates over minimal VF penalty in always-on modules. |
Compared with SB550-E3/54 and SS25HE3/52T, B250Q-13 offers optimal balance of automotive qualification, SMB thermal performance, and lowest VF in its class-making it preferred for space-constrained, thermally demanding engine bay applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The B250Q-13 has an operating junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. For continuous 2.0 A operation at ambient temperatures above +85°C, thermal derating per Figure 4 applies-requiring PCB copper area ≥ 100 mm² per pad to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C with RθJL = 20 °C/W.
Is the cathode marking visible on both sides of the SMB package?
Yes-the cathode is marked by a distinct band on the top surface of the SMB package. The bottom side is unmarked, but the band aligns with the cathode terminal (pin 2) in standard SMB orientation per JEDEC MO-178, verified in Diodes' AP02002 package drawing.
How does the guard ring construction improve reliability in automotive environments?
The guard ring structure prevents premature edge breakdown during voltage transients such as ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a (load dump). It redistributes electric field stress away from the silicon periphery, increasing the device's ability to sustain 120 V transients without avalanche-induced parametric shift or failure.
Can B250Q-13 replace B250A-13 in existing designs?
Yes-B250Q-13 shares identical electrical specifications and SMB package dimensions with B250A-13, differing only in AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and automotive-specific test screening. No layout or thermal redesign is needed for drop-in replacement in automotive programs.
