Product details
Overview
B270-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.0A, 70V Schottky barrier rectifier in SMB package, featuring low forward voltage (0.79 V @ 2.0 A, 25°C), 50 A non-repetitive surge rating, and 15 °C/W junction-to-terminal thermal resistance. It is used for polarity protection and free-wheeling in DC-DC converters and low-voltage AC/DC adapters.
For engineers reviewing the B270-13 datasheet, B270-13 pinout, B270-13 application, or B270-13 equivalent, key selection factors include forward voltage drop at rated current, thermal resistance under PCB-mount conduction cooling, surge robustness in inductive switching, and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating compatibility with automated reflow.
Technical Context
This discrete Schottky diode uses guard ring die construction to enhance transient immunity and reduce leakage under reverse bias. Its low VF and fast recovery enable high-efficiency operation in 100 kHz–1 MHz switching power supplies without snubbers.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR-4 PCBs, it relies on terminal-to-PCB copper area for thermal dissipation-junction temperature must stay ≤125°C at 2.0 A average current per derating curve. Cathode band marking defines polarity for unidirectional current flow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 70 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating limit in 48 V bus polarity protection |
| IO @ TT=125°C | 2.0 A - Continuous average forward current with terminal temperature held at 125°C; requires ≥1 cm² 2-oz copper pad |
| VFM @ 2.0 A, 25°C | 0.79 V - Forward voltage drop defining conduction loss; contributes ~1.6 W dissipation at full load |
| IFSM (8.3 ms) | 50 A - Surge withstand capability during motor startup or output short-circuit events |
| RJT | 15 °C/W - Junction-to-terminal thermal resistance; enables direct thermal modeling from terminal temp to junction |
| CT @ 1 MHz, 4 V | 75 pF - Junction capacitance affecting high-frequency noise coupling and EMI filter design |
| IRM @ 25°C | 0.5 mA - Reverse leakage at rated blocking voltage; impacts standby power in always-on circuits |
Pinout & Package
SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package: molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), cathode band marking, solderable matte tin terminals. Dimensions: 3.30–3.94 mm (L) × 4.06–4.57 mm (W) × 1.96–2.21 mm (H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path) in rectification or freewheeling |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking node | Marked with band; connects to positive rail or switch node; blocks reverse current up to 70 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Improves surge immunity and reduces parameter drift under transient stress (e.g., load dump) |
| Low VF at high current | 0.79 V @ 2.0 A minimizes I²R losses in compact 5–12 V DC-DC outputs |
| High surge rating | 50 A peak allows use in flyback snubberless designs without external TVS |
| RoHS-compliant finish | Matte tin plating supports Pb-free reflow (260°C/10 s) and eliminates post-solder cleaning |
| Thermal performance | 15 °C/W RJT enables accurate junction temp estimation using measured terminal temperature |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Automotive Body Control Module Power Input |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB270-E3/52 (Vishay) | Same SMB package, 70 V VRRM, but VF = 0.85 V @ 2 A and RJT = 18 °C/W | Higher conduction loss and reduced thermal margin in high-density layouts | Prefer B270-13 where board space limits copper area or ambient exceeds 60°C |
| SS27 (ON Semiconductor) | SMB package, 70 V VRRM, VF = 0.75 V @ 2 A, but IFSM = 40 A and IRM = 1.0 mA @ 25°C | Lower VF improves efficiency, but reduced surge rating limits use in motor-driven loads | Choose SS27 only when surge events are absent and lowest possible VF is critical |
Compared with SB270-E3/52 and SS27, B270-13 delivers optimal balance of low VF (0.79 V), high surge (50 A), and thermal resistance (15 °C/W), making it preferred for space-constrained industrial power supplies with mixed load profiles.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper area for thermal management of B270-13?
B270-13 requires ≥1 cm² of 2-ounce copper connected directly to both terminals for full 2.0 A current rating at 125°C terminal temperature. Smaller pads reduce current capacity per Fig. 1 derating curve-e.g., 0.5 cm² limits continuous current to ~1.4 A at 25°C ambient.
Is B270-13 suitable for synchronous rectification replacement in 300 kHz SMPS?
Yes-its 75 pF junction capacitance and <10 ns reverse recovery support 300 kHz operation without excessive ringing. However, unlike MOSFET-based synchronous rectifiers, it lacks gate control and cannot achieve zero-voltage switching; best suited where simplicity and cost outweigh peak efficiency gains.
Does B270-13 meet AEC-Q101 for automotive use?
No-B270-13 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While widely used in automotive body electronics, its qualification covers JESD22-A108 reliability testing only. For AEC-Q101-compliant alternatives, consider Diodes' APx70 series Schottky rectifiers with full automotive qualification documentation.
How does the guard ring construction improve transient performance?
The guard ring reduces electric field crowding at the silicon edge, raising the effective breakdown voltage during fast transients like ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. This suppresses localized avalanche and prevents parametric shift or catastrophic failure under 50 A surge conditions, confirmed by JEDEC-tested IFSM validation.
