Diodes Incorporated B360A-13-F

Overview

B360A-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 60 V, 3.0 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMA package, featuring 0.70 V max forward voltage at 3 A and 0.5 mA max reverse leakage at rated voltage, optimized for DC-DC converters and polarity protection circuits.

For engineers reviewing the B360A-13-F datasheet, B360A-13-F pinout, B360A-13-F application, or B360A-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60 V reverse blocking rating, low VF at high temperature, AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, and thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient on glass epoxy).

Technical Context

This Schottky rectifier uses guard ring die construction to suppress transient-induced failure, enabling reliable operation in high-frequency switching environments. Its low forward voltage drop minimizes conduction loss, while its 80 A non-repetitive surge rating supports robust start-up and fault conditions.

The device operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and exhibits 200 pF typical junction capacitance at 4 V reverse bias and 1 MHz - critical for minimizing switching noise in high-speed power stages.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?

The B360A-13-F supports continuous operation up to +150 °C junction temperature, with derated average current beginning at +100 °C per Figure 6. At +125 °C ambient with proper PCB copper area, it maintains full 3.0 A rating only if thermal resistance remains ≤33 °C/W - achievable using ≥2 cm² 2-oz copper pour.

Is B360A-13-F suitable for synchronous rectification?

No - B360A-13-F is a passive Schottky rectifier, not a MOSFET-based synchronous rectifier controller or driver. It lacks gate drive interface or timing logic. For synchronous designs, pairing with an external MOSFET and controller (e.g., APW7159) is required; this diode serves only as a freewheeling or OR-ing element.

Does the "-13-F" suffix indicate tape-and-reel packaging?

Yes - the "-13-F" suffix denotes 5,000-piece tape-and-reel packaging in SMA format, with lead-free matte-tin plating and RoHS compliance. The "-13" refers to Diodes Incorporated's standard reel size code; "F" confirms green, halogen-free construction per their internal specifications.

How does its reverse leakage compare at elevated temperatures?

At +100 °C and rated 60 V reverse voltage, IR rises to 20 mA (per datasheet Note 9), which is 40× higher than the 0.5 mA max at +25 °C. This must be accounted for in low-power standby modes - e.g., in always-on USB-C ports, leakage may contribute >1 mW of quiescent loss at high ambient.
