Product details
Overview
B360B-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0A, 60V surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMB package, featuring 0.70V forward voltage at 3.0A, 100A non-repetitive surge rating, and 20mA peak reverse current at 100°C - used for polarity protection and free-wheeling in DC-DC converters and automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the B360B-13 datasheet, B360B-13 pinout, B360B-13 application, or B360B-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at rated current, thermal resistance (RJT = 10°C/W), reverse leakage at elevated temperature, and SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses guard ring die construction to enhance transient immunity and supports high-frequency switching up to several hundred kHz without significant switching loss penalty. Its low VF and fast recovery (<10ns) enable efficient operation in low-voltage, high-current paths where conduction loss dominates.
The device is rated for 3.0A average forward current at TT = 100°C with derating to ~1.5A at 125°C ambient, and exhibits 250pF junction capacitance at 4V reverse bias - critical for minimizing ringing in flyback snubber networks and synchronous rectifier gate drive coupling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe blocking capability in 48V automotive or 36V industrial bus applications. |
| IO | 3.0A @ TT = 100°C - continuous DC output current rating under defined thermal mounting condition (5mm² copper pad). |
| VFM | 0.70V @ IF = 3.0A - forward voltage drop directly determines conduction loss (2.1W at full load) and thermal rise. |
| IFSM | 100A (8.3ms half-sine) - surge withstand enables robustness against inrush and inductive kick in motor drivers. |
| RJT | 10°C/W - junction-to-terminal thermal resistance; enables direct heatsinking via PCB copper when mounted on ≥5mm² pad. |
| CT | 250pF @ 1MHz, 4V - junction capacitance affects high-frequency noise coupling and EMI filter design in SMPS outputs. |
| Tj | –55°C to +125°C - operational junction temperature range supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package: cathode band marked on one end; anode and cathode terminals only; no internal logic or control pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input current entry point | Connected to source side of power path (e.g., battery+, switch node); must handle full load current and surge. |
| Cathode | Output current exit point | Connected to load or ground return; polarity-sensitive marking ensures correct orientation in reverse-battery protection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Improves ESD and transient immunity without external TVS, reducing board space in automotive load-dump-prone circuits. |
| Lead-free / RoHS-compliant finish | Matte tin plating meets J-STD-020C Level 1 moisture sensitivity - eliminates pre-bake requirement for standard SMT reflow. |
| Low thermal resistance (RJT = 10°C/W) | Enables direct thermal transfer to PCB copper, supporting compact layout without discrete heatsinks in 3A applications. |
| 100A surge rating (JEDEC method) | Withstands motor stall currents and solenoid de-energization spikes in body electronics without degradation. |
Applications
| Automotive Battery Reverse Polarity Protection | DC-DC Converter Output Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Installed between vehicle battery and ECU input to block reverse connection during jump-start or service. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve preventing damage to downstream regulators and microcontrollers. Use Value: 0.70V VF limits voltage drop to <1% at 12V systems, preserving cold-crank margin while blocking >60V reverse transients. | Use Scenario: Used as secondary-side rectifier in 5V/3A buck converter powering infotainment USB ports. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-efficiency freewheeling diode replacing synchronous MOSFET where cost or layout simplicity is prioritized. Use Value: 250pF capacitance minimizes high-frequency ringing at 500kHz switching frequency, reducing conducted EMI without added snubbers. |
| Industrial PLC Input Protection | LED Driver Freewheeling Path |
Use Scenario: Protects 24V digital input channels from field-wiring errors and induced surges in factory automation cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Polarity guard and transient clamp integrated into input conditioning stage. Use Value: Guard ring structure sustains 100A surge events per JEDEC test, eliminating need for parallel TVS in DIN-rail mounted I/O modules. | Use Scenario: Provides freewheeling path for inductive current in constant-current LED driver with 36V output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-loss flyback diode enabling >92% efficiency at 3A output with minimal thermal derating. Use Value: RJT = 10°C/W allows full 3A load on standard 2oz copper without thermal vias - simplifying thermal design in space-constrained lighting housings. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB360-E3/52 (Vishay) | Same 60V/3A rating; VF = 0.72V @ 3A; RJT = 12°C/W; SMB package. | Higher thermal resistance requires larger copper area for same power dissipation. | Preferred when Vishay's qualification pedigree is required for industrial safety certifications. |
| SS36 (ON Semiconductor) | VF = 0.75V @ 3A; IFSM = 80A; RJT = 15°C/W; SMB package. | Lower surge rating and higher VF reduce margin in high-inrush motor control. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive consumer power supplies where 80A surge is sufficient. |
Compared with SB360-E3/52 and SS36, B360B-13 delivers lower forward voltage and superior thermal resistance - enabling higher sustained current in thermally constrained layouts without sacrificing surge robustness.

FAQ
What is the cathode marking convention for B360B-13?
The cathode is identified by a distinct band printed on the SMB package body, aligned with the cathode terminal. A semicircular notch may also be present on the same side as the band - both features indicate cathode polarity and must align with PCB silkscreen markings during placement.
Can B360B-13 replace B360A-13 in an existing design?
Yes, but thermal performance differs: B360B-13 (SMB) has higher RJA than B360A-13 (SMA), so PCB copper area must be increased by ~30% to maintain equivalent junction temperature at 3.0A. Layout revision is recommended before substitution.
Is B360B-13 suitable for synchronous rectification?
No - it is a passive Schottky diode, not a controlled switch. It cannot be actively gated like a MOSFET. However, its low VF and fast recovery make it a common choice where synchronous rectifier ICs or controllers are not deployed due to cost or complexity constraints.
Does B360B-13 require derating for capacitive loads?
Yes - per datasheet note, average forward current must be reduced by 20% when used with capacitive loads (e.g., bulk input filtering) to prevent excessive peak current stress during charging cycles, ensuring long-term reliability under repeated cold-start conditions.
