Product details
Overview
BABS260 from Diodes Incorporated is a Schottky surface-mount bridge rectifier configured as a single-phase full-wave rectifier with 60 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 2.0 A average forward current (I(AV)) at TC = 110°C, and 50 A non-repetitive surge capability (IFSM). It serves as an AC-to-DC conversion stage in compact, high-efficiency power supplies for energy-saving lamps and mobile battery chargers.
For engineers reviewing the BABS260 datasheet, BABS260 pinout, BABS260 application, or BABS260 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, low VF (0.59 V typ. @ 1.0 A, 25°C), 125 pF junction capacitance, RoHS-compliant "Green" molding compound, and ABS package thermal resistance (RthJC = 14 °C/W).
Technical Context
The BABS260 integrates four Schottky diodes in a single-phase bridge configuration, enabling full-wave rectification without external interconnects. Its low forward voltage drop and fast switching characteristics stem from Schottky barrier technology, minimizing conduction losses and eliminating minority-carrier storage delay.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR-4 PCBs, it operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1. Thermal performance is characterized with a 5 mm × 7 mm copper pad on 1 oz/ft² glass-epoxy substrate.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe AC input voltage headroom before breakdown. |
| I(AV) | 2.0 A @ TC = 110°C - Continuous DC output current capability under specified thermal conditions. |
| VF | 0.59 V typ. @ IF = 1.0 A, TJ = 25°C - Low conduction loss enables higher efficiency in low-voltage, high-current outputs. |
| IFSM | 50 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Withstands inrush surges during cold-start of capacitive-input rectifiers. |
| CJ | 125 pF @ VR = 4.0 V, f = 1 MHz - Limits high-frequency noise coupling and EMI in switch-mode front-ends. |
| RthJC | 14 °C/W - Enables direct thermal path from junction to case; supports heatsinking via PCB copper area. |
| IR | 0.7 µA max. @ VR = 60 V, TJ = 25°C - Low leakage preserves efficiency in standby and light-load operation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU6K | Higher VRRM (600 V), higher I(AV) (6 A), larger GBU package, silicon PN junction (not Schottky), VF ≈ 1.1 V. | Used in higher-voltage industrial SMPS where reverse voltage margin >100 V is required; unsuitable for low-VF, high-efficiency designs. | Select only when higher reverse voltage rating and ruggedness outweigh efficiency loss from higher VF. |
| MB2S | Lower I(AV) (0.5 A), smaller MBS package, same ABS footprint-compatible pinout, Schottky, VF ≈ 0.55 V @ 0.5 A. | Targeted at ultra-compact, low-power applications like IoT sensor hubs or wearables; insufficient for 2 A continuous loads. | Choose for space-constrained designs with ≤0.5 A output requirements and strict size constraints. |
Compared with GBU6K and MB2S, BABS260 uniquely balances 60 V VRRM, 2.0 A I(AV), Schottky low VF, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained, automotive-adjacent power supplies where efficiency and reliability are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The BABS260 supports continuous operation up to TC = 110°C, as defined by its 2.0 A average forward current rating. Exceeding this temperature requires derating per Figure 1 in DS44001; at TC = 125°C, I(AV) drops to approximately 1.7 A. Thermal design must maintain case temperature within this limit using adequate PCB copper area or optional heatsinking.
Is BABS260 suitable for use in automotive infotainment power supplies?
Yes-BABS260 is AEC-Q101 Rev_C qualified and rated for –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, making it suitable for under-dash infotainment power supplies. Its low VF and Schottky construction reduce heat generation in thermally restricted enclosures, and its halogen-free "Green" package complies with automotive material restrictions.
Can BABS260 be used in place of a discrete 4-diode Schottky bridge?
Yes-BABS260 integrates four matched Schottky diodes in a single ABS package with standardized AC1/AC2/+/- terminals, eliminating layout complexity, parasitic inductance, and solder joint count associated with discrete bridges. Its thermal coupling improves current sharing and reliability versus discrete solutions.
Does BABS260 require special handling during reflow soldering?
No-BABS260 is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and does not require dry-pack or baking prior to reflow. Standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C) are supported. Its ABS package remains dimensionally stable and mechanically robust through multiple thermal cycles, provided board-level thermal relief is designed per datasheet recommendations.
