Product details
Overview
SB140-T from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0A, 40V Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-41 package, featuring 0.50V forward voltage at 1.0A, 40A non-repetitive surge capability, and guard ring die construction for transient protection-used in low-voltage DC/DC converter output rectification and polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SB140-T datasheet, SB140-T pinout, SB140-T application, or SB140-T equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at rated current, peak repetitive reverse voltage rating, thermal resistance (RθJL = 15°C/W), surge robustness (40A IFSM), and RoHS-compliant tin-plated leads for lead-free assembly.
Technical Context
This discrete Schottky diode operates as a unidirectional power rectifier with metal-semiconductor junction architecture, enabling low VF and fast switching without minority-carrier storage delay. Its guard ring die structure enhances ruggedness against voltage transients in inductive load commutation.
Rated for continuous operation from –65°C to +125°C, it delivers stable performance under high-frequency switching conditions (e.g., 100 kHz+ DC/DC converters) where low conduction loss and minimal reverse recovery charge are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in polarity protection and freewheeling paths. |
| IO | 1.0 A - Average rectified output current at TL = 75°C; determines continuous power handling in linear derating applications. |
| VFM | 0.50 V @ 1.0A - Forward voltage drop; directly reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency in low-voltage (<5V) power rails. |
| IFSM | 40 A - Non-repetitive peak forward surge current (8.3ms half-sine); supports inrush and fault-current tolerance in motor drives and adapters. |
| RθJL | 15 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables direct heatsinking via PCB copper pour or lead frame for thermal management. |
| IRM | 0.5 mA @ 25°C - Peak reverse leakage at rated VRRM; low leakage preserves battery life in always-on backup power paths. |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 molded plastic package with axial leads; cathode identified by band marking; body diameter 2.00–2.72 mm, length 4.06–5.21 mm, weight ≈0.3 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., switch node or ground return) in freewheeling or reverse polarity protection configurations. |
| Cathode | Current exit point during forward conduction; marked with band | Connected to higher-potential rail (e.g., input supply or output capacitor positive) to enforce unidirectional current flow. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schottky barrier construction | Enables 0.50V VF at 1.0A-reducing power loss by ~40% vs. comparable PN-junction rectifiers in 3.3V/5V outputs. |
| Guard ring die design | Improves transient voltage immunity-critical for reliability in automotive load-dump or inductive kickback environments. |
| 40A surge rating (JEDEC) | Withstands short-duration overcurrent events without degradation-supports robustness in motor control flyback paths. |
| RoHS-compliant bright tin plating | Ensures solderability per MIL-STD-202 Method 208 and compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles (peak ≤260°C). |
Applications
| DC/DC Converter Output Rectification | Polarity Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used on secondary side of isolated buck-boost or flyback converters delivering 3.3V/5V to microcontrollers and sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional power rectifier replacing PN diodes to minimize conduction loss and improve efficiency. Use Value: 0.50V VF reduces power dissipation by >0.5W vs. 1N5819 at 1A, lowering thermal stress on compact PCBs. | Use Scenario: Placed in series with power input to prevent damage from reversed battery or adapter connections. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse polarity blocking element with low forward drop to preserve system voltage headroom. Use Value: 40V VRRM and 0.50V VF allow use in 24V industrial inputs while maintaining ≥23.5V net supply under full load. |
| Freewheeling Diode | Low-Voltage Inverter Output Stage |
Use Scenario: Connected across relay coils, solenoids, or brushed DC motors to clamp inductive kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Energy recirculation path during switch-off; requires fast response and high surge tolerance. Use Value: 40A IFSM rating handles repetitive 20–30A spikes from 24V/1A actuators without thermal runaway. | Use Scenario: Output stage of 12V-to-AC inverters for LED signage or small appliances. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-frequency rectifier in push-pull or half-bridge output filtering. Use Value: Schottky architecture eliminates reverse recovery time, preventing shoot-through losses at 20–50 kHz switching frequencies. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB140-E3/54 (Vishay) | Same DO-41 package, identical 40V/1A ratings, but VF = 0.55V @ 1A (slightly higher conduction loss). | Approved for automotive PPAP; suitable where AEC-Q101 qualification is required. | Select when automotive change control and certified manufacturing traceability are mandatory. |
| 1N5819TR (ON Semiconductor) | 40V/1A rating, but VF = 0.60V @ 1A and IFSM = 25A-lower surge margin and higher loss. | Legacy industrial stock; lacks guard ring structure and has higher RθJA (60°C/W). | Acceptable for cost-sensitive, non-surge-intensive applications where thermal headroom exists. |
Compared with SB140-E3/54 and 1N5819TR, SB140-T offers the lowest forward voltage (0.50V), highest surge rating (40A), and integrated guard ring-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency, and transient-prone designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for SB140-T?
The SB140-T is rated for an operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +125°C. This specification is validated per JEDEC test conditions and reflects sustained operation under rated current and thermal management via lead conduction (RθJL = 15°C/W). Exceeding +125°C risks irreversible parametric shift and premature failure.
Is SB140-T suitable for automotive applications?
SB140-T is not AEC-Q101 qualified and is not recommended for automotive safety-critical systems. While it meets RoHS and operates across –65°C to +125°C, Diodes Incorporated explicitly states that automotive-grade parts require PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing-available only in designated automotive variants (e.g., SB140Q).
How does SB140-T differ from SB140-B?
SB140-T and SB140-B share identical electrical specifications and DO-41 packaging, differing only in packaging format: SB140-T is supplied in 5,000-piece tape-and-reel (13-inch reel), optimized for automated SMT placement; SB140-B is supplied in 1,000-piece bulk packaging for manual or semi-automated assembly.
Can SB140-T replace 1N5819 in existing designs?
Yes-SB140-T is a direct functional replacement for 1N5819 with identical DO-41 footprint and 40V/1A ratings, but offers lower VF (0.50V vs. 0.60V), higher IFSM (40A vs. 25A), and guard ring protection. No layout changes are needed, though thermal performance and efficiency will improve.
