Product details
Overview
SB180-T from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0A, 80V peak repetitive reverse voltage Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-41 package, featuring 0.80V forward voltage at 1.0A, 25A non-repetitive surge capability, and 15K/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance-used in low-voltage DC/DC converter output stages for polarity protection and freewheeling.
For engineers reviewing the SB180-T datasheet, SB180-T pinout, SB180-T application, or SB180-T equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at rated current, thermal resistance under lead-mounted conditions, surge rating for inductive load switching, and RoHS-compliant tin-plated leads suitable for automated SMT reflow (tape-and-reel format).
Technical Context
This discrete Schottky diode employs guard ring die construction to enhance transient immunity and suppress leakage during high dv/dt events. Its low forward voltage minimizes conduction loss in 3.3V–12V output rails, while the 80V VRRM rating supports 48V input systems with margin.
The device operates across –65°C to +125°C, with thermal performance validated under JEDEC-defined lead temperature constraints (9.5mm from case). Junction capacitance of 80pF at 4V reverse bias enables stable behavior in high-frequency (>100kHz) switching topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 80 V - Maximum reverse blocking voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for system bus voltage derating. |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A @ TT = 85°C - Continuous average forward current under specified thermal mounting condition. |
| VFM | 0.80 V @ IF = 1.0A, TA = 25°C - Directly determines power loss (0.8W) and heat generation in steady-state operation. |
| IFSM | 25 A (8.3ms half-sine) - Withstands motor startup or capacitor inrush surges without failure. |
| RJL | 15 K/W - Enables efficient heat transfer from junction to PCB pad via lead termination; critical for thermal design. |
| IRM | 0.5 mA @ 25°C, 10 mA @ 100°C - Low leakage preserves efficiency in standby and high-temp environments. |
| Cj | 80 pF @ VR = 4V, f = 1MHz - Limits high-frequency switching noise and affects snubber design in flyback/freewheeling circuits. |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 axial-leaded plastic package with cathode band marking; leads are tin-plated, solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208, and rated for 260°C/10s high-temperature soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., switch node or ground return) in freewheeling path. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked by band; tied to positive rail or output node; blocks reverse current up to 80V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Improves ESD and transient robustness without increasing forward voltage or leakage. |
| Lead-free, RoHS-compliant finish | Enables compliance with EU Directive 2002/95/EC and supports Pb-free reflow profiles. |
| Low thermal resistance (RJL = 15 K/W) | Reduces junction temperature rise by ~15°C per watt vs. typical DO-41 diodes with higher RJL. |
| 25A surge rating (JEDEC Method) | Supports reliable operation in automotive load-dump or industrial motor-control freewheeling applications. |
Applications
| DC/DC Converter Output Rectification | Reverse Polarity Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used as secondary-side rectifier in 5V/12V isolated flyback or buck-derived converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode conducting during MOSFET off-time; defines minimum output voltage ripple and conduction loss. Use Value: 0.80V VFM reduces power loss by ~15% versus comparable 1A silicon diodes, improving efficiency at light-to-moderate loads. | Use Scenario: Placed in series with power input to prevent damage from incorrect battery or adapter connection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Anode-to-input, cathode-to-system; conducts only during correct polarity, blocking reverse current. Use Value: Low 0.80V forward drop limits voltage loss in always-on supply paths, preserving >93% of nominal input voltage. |
| Inductive Load Freewheeling | Low-Voltage AC/DC Adapter Output |
Use Scenario: Connected across relay coils, solenoids, or small DC motors to clamp inductive kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-impedance path for stored magnetic energy during switch turn-off. Use Value: 25A IFSM withstands repeated 10–20A transient spikes, extending reliability in 24V control systems. | Use Scenario: Final rectifier stage in wall-wart adapters delivering 3.3V–12V to IoT sensors or embedded controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Converts transformer secondary AC to unregulated DC; operates continuously at <1A average current. Use Value: DO-41 package allows through-hole mounting on cost-sensitive consumer PCBs; RoHS compliance meets global market access requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB180-A | Same electrical specs; packaged in 5K ammo pack instead of tape-and-reel. | Not optimized for automated pick-and-place; requires manual or bulk-feed placement. | Select when prototyping or low-volume assembly avoids reel handling infrastructure. |
| SS18 | Same DO-41 package, 80V VRRM, but higher VFM (0.85V typ.) and lower IFSM (15A). | Limited surge margin in motor-control freewheeling; less efficient at full 1A load. | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs 50mV VFM penalty and 10A surge headroom. |
Compared with SB180-A and SS18, SB180-T provides identical electrical performance with tape-and-reel packaging for high-throughput SMT lines, while offering superior surge tolerance and lower forward drop than SS18-making it optimal for production-grade 1A power conversion and protection designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for SB180-T?
The SB180-T has an operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +125°C. Its absolute maximum Tj is 125°C under continuous operation; exceeding this risks parametric shift and long-term reliability degradation. Thermal design must ensure TJ remains within limit using measured RJL (15 K/W) and actual power dissipation.
Can SB180-T replace a standard PN-junction rectifier in a 12V automotive circuit?
Yes-SB180-T can replace 1N400x or 1N540x diodes in 12V automotive circuits where low forward voltage is beneficial. Its 80V VRRM exceeds typical 12V system transients (up to 40V), and 25A IFSM handles load-dump surges better than most general-purpose rectifiers.
Is SB180-T compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes-SB180-T features bright tin-plated leads qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020C, with a maximum peak temperature rating of 260°C for 10 seconds. Its UL 94V-0 molded plastic case also meets flammability requirements for modern PCB assemblies.
How does the guard ring construction improve reliability?
The guard ring die structure surrounds the active Schottky junction to suppress edge breakdown and reduce leakage under high dv/dt or reverse-bias stress. This improves transient immunity during inductive switching and extends lifetime in noisy industrial environments without compromising forward conduction characteristics.
