Product details
Overview
SBR12U120P5-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 12A, 120V ultra-low VF super barrier rectifier in POWERDI®5 package, featuring 0.68V typical forward voltage at 12A/125°C and 150°C maximum junction temperature, optimized for high-efficiency DC/DC secondary-side rectification in server power supplies and telecom PSUs.
For engineers reviewing the SBR12U120P5-13 datasheet, SBR12U120P5-13 pinout, SBR12U120P5-13 application, or SBR12U120P5-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at elevated temperature, surge current rating (250A IFSM), thermal resistance (27°C/W), and RoHS-compliant green packaging with matte tin terminals.
Technical Context
This super barrier rectifier replaces conventional Schottky diodes in high-current, medium-voltage applications where low conduction loss and soft switching are critical. Its patented structure delivers lower VF than standard Schottkys while maintaining superior high-temperature leakage performance (0.25mA IR at 125°C, 120V).
Designed for surface-mount operation on polyimide PCBs with specified pad layout, it achieves 27°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and supports continuous operation up to +150°C junction temperature without derating under proper board thermal design.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super barrier rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SBRT12U120P5-13 | Same die, enhanced thermal pad design; RθJA = 24°C/W (vs. 27°C/W) | Better suited for 15A peak-load scenarios with tighter thermal margins | Select when board space allows larger thermal pad and efficiency gain >0.3% is required |
| MBR12120CT | TO-220AB dual common-cathode Schottky; VF = 0.82V @ 12A/25°C, no soft switching | Requires heatsink; unsuitable for >85°C ambient or high-frequency layouts | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or cost-sensitive non-thermal-constrained applications |
Compared with SBRT12U120P5-13, the SBR12U120P5-13 offers proven thermal performance at lower cost and smaller footprint, while MBR12120CT introduces significant conduction loss and EMI penalties in modern high-frequency, high-temperature systems.

FAQ
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for optimal thermal performance?
Diodes Incorporated specifies a 16 mm² minimum copper pad connected to internal ground planes via ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter, 0.8mm pitch) under the exposed cathode. The AP02001 layout document defines exact dimensions: 3.05 mm × 5.37 mm pad with 0.25 mm solder mask opening. This achieves the rated 27°C/W RθJA on 1.6 mm FR-4.
Does SBR12U120P5-13 support reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes - it is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 20–40 sec above 217°C) and classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1. No baking is required prior to assembly. The matte tin finish meets MIL-STD-202 Method 208 for solderability, and the green molding compound complies with UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
How does its leakage current compare to standard Schottky diodes at 125°C?
At 120V reverse bias and +125°C, SBR12U120P5-13 exhibits 0.25 mA IR - approximately 5× lower than typical 120V Schottkys (1.2–1.5 mA). This is achieved via the super barrier structure's reduced minority-carrier injection, directly lowering standby power loss in always-on telecom and industrial systems.
Can it replace a 12A, 100V Schottky in an existing design?
Yes, provided the circuit's maximum reverse voltage does not exceed 100V - the SBR12U120P5-13's 120V rating provides 20% margin. Its lower VF (0.68V vs. typical 0.75V) improves efficiency, but layout must accommodate the POWERDI®5 footprint and thermal pad. No changes to gate drive or control timing are needed due to its soft-switching behavior.
