Product details
Overview
SBR20A45D1-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 20A, 45V Super Barrier Rectifier (SBR®) optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and switching power supplies. It delivers ultra-low forward voltage (0.59 V max at 20 A, 25°C), low leakage current (0.5 mA max at 45 V, 25°C), and operates up to +175°C junction temperature - enabling compact, thermally robust designs in server VRMs and telecom rectifiers.
For engineers reviewing the SBR20A45D1-13 datasheet, SBR20A45D1-13 pinout, SBR20A45D1-13 application, or SBR20A45D1-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage vs. temperature stability, surge current rating (140 A IFSM), TO252 thermal resistance (RθJC = 2.5°C/W), and RoHS/Green compliance for industrial and telecom deployments.
Technical Context
This SBR device replaces conventional Schottky and fast recovery diodes in medium-power SMPS outputs by combining low VF with soft reverse recovery - reducing EMI and eliminating snubber circuits. Its patented Super Barrier structure achieves lower conduction loss than standard Schottkys while maintaining superior high-temperature IR stability.
The TO252 (DPAK) package enables surface-mount assembly with direct heatsink attachment via the exposed cathode tab. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 2.5°C/W under standard test conditions, supporting high-current operation without forced air cooling in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VRRM | 45 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in 48V bus applications. |
| IO (AV) | 20 A - Average rectified output current at TA = 25°C; derates linearly above 25°C per Figure 4. |
| VF (max) | 0.59 V @ 20 A, 25°C - Enables <1.2 W conduction loss per diode at full load, critical for >95% efficiency designs. |
| IR (max) | 0.50 mA @ 45 V, 25°C - Low leakage preserves efficiency in standby modes and high-temperature operation. |
| IFSM | 140 A @ 8.3 ms - Withstands inrush and transient surges common in hot-plug and PFC-stage outputs. |
| TJ Range | –55°C to +175°C - Supports operation in automotive under-hood, industrial motor drives, and base station power modules. |
| RθJC | 2.5°C/W - Enables direct thermal coupling to heatsinks; allows >15 W dissipation with 37.5°C ΔT to case. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super barrier rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SBRT20A45CT-13 | Dual common-cathode configuration (2×10A); VF slightly higher (0.61 V max @ 10 A). | Requires dual-output or interleaved topologies; not drop-in for single-anode designs. | Select when designing dual-rail outputs or need shared cathode layout simplification. |
| MBR2045CTG | Standard Schottky; VF = 0.75 V max @ 20 A; IR = 1.0 mA @ 45 V, 25°C; no soft recovery. | Higher conduction loss and EMI risk limit use to lower-frequency (<100 kHz) or cost-sensitive non-telecom applications. | Choose only if thermal budget allows +3.2 W extra loss and EMI filtering headroom exists. |
Compared with SBRT20A45CT-13 and MBR2045CTG, the SBR20A45D1-13 provides the lowest VF among TO252 45V rectifiers with verified soft switching - making it optimal for high-frequency, high-efficiency, and thermally constrained applications where both loss and EMI must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for thermal relief with SBR20A45D1-13?
Per Diodes Inc. thermal test condition (Note 5), a 2-inch × 2-inch Al board with 50 mm × 50 mm × 23 mm heatsink achieves RθJA = 15°C/W. For standalone PCB mounting, ≥400 mm² of 2-oz copper connected to the cathode tab is recommended to maintain RθJA ≤ 35°C/W at 20 A continuous.
Does SBR20A45D1-13 support paralleling for higher current?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of VF ensures inherent current sharing. At 125°C, VF increases by ~0.1 V vs. 25°C, promoting balanced conduction. Use matched layout symmetry and Kelvin sensing for best results; avoid paralleling with Schottky diodes due to differing thermal coefficients.
Is the TO252 package lead (Pb)-free and compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - the device uses matte tin-finish terminals over copper leadframe and is qualified for Pb-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020. Peak temperature tolerance is 260°C for 30 seconds; moisture sensitivity level is MSL1, allowing unlimited floor life before reflow.
How does SBR20A45D1-13 perform under capacitive load conditions?
Diodes Inc. specifies a 20% IO derating for capacitive loads. At 20 A rated current, limit average forward current to 16 A when driving bulk capacitance directly - due to higher peak charging currents that increase localized heating and reduce reliability margin under repeated cold-start cycles.
