Product details

Overview

SBR20A60CTB from Diodes Incorporated is a 20A dual common-cathode Super Barrier Rectifier in TO263 (D2PAK) package, rated for 60V peak reverse voltage and featuring low forward voltage drop (0.56V typ. @ 20A, 25°C), soft fast switching, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability. It serves as a high-efficiency output rectifier in DC-DC converters and AC-DC power supplies.

For engineers reviewing the SBR20A60CTB datasheet, SBR20A60CTB pinout, SBR20A60CTB application, or SBR20A60CTB equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage at high current and temperature, thermal resistance (R_θJC = 2°C/W), leakage current stability up to +125°C, and TO263 mechanical compatibility with automated PCB assembly.

Technical Context

This dual-diode rectifier integrates two independent SBR® elements sharing a common cathode terminal, enabling synchronous half-wave or center-tapped full-wave configurations. Its patented super barrier structure delivers lower VF than Schottky diodes while maintaining superior high-temperature leakage performance.

Designed for operation up to +150°C junction temperature, it supports repetitive surge currents up to 180A (8.3ms half-sine) and exhibits soft recovery with minimal reverse recovery charge-critical for reducing EMI in high-frequency switch-mode power supplies.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Peak Reverse Voltage (V_RRM)	60 V - Maximum blocking capability per leg; defines maximum input/output differential in buck or flyback secondary-side rectification.
Average Forward Current (I_O)	20 A total (10 A per leg) - Continuous DC current rating per element at T_A = 25°C with adequate heatsinking.
Forward Voltage (V_F)	0.56 V typ. @ 20A, 25°C - Directly reduces conduction loss and improves system efficiency in high-current power rails.
Thermal Resistance (R_θJC)	2 °C/W - Enables predictable junction-to-case temperature rise; supports compact thermal design with standard D2PAK heatsink pads.
Leakage Current (I_R)	100 µA max @ 60V, 125°C - Ensures stable blocking behavior under elevated ambient conditions in automotive under-hood applications.
Surge Current (I_FSM)	180 A (8.3ms) - Withstands inrush and transient overloads without degradation, critical for hot-plug and startup robustness.

Pinout & Package

Package: TO263AB (D2PAK), surface-mount, single-row 3-terminal outline with exposed thermal pad. Case material is UL 94V-0 molded plastic; terminals are matte tin over copper leadframe, solderable per MIL-STD-202.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
Pin 1 (Anode 1)	Input anode of first diode element	Connects to transformer secondary or switching node; carries full forward current during positive half-cycle.
Pin 2 (Cathode)	Common cathode connection for both diodes	Output node shared by both legs; requires low-inductance, high-current trace routing to minimize voltage overshoot.
Pin 3 (Anode 2)	Input anode of second diode element	Used in center-tapped topologies or dual-output configurations; electrically isolated from Pin 1 except through shared cathode.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Patented SBR® technology	Combines Schottky-like low VF with PN-junction-level thermal stability-enables 0.56V @ 20A/25°C and <100µA leakage @ 125°C.
Soft, fast switching	Low Q_rr and controlled reverse recovery reduce EMI generation and snubber losses in >100kHz SMPS designs.
AEC-Q101 qualified	Validated for automotive under-hood use including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing-supports PPAP documentation.
Green, RoHS-compliant construction	Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb); lead-free matte tin terminations meet EU directives.

Applications

Automotive DC-DC Converters

Industrial AC-DC Power Supplies

Use Scenario: 12V–48V bidirectional DC-DC conversion in 48V mild-hybrid vehicle architectures.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output synchronous rectifier replacing MOSFETs in secondary-side regulation, leveraging low VF to minimize conduction loss at 15–20A load.

Use Value: Delivers >95% efficiency at full load while eliminating gate-drive complexity and body-diode conduction penalties.

Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 300W open-frame industrial power supplies with universal AC input.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode common-cathode configuration enables center-tapped transformer full-wave rectification without discrete diode pairing.

Use Value: Reduces component count and layout area versus discrete dual-Schottky solutions while maintaining thermal margin up to +85°C ambient.

Telecom Server PSUs

LED Driver Secondary Rectification

Use Scenario: High-density 48V input, 12V/54A output VRM in telecom rack-mounted servers.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary output rectifier operating at 200–500kHz switching frequency with forced-air cooling.

Use Value: Soft recovery minimizes voltage spikes across primary-side MOSFETs, reducing need for oversized RCD snubbers and improving overall power stage reliability.

Use Scenario: Constant-current LED driver for outdoor signage with 36V output and 10–20A output current.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-VF rectifier in flyback secondary path, directly influencing driver efficiency and thermal management requirements.

Use Value: 0.56V forward drop at 20A lowers heat dissipation by ~1.2W vs. conventional 0.75V Schottky, extending heatsink life and reducing thermal derating.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current, low-VF rectifier applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
Vishay VS-20CPH06	60V, 20A, TO220 package; VF = 0.62V @ 20A, 25°C; R_θJC = 2.5°C/W; not AEC-Q101 qualified.	Requires through-hole mounting and larger board area; suitable for non-automotive industrial use only.	Select when cost sensitivity outweighs surface-mount automation benefits and automotive qualification is unnecessary.
ON Semiconductor MUR2060CT	600V, 20A ultrafast recovery rectifier in TO220; VF = 1.7V @ 20A; higher conduction loss but higher voltage rating.	Used where 600V blocking is required (e.g., PFC boost diodes), not direct replacement for 60V SBR applications.	Choose only if system requires >100V reverse voltage margin-otherwise conduction losses degrade efficiency significantly.

Compared with VS-20CPH06 and MUR2060CT, SBR20A60CTB offers the lowest VF among 60V-rated 20A rectifiers in surface-mount form, combined with automotive qualification and thermal performance optimized for high-power density layouts.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?

The SBR20A60CTB has an operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. For continuous operation at rated 20A total current, thermal design must ensure T_J remains ≤150°C, typically requiring a heatsink or PCB copper area that maintains R_θJA ≤ 16°C/W under worst-case ambient conditions.

Is SBR20A60CTB pin-compatible with standard TO263 dual-diode rectifiers?

Yes-SBR20A60CTB uses the standard TO263AB (D2PAK) 3-pin outline with Anode1–Cathode–Anode2 pin assignment. Its footprint matches industry-standard dual-diode D2PAK packages, including IPC-7351 compliant land patterns referenced in Diodes' AP02001 layout guide.

Does the "B" suffix indicate automotive qualification?

No-the "B" suffix denotes the TO263 (D2PAK) package variant. Automotive qualification (AEC-Q101) applies only to part numbers ending in "Q", such as SBR20A60CTBQ-13. The standard SBR20A60CTB is commercial-grade but shares identical electrical and thermal characteristics with its automotive counterpart.

How does SBR technology differ from Schottky and standard PN rectifiers?

SBR uses a proprietary barrier structure that achieves Schottky-like forward voltage (0.56V) while retaining PN-junction thermal stability-leakage stays below 100µA at 125°C, unlike Schottkys which exceed 1mA. It also avoids hard reverse recovery, offering softer switching than fast PN rectifiers like MUR series.
