Product details
Overview
SBR20M45D1-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 20A, 45V ultra-low VF super barrier rectifier in TO252 (DPAK) package, optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and switching power supplies. It delivers 0.61 V max forward voltage at 20 A and 25°C, 0.1 mA max reverse leakage at 45 V/25°C, and supports operation up to +175°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the SBR20M45D1-13 datasheet, SBR20M45D1-13 pinout, SBR20M45D1-13 application, or SBR20M45D1-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at high current, thermal resistance (RθJC = 2.5°C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and TO252 thermal pad layout compatibility.
Technical Context
This super barrier rectifier uses patented Schottky-barrier-enhanced structure to achieve lower VF than standard Schottky diodes while maintaining superior high-temperature stability and soft reverse recovery. Its 0.61 V max VF at 20 A/25°C enables reduced conduction loss in high-current 12 V–48 V output rails.
Rated for 140 A non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), it sustains transient overloads in automotive and industrial SMPS freewheeling paths. The 2.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance supports direct heatsink mounting via the exposed drain tab in TO252 package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 45 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in 36 V nominal bus applications. |
| IO | 20 A - Average rectified output current at TA = 25°C with adequate heatsinking; derates to ~12 A at TC = 100°C per Figure 4. |
| VF Max | 0.61 V - Measured at IF = 20 A, TJ = 25°C; enables <12.2 W conduction loss per device in continuous 20 A path. |
| IR Max | 0.1 mA - Reverse leakage at VR = 45 V, TJ = 25°C; ensures low standby power loss in high-impedance hold-up circuits. |
| RθJC | 2.5 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; allows direct thermal interface to heatsink for high-power density layouts. |
| TJ Range | −55°C to +175°C - Extended junction temperature rating supports under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions. |
| IFSM | 140 A - Non-repetitive peak forward surge current (8.3 ms); withstands inrush and fault currents without bond-wire failure. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO252 (DPAK), surface-mount, with exposed drain tab (Pin 2) for thermal and electrical connection. Molded green compound, UL 94V-0 rated, lead-free and halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Anode) | Anode terminal | Connects to input/high-side node in freewheeling or output rectification configuration. |
| Pin 2 (Cathode / Drain Tab) | Cathode and thermal pad | Electrically and thermally connects to PCB copper pour or heatsink; must be soldered for RθJC performance. |
| Pin 3 (Cathode) | Cathode terminal | Secondary cathode connection; paralleled with Pin 2 for low-inductance, high-current return path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super barrier rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay V20100C-E3/45 | 45 V, 20 A, VF = 0.65 V max @ 20 A/25°C; RθJC = 3.0°C/W; no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Higher VF increases conduction loss by ~0.8 W at 20 A; lacks automotive qualification and soft-switching characterization. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal or automotive compliance requirements. |
| ON Semiconductor MUR2040CT | 40 V, 20 A, fast recovery (trr ≈ 35 ns), VF = 0.92 V max @ 20 A/25°C; TO220 package. | Higher VF and slower recovery increase switching loss and EMI; TO220 requires through-hole assembly and larger footprint. | Select only if legacy TO220 footprint reuse is mandatory and efficiency targets are relaxed. |
Compared with V20100C-E3/45 and MUR2040CT, the SBR20M45D1-13 delivers the lowest VF among TO252-packaged 45 V rectifiers with verified soft switching and AEC-Q101 compliance-making it optimal for high-density, high-reliability 20 A DC-DC outputs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for SBR20M45D1-13 at 100°C case temperature?
Per Figure 4 in the datasheet, the average rectified output current derates linearly from 20 A at TC = 25°C to approximately 12 A at TC = 100°C. This reflects thermal limitation due to RθJC = 2.5°C/W and maximum TJ = +175°C. Operation above this requires active cooling or reduced ambient.
Is SBR20M45D1-13 pin-compatible with standard TO252 Schottky diodes?
Yes-SBR20M45D1-13 uses standard TO252 (DPAK) footprint with identical pin 1 (anode), pin 2 (cathode/tab), and pin 3 (cathode) arrangement. Pad layout matches JEDEC MO-263, and thermal pad dimensions align with Diodes Inc.'s recommended 5.3 mm × 6.1 mm copper area.
Does SBR20M45D1-13 require a heatsink for 20 A continuous operation?
Yes-20 A continuous operation requires heatsinking. With RθJC = 2.5°C/W and PD ≈ 12.2 W (at VF = 0.61 V), even a modest 25°C/W heatsink raises TJ to ~135°C. For full 20 A at TA = 70°C, a forced-air or bonded heatsink with ≤10°C/W thermal resistance is recommended.
How does the soft switching behavior impact EMI in high-frequency converters?
Soft switching eliminates reverse recovery current spikes and associated dI/dt-induced ringing. In 500 kHz buck converters, this reduces peak-to-peak noise on the output rail by 8–12 dB compared to fast recovery diodes-lowering filter capacitor count and simplifying EMC compliance testing.
