Product details
Overview
SBR2A150SP5-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a Super Barrier Rectifier optimized for solar panel bypass applications, featuring 150 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 2 A average rectified output current, and a low 0.8 V forward voltage drop at 2 A and 25°C. It operates up to +150°C junction temperature and uses patented super barrier technology for high thermal reliability in photovoltaic module string protection.
For engineers reviewing the SBR2A150SP5-13 datasheet, SBR2A150SP5-13 pinout, SBR2A150SP5-13 application, or SBR2A150SP5-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 V blocking capability, 120 A non-repetitive surge rating, +200°C rated junction limit, PowerDI5 package thermal resistance (RθJC = 20°C/W), and RoHS-compliant green construction.
Technical Context
This device implements a patented super barrier rectifier structure-distinct from Schottky or standard PN diodes-to achieve lower VF while maintaining superior high-temperature leakage stability. Its 150 V VRRM rating and 2 A IO are validated under single-phase half-wave 60 Hz resistive/inductive load conditions, with derating required for capacitive loads.
The PowerDI5 package enables compact mounting on FR-4 PCBs with defined pad layout per Diodes' outline spec, delivering RθJA = 100°C/W (typ) and RθJC = 20°C/W (typ). Thermal performance supports sustained operation at TJ ≤ +150°C when VR ≤ 80% VRRM, extending to +180°C at reduced voltage bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 150 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines PV string voltage compatibility |
| IO | 2 A - Continuous DC forward current rating at TA = 25°C; determines bypass current capacity per cell string |
| VF | 0.8 V @ 2 A, 25°C - Low conduction loss reduces power dissipation and thermal stress in confined module spaces |
| IFSM | 120 A - Single half-sine surge rating (8.3 ms); withstands lightning-induced transient currents in outdoor PV arrays |
| TJ max | +150°C - Maximum operating junction temperature; enables reliable operation in hot rooftop environments |
| RθJC | 20 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; allows direct heatsinking via copper pad for improved thermal management |
| IR | 100 µA @ 150 V, 25°C - Reverse leakage at full rated voltage; critical for minimizing night-time power loss in solar modules |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerDI5 - surface-mount, 3-terminal molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), 0.093 g weight, matte tin–annealed copper leadframe, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to solar cell negative terminal; must handle full string current and surge transients |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Current exit point during forward conduction | Connected to common bus or adjacent cell positive; primary heat path to PCB copper pour |
| Case / Exposed Pad (Pin 3) | Thermal and electrical ground reference | Internally tied to cathode; soldered to large copper area for thermal dissipation and EMI reduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bypass diode optimization | Engineered specifically for photovoltaic module string-level fault isolation, minimizing hot-spot heating during partial shading |
| +200°C junction-rated design | Allows safe margin above +150°C operational limit, ensuring long-term reliability in desert or rooftop installations |
| Super barrier technology | Delivers Schottky-like VF with PN-diode-level high-temperature IR stability-no catastrophic leakage rise at 125°C+ |
| Green construction | Halogen- and antimony-free (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb); meets EU RoHS 2 and environmental compliance mandates |
Applications
| Photovoltaic Module Bypass Protection | Solar String-Level Fault Management |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Installed across individual solar cells or substrings within a PV module to prevent reverse-bias hot spots during shading or cell failure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current shunt that conducts only during reverse bias of shaded cells, clamping voltage to ~0.8 V. Use Value: Prevents localized overheating (>150°C) and permanent cell degradation by limiting reverse power dissipation to <1.6 W per diode at 2 A. | Use Scenario: Integrated into commercial rooftop solar arrays where string voltages reach 600–1000 VDC and ambient temperatures exceed 65°C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability bypass element enabling >25-year field life under thermal cycling and UV exposure. Use Value: Maintains <100 µA leakage at 150 V and 25°C, reducing nighttime parasitic drain and improving annual energy yield by ≥0.3%. |
| High-Temperature Industrial Power Supplies | Off-Grid Solar Charge Controllers |
Use Scenario: Used in auxiliary rectification stages of industrial DC power supplies operating inside enclosures with limited airflow. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier handling continuous 2 A load with minimal thermal runaway risk. Use Value: Stable VF and IR up to +150°C junction temperature eliminates need for oversized heatsinks in space-constrained designs. | Use Scenario: Embedded in MPPT charge controllers for remote telecom or rural electrification systems exposed to wide ambient swings (−40°C to +85°C). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input-side reverse polarity and surge protection diode in battery-input paths. Use Value: 120 A IFSM rating absorbs load-dump transients from alternator-based charging sources without failure. |

Manufacturer
Diodes Incorporated is a global manufacturer of discrete semiconductors and analog ICs, headquartered in Plano, Texas, with design, manufacturing, and sales operations across Asia, Europe, and North America.
The SBR (Super Barrier Rectifier) product line was developed to replace Schottky diodes in high-temperature, high-reliability power conversion-especially solar bypass and automotive under-hood applications-where low VF and stable IR are simultaneously required.
FAQ
What is the maximum allowable reverse voltage for continuous operation?
The SBR2A150SP5-13 is rated for 150 V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM). For continuous DC blocking, it must be operated at ≤80% VRRM (+120 V) when TJ ≤ +150°C, or ≤50% VRRM (+75 V) when TJ ≤ +180°C, per the datasheet's thermal derating table.
Can this diode be used as a replacement for standard Schottky rectifiers?
Yes-but only where its super barrier architecture provides advantage: lower high-temperature leakage than Schottky diodes, without sacrificing VF. It is not a direct drop-in for Schottky parts with different packages or pinouts; the PowerDI5 footprint and cathode-tied thermal pad require layout verification.
Is the PowerDI5 package compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI)?
Yes-the PowerDI5's exposed cathode pad and clearly defined top marking (S2A150S) support AOI detection. Its flat, coplanar leads and consistent mold compound reflectivity meet IPC-A-610 Class 2/3 requirements for solder joint and placement verification in high-volume PV module assembly lines.
Why is this part marked "OBSOLETE – PART DISCONTINUED"?
Diodes Incorporated discontinued SBR2A150SP5-13 in March 2017 and assigned no official alternate. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and offers engineering support for existing designs still in production, including cross-reference guidance and thermal validation assistance.
