Product details
Overview
SBR545SAFQ-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 5.0A, 45V surface-mount Super Barrier Rectifier in SMAF package, featuring 0.56V max forward voltage at 5A and 0.2mA max reverse leakage at 45V/25°C, with AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability in boost, blocking, and recirculating diode roles.
For engineers reviewing the SBR545SAFQ-13 datasheet, SBR545SAFQ-13 pinout, SBR545SAFQ-13 application, or SBR545SAFQ-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include VF stability across temperature, avalanche ruggedness (5× Schottky), IFSM=100A surge rating, and RoHS/Green compliance in low-profile SMAF packaging.
Technical Context
This Super Barrier Rectifier uses patented SBR® technology to deliver superior avalanche capability and thermal stability versus standard Schottky diodes, enabling reliable operation up to +150°C junction temperature. Its 14ns reverse recovery time and 215pF junction capacitance support high-frequency switching in DC-DC converters and power supplies.
The device operates with 20°C/W junction-to-case and 45°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR-4 PCBs, allowing sustained 5A average current under derated ambient conditions per Figure 1. Polarity is defined by cathode band marking.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VRRM | 45V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe DC blocking capability in 48V systems. |
| IO | 5.0A - Average rectified output current at TA=25°C; usable up to ~70°C ambient with derating per Figure 1. |
| VF (MAX) | 0.56V @ 5A, 25°C - Low conduction loss enables >95% efficiency in 5A power paths; drops to 0.485V at 125°C. |
| IR (MAX) | 0.2mA @ 45V, 25°C - Low leakage preserves system standby power; rises to 43mA at 125°C but remains stable vs. Schottky. |
| IFSM | 100A - Non-repetitive surge rating for 8.3ms half-sine; supports inrush and fault-current handling in automotive modules. |
| tRR | 14ns - Fast reverse recovery minimizes switching loss and EMI in high-frequency (>100kHz) SMPS topologies. |
| RθJA | 45°C/W - Thermal resistance on 1"×1", 2oz FR-4 board; informs heatsinking requirements for continuous 5A operation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super barrier rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SBRT545S-13 | Same die, SMA package (not SMAF); RθJA = 50°C/W vs. 45°C/W; 0.05g weight. | Less compact footprint; slightly higher thermal resistance limits high-density layout use. | Select when SMA footprint compatibility is required over ultra-low profile. |
| MBR545F-TP | Standard Schottky; VF = 0.58V @ 5A; IR = 0.5mA @ 25°C; no AEC-Q101; lower avalanche rating. | Lacks automotive qualification and thermal leakage stability; unsuitable for under-hood or PPAP-driven designs. | Use only in cost-sensitive commercial applications where AEC-Q101 and high-temp IR are not required. |
Compared with SBRT545S-13 and MBR545F-TP, the SBR545SAFQ-13 delivers superior thermal performance in constrained space, verified automotive qualification, and significantly lower high-temperature leakage-making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial applications demanding long-term reliability and efficiency.

FAQ
Is SBR545SAFQ-13 pin-compatible with standard SMA diodes?
No. While both use SMA-family footprints, SBR545SAFQ-13 is in the thinner SMAF package (max height 1.10mm vs. SMA's 2.29mm), requiring adjusted stencil and reflow profiles. Pad layout matches Diodes' recommended SMAF dimensions (C=4.00mm, X=2.50mm), not generic SMA.
What is the maximum continuous operating temperature for SBR545SAFQ-13?
The device supports continuous operation up to +150°C junction temperature (TJ). Ambient temperature must be limited per the derating curve in Figure 1: at 100°C TA, IO drops to ~3.5A on standard FR-4; forced air or copper pour extends usable ambient range.
Does SBR545SAFQ-13 require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes. Use the exact pad dimensions from Diodes' SMAF outline (C=4.00mm, G=1.50mm, X=2.50mm) to ensure solder joint integrity and thermal transfer. Avoid thermal relief on cathode/anode pads to maintain RθJC=20°C/W; minimum 0.56"×0.73" copper area recommended per datasheet Note 5.
How does the SBR® technology differ from standard Schottky rectifiers?
SBR® uses a modified epitaxial structure that increases avalanche energy handling fivefold versus Schottky while retaining low VF and fast tRR. Unlike Schottky, it avoids catastrophic failure under repetitive overvoltage transients-critical for automotive load-dump survivability per ISO 7637-2.
