Product details
Overview
SBRT05U20S3 from Diodes Incorporated is a 20V, 0.5A trench super barrier rectifier in SOD323 package, featuring ultra-low forward voltage (0.33V max at 0.5A/25°C), 70µA max reverse leakage at 20V/150°C, and +150°C junction temperature rating. It serves as a high-efficiency freewheeling or polarity protection diode in compact DC-DC converters and battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the SBRT05U20S3 datasheet, SBRT05U20S3 pinout, SBRT05U20S3 application, or SBRT05U20S3 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at operating current, high-temperature leakage stability, AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD323 footprint compatibility, and soft-switching behavior in low-loss power paths.
Technical Context
This device employs patented TrenchSBR technology to achieve lower VF than Schottky diodes while maintaining superior thermal stability of IR up to +150°C. Its soft, fast switching minimizes EMI in high-frequency SMPS topologies without requiring snubbers.
The SOD323 package enables high power density with 365°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard PCB copper, supporting continuous 500mA operation up to +85°C ambient when derated per Figure 1.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super barrier rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SBRT05U20T3G (ON Semiconductor) | Same 20V/0.5A rating; VF = 0.37V max at 0.5A/25°C; slightly higher IR (100µA @ 20V/150°C) | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; not approved for automotive under-hood use | Select when cost is primary constraint and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| SS12 (Micro Commercial Components) | 20V/1A Schottky; VF = 0.5V max; IR = 500µA @ 20V/125°C; no trench structure | Higher conduction loss and thermal runaway risk above +100°C junction | Select only for non-thermal-critical, low-cost consumer applications with <+85°C ambient |
Compared with SBRT05U20T3G and SS12, the SBRT05U20S3 delivers lowest system-level power loss in thermally demanding applications due to its uniquely low VF/IR trade-off and automotive-grade reliability-making it optimal where efficiency, longevity, and qualification are jointly required.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable PCB pad temperature during reflow soldering?
The SBRT05U20S3 is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow per J-STD-020, with peak temperature of 260°C for ≤30 seconds. Its SOD323 package and NiPdAu finish ensure reliable wetting and intermetallic formation without delamination or voiding when using recommended thermal profiles and stencil apertures from AP02001.
Does this diode require a heatsink in 0.5A continuous operation?
No heatsink is required. At 0.5A and 0.35V VF, power dissipation is ~175mW. With RθJA = 365°C/W on a 1-inch² 2oz copper pad, temperature rise is ~64°C - well within the +150°C TJ limit even at +85°C ambient. Thermal relief vias beneath the cathode pad further reduce effective RθJA.
How does its reverse recovery behavior compare to conventional Schottky diodes?
Unlike conventional Schottky diodes that exhibit minority-carrier injection and measurable reverse recovery charge (Qrr), the SBRT05U20S3 shows no Qrr spike in oscilloscope measurements due to its majority-carrier trench structure. This eliminates switching loss and EMI associated with reverse recovery, enabling cleaner waveforms in high-frequency SMPS without snubbers.
Is the SOD323 package compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI) systems?
Yes. The SOD323's standardized cathode band marking (green "V2" code per datasheet) and consistent 1.70mm body width enable reliable AOI detection. Its flat, coplanar leads and defined solder fillet geometry meet IPC-A-610 Class 2 criteria for automated visual defect classification, including tombstoning and insufficient solder coverage.
