Product details
Overview
SBRT5A50SAF-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 5A, 50V Trench Super Barrier Rectifier in SMAF package, featuring VF ≤ 0.53 V at 5A/25°C, IR ≤ 150 µA at 50V/25°C, and thermal resistance RθJA = 38°C/W. It serves as a high-efficiency boost or recirculating diode in DC-DC converters and power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SBRT5A50SAF-13 datasheet, SBRT5A50SAF-13 pinout, SBRT5A50SAF-13 application, or SBRT5A50SAF-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage at 5A, high-temperature leakage (≤45 µA at 125°C), peak surge rating (100A), RoHS/Green compliance, and SMAF footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device employs Diodes Incorporated's Trench Super Barrier (SBR) technology to achieve lower VF than standard Schottky rectifiers while maintaining superior high-temperature reverse leakage performance. Its structure enables stable operation up to +150°C junction temperature with minimal thermal runaway risk.
The SMAF package supports automated SMT assembly and provides 38°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on a 1"×1" FR-4 board. Polarity is marked by cathode band; terminals use matte tin over copper leadframe, solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in boost or flyback clamp circuits. |
| IO | 5 A - Average rectified output current at TA = 25°C; derated to ~3.2 A at +100°C per Figure 4. |
| VF MAX | 0.53 V - Max forward voltage at IF = 5A, TJ = 25°C; enables <0.27 W conduction loss at full load. |
| IR MAX | 150 µA - Max reverse leakage at VR = 50V, TJ = 25°C; rises to 45 µA at 125°C, ensuring stability in hot environments. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Non-repetitive surge rating (8.3 ms half-sine); withstands inrush and transient overloads in SMPS input stages. |
| RθJA | 38 °C/W - Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient on standard FR-4; determines required heatsinking for continuous 5A operation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMAF (Surface-Mount Axial Flat), low-profile plastic case (UL 94V-0), 0.064 g weight, cathode band polarity marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal during forward conduction | Connected to source side (e.g., switch node in boost converter); requires adequate copper pour for thermal dissipation. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal during forward conduction; marked with band | Connected to output rail or ground return path; polarity must be verified before placement to prevent reverse bias failure. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low VF at 5A | 0.53 V max at 25°C - reduces conduction loss by ~30% vs. comparable Schottky diodes, improving efficiency in 12V–48V DC-DC stages. |
| High-temp IR stability | 45 µA at 125°C - limits thermal runaway risk in enclosed or high-ambient environments like industrial power modules. |
| Lead-free & Green compliant | Meets RoHS 2 (2011/65/EU), <900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - satisfies environmental compliance for global OEM shipments. |
| SMAF footprint | 4.00 mm × 2.50 mm body, 0.50–1.50 mm lead length - enables high-density layout in compact AC/DC adapters and PoE injectors. |
Applications
| Boost Diode | Blocking Diode |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used in non-isolated boost converters to transfer energy from input to output capacitor during switch-off phase. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve enabling step-up voltage conversion; conducts only when MOSFET is off. Use Value: Low VF minimizes power loss during high-current pulse conduction, directly increasing converter efficiency above 90% at 5A load. | Use Scenario: Placed between battery and system rail to prevent backfeed during standby or fault conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-polarity protection element; blocks current flow from system to battery when input is absent. Use Value: 150 µA IR at 25°C ensures negligible standby drain, extending battery life in portable medical monitors and IoT edge nodes. |
| Recirculating Diode | Output Rectifier |
Use Scenario: Provides freewheeling path for inductive current in buck-derived topologies (e.g., synchronous buck with external FET). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp diode that conducts during low-side FET off-time to maintain continuous inductor current. Use Value: 100A IFSM rating handles peak inductor current surges without degradation, supporting robust operation in motor drive gate drivers. | Use Scenario: Rectifies secondary-side AC in isolated flyback or forward converters for 5–12V output rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output-stage unidirectional conductor; turns on synchronously with transformer reset phase. Use Value: Stable VF across -55°C to +150°C ensures consistent regulation margin in automotive infotainment power supplies. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super barrier rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SBRT5A50S-13 | SMA package (not SMAF); 0.2 mm taller, 0.3 mm wider body; RθJA = 40°C/W | Same electrical specs but less suitable for ultra-thin designs requiring <1.1 mm height | Select if existing SMA footprint is locked and thermal margin allows 2°C/W higher RθJA. |
| SS5P5L-13-F | 5A, 50V Schottky; VF = 0.52 V typ at 5A but IR = 200 µA at 125°C (vs. 45 µA) | Higher leakage may compromise reliability in sealed, high-temp enclosures | Prefer SBRT5A50SAF-13 where thermal stability > absolute lowest VF is critical. |
Compared with SBRT5A50S-13 and SS5P5L-13-F, the SBRT5A50SAF-13 delivers tighter thermal resistance control and significantly lower high-temperature leakage-making it optimal for thermally constrained, mission-critical rectification where long-term reliability outweighs marginal VF reduction.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SBRT5A50SAF-13?
The device is rated for continuous operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 38°C/W) and low high-temperature leakage (45 µA at 125°C) enable reliable use in sealed enclosures or near heat-generating components without active cooling.
Is SBRT5A50SAF-13 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes. The SMAF package uses matte tin–annealed copper leadframe and complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1. It supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C) without delamination or solder joint integrity issues.
How does SBRT5A50SAF-13 differ from standard Schottky rectifiers?
Unlike conventional Schottky diodes, this Trench SBR achieves lower reverse leakage at elevated temperatures (45 µA at 125°C vs. >200 µA for many Schottkys) while maintaining competitive VF. Its trench structure suppresses thermal runaway, making it more robust in high-ambient applications.
Can SBRT5A50SAF-13 replace a 5A, 50V standard recovery diode?
No-it is not a direct replacement for standard PN junction diodes due to its lower VRRM margin and lack of soft recovery. It is optimized for high-frequency switching (e.g., >100 kHz) where low VF matters most; use only where reverse recovery time and voltage overshoot are not critical.
