Product details
Overview
SK12-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMB package, rated for 20 V maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage, 1.0 A average forward rectified current at 75°C, and 0.55 V typical forward voltage at 1.0 A. It serves as a low-loss power conversion diode in DC/DC converter output stages and AC adapter secondary-side rectification.
For engineers reviewing the SK12-13-F datasheet, SK12-13-F pinout, SK12-13-F application, or SK12-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at rated current, thermal resistance (25°C/W junction-to-lead), surge current capability (25 A, 8.3 ms), reverse leakage at 100°C (10 mA), and SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses high-temperature metallurgically bonded contacts to achieve low VF and fast switching with no minority-carrier storage delay. Its 110 pF typical junction capacitance at 4.0 V reverse bias and 1.0 MHz enables stable operation in high-frequency switching supplies up to several hundred kHz.
The device operates across –65°C to +125°C junction temperature range and features UL 94V-0 molded plastic case. Thermal resistance of 25°C/W (junction-to-lead) supports direct PCB copper pad heat sinking, and its 265°C solder bath tolerance ensures robust reflow process compatibility.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| B120B-13-F | 20 V VRRM, 1.0 A I(AV), 0.45 V VF @ 1.0 A, SMB package | Lower VF improves efficiency in thermally constrained layouts | Select when <0.5 V forward drop is required at full load |
| SS12 | 20 V VRRM, 1.0 A I(AV), 0.5 V VF @ 1.0 A, SMA package | SMA footprint requires PCB redesign; slightly higher RθJA | Choose only if legacy SMA board space is fixed and SMB is unavailable |
Compared with SK12-13-F, B120B-13-F delivers lower conduction loss but shares identical surge and thermal ratings, while SS12 offers similar electrical performance in a smaller, less thermally efficient package-making SK12-13-F optimal for new SMB-based designs requiring balanced VF, surge margin, and thermal management.

Manufacturer
Diodes Incorporated is a global manufacturer of discrete semiconductors and analog ICs, specializing in high-reliability power management and signal integrity solutions.
The SKxx series targets cost-sensitive, high-volume power rectification applications where low VF, robust surge handling, and SMB manufacturability are prioritized over ultra-low leakage or RF-grade capacitance control.
FAQ
Is SK12-13-F compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes. SK12-13-F features matte tin lead-free plating and is qualified for 265°C solder bath immersion for 10 seconds, fully compliant with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020C Level 1 moisture sensitivity and standard Pb-free reflow profiles including peak temperatures up to 260°C.
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature for continuous 1.0 A operation?
At 1.0 A average forward current, the datasheet specifies derating begins above 75°C ambient. With 6.0 mm² copper pads, full 1.0 A load is sustainable up to 75°C; above that, current must be reduced per Fig. 1 - e.g., 0.7 A at 100°C ambient - to maintain TJ ≤ 125°C.
Does SK12-13-F have a specified reverse recovery time (trr)?
No. As a Schottky barrier rectifier, SK12-13-F has no minority carrier storage and therefore no defined reverse recovery time. Its switching behavior is governed by junction capacitance (110 pF) and series resistance, enabling near-zero switching loss in high-frequency applications.
Can SK12-13-F replace SK13-13-F in a design?
No. SK12-13-F is rated for 20 V VRRM, while SK13-13-F is rated for 30 V. Substituting SK12-13-F in a 30 V circuit risks reverse breakdown under transient overvoltage conditions. The "12" and "13" denote distinct voltage grades and are not interchangeable without system-level voltage stress reassessment.
