Product details
Overview
SK15-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier with 50 V maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage, 1.0 A average forward rectified current at 75°C, and 0.70 V maximum forward voltage at 1.0 A, used in low-loss DC power supply output stages and OR-ing diode applications.
For engineers reviewing the SK15-13-F datasheet, SK15-13-F pinout, SK15-13-F application, or SK15-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at rated current, thermal resistance (25 °C/W), surge current capability (25 A), reverse leakage at 100°C (10 mA), and SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier employs a high-temperature metallurgically bonded junction to achieve low forward voltage and fast switching with no minority-carrier storage delay. It operates across –65°C to +125°C junction temperature range and supports single-phase half-wave 60 Hz resistive/inductive loads.
Designed for surface-mounted power conversion, it features UL 94V-0 molded plastic case, moisture sensitivity level 1, and lead-free matte tin plating compliant with RoHS Directive Annex Notes 5 and 7.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum allowable repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating limit in DC blocking or flyback clamp circuits. |
| I(AV) | 1.0 A @ TA = 75°C - Continuous DC output current capability with 6.0 mm² copper pads; derates to zero at 140°C ambient. |
| VF | 0.70 V @ 1.0 A - Forward conduction loss directly impacts efficiency in low-voltage power supplies (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V outputs). |
| IFSM | 25 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current tolerance for 8.3 ms half-sine; critical for handling inrush or transient overloads. |
| RθJL | 25 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to lead; determines temperature rise under steady-state power dissipation. |
| CT | 110 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V reverse - Junction capacitance affects high-frequency switching noise and EMI in SMPS output stages. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case, UL 94V-0 rated, cathode indicated by band or notch. Dimensions: A = 3.30–3.94 mm, B = 4.00–4.65 mm, C = 1.95–2.21 mm, E = 5.00–6.00 mm, J = 2.00–2.62 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path) in rectification; must handle full load current and surge. |
| Cathode | Current exit point during forward conduction | Marked with band; connects to positive output rail; carries forward current and blocks reverse voltage up to 50 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage | 0.70 V max at 1.0 A reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency in 3.3 V/5 V power rails. |
| High surge current rating | 25 A non-repetitive peak enables robustness against line transients and hot-swap events. |
| Thermal performance | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead resistance allows reliable operation with minimal heatsinking on standard PCB copper. |
| RoHS-compliant packaging | Lead-free matte tin finish meets EU Directive Annex requirements and supports lead-free reflow profiles (265°C, 10 s). |
Applications
| AC-DC Adapter Output Stage | USB Power Delivery Rectification |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| B150B-13-F | Same SMB package; 50 V VRRM, 1.0 A I(AV), 0.55 V VF @ 1.0 A (lower than SK15-13-F) | Lower forward voltage improves efficiency in thermally constrained layouts but requires verification of reverse leakage at 100°C (15 µA vs. 10 mA) | Select when lowest conduction loss is prioritized and elevated temperature reverse leakage is not critical. |
| SS15-E3/5AT | SMB package; 50 V VRRM, 1.0 A I(AV), 0.55 V typical VF; 100°C IR = 500 µA (higher than SK15-13-F's 10 mA) | Higher reverse leakage may impact standby power in always-on systems; tighter VF distribution benefits production yield. | Prefer for consumer-grade designs where cost and typical performance outweigh worst-case leakage concerns. |
Compared with SK15-13-F, B150B-13-F offers lower forward voltage but significantly lower reverse leakage at high temperature, while SS15-E3/5AT trades higher leakage for tighter VF consistency-selection depends on whether thermal leakage or conduction loss dominates the design constraint.

FAQ
Is SK15-13-F suitable for use in automotive applications?
No. SK15-13-F is not AEC-Q101 qualified and lacks automotive-grade screening, temperature cycling validation, or PPAP documentation. Its –65°C to +125°C operating range meets industrial but not automotive environmental requirements. For automotive use, consider Diodes' APx series or Vishay's VS-15MQxx-M3.
What is the maximum PCB pad size recommended for thermal performance?
The datasheet specifies 6.0 mm² copper pads for the I(AV) rating derating curve. Using pads ≥6.0 mm² per terminal (e.g., 2.0 mm × 3.0 mm) ensures the 1.0 A rating at 75°C ambient. Smaller pads increase thermal resistance and require current derating per Figure 1.
Does SK15-13-F have a specified reverse recovery time?
No. As a Schottky barrier rectifier, SK15-13-F has no minority carrier storage and therefore no defined reverse recovery time (trr). Its switching is limited only by junction capacitance (110 pF) and circuit inductance, making it inherently faster than PN rectifiers.
Can SK15-13-F be used in parallel for higher current capacity?
Not recommended without external balancing. The device has no built-in current-sharing features, and forward voltage variation between units can cause uneven current distribution. If paralleling is required, use matched VF lots and individual series resistors (0.01–0.05 Ω) per anode to ensure ±10% current sharing.
