Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm exact packaging and qualification status. Ensure the component meets the required environmental standards for the target application. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm parameter validity. Confirm availability of the specific tape-and-reel or cut-tape format required for assembly equipment.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, surface-mount solution is required for 60 V applications. The SMA package offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained designs. Consider the thermal derating curves if operating near the maximum temperature limit. Compare forward voltage specifications against alternative brands to ensure system efficiency targets are met.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the B1xxQ series of Super Barrier Rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. These devices combine the speed of Schottky diodes with the reliability of standard silicon rectifiers. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings such as B140Q and B150Q, sharing similar physical dimensions and mounting characteristics for design flexibility.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include B160Q-13-F and B160B-13-F from Diodes Incorporated. Other manufacturers offer equivalent SMA-packaged 1A 60V Schottky diodes, but pinout and thermal performance must be verified.
