B160BE-13

Overview

The B160BE-13 is a 1.0A Schottky Barrier Rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated in the SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package. It features a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 60V and an average rectified forward current of 1A. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.65V at 1A and +25°C, with a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.2mA at 60V and +25°C. Non-repetitive peak forward surge current is rated at 30A for an 8.3ms half-sine wave pulse.

Feature Summary

• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency and cooler operation
• Reduced high-temperature reverse leakage to increase reliability against thermal runaway
• Lead-free finish and RoHS compliant construction
• Halogen and antimony free "Green" device

Applications

• Boost diode circuits
• Blocking diode applications
• Recirculating diode implementations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required tape and reel quantity. Confirm that the component meets all applicable RoHS directives and environmental standards relevant to your manufacturing region. Ensure the SMB package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 60V blocking capability and 1A continuous current rating are required in a compact SMB package. Consider its low forward voltage characteristics for efficiency-critical designs. Evaluate thermal resistance values if operating near maximum temperature limits or in confined spaces requiring efficient heat dissipation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the B150AE-B160AE and B150BE-B160BE series of Schottky barrier rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. The BE suffix specifically denotes the SMB surface-mount case style, distinguishing it from the SMA packaged AE variants within the same electrical family.

Replacement Considerations

B160AE-13 offers identical electrical specifications but utilizes the SMA package instead of SMB.
