B220BE-13

Overview

The B220BE-13 is a surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 20 V and an average rectified output current of 2 A. The device utilizes an SMB (DO-214AA) case with matte tin annealed terminals over a copper leadframe. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.5 V at 2 A and 25°C, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.1 mA at 20 V and 25°C. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 90 °C/W in the SMB package.

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 compliant with RoHS directives
• Halogen and antimony free green device

Applications

• Boost diode circuits
• Blocking diode applications
• Recirculating diode configurations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required packaging configuration. Confirm that the component meets all applicable environmental compliance standards relevant to the target market. Ensure the procurement channel is authorized to guarantee product authenticity and traceability. Check for any recent engineering change notices that may affect mechanical or electrical specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component for general rectification tasks requiring low forward voltage and stable performance at elevated temperatures. The SMB package provides a balance between current handling capability and board space constraints. Consider the thermal resistance values when designing heat dissipation strategies for high-duty cycle applications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the B220AE-B245AE and B220BE-B245BE series of Schottky barrier rectifiers. The BE suffix specifically denotes the SMB surface-mount package variant, distinguishing it from the SMA packaged AE series. These devices are designed for low voltage, high frequency inverters and polarity protection applications.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include B220AE-13, which shares identical electrical ratings but uses the SMA package. Other voltage variants such as B230BE-13 or B240BE-13 offer higher reverse voltage capabilities while maintaining the same current rating and package style.
