B240AQ-13-F

Overview

The B240AQ-13-F is a 2.0A surface mount Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 40V and a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.50V at 2.0A. The device supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50A and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. Packaged in an SMA case with a tape and reel quantity of 5,000 units, it is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for automotive applications.

Feature Summary

• Guard ring die construction provides transient protection capabilities
• Qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for high reliability in automotive environments
• Low power loss design ensures high efficiency operation
• Capable of handling surge overload ratings up to 50A peak

Applications

• Low-voltage, high-frequency inverters
• Free-wheeling circuits
• Polarity protection applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type, as the datasheet lists both SMA and SMB options for similar part numbers. Confirm that the automotive qualification aligns with project requirements, noting that electrical characteristics remain consistent across standard and automotive variants unless explicitly stated otherwise in official documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2.0A Schottky rectifier with a 40V rating is required for automated assembly processes. The SMA package offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained designs. Ensure thermal management accounts for the specified junction-to-lead thermal resistance values during continuous operation at elevated ambient temperatures.

Part Context

This part belongs to the B220/A through B260/A series of surface mount Schottky barrier rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. The series shares common mechanical data and electrical performance profiles, differentiated primarily by their peak repetitive reverse voltage ratings ranging from 20V to 60V. The 'AQ' designation indicates automotive qualification and SMA packaging.
