B240BE-13

Overview

The B240BE-13 is a single Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a 40V repetitive peak reverse voltage and a 2A average forward current rating. The device utilizes silicon technology in an SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 550mV at 2A, a surge forward current capability of 50A, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 20uA. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Guard ring die construction provides transient protection capabilities
• Low power loss design ensures high efficiency operation
• Surge overload rating supports high peak current handling

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '13' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm packaging details such as reel quantity or tape specifications. Ensure the component meets required environmental standards like RoHS compliance before integration into final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a 40V blocking voltage with a 2A continuous current capacity in a compact SMB package. Consider the low forward voltage drop for efficiency-critical applications and verify thermal management requirements for the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the B2xxBE series of surface mount Schottky rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. These devices are designed for general-purpose rectification in space-constrained PCB layouts, offering a balance of current handling and voltage blocking in the DO-214AA footprint.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 40V 2A Schottky diodes in the SMB package, such as the B240Q-13-F or B240A-13-F, provided their specific electrical characteristics align with the circuit requirements.
