B350CE-13

Overview

The B350CE-13 is a single Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V and an average forward rectified current of 3 A. The device utilizes an SMC surface-mount package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 1 mA at rated voltage and a low forward voltage drop of 0.65 V at 3 A. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C.

Feature Summary

• Low forward voltage drop for high efficiency
• High surge current capability
• Molded plastic case with flange for heat dissipation

Applications

• DC-DC converters
• Free-wheeling diodes in power supplies
• Polarity protection circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '13' indicates tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status as lead-free variants may exist. Check datasheet for moisture sensitivity level handling requirements prior to assembly. Ensure the SMC footprint matches the target PCB design constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 V rating and 3 A continuous current are required in an SMC package. Compare forward voltage specifications against alternative packages like SMB or SMA if space permits. Consider thermal resistance values for heatsinking needs in high-power applications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the B3xx series of Schottky rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated, offering various voltage ratings from 20 V to 100 V. The CE suffix denotes the SMC (DO-214AB) surface-mount package, distinguishing it from the SMB (B350BQ) or SMA (B350A) variants within the same product family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' 50 V 3 A SMC Schottky diodes such as the SS350 or equivalent parts from Vishay or ON Semiconductor. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance metrics before substitution.
