Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the B180AE-13 is determined by equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Voltage Rating: 80V DC reverse voltage (Vr) maximum
• Current Rating: 1A average rectified current (Io)
• Forward Voltage: 790 mV maximum at 1A forward current
• Recovery Speed: Fast recovery characteristic ≤ 500ns for currents > 200mA
• Package: DO-214AC / SMA surface mount configuration
• Technology: Schottky rectifier diode

The B180-13-F is identified as a direct substitute based on matching all primary electrical ratings and package specifications. Both parts share the same base product number (B180) and are manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. The primary distinction is product status: B180AE-13 is obsolete while B180-13-F is active, with differences in packaging format (bulk versus tape & reel) and secondary electrical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

B180-13-F is the appropriate substitute for B180AE-13 based on the following factors:

1. Product Status: B180-13-F is active and currently manufactured, whereas B180AE-13 is obsolete. For new designs and ongoing procurement, B180-13-F ensures supply continuity and manufacturer support.

2. Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical primary electrical specifications (80V, 1A, 790mV forward voltage, fast recovery characteristics), ensuring functional compatibility in circuit applications.

3. Compliance: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. B180-13-F carries REACH Unaffected status, providing regulatory advantage over the REACH Affected B180AE-13.

4. Package Compatibility: Both use DO-214AC / SMA surface mount packages, permitting direct PCB footprint compatibility.

5. Secondary Parameter Differences: B180-13-F exhibits higher reverse leakage current (500 µA vs. 200 µA) and higher junction capacitance (80 pF vs. 27 pF). These differences are within acceptable tolerances for standard rectifier applications but should be evaluated for high-frequency or low-leakage-critical circuits.

6. Temperature Range: B180-13-F supports extended lower temperature operation (-65°C vs. -55°C), providing broader thermal envelope coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B180-13-F directly replace B180AE-13 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical primary electrical ratings (80V, 1A, 790mV forward voltage) and the same DO-214AC / SMA package. Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible for standard rectifier applications.

Q: What is the difference between B180AE-13 and B180-13-F?

A: The parts are electrically equivalent in primary specifications. Key differences are: (1) B180AE-13 is obsolete; B180-13-F is active; (2) B180-13-F has higher reverse leakage (500 µA vs. 200 µA) and capacitance (80 pF vs. 27 pF); (3) B180-13-F supports lower junction temperature (-65°C vs. -55°C); (4) packaging format differs (bulk vs. tape & reel); (5) REACH compliance status differs.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts use the same DO-214AC / SMA surface mount package. The primary packaging difference is format: B180AE-13 is supplied in bulk, while B180-13-F is supplied in tape & reel format. This does not affect PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: Should I be concerned about the higher reverse leakage in B180-13-F?

A: The reverse leakage increase (200 µA to 500 µA at 80V) is a secondary parameter difference. For standard rectifier applications, this difference is within acceptable operating margins. Applications with strict leakage requirements should evaluate circuit impact.

Q: Does the higher capacitance of B180-13-F affect circuit performance?

A: B180-13-F exhibits higher junction capacitance (80 pF vs. 27 pF at 4V, 1MHz). This may affect high-frequency switching performance. Evaluate circuit requirements for switching frequency and transient response characteristics before substitution in frequency-sensitive applications.

Q: What is the significance of REACH compliance differences?

A: B180-13-F is REACH Unaffected, while B180AE-13 is REACH Affected. For applications subject to REACH regulations, B180-13-F provides regulatory compliance advantage and eliminates potential supply chain restrictions.

Q: Can I use B180-13-F in applications requiring the lower temperature limit of B180AE-13?

A: B180-13-F actually provides superior low-temperature performance with a -65°C minimum junction temperature compared to B180AE-13's -55°C. This extends operational capability to lower temperatures.
