Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the B220AE-13 is determined by equivalence in the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 20 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 2 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 500 mV @ 2 A
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Technology: Schottky

Mechanical Specifications:

• Package / Case: DO-214AC, SMA
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

The B220A-13-F qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all primary electrical ratings and package specifications. Differences in secondary parameters such as reverse leakage current, capacitance, and operating temperature range do not preclude substitution when the primary electrical and mechanical requirements are satisfied.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The B220A-13-F is the direct substitute for the obsolete B220AE-13. Both components are manufactured by Diodes Incorporated and share identical primary electrical specifications and package configuration.

Product Status Consideration: The B220AE-13 is classified as obsolete, while the B220A-13-F maintains active production status. For new designs and ongoing production, the B220A-13-F is the appropriate selection.

Compliance Status: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification. The B220A-13-F is REACH Unaffected, whereas the B220AE-13 is REACH Affected. The B220A-13-F includes Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 designation, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

Inventory Availability: The B220A-13-F is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging formats with 21,767 pieces in stock, providing superior supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete B220AE-13.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the B220A-13-F directly replace the B220AE-13 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The B220A-13-F provides electrical and mechanical equivalence to the B220AE-13. Both components share identical voltage ratings (20V), current ratings (2A), forward voltage specifications (500 mV @ 2A), and package configuration (DO-214AC, SMA surface mount).

Q: What are the differences between the B220AE-13 and B220A-13-F?

A: The primary differences are product status and secondary electrical parameters. The B220AE-13 is obsolete; the B220A-13-F is active. The B220A-13-F exhibits higher reverse leakage current (500 µA vs. 100 µA @ 20V) and higher capacitance (200 pF vs. 93 pF @ 4V, 1MHz). The B220A-13-F also supports a wider operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C vs. -55°C to 150°C).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both components use the DO-214AC, SMA surface mount package. The B220A-13-F is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® formats, while the B220AE-13 packaging format is not specified in available documentation.

Q: Does the higher reverse leakage current of the B220A-13-F affect circuit performance?

A: The reverse leakage current difference (500 µA vs. 100 µA @ 20V) is a secondary parameter that does not affect the primary rectification function. Circuit design should account for the specified maximum reverse leakage of the selected component.

Q: Is the B220A-13-F suitable for applications requiring the full -55°C to 150°C temperature range?

A: The B220A-13-F supports -65°C to 150°C operation, which encompasses the -55°C to 150°C range of the B220AE-13. The B220A-13-F is suitable for applications requiring extended low-temperature operation to -65°C.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 rating on the B220A-13-F?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 indicates unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. This classification simplifies inventory management and reduces risk of moisture-related component degradation during storage.
