B230BE-13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The B230BE-13 is a Schottky rectifier diode rated for 30 V DC reverse voltage and 2 A average rectified current in a Surface Mount SMB (DO-214AA) package. This part is classified as Obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent and substitute components for ongoing design support and procurement. Active alternatives with identical or compatible electrical and mechanical specifications are available from multiple manufacturers.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the B230BE-13 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 30 V
Current - Average Rectified (Io): 2 A
Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 500 mV @ 2 A
Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500 ns, > 200 mA (Io)
Package / Case: DO-214AA, SMB
Mounting Type: Surface Mount
Technology: Schottky

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in secondary parameters such as reverse leakage current, capacitance, and operating temperature range do not preclude substitution when the primary performance criteria are satisfied.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

B230-13-F (Diodes Incorporated): This part is the direct manufacturer equivalent from Diodes Incorporated and carries Active product status. It maintains identical electrical specifications to the B230BE-13 across all critical parameters. The extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C) provides additional thermal margin. This part is recommended as the primary replacement for the obsolete B230BE-13.

SK23-AU_R1_000A1 (Panjit International Inc.): This parametric equivalent meets all core electrical and mechanical requirements. It carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade components. Product status is Active with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

SK23_R1_00001 (Panjit International Inc.): This parametric equivalent also meets all core electrical and mechanical requirements and carries Active product status. Capacitance specification is not provided for this variant. Both Panjit alternatives are suitable for designs where multi-source qualification is required.

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and available in Surface Mount SMB (DO-214AA) packaging, ensuring direct mechanical and thermal compatibility with the original B230BE-13 footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B230-13-F be used as a direct replacement for B230BE-13?

A: Yes. The B230-13-F meets all critical electrical specifications: 30 V reverse voltage, 2 A average rectified current, 500 mV forward voltage at 2 A, and fast recovery switching characteristics. Both use identical DO-214AA SMB packaging. The B230-13-F is Active status and recommended for new designs.

Q: What is the difference between the Diodes Incorporated and Panjit alternatives?

A: Both manufacturers provide parts meeting the same core electrical specifications. The Panjit SK23 series parts carry AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Diodes Incorporated B230-13-F offers an extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C versus -55°C to 150°C). Selection depends on application requirements and supplier availability.

Q: Are there differences in reverse leakage current between these parts?

A: Yes. The B230BE-13 specifies 100 µA @ 30 V, the B230-13-F specifies 500 µA @ 30 V, and both Panjit parts specify 90 µA @ 30 V. These variations remain within acceptable ranges for Schottky rectifier applications and do not affect substitution eligibility based on the provided specifications.

Q: Do all substitute parts use the same package?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use DO-214AA SMB surface mount packaging, ensuring identical PCB footprint compatibility and thermal characteristics with the B230BE-13.

Q: What is the significance of the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating?

A: The substitute parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling. This provides operational flexibility compared to parts with higher MSL ratings.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, within the scope of the provided electrical and mechanical specifications. All substitute parts maintain the same voltage rating, current rating, forward voltage drop, switching speed, and package configuration as the B230BE-13.
