B230Q-13-F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The B230Q-13-F is a Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, rated for 30 V DC reverse voltage and 2 A average rectified current in a Surface Mount SMB (DO-214AA) package. This component is classified as Active product status and is qualified to AEC-Q101 automotive standards. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or packaging format preferences while maintaining identical functional specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the B230Q-13-F are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

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

Packaging Format Consideration: Substitutes may differ in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®) without affecting electrical performance or mechanical fit, as both formats deliver the same component in the identical DO-214AA SMB package.

Manufacturer Variation: Cross-manufacturer substitutes (such as Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division) are qualified when all electrical parameters and package specifications align within the defined tolerance ranges.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

B230-13-F (Diodes Incorporated): This substitute is a parametric equivalent to the B230Q-13-F with identical electrical specifications and operating temperature range. The primary difference is packaging format: B230-13-F is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format versus Tape & Reel for the main part. Both components share the same base product number (B230) and are manufactured by the same supplier. Selection of this substitute is appropriate when Cut Tape or Digi-Reel® packaging is compatible with assembly processes. Both parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

VS-20BQ030-M3/5BT (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division): This cross-manufacturer substitute meets the core electrical requirements: 30 V reverse voltage, 2 A average rectified current, Schottky technology, and identical DO-214AA SMB package. The forward voltage specification is 470 mV @ 2 A, which is lower than the 500 mV maximum of the main part, indicating improved efficiency characteristics. The operating temperature range is -55°C ~ 150°C, which is narrower at the lower bound compared to the B230Q-13-F (-65°C ~ 150°C). This substitute is suitable for applications where the -55°C minimum junction temperature meets system requirements. All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B230-13-F be used as a direct replacement for B230Q-13-F?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, share identical electrical specifications (30 V, 2 A, Schottky technology), and use the same DO-214AA SMB package. The difference is packaging format: B230Q-13-F is supplied in Tape & Reel, while B230-13-F is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®. Component performance and PCB mounting are identical.

Q: What is the key difference between the Diodes Incorporated and Vishay substitutes?

A: The Vishay VS-20BQ030-M3/5BT meets all core electrical parameters (30 V, 2 A, Schottky, DO-214AA SMB) but has a lower forward voltage specification (470 mV @ 2 A versus 500 mV @ 2 A) and a narrower operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 150°C versus -65°C ~ 150°C). Selection depends on whether the application requires the full -65°C lower temperature limit.

Q: Are all three parts qualified to the same compliance standards?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and maintain Active product status. The B230Q-13-F and B230-13-F are both AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive applications. Compliance verification for the Vishay part should be confirmed against specific application requirements.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® are distribution formats only. The component itself—the DO-214AA SMB package—is identical, and electrical performance is unchanged.

Q: Can the Vishay substitute be used in applications requiring the full -65°C to 150°C temperature range?

A: The Vishay VS-20BQ030-M3/5BT is rated for -55°C to 150°C. If the application requires operation at temperatures below -55°C, the Diodes Incorporated parts (B230Q-13-F or B230-13-F) must be used, as both support -65°C minimum junction temperature.
