Engineering Selection Recommendations

B290-13-F Selection Criteria: The B290-13-F is an Active product with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. This part is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging formats. The B290-13-F is suitable for applications requiring standard-grade Schottky rectifier diodes with the specified electrical and thermal characteristics. This variant provides the highest inventory availability at 31,525 pieces.

B290Q-13-F Selection Criteria: The B290Q-13-F is an Active product with Automotive grade qualification and AEC-Q101 certification. This part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The B290Q-13-F is designated for automotive and mission-critical applications requiring formal qualification standards. This variant is appropriate when design specifications mandate automotive-grade components or AEC-Q101 compliance.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by Diodes Incorporated and share identical electrical performance with the obsolete B290BE-13. Selection between B290-13-F and B290Q-13-F depends on application requirements, packaging logistics, and compliance mandates rather than electrical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B290-13-F and B290Q-13-F be used interchangeably with B290BE-13?

A: Both B290-13-F and B290Q-13-F meet all electrical and mechanical specifications of the B290BE-13. They share identical voltage ratings (90 V), current ratings (2 A), forward voltage characteristics (790 mV @ 2 A), and package format (DO-214AA, SMB). Direct substitution is electrically valid for both parts.

Q: What is the difference between B290-13-F and B290Q-13-F?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and qualification level. B290-13-F is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® formats for standard applications. B290Q-13-F is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format and carries Automotive grade designation with AEC-Q101 qualification. Both parts have identical electrical characteristics.

Q: Why is the B290BE-13 listed as Obsolete?

A: The B290BE-13 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Active equivalent parts (B290-13-F and B290Q-13-F) are available to support ongoing production and maintenance requirements.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: Both B290-13-F and B290Q-13-F are ROHS3 Compliant. B290-13-F is REACH Affected, while B290Q-13-F is REACH Unaffected. Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification and HTSUS code 8541.10.0080.

Q: What is the capacitance difference between B290BE-13 and the substitutes?

A: The B290BE-13 has 70pF capacitance at 4V, 1MHz. Both B290-13-F and B290Q-13-F have 75pF capacitance at the same conditions. This 5pF difference does not affect electrical equivalence for standard rectifier applications.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for high-volume production?

A: B290-13-F offers the highest inventory availability (31,525 pieces) and is suitable for standard production applications. B290Q-13-F (962 pieces) is appropriate when automotive qualification is required.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges identical?

A: All three parts share the same operating temperature range: -65°C to 150°C junction temperature.
