B330AE-13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The B330AE-13 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 SMA package (DO-214AC). This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing design requirements and procurement needs. Equivalent parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, while substitute parts provide functional alternatives within acceptable parameter tolerances for the application category.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the B330AE-13 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 30 V
Package / Case: DO-214AC, SMA
Mounting Type: Surface Mount
Technology: Schottky
Operating Temperature Range: -55°C minimum to 150°C maximum

Current Rating Consideration: The B330AE-13 is rated for 2 A average rectified current. Substitute parts may exceed this rating (such as the B330A-13-F at 3 A) and remain functionally compatible, as higher current-rated devices operate within the electrical requirements of lower-current applications.

Electrical Performance Parameters: Forward voltage, reverse leakage current, and capacitance specifications determine functional equivalence. Parts meeting or exceeding the B330AE-13 specifications in these parameters are suitable substitutes.

Compliance and Status: Active product status and RoHS3 compliance are preferred for new designs. The B330AE-13 is obsolete; therefore, active alternatives are recommended for procurement continuity.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Manufacturer Substitute - B330A-13-F: The B330A-13-F is manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, the original manufacturer of the B330AE-13. This part maintains identical reverse voltage (30 V) and package specifications (DO-214AC, SMA) while providing increased current capacity (3 A versus 2 A). The B330A-13-F is active in production status with AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and MSL 1 rating, making it suitable for applications requiring continuity with the original manufacturer. Forward voltage and switching speed specifications are equivalent.

Manufacturer Recommended Substitute - B230LA-M3/61T: The B230LA-M3/61T is recommended by Vishay General Semiconductor as a direct functional equivalent. This part matches the B330AE-13 in reverse voltage (30 V), current rating (2 A), forward voltage (500 mV @ 2 A), and package type (DO-214AC, SMA). The B230LA-M3/61T offers an extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C) and is active in production with RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Parametric Equivalents - SK23A and SK23AH: The SK23A (Good-Ark Semiconductor) and SK23AH (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) are parametric equivalents matching the B330AE-13 in reverse voltage (30 V), current rating (2 A), package (DO-214AC, SMA), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C). Both parts are active in production with AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and MSL 1 rating. The SK23A specifies forward voltage at 550 mV @ 2 A, which is 50 mV higher than the B330AE-13 specification. The SK23AH matches the B330AE-13 forward voltage specification at 500 mV @ 2 A.

Selection Criteria: For applications requiring manufacturer continuity, select B330A-13-F. For applications requiring exact current rating match with active production status, select B230LA-M3/61T, SK23A, or SK23AH. All substitute parts meet RoHS3 compliance requirements and provide MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings suitable for standard storage and handling conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the B330A-13-F replace the B330AE-13 in all applications?

A: The B330A-13-F is a direct substitute from the same manufacturer with identical reverse voltage (30 V) and package specifications (DO-214AC, SMA). The increased current rating (3 A versus 2 A) does not prevent substitution in applications designed for 2 A operation. Forward voltage and switching speed specifications are equivalent. The B330A-13-F is active in production, addressing the obsolescence of the B330AE-13.

Q: What is the difference between the B230LA-M3/61T and the B330A-13-F?

A: Both parts meet the B330AE-13 electrical specifications (30 V reverse voltage, 2 A current rating, 500 mV forward voltage, fast recovery switching). The B230LA-M3/61T is manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor and offers an extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C versus -55°C to 150°C). The B330A-13-F is manufactured by Diodes Incorporated and provides higher current capacity (3 A). Both are active in production with RoHS3 compliance.

Q: Are SK23A and SK23AH interchangeable with the B330AE-13?

A: Both SK23A and SK23AH are parametric equivalents with matching reverse voltage (30 V), current rating (2 A), package (DO-214AC, SMA), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C). The SK23AH matches the B330AE-13 forward voltage specification exactly at 500 mV @ 2 A. The SK23A specifies 550 mV @ 2 A forward voltage, which is within acceptable tolerance for Schottky rectifier applications. Both parts are active in production with AEC-Q101 automotive qualification.

Q: Does package compatibility affect substitution?

A: All substitute parts use the DO-214AC (SMA) surface mount package, identical to the B330AE-13. Package footprint, lead spacing, and mounting requirements are equivalent. No PCB layout modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant. The B330A-13-F, SK23A, and SK23AH carry AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. The B230LA-M3/61T does not specify automotive qualification but maintains RoHS3 compliance. All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: Why is the B330AE-13 listed as obsolete?

A: The B330AE-13 is classified as obsolete by Diodes Incorporated. Active alternatives from the same manufacturer (B330A-13-F) and other qualified suppliers (B230LA-M3/61T, SK23A, SK23AH) are available to support ongoing design and procurement requirements.

Q: Can I use a higher current-rated part like the B330A-13-F in place of the 2 A B330AE-13?

A: Yes. The B330A-13-F is rated for 3 A average rectified current, exceeding the B330AE-13 specification of 2 A. In applications requiring 2 A operation, the higher-rated device operates within its safe operating area and provides functional equivalence. All other electrical parameters (reverse voltage, forward voltage, switching speed) are equivalent or superior.

Q: What is the significance of the reverse leakage current difference between B330AE-13 and substitute parts?

A: The B330AE-13 specifies 150 µA reverse leakage at 30 V, while substitute parts specify 500 µA. This difference reflects manufacturing process variations among suppliers. Both values are within acceptable limits for Schottky rectifier applications in this voltage and current class. The higher leakage in substitute parts does not prevent functional substitution in standard rectification circuits.
