B360-13 Schottky Diode 60V 3A SMC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The B360-13 is a Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, rated for 60V DC reverse voltage and 3A average rectified current in a surface mount SMC (DO-214AB) package. This part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, necessitating identification of equivalent and substitute components for ongoing design support and procurement.

The B360-13 operates across a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and features fast recovery characteristics with reverse recovery time ≤500ns for currents >200mA. The device exhibits a forward voltage drop of 700mV at 3A and reverse leakage current of 500µA at 60V.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the B360-13 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60V
Current - Average Rectified (Io): 3A minimum
Technology: Schottky
Mounting Type: Surface Mount

Package Compatibility Categories:

Direct Package Match (DO-214AB/SMC): Parts maintaining identical package footprint and pinout
Alternative Package (SOD-128): Parts with different surface mount package requiring PCB layout modification
Alternative Package (SMA/DO-214AC): Parts with different surface mount package requiring PCB layout modification

Substitute parts are grouped by package type because PCB layout compatibility depends on package selection. Forward voltage (Vf), reverse leakage current, and capacitance parameters vary among substitutes but remain within acceptable operating ranges for Schottky rectifier applications at the specified voltage and current ratings.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Replacement (DO-214AB/SMC Package, No PCB Modification Required):

The following parts provide direct functional and mechanical replacement for the B360-13 with identical package footprint:

B360-13-F (Diodes Incorporated): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Identical electrical specifications to B360-13. Recommended for designs requiring RoHS compliance upgrade from the original discontinued part.
B360Q-13-F (Diodes Incorporated): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability.
CDBC360-G (Comchip Technology): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Manufacturer-recommended equivalent with identical voltage and current ratings.
STPS3L60S (STMicroelectronics): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Identical electrical specifications to B360-13 with lower reverse leakage current (55µA vs. 500µA).
STPS5L60S (STMicroelectronics): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Rated for 5A average rectified current, providing higher current capability in the same DO-214AB/SMC package. Forward voltage is 520mV at 5A.

Alternative Package Options (PCB Layout Modification Required):

PMEG6030ELPX, PMEG6030ETPX, PMEG6030EVPX (Nexperia USA Inc.): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance in SOD-128 package. These parts require PCB layout redesign due to different package footprint. Forward voltage characteristics vary: 670mV, 530mV, and 475mV respectively at 3A.
SS36 (MDD): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance in SMA (DO-214AC) package. Requires PCB layout redesign due to different package footprint.

Not Recommended:

SK36-TP (Micro Commercial Co): Product status is Obsolete. While ROHS3 compliant, obsolete status indicates limited future availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B360-13-F be used as a direct replacement for B360-13?

A: Yes. B360-13-F is a direct replacement with identical electrical specifications (60V, 3A, 700mV forward voltage) and package (DO-214AB/SMC). No PCB modifications are required. B360-13-F is active and ROHS3 compliant, addressing the discontinued status of the original part.

Q: What is the difference between B360-13-F and B360Q-13-F?

A: Both parts have identical electrical specifications and package. B360Q-13-F includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, making it suitable for automotive applications requiring enhanced reliability testing and traceability.

Q: Can STPS5L60S replace B360-13 in all applications?

A: STPS5L60S maintains the same 60V voltage rating and DO-214AB/SMC package as B360-13. However, it is rated for 5A average rectified current versus 3A for B360-13. This higher current rating does not prevent substitution in circuits designed for 3A operation. The forward voltage is 520mV at 5A, which differs from B360-13's 700mV at 3A. Verify that the lower forward voltage drop does not affect circuit performance.

Q: Why do PMEG6030 variants have different forward voltages?

A: PMEG6030ELPX, PMEG6030ETPX, and PMEG6030EVPX are different variants of the PMEG6030 series with varying forward voltage characteristics (670mV, 530mV, and 475mV respectively at 3A). These variants represent different performance grades within the same voltage and current rating. Selection depends on circuit requirements for forward voltage drop and power dissipation.

Q: Can I use SS36 instead of B360-13?

A: SS36 meets the voltage (60V) and current (3A) requirements but uses a different package (SMA/DO-214AC) compared to B360-13 (SMC/DO-214AB). PCB layout modification is required. SS36 is active and ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What does "Fast Recovery ≤500ns, >200mA (Io)" mean?

A: This specification indicates that the diode exhibits fast recovery characteristics with reverse recovery time not exceeding 500 nanoseconds for reverse currents greater than 200mA. This parameter is consistent across all substitute parts listed.

Q: Is the B360-13 RoHS compliant?

A: No. The original B360-13 is RoHS non-compliant. For RoHS-compliant designs, use B360-13-F, B360Q-13-F, CDBC360-G, STPS3L60S, STPS5L60S, PMEG6030 variants, SK36-TP, or SS36, all of which are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the maximum junction temperature difference between B360-13 and its substitutes?

A: B360-13 operates to 150°C maximum junction temperature. PMEG6030 variants and STPS5L60S operate to 175°C maximum, providing higher temperature margin. STPS3L60S and CDBC360-G operate to 150°C maximum, matching B360-13. Verify that circuit thermal design accommodates the selected part's maximum junction temperature rating.
