B360CE-13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The B360CE-13 is a Schottky rectifier diode rated for 60 V DC reverse voltage and 3 A average rectified current in a Surface Mount SMC (DO-214AB) package. This component is classified as Obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts for ongoing design support and procurement. The B360CE-13 remains available in inventory (12,400 pieces) but is no longer in active production status. Locating functionally equivalent substitute parts ensures design continuity and supply chain reliability for applications requiring this diode specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the B360CE-13 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the Schottky rectifier diode category. The primary substitution criteria are:

Core Matching Parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 3 A
• Package / Case: DO-214AB, SMC
• Technology: Schottky
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 150°C

The B360-13-F qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical ratings for reverse voltage, average rectified current, package configuration, and operating temperature range. Both parts share the same base product number (B360) and are manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. The B360-13-F is currently in Active product status, making it suitable for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The B360-13-F is the direct substitute for the B360CE-13 based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts maintain identical voltage and current ratings, package configuration, and operating temperature specifications. The B360-13-F is currently in Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain support compared to the Obsolete B360CE-13.

Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and classified under ECCN EAR99, meeting regulatory requirements for commercial applications. The B360-13-F includes Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited) certification, indicating superior moisture handling characteristics suitable for standard storage and handling conditions.

Parameter variations between the two parts are limited to forward voltage drop (50 mV higher in B360-13-F), reverse leakage current (300 µA higher in B360-13-F), and junction capacitance (90 pF higher in B360-13-F). These differences remain within acceptable tolerances for Schottky rectifier applications and do not compromise functional equivalence for standard rectification circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the B360-13-F directly replace the B360CE-13 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The B360-13-F maintains identical voltage ratings (60 V), current ratings (3 A), package configuration (DO-214AB, SMC), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C). Both parts are Schottky rectifier diodes manufactured by Diodes Incorporated with identical mounting type (Surface Mount).

Q: What are the differences between B360CE-13 and B360-13-F?

A: The primary differences are product status and minor electrical parameter variations. The B360CE-13 is Obsolete; the B360-13-F is Active. Forward voltage drop is 50 mV higher in B360-13-F (700 mV vs. 650 mV @ 3 A). Reverse leakage current is 300 µA higher in B360-13-F (500 µA vs. 200 µA @ 60 V). Junction capacitance is 90 pF higher in B360-13-F (200 pF vs. 110 pF @ 4V, 1MHz).

Q: Are these parameter differences significant for circuit operation?

A: The parameter variations fall within normal manufacturing tolerances for Schottky rectifier diodes. Forward voltage drop differences of 50 mV are typical across diode families and do not affect basic rectification function. Reverse leakage and capacitance variations are acceptable for standard power supply and switching applications.

Q: What packaging options are available for the B360-13-F?

A: The B360-13-F is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging formats. Both maintain the DO-214AB, SMC package configuration suitable for automated surface mount assembly.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the B360CE-13 and B360-13-F are ROHS3 Compliant, meeting environmental and hazardous substance restrictions for commercial and industrial applications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: The B360CE-13 does not specify MSL rating. The B360-13-F is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling.

Q: Can I use B360-13-F in new designs?

A: Yes. The B360-13-F is in Active product status with 50,200 pieces in stock, making it suitable for new designs and long-term production requirements.
