Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the B380BE-13 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage Rating: 80V DC reverse voltage (Vr) maximum
• Current Rating: 3A average rectified current (Io)
• Forward Voltage: 790 mV maximum at 3A forward current
• Recovery Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns for currents > 200mA
• Package Type: DO-214AA SMB surface mount configuration
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 150°C junction temperature
• Technology: Schottky diode construction

The substitute part B380B-13-F meets all electrical specifications and maintains identical package and mounting characteristics. Substitution is valid when the application circuit does not depend on parameters that differ between the main part and substitute, specifically reverse leakage current and junction capacitance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The B380B-13-F is the direct parametric equivalent for the obsolete B380BE-13. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The B380B-13-F carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and supply chain continuity. The B380BE-13 is Obsolete and no longer manufactured.

Electrical Equivalence: All primary electrical specifications are identical, including voltage rating, current rating, forward voltage drop, and recovery speed. These parameters determine functional compatibility in rectification applications.

Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, supporting regulatory and trade requirements.

Secondary Parameter Differences: The B380B-13-F exhibits higher reverse leakage current (500 µA versus 150 µA at 80V) and slightly higher junction capacitance (120 pF versus 105 pF at 4V, 1MHz). These differences are within normal manufacturing variation for Schottky diodes and do not affect primary rectification function in standard applications.

Packaging: Both parts use identical DO-214AA SMB surface mount packages, ensuring mechanical and thermal compatibility with existing PCB designs and assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B380B-13-F be used as a direct replacement for B380BE-13 in all applications?

A: Yes, for applications where the primary function is rectification at 80V and 3A ratings. The B380B-13-F meets all critical electrical specifications. Applications sensitive to reverse leakage current or junction capacitance characteristics should evaluate the specified differences before implementation.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: Both parts use the DO-214AA SMB surface mount package. The primary difference is the supplier device package designation: B380BE-13 is supplied in standard packaging, while B380B-13-F is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This affects ordering and handling but not electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Why does the B380B-13-F have higher reverse leakage current?

A: Reverse leakage current variation is normal across manufacturing lots and part revisions of Schottky diodes. The B380B-13-F specification of 500 µA at 80V remains within acceptable limits for Schottky rectifier applications and does not indicate a defect or reduced performance.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0080) classifications. The B380B-13-F is REACH Unaffected, while the B380BE-13 is REACH Affected. For applications subject to REACH regulations, the B380B-13-F may offer simplified compliance documentation.

Q: What is the significance of the Active versus Obsolete product status?

A: Active status (B380B-13-F) indicates the part is currently manufactured and supported by Diodes Incorporated, with guaranteed availability and consistent specifications. Obsolete status (B380BE-13) indicates the part is no longer manufactured. Substitution to an Active part ensures long-term supply chain reliability.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical DO-214AA SMB packages and surface mount configurations. PCB footprints, solder reflow profiles, and assembly processes are compatible. The Tape & Reel packaging of B380B-13-F is standard for automated assembly and does not affect on-board performance.
