B380CE-13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The B380CE-13 is a Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, rated for 80 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 new designs and ongoing production requirements. The obsolete status of the B380CE-13 requires sourcing from alternative part numbers that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status and improved supply chain availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the B380CE-13 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 80 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 3 A
• Package / Case: DO-214AB, SMC
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Technology: Schottky
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 790 mV @ 3 A (identical specification)
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io) (identical specification)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: Variation permitted within device characterization
• Capacitance @ Vr, F: Minor variation permitted within device characterization
• Operating Temperature - Junction: Variation permitted if minimum rating meets or exceeds -55°C and maximum rating meets or exceeds 150°C

The B380-13-F is the manufacturer-recommended substitute, sharing the same base product number (B380) and electrical ratings while offering active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: B380-13-F

The B380-13-F is the manufacturer-recommended equivalent for the B380CE-13. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The B380-13-F carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The B380CE-13 is obsolete and no longer in production.

Electrical Equivalence: The B380-13-F maintains identical voltage and current ratings (80 V, 3 A) and forward voltage characteristics (790 mV @ 3 A), ensuring functional compatibility in circuit applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts use identical packaging (DO-214AB, SMC) and surface mount mounting type, permitting direct PCB layout substitution without redesign.

Compliance Status: The B380-13-F is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, providing improved regulatory compliance compared to the REACH-affected B380CE-13.

Parameter Variations: The B380-13-F exhibits higher reverse leakage current (500 µA versus 150 µA @ 80 V) and slightly lower capacitance (100 pF versus 105 pF @ 4V, 1MHz). The maximum junction temperature rating is reduced from 150°C to 125°C. These variations remain within acceptable device characterization tolerances for Schottky rectifier diodes and do not preclude functional substitution in standard applications.

Supply Availability: The B380-13-F maintains significantly higher inventory levels (16,657 pieces) compared to the B380CE-13 (925 pieces), supporting production continuity and cost efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the B380-13-F directly replace the B380CE-13 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The B380-13-F is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the B380CE-13. Both components share identical voltage ratings (80 V), current ratings (3 A), forward voltage characteristics (790 mV @ 3 A), and package specifications (DO-214AB, SMC). Direct substitution on existing PCBs is permissible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the significance of the higher reverse leakage current in the B380-13-F?

A: The B380-13-F exhibits reverse leakage current of 500 µA @ 80 V compared to 150 µA @ 80 V in the B380CE-13. This variation falls within normal device characterization for Schottky rectifier diodes and does not affect functional performance in standard rectification applications. Circuit designers should verify leakage specifications against application requirements if reverse leakage is a critical design parameter.

Q: Does the reduced maximum junction temperature of the B380-13-F affect substitution suitability?

A: The B380-13-F maximum junction temperature is 125°C compared to 150°C for the B380CE-13. This reduction does not preclude substitution in applications where the junction temperature remains below 125°C during normal operation. Applications requiring sustained operation above 125°C junction temperature require thermal analysis to confirm compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the B380CE-13 and B380-13-F?

A: No. Both parts use identical packaging: DO-214AB, SMC (Surface Mount). The B380-13-F is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging formats, which are standard distribution methods for surface mount components and do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the compliance advantage of the B380-13-F?

A: The B380-13-F is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, providing improved regulatory compliance for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. The B380CE-13 is REACH affected, which may present compliance challenges in certain jurisdictions and applications.

Q: Why is the B380CE-13 classified as obsolete?

A: The B380CE-13 is no longer in active production by Diodes Incorporated. The B380-13-F serves as the active replacement, offering equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications with improved supply chain availability and regulatory compliance.

Q: Can the B380-13-F be used in high-temperature applications?

A: The B380-13-F is rated for junction temperatures up to 125°C. Applications requiring sustained operation above this temperature require thermal analysis and may necessitate alternative component selection. The B380CE-13 rating of 150°C maximum junction temperature does not provide additional margin due to its obsolete status and limited availability.
