B530CE-13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The B530CE-13 is a Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, rated for 30V DC reverse voltage and 5A 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 requirements and procurement needs. The B530CE-13 remains functionally viable but is no longer in active production, making substitute parts essential for new designs and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the B530CE-13 is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Schottky rectifier diode category. The primary substitution criteria are:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 30V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 5A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 550 mV @ 5A
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Technology: Schottky

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package / Case: DO-214AB, SMC
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

Compliance Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The B530C-13-F qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical ratings, package configuration, and compliance certifications. Variations in reverse leakage current and capacitance remain within acceptable tolerances for Schottky rectifier applications and do not preclude substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The B530C-13-F is the direct substitute for the obsolete B530CE-13. Both components share identical electrical ratings, package configuration, and RoHS3 compliance status. The B530C-13-F is currently in active production with significantly higher inventory availability (17,065 pcs vs. 905 pcs), ensuring supply chain continuity.

The B530C-13-F is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited), providing superior handling and storage characteristics compared to the B530CE-13. The operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C is specified for the B530C-13-F, supporting extended thermal applications.

Minor parameter variations exist in reverse leakage current (500 µA vs. 200 µA) and capacitance (300 pF vs. 340 pF). These variations are within normal manufacturing tolerances for Schottky rectifier diodes and do not impact functional equivalence in standard rectification applications.

Selection of the B530C-13-F is appropriate for all applications previously served by the B530CE-13, with the added benefit of active product status and improved supply availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the B530C-13-F directly replace the B530CE-13 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The B530C-13-F is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the B530CE-13. Both components feature identical voltage ratings (30V), current ratings (5A), forward voltage drop (550 mV @ 5A), and package configuration (DO-214AB, SMC). Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the significance of the higher reverse leakage current in the B530C-13-F?

A: The B530C-13-F exhibits 500 µA reverse leakage at 30V compared to 200 µA for the B530CE-13. This difference reflects normal manufacturing variation within Schottky rectifier specifications and does not preclude substitution. Applications with strict leakage requirements should evaluate circuit-level impact, but standard rectification applications are unaffected.

Q: How do the capacitance values differ between these parts?

A: The B530C-13-F has 300 pF capacitance at 4V, 1MHz, compared to 340 pF for the B530CE-13. This 40 pF reduction is within normal tolerance bands for Schottky diodes and does not impact performance in standard power rectification circuits.

Q: What packaging differences exist between the B530CE-13 and B530C-13-F?

A: Both components use the DO-214AB SMC surface mount package. The B530C-13-F is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, providing improved handling and storage stability compared to the B530CE-13. The physical package dimensions and PCB footprint are identical.

Q: Why is the B530CE-13 classified as obsolete?

A: The B530CE-13 is no longer in active production. The B530C-13-F serves as the active production equivalent, offering identical electrical performance with improved supply availability and current manufacturing support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant. The B530C-13-F is REACH Unaffected, while the B530CE-13 is REACH Affected. Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS codes (8541.10.0080).
