In an overheat protection circuit for power supply devices in the present invention, overheat protection is provided by using a Schottky barrier diode (SBD) in place of a dedicated thermosensor. The overheat protection circuit is designed to flow reverse leakage current Ir resulting from temperatures of the SBD thermally coupled with a rectifier diode to a photocoupler inside an output-voltage detecting circuit in a direct-current power supply device. Thereby, where the reverse leakage current of the SBD is increased (where temperatures of the rectifier diode are elevated due to overload), a feedback signal of the output-voltage detecting circuit is increased to decrease the output voltage, thereby the direct-current power supply device is protected from overheat.
