B550C-13-F-2477

Single Diodes Overview

The B550C-13-F is a Schottky rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, designed for surface mount applications. It features a single diode configuration within an SMC (DO-214AB) package. The device supports a repetitive reverse voltage of 50 V and a forward current of 5 A. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 700 mV at rated current and a reverse current of 500 uA. It withstands a forward surge current of 100 A and operates reliably between -55 C and +125 C junction temperature.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon Schottky technology to achieve low forward voltage drop and high efficiency.
• Engineered with a robust SMC surface mount package for reliable thermal performance.
• Designed to handle high surge currents suitable for demanding power supply environments.

Single Diodes Applications

• DC-DC converters
• Power factor correction circuits
• Free-wheeling rectification in low voltage DC supplies

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against manufacturer documentation to confirm exact packaging and tape specifications. Ensure the component meets required RoHS and REACH compliance standards for the target market. Confirm that the SMC package dimensions align with the intended PCB footprint design constraints before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 V rating and 5 A continuous current capability are required in a compact surface mount form factor. Consider the 700 mV forward voltage drop for thermal management calculations in low voltage applications. Verify that the operating temperature range of -55 C to +125 C meets the environmental requirements of the end equipment.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the B520C/CQ through B560C/CQ series of Schottky rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling and package styles. The B550C variant specifically targets 50 V applications within this standardized product line.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering SMC packaged 50 V 5 A Schottky diodes. Ensure pinout compatibility and equivalent electrical parameters such as forward voltage and reverse leakage current are matched for direct substitution.
