B550C-13-F

Overview

The B550C-13-F is a Schottky rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, designed for surface mount applications in the SMC (DO-214AB) package. It features a repetitive reverse voltage of 50 V and an average forward current rating of 5 A. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 700 mV at rated current and supports a forward surge current of 100 A. Operating temperatures range from -55 °C to +125 °C, with a maximum reverse leakage current of 500 µA.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon planar construction for robust performance
• Features low forward voltage drop to enhance efficiency
• Designed for high reliability and automated assembly processes
• Compliant with RoHS standards and halogen-free

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Free-wheeling diodes in DC-DC converters
• Reverse polarity protection circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '13-F' corresponds to the standard tape and reel packaging configuration as defined by the manufacturer. Confirm that the SMC footprint matches the target PCB design constraints. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by the end application specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5 A current rating and 50 V blocking capability are required in a compact surface mount form factor. Consider the thermal management requirements associated with the SMC package and the specified junction temperature limits during circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the B520C/B560C series of Schottky rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling capabilities in the SMC package, providing designers with standardized options for different voltage levels.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include B520C-13-F (20 V), B540C-13-F (40 V), and B560C-13-F (60 V), provided the voltage rating meets the circuit requirements.
