S5BC-13

Single Diodes Overview

The S5BC-13 is a standard recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and a 5 A average forward current rating. The device utilizes an SMC (DO-214AB) surface-mount package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.15 V at 5 A and a maximum reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 1000 V. It supports a junction temperature range from -65°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction for enhanced reliability
• Low forward voltage drop with high current capability
• Surge overload rating up to 100 A peak

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Free-wheeling diode applications in inductive loads
• DC-DC converter circuits requiring standard recovery characteristics

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements against your design specifications, as variants like S5BC-13-F may exist with identical electrical parameters but different packaging or compliance markings. Confirm RoHS status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability fluctuates. Ensure the SMC package footprint matches your PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V blocking voltage and 5 A continuous current are required in a compact surface-mount form factor. It serves as a suitable replacement for through-hole equivalents in space-constrained designs. Consider the 1.15 V forward voltage drop for thermal management calculations in high-efficiency applications where standard recovery speed is sufficient.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the S5M series of surface mount glass passivated rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. The series offers various voltage ratings including 50 V, 100 V, and higher options, all sharing the robust SMC package. These components are designed to replace bulkier axial-leaded diodes while maintaining similar performance metrics for industrial and consumer electronics.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

The S5BC-13-F is a verified equivalent variant within the same product family, offering identical electrical specifications. Other manufacturers' SMC packaged 100 V 5 A standard recovery diodes may serve as functional substitutes if pinout compatibility and thermal ratings are confirmed.
