S5BG-M3/I

Single Diodes Overview

The S5BG-M3/I is a glass passivated standard rectifier manufactured by Vishay. It features a single configuration in a DO-214AA-2 (SMA) surface-mount package. The device supports a maximum average forward current of 5 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 1 V, a peak forward surge current of 90 A, and a maximum reverse current of 39 uA. The junction recovery time is specified at 2.5 us. It operates within a temperature range of -55 C to +150 C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction for enhanced reliability
• Controlled avalanche characteristics for rugged operation
• Low leakage current performance
• High forward surge capability

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Freewheeling diode applications
• Reverse battery protection circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /I against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC compliance requirements for your assembly process. Confirm that the DO-214AA-2 footprint matches your PCB design guidelines before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5 A continuous current rating and 400 V blocking voltage are required in a compact SMA package. Consider the 2.5 us recovery time for standard frequency applications rather than high-speed switching. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 150 C maximum junction temperature limit and the 1 V forward voltage drop at rated current.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's eSMP series of high current density standard avalanche surface mount rectifiers. The series is designed for automated placement and offers a low profile typical height of 1.1 mm. These devices are qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, making them suitable for automotive applications requiring robust performance under varying thermal conditions.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay SMA packages such as the S5G or S5H series for different voltage ratings. Verify pinout compatibility with DO-214AA-2 footprints when substituting with generic SMA rectifiers.
