S6B

Single Diodes Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor S6B is a silicon standard recovery diode housed in a DO-4 (DO-203AA) stud mount package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and a continuous forward current rating of 6 A. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at 6 A and a thermal resistance from junction to case of 2.50 °C/W. It supports an operating temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C and includes high surge capability with a non-repetitive forward current rating of 167 A.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High surge current capability for robust transient handling
• Standard polarity configuration with the stud serving as the cathode terminal
• Not sensitive to electrostatic discharge events

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification circuits
• Power supply input stages
• Industrial control systems requiring stud-mounted components

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as variants such as S6B(R) indicate reversed polarity where the stud functions as the anode rather than the standard cathode configuration. Confirm that the DO-4 package dimensions align with the intended mounting hardware requirements. Ensure thermal management solutions account for the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance values under expected load conditions.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 100 V blocking voltage and 6 A continuous current capacity in a stud-mount form factor. Consider the S6D variant if a higher voltage rating of 200 V is necessary while maintaining identical current and thermal characteristics. Evaluate the thermal environment to ensure the junction temperature remains within the specified -55 °C to +150 °C operational limits during steady-state and surge operations.

Single Diodes Part Context

The S6B belongs to the S6B through S6JR series of silicon standard recovery diodes manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. This family utilizes a rugged DO-4 package designed for high-power stud mounting applications. The series spans various voltage ratings from 100 V to 600 V, providing standardized electrical parameters across the lineup for consistent design integration.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 100 V, 6 A stud-mount standard recovery diodes in the DO-4 package. Verify pinout compatibility, particularly regarding stud polarity, as some equivalents may default to anode-stud configurations. Cross-reference thermal resistance and forward voltage specifications to ensure equivalent performance in the target circuit.
