SB260S-E3/54

Single Diodes Overview

The SB260S-E3/54 is a Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V and an average forward rectified current rating of 2 A. The device utilizes a DO-204AL (DO-41) axial through-hole package. Key electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 680 mV at 2 A and a maximum reverse leakage current of 500 µA at 60 V. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Schottky technology for low forward voltage drop and high switching efficiency
• Axial leaded construction in a DO-204AL package for through-hole mounting
• High surge current capability suitable for general-purpose rectification

Single Diodes Applications

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

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E3/54 against official Vishay documentation to confirm RoHS compliance and packaging details. Ensure the DO-204AL package variant matches the design requirements, as other suffixes may indicate different mechanical or environmental specifications. Cross-reference with authorized distributors to confirm current availability status.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 60 V reverse voltage rating and 2 A continuous current are required in an axial package. Consider the 680 mV forward voltage drop for thermal management calculations. Verify that the 500 µA leakage current at rated voltage meets the circuit's standby power constraints compared to standard PN junction alternatives.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the SB2xx series of Schottky rectifiers from Vishay. These devices are designed for low-loss, high-efficiency rectification applications. The series typically offers various voltage ratings and package options, with the SB260S-E3/54 specifically providing a 60 V rating in the DO-41 axial form factor.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents such as the SB260-E3/54 if the DO-204AC package is acceptable instead of DO-204AL. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substituting with parts from other manufacturers.
