SB560/4

Single Diodes Overview

The SB560/4 is a Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage of 60 V and an average forward rectified current of 5 A. The device utilizes a DO-201AD axial through-hole package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage drop of 650 mV at 5 A and a maximum reverse leakage current of 500 µA at 60 V. The component supports a junction temperature range from -65°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Guardring structure provides enhanced overvoltage protection capabilities
• Extremely fast switching characteristics suitable for high-frequency applications
• Low forward voltage drop minimizes power loss during conduction
• High forward surge capability ensures robustness against transient currents

Single Diodes Applications

• High frequency rectification circuits
• Free-wheeling diodes in DC-DC converters
• Polarity protection in power supply inputs
• General purpose rectification in consumer electronics

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /4 indicates the bulk packaging format, as standard variants often use tape and reel or cut tape. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status directly with the manufacturer datasheet. Ensure the DO-201AD axial lead configuration matches the target PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 60 V rating and 5 A continuous current capacity are required in an axial package. Compare the 650 mV forward voltage drop against alternative Schottky devices to optimize thermal performance. Consider the 220 A surge current rating for applications involving significant inrush currents or startup transients.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the SB520 thru SB560 series of Schottky Barrier Rectifiers. The series offers various voltage ratings from 20 V to 60 V while maintaining a consistent 5 A current handling capability. The SB560 variant specifically targets 60 V reverse voltage applications within this standardized product family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include SB560-E3/54 and SB560A-E3/73 from Vishay. Other manufacturers offering equivalent 60 V 5 A Schottky rectifiers in DO-201AD packages may serve as alternatives if pinout and electrical specifications align.
