SB560-B

Single Diodes Overview

The SB560-B is a 5.0A Schottky Barrier Rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated in the DO-201AD through-hole package. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 60V and an average rectified output current of 5.0A. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.67V at 5.0A and supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 150A. Operating junction temperatures range from -65°C to +150°C, with thermal resistance values of 25°C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 8°C/W (junction-to-lead).

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Guard ring die construction provides transient protection.
• Epitaxial silicon construction ensures high efficiency and low power loss.
• High surge capability rated to 150A peak for robust performance.

Single Diodes Applications

• Low voltage, high frequency inverters

• Polarity protection circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '-B' corresponds to bulk packaging containing 500 units per container as defined in the manufacturer's ordering information table. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance standards, noting any applicable exemptions for glass or high-temperature solder materials referenced in the directive annex notes.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring a 60V blocking voltage and 5A continuous current handling. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified -65°C to +150°C operating temperature range. Consider derating the current by 20% if the load is capacitive rather than resistive or inductive.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the SB520-SB560 series of Schottky Barrier Rectifiers. All variants share identical mechanical data, including the DO-201AD molded plastic case and bright tin plated leads. The series differentiates primarily by peak repetitive reverse voltage ratings ranging from 20V to 60V while maintaining consistent current capabilities.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Other parts within the SB520-SB560 series may serve as substitutes if voltage ratings align with circuit requirements. Verify that alternative components maintain the same DO-201AD footprint and lead configuration for direct compatibility.

Single Diodes FAQ

How does the load type affect the current rating?

For capacitive loads, the average forward current must be derated by 20% compared to resistive or inductive loads.

What is the typical total capacitance at zero bias?

The typical total capacitance for the SB560 is approximately 100pF at a reverse voltage of 0V and a junction temperature of 25°C.
