Product details
Overview
B560C-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 60 V, 5.0 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMC package, featuring 0.70 V max forward voltage at 5.0 A and 0.5 mA max reverse leakage at rated VR, optimized for polarity protection and freewheeling in DC/DC converters and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the B560C-13 datasheet, B560C-13 pinout, B560C-13 application, or B560C-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60 V reverse blocking capability, low VF for reduced conduction loss, SMC thermal performance (RθJT = 10 °C/W), and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating suitable for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses guard ring die construction to enhance transient robustness and suppress avalanche-induced failure during inductive switching events. Its low junction-to-terminal thermal resistance (10 °C/W) enables sustained 5.0 A operation with minimal heatsinking on standard PCB copper pads.
The device exhibits soft reverse recovery behavior with no minority-carrier storage, making it suitable for high-frequency switching (up to several MHz) in buck converters and OR-ing circuits. Total capacitance is 300 pF at 4 V reverse bias, supporting fast turn-off with predictable timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for DC bus or flyback clamp voltage |
| IO | 5.0 A - average rectified forward current at TA = +25°C; derated above 25°C per Figure 7 |
| VF Max | 0.70 V @ 5.0 A - forward voltage drop defining conduction loss (3.5 W max at full load) |
| IR Max | 0.5 mA @ 60 V, 25°C - reverse leakage limiting standby power loss in battery-backed or always-on circuits |
| RθJT | 10 °C/W - junction-to-terminal thermal resistance; enables direct thermal coupling to copper pour or heatsink pad |
| CT | 300 pF @ 4 V, 1 MHz - junction capacitance affecting high-frequency switching node ringing and EMI |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), molded plastic, UL 94V-0 rated, with cathode band marking. Dimensions: 6.22 × 7.11 × 3.18 mm (L × W × H). Weight: 0.21 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., switch node in buck converter or ground return path) |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked with band; ties to higher-potential rail (e.g., input VIN or output VOUT) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Improves surge immunity against repetitive line transients and inductive kickback without external TVS |
| Lead-free matte tin plating | Ensures solderability per MIL-STD-202 Method 208 and compatibility with Pb-free reflow profiles |
| JEDEC-qualified reliability | Validated per AEC-Q stress test standards for extended temperature operation (-55°C to +150°C) |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" design | Meets <900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb thresholds for environmentally regulated end equipment |
Applications
| DC/DC Converter Freewheeling | Polarity Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used as the low-loss freewheeling diode in non-synchronous buck converters operating at 100–500 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides continuous current path during high-side MOSFET off-time; conducts only when VANODE < VCATHODE. Use Value: 0.70 V VF reduces conduction loss by ~30% vs. comparable PN diodes, improving efficiency at 5 A output. | Use Scenario: Placed in series with power input to prevent damage from reverse battery connection or miswired adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Blocks reverse current flow while passing forward current with minimal voltage drop. Use Value: 60 V VRRM supports 48 V nominal systems with 20% margin; 0.5 mA IR avoids battery drain in standby. |
| OR-ing Diode for Redundant Supplies | Low-Voltage Inverter Output Rectification |
Use Scenario: Implements diode-OR functionality between two independent 12 V DC power sources in telecom shelf systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Enables automatic source selection without control logic; conducts only from higher-voltage supply. Use Value: Low VF ensures minimal voltage drop between input and output, preserving regulation accuracy across load range. | Use Scenario: Rectifies high-frequency AC output (e.g., 20 kHz square wave) from half-bridge inverters in portable medical pumps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Conducts during positive half-cycle; blocks during negative half-cycle with negligible recovery tail. Use Value: 300 pF CT minimizes capacitive loading on gate drivers; zero stored charge prevents cross-conduction risk. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS56-E3/57T (Vishay) | Same 60 V VRRM, 5 A IO, but VF = 0.72 V @ 5 A; RθJA = 55 °C/W vs. 50 °C/W for B560C-13 | Identical use in freewheeling and polarity protection; slightly higher thermal resistance requires larger copper area | Select if Vishay qualification or alternate sourcing is required; verify layout copper area meets derating curve |
| MBR560F (ON Semiconductor) | 60 V VRRM, 5 A IO, VF = 0.71 V @ 5 A; SOD-123FL package (smaller, lower IFSM = 50 A vs. 100 A) | Not suitable for high-surge environments (e.g., motor start-up); limited thermal mass for sustained 5 A loads | Prefer for space-constrained designs where surge immunity is secondary; avoid in industrial motor drives |
Compared with SS56-E3/57T and MBR560F, B560C-13 offers superior surge rating (100 A IFSM), tighter thermal resistance control (RθJT = 10 °C/W), and JEDEC-qualified reliability-making it preferred for industrial-grade 5 A rectification where robustness and thermal predictability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature and how is it maintained?
The B560C-13 has an operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. Sustained operation at 5.0 A requires thermal management via PCB copper pads (minimum 8.0 mm² per datasheet Note 5) to limit junction rise using its 10 °C/W RθJT. Derating begins above 25°C ambient per Figure 7.
Is B560C-13 suitable for automotive applications?
The B560C-13 is not automotive-qualified. Diodes offers the pin- and spec-compatible B560CQ variant, which is AEC-Q101 qualified and specified for –40°C to +150°C operation with enhanced process controls. Use B560CQ for automotive ECUs, body controllers, or ADAS power stages.
How does the guard ring structure improve reliability?
The guard ring die construction surrounds the active junction with a doped region that redistributes electric field during voltage transients, suppressing localized avalanche and preventing premature edge breakdown. This extends lifetime under repetitive 100 A surge conditions and improves robustness in inductive load switching.
Can B560C-13 replace a 1N5822 in existing designs?
Yes-B560C-13 matches 1N5822's 3 A rating and TO-220 footprint in function but differs in package (SMC vs. TO-220) and current rating (5 A vs. 3 A). Electrical specs (60 V, 0.7 V VF) are comparable. Layout change is required; thermal design must account for SMC's lower RθJA (50 °C/W vs. ~40 °C/W for TO-220 with heatsink).
