Product details
Overview
B560C-13-F 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 low-voltage, high-frequency DC/DC converters and polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the B560C-13-F datasheet, B560C-13-F pinout, B560C-13-F application, or B560C-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (60 V), average rectified output current (5.0 A), thermal resistance (10 °C/W junction-to-terminal), and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses guard ring die construction to enhance transient surge immunity and reduce risk of thermal runaway under repetitive overvoltage events. Its low VF (0.70 V max) and low IR (0.5 mA max at 25°C) support high-efficiency operation in 5–12 V input power rails.
The device is rated for continuous operation from –55°C to +150°C with 100 A non-repetitive peak forward surge capability (8.3 ms half-sine), and exhibits 300 pF typical junction capacitance at 4 V reverse bias - enabling use in switching frequencies up to several hundred kHz without excessive capacitive loss.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in flyback or freewheeling paths |
| 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 - low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in 5 V output buck converters |
| IR Max | 0.5 mA @ 60 V, 25°C - minimal standby leakage preserves battery life in always-on systems |
| RθJT | 10 °C/W - low junction-to-terminal thermal resistance supports direct PCB copper pad heatsinking |
| CT | 300 pF @ 4 V, 1 MHz - limits high-frequency displacement current in fast-switching SMPS |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), molded plastic, UL 94V-0 rated, with cathode band polarity marking and matte tin-plated terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck converter); requires minimum 2.0 mm² copper pour for thermal management |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse voltage reference | Marked with band or notch; ties to output rail or ground return path; serves as primary heat transfer interface to PCB |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Improves ESD and surge robustness without external TVS; validated per AEC-Q200 stress profiles |
| Lead-free, halogen-free "Green" finish | Meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity for reflow compatibility |
| Low thermal resistance (RθJT = 10 °C/W) | Enables 5.0 A operation with ≤50°C junction rise on 8 mm² 0.033 mm thick copper pad |
| Automated assembly compatibility | SMC footprint and matte tin plating ensure consistent solder joint formation in high-speed pick-and-place lines |
Applications
| DC/DC Converter Output Rectification | Polarity Protection Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used as secondary-side synchronous rectifier replacement in 5 V/3 A isolated flyback converter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve conducting only during positive half-cycle of transformer secondary voltage. Use Value: 0.70 V VF reduces conduction loss by ~35% vs. standard PN diode, improving full-load efficiency from 84% to 89%. | Use Scenario: Placed in series with main VBUS line to prevent damage from reversed input connection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-biased blocking element that conducts only when input polarity is correct. Use Value: 60 V VRRM provides 2× margin over 24 V nominal supply; 0.5 mA IR ensures <1 µW standby dissipation. |
| Freewheeling Diode in Motor Drive | Low-Voltage Power OR'ing |
Use Scenario: Connected across brushed DC motor winding to clamp inductive kickback during PWM turn-off. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast recovery path for stored magnetic energy; operates in discontinuous conduction mode. Use Value: 100 A IFSM rating handles 10× stall current surges; 300 pF CT minimizes ringing during 20 kHz PWM edge transitions. | Use Scenario: Dual-input 5 V power system where two sources (USB + battery) feed common rail via back-to-back diodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Forward-biased conduction selector ensuring only higher-voltage source powers load. Use Value: Low VF ensures <35 mV voltage drop difference between sources, enabling precise priority arbitration. |
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 (max @ 5 A); RθJA = 55 °C/W vs. 50 °C/W for B560C | Identical freewheeling and OR'ing use cases; slightly higher conduction loss at full load | Select if Vishay's packaging logistics or long-term supply agreement aligns with procurement strategy |
| MBR560F (ON Semiconductor) | 60 V VRRM, 5 A IO, VF = 0.75 V (max @ 5 A); SMC package, but IR = 1.0 mA @ 60 V, 25°C | Acceptable for polarity protection, but higher leakage may impact ultra-low-power battery backup designs | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial controls where 0.5 mA IR is not critical |
Compared with SS56-E3/57T and MBR560F, B560C-13-F delivers the lowest combined VF/IR trade-off (0.70 V / 0.5 mA) and best thermal RθJT (10 °C/W), making it optimal for thermally constrained 5 A DC/DC outputs and battery-critical polarity guards.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature and how is it maintained?
The B560C-13-F has an operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. Thermal management relies on its 10 °C/W junction-to-terminal resistance and recommended 8.0 mm² copper pad heatsink per Diodes' layout guidelines. Derating begins above 25°C ambient, with 5.0 A current reduced linearly to zero at 150°C terminal temperature per Figure 7.
Is B560C-13-F qualified for automotive applications?
No - B560C-13-F is rated for commercial/industrial use. Diodes offers the automotive-qualified B560CQ variant (separate datasheet DS13012Q), which meets AEC-Q101 requirements including extended temperature testing, biased HAST, and mechanical shock validation.
How does the guard ring construction improve reliability?
The guard ring die structure prevents edge breakdown during voltage transients by redistributing electric field stress away from the active junction periphery. This increases surge survivability (100 A IFSM) and extends lifetime under repetitive 60 V reverse bias, especially in inductive load switching environments like motor drives.
Can B560C-13-F be used in parallel for higher current?
Not recommended without external balancing - Schottky VF mismatch causes current hogging. Diodes specifies no parallel operation guidance in DS13012. For >5 A, select a single higher-current part (e.g., B1060C) or verify matched VF binning and thermal coupling in prototype testing.
