Product details
Overview
B560CX-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 60 V, 5 A Trench Schottky barrier rectifier in SMC package, featuring 0.60 V max forward voltage at 5 A and 0.3 mA max reverse leakage at 60 V and +25°C, used for freewheeling and reverse polarity protection in DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the B560CX-13 datasheet, B560CX-13 pinout, B560CX-13 application, or B560CX-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include low VF for efficiency, soft switching for EMI control, 150°C junction rating for thermal robustness, and RoHS/Green compliance for industrial and automotive-adjacent designs.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses trench MOS structure to reduce forward voltage drop while maintaining low reverse leakage-critical for high-frequency switching power supplies where conduction loss dominates. Its 550 pF junction capacitance at 4 V reverse bias supports fast turn-off in SMPS flyback and buck topologies.
The device operates up to +150°C junction temperature with 50°C/W thermal resistance (FR-4 board), enabling compact layout without forced cooling in space-constrained DC-DC modules. Cathode band marking ensures unambiguous polarity identification during automated assembly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Withstands repetitive reverse voltage up to 60 V without breakdown in blocking mode. |
| IO | 5 A - Continuous average forward current rating at +25°C ambient on standard FR-4 PCB. |
| VF (max) | 0.60 V @ 5 A, +25°C - Limits conduction loss to ≤3 W per diode in high-current paths. |
| IR (max) | 0.3 mA @ 60 V, +25°C - Minimizes standby power loss in reverse-biased blocking applications. |
| TJ range | –55°C to +150°C - Enables operation in under-hood or industrial environments without derating. |
| CT | 550 pF @ 4 V, 1 MHz - Low junction capacitance reduces switching loss and improves high-frequency response. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), surface-mount, molded plastic body with matte tin-plated terminals and cathode band polarity indicator. Dimensions: 6.90 mm × 4.40 mm × 2.50 mm (L × W × H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck converter); accepts 5 A continuous. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked by band/notch; connects to higher-potential rail (e.g., output capacitor positive) and blocks 60 V reverse. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trench Schottky architecture | Reduces VF by ~15% vs. planar Schottky at 5 A, directly improving converter efficiency. |
| Soft, fast switching | Minimizes reverse recovery ringing and EMI generation in >100 kHz DC-DC stages. |
| +150°C operating junction | Eliminates need for thermal derating in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial settings. |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" compound | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements. |
Applications
| DC-DC Buck Converter | Reverse Polarity Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Output rectification in 12 V input → 5 V/3.3 V step-down converter running at 500 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode conducting during low-side switch off-time; defines minimum on-time via VF-dependent voltage drop. Use Value: 0.60 V VF limits conduction loss to 3 W at 5 A, reducing thermal load on PCB and enabling smaller heatsinking. | Use Scenario: Input protection for USB-C powered peripherals subject to accidental reversed adapter insertion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series blocking diode placed between connector and system input rail; conducts only when polarity is correct. Use Value: 0.3 mA IR at +25°C ensures <1.5 µW standby loss, preserving battery life in always-on devices. |
| SMPS Flyback Secondary | Freewheeling in Motor Drive |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in offline 24 V/2 A flyback supply for industrial PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier replacement in cost-sensitive designs; handles 5 A peak secondary current. Use Value: 550 pF CT minimizes capacitive coupling noise into feedback circuitry, improving regulation stability. | Use Scenario: Inductive kickback path for brushed DC motor controlled by N-channel MOSFET H-bridge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss return path for stored inductor energy during MOSFET turn-off. Use Value: Soft switching behavior suppresses voltage spikes >60 V, protecting MOSFETs without snubbers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB560-E3/54 (Vishay) | Same 60 V/5 A rating but planar Schottky; VF = 0.72 V max @ 5 A - 20% higher conduction loss. | Limited to lower-frequency (<100 kHz) or thermally relaxed layouts due to higher VF and TJ derating. | Prefer when legacy qualification or dual-sourcing required; avoid in high-efficiency, high-density designs. |
| SS5P6L (ON Semiconductor) | SMC package, 60 V/5 A, VF = 0.58 V max @ 5 A; slightly lower IR (0.2 mA) but no trench architecture. | Better leakage performance at elevated temperature; marginally lower VF but no soft-switching benefit. | Select for ultra-low standby loss in battery-backed systems; trade-off is reduced EMI margin in noisy environments. |
Compared with SB560-E3/54 and SS5P6L, B560CX-13 delivers the lowest VF among SMC-packaged 5 A Schottkys while uniquely combining soft switching and 150°C operation-making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-frequency DC-DC and motor drive freewheeling.

FAQ
What is the maximum surge current rating for B560CX-13?
The B560CX-13 has a non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) rating of 95 A for a 1 ms single half-sine wave at rated load. This rating applies under specified thermal conditions and is validated per JEDEC standards; sustained surges above this level risk metallization failure.
Is B560CX-13 qualified for automotive applications?
B560CX-13 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While it meets industrial temperature and reliability requirements (–55°C to +150°C, RoHS/Green), automotive use requires explicit AEC-Q101 certification, PPAP documentation, and IATF 16949 manufacturing-none of which apply to this part number.
How does the SMC package compare to SMA for thermal performance?
The SMC package offers ~30% lower thermal resistance than SMA for the same die: RθJA = 50°C/W (SMC) vs. ~70°C/W (SMA) on identical FR-4 PCBs. This enables higher continuous current handling or reduced copper area in thermally dense layouts.
Can B560CX-13 replace a standard PN junction rectifier in a 60 Hz AC-DC bridge?
No-B560CX-13 is optimized for high-frequency switching (kHz–MHz), not 60 Hz line-frequency rectification. Its low VF advantage is offset by higher IR at low frequencies, and its surge rating assumes short-duration pulses, not 60 Hz half-sine surges.
