Product details
Overview
PDS560Q-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 60 V, 5 A automotive-qualified Schottky barrier rectifier in PowerDI5 package, featuring 0.60 V max forward voltage at 5 A and 150 µA max reverse leakage at 25°C; used for polarity protection, recirculating, and switching functions in engine control units and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the PDS560Q-13 datasheet, PDS560Q-13 pinout, PDS560Q-13 application, or PDS560Q-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, low VF for thermal efficiency, high IFSM (150 A) for load dump resilience, and PowerDI5 thermal resistance (RθJS = 2.0°C/W) for PCB-constrained automotive layouts.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier employs guard ring die construction to suppress transient-induced avalanche failure and supports high-frequency switching up to 1 MHz due to low junction capacitance (typ. 75 pF at 4 V VR). Its low forward voltage drop minimizes conduction loss in 12 V automotive systems where efficiency directly impacts battery runtime and thermal management.
The device operates across –65°C to +150°C junction temperature range and delivers 150 A non-repetitive surge current under 8.3 ms half-sine waveform, enabling robust performance during load dump events per ISO 7637-2. Thermal resistance to soldering point (2.0°C/W) enables direct PCB heat sinking without external heatsinks in space-constrained modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Withstands peak reverse transients in 12 V automotive systems including load dump spikes. |
| IO | 5 A continuous - Sustains steady-state current in ECU power rails and motor driver flyback paths. |
| VF max | 0.60 V @ 5 A, 25°C - Reduces conduction loss to ≤3 W, critical for thermally constrained PowerDI5 footprint. |
| IFSM | 150 A @ 8.3 ms - Survives ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load dump surges without degradation. |
| IR max | 150 µA @ 60 V, 25°C - Ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on vehicle modules. |
| RθJS | 2.0°C/W - Enables direct thermal coupling to copper pour for passive cooling in compact PCBs. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Meets stress test requirements for automotive discrete semiconductors including HTGB, HTRB, and TCT. |

| PowerDI5 thermal design | Bottom-side thermal pad enables 2.0°C/W junction-to-solder-point resistance for direct PCB heat transfer. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use via high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and humidity testing. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Polarity Protection | Body Control Module (BCM) Recirculation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Prevents damage from reverse battery connection during service or jump-start events in gasoline/diesel ECUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional blocking diode placed between battery input and main DC/DC converter input. Use Value: 60 V VRRM exceeds 12 V system's 36 V load dump limit; 0.60 V VF limits power loss to 3 W at 5 A, avoiding thermal runaway. | Use Scenario: Suppresses back-EMF from solenoids and relays in door lock, window lift, and lighting circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode across inductive loads to clamp voltage spikes to <60 V. Use Value: 150 A IFSM handles worst-case relay coil energy release; low VF reduces heat buildup during frequent actuation cycles. |
| ADAS Camera Power Supply | Electric Power Steering (EPS) Motor Driver |
Use Scenario: Provides reverse-polarity protection on 5 V/3.3 V camera module inputs exposed to field wiring errors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input protection diode before LDO regulator in compact camera PCBs. Use Value: PowerDI5 footprint fits tight board space; 150 µA IR ensures <1 µW standby loss, preserving battery life in parked mode. | Use Scenario: Clamps inductive kickback from three-phase H-bridge motor windings during PWM commutation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: External freewheeling diode parallel to each MOSFET switch in half-bridge leg. Use Value: 2.0°C/W RθJS allows direct mounting to motor driver PCB copper, eliminating discrete heatsinks in EPS module housing. |
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 TO-220AC package; VF = 0.75 V @ 5 A; no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Requires heatsink for >2 A operation; unsuitable for automotive production without requalification. | Select only for industrial prototypes where thermal margin exists and automotive compliance is not required. |
| SS5P6L (ON Semiconductor) | PowerDI5 package, AEC-Q101 qualified, but VF = 0.72 V @ 5 A and IFSM = 100 A. | Lower surge capability limits use in high-energy load dump zones (e.g., alternator output). | Prefer for cost-sensitive BCM applications where 100 A surge is sufficient and lower VF is not critical. |
Compared with SB560-E3/54 and SS5P6L, PDS560Q-13 uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, 150 A surge headroom, and 0.60 V VF in PowerDI5 - making it optimal for ECU front-end protection and EPS motor driver freewheeling where thermal density and transient resilience are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for PDS560Q-13?
The PDS560Q-13 has a specified operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. This wide range supports deployment in under-hood environments such as engine compartments and transmission control units, where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C and thermal transients occur frequently.
Is PDS560Q-13 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, PDS560Q-13 features a matte tin finish on annealed copper leadframe and is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its PowerDI5 package withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C for 20–40 seconds, matching standard Pb-free assembly profiles.
How does the PowerDI5 package improve thermal performance over SMA or SMB packages?
The PowerDI5 package uses a bottom-side thermal pad that achieves 2.0°C/W junction-to-solder-point resistance-up to 3× better than SMA packages (~6°C/W). This enables direct PCB copper heat spreading without external heatsinks, reducing system size and cost in space-constrained automotive modules.
Can PDS560Q-13 be used in 24 V commercial vehicle applications?
No-its 60 V VRRM is insufficient for 24 V systems where load dump can reach 75 V per ISO 7637-2. For 24 V applications, Diodes' PDS580Q-13 (80 V VRRM) or equivalent AEC-Q101 Schottky rectifiers should be selected to ensure safe voltage margin.
