Diodes Incorporated S5BC-13-F

Overview

S5BC-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 100 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 5.0 A average forward current, glass passivated surface-mount rectifier in SMC (DO-214AB) package, with 1.15 V max forward voltage at 5.0 A and 100 A non-repetitive surge rating - used in AC/DC front-end rectification for industrial power supplies and LED drivers.

For engineers reviewing the S5BC-13-F datasheet, S5BC-13-F pinout, S5BC-13-F application, or S5BC-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM=100 V, IO=5.0 A @ TT=+75°C, VF=1.15 V @ IF=5.0 A, IFSM=100 A (8.3 ms), and thermal resistance RθJT=10 °C/W for thermal design validation.

Technical Context

This device is a single-phase, silicon planar junction, glass passivated standard rectifier optimized for high-current, medium-voltage AC-to-DC conversion. It operates under resistive or inductive loads at 60 Hz, with derating required for capacitive loads (−20% current).

Thermal performance relies on PCB copper pad heatsinking (5.0 mm², 0.013 mm thick), enabling operation from −65°C to +150°C. Reverse leakage is specified at 10 µA @ 25°C and 250 µA @ 125°C, supporting stable blocking in elevated ambient environments.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for S5BC-13-F?

The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, consistent with its rated operating range (TJ, TSTG = −65°C to +150°C). Derating begins above +75°C terminal temperature, where average forward current drops linearly to zero at +150°C per Figure 1 in DS16007.

Can S5BC-13-F be used in full-wave bridge configurations?

Yes - S5BC-13-F is a single diode and may be used in discrete full-wave bridges (e.g., four units per bridge). It is not a monolithic bridge; each device handles one quadrant. Layout must ensure matched thermal paths and equal current sharing across paralleled units.

Is S5BC-13-F suitable for use with capacitive input filters?

No - the datasheet explicitly requires 20% derating of IO when used with capacitive loads due to high peak charging currents. For such applications, use a higher-current rating (e.g., S5DC-13-F) or add inrush limiting.

Does S5BC-13-F meet automotive AEC-Q101 requirements?

No - S5BC-13-F is not AEC-Q101 qualified. It is rated for industrial temperature range (−65°C to +150°C) and RoHS compliance, but lacks stress testing, failure analysis, and qualification documentation required for automotive applications.
