Diodes Incorporated S5DC-13-F

Overview

S5DC-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 200 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 5.0 A average forward current glass passivated surface-mount rectifier in SMC package, featuring 1.15 V max forward voltage at 5.0 A and 100 A non-repetitive surge capability; used in AC/DC front-end rectification for industrial power supplies and LED drivers.

For engineers reviewing the S5DC-13-F datasheet, S5DC-13-F pinout, S5DC-13-F application, or S5DC-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM rating, IF(AV) derating behavior above +75°C, thermal resistance (RθJT = 10°C/W), and RoHS-compliant matte tin termination compatibility with automated reflow assembly.

Technical Context

This device operates as a single-phase, half-wave silicon rectifier optimized for high-current, medium-voltage DC output generation. Its glass passivated die construction ensures stable reverse leakage (IRM ≤ 10 µA at 25°C, ≤ 250 µA at 125°C) and robust surge tolerance (100 A @ 8.3 ms, 200 A @ 1.0 ms).

Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-terminal resistance of 10°C/W when mounted on 5.0 mm² copper pads, enabling reliable operation from –65°C to +150°C. Capacitance is low (CT = 40 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V reverse), minimizing switching noise in line-frequency applications.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature for S5DC-13-F?

The S5DC-13-F has an operating and storage temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. Its rated average forward current (5.0 A) is specified at terminal temperature (TT) = +75°C; derating follows the curve in Figure 1, reaching ~3.5 A at +125°C terminal temperature.

Is S5DC-13-F compatible with lead-free reflow soldering?

Yes - S5DC-13-F features matte tin-plated terminals qualified per MIL-STD-202, Method 208, and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity. It is fully compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak temperature.

How does the 200 A IFSM rating differ from the 100 A rating?

The 200 A rating applies to a 1.0 ms single half-sine surge, while the 100 A rating applies to an 8.3 ms (½-cycle at 60 Hz) surge. Both are non-repetitive; the shorter pulse allows higher peak current due to reduced thermal accumulation.

Can S5DC-13-F replace S5BC-13-F in existing designs?

No - S5BC-13-F has VRRM = 100 V, whereas S5DC-13-F is rated for 200 V. Substitution requires verification that reverse voltage stress remains within 100 V; otherwise, overvoltage risk exists. Forward characteristics (VFM, IF(AV)) are identical, but reverse blocking capability is not interchangeable.
