Product details
Overview
S5GC-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 400 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 input stage rectification for industrial power supplies and LED drivers.
For engineers reviewing the S5GC-13-F datasheet, S5GC-13-F pinout, S5GC-13-F application, or S5GC-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 lead-free plating for automated assembly compatibility.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-phase, half-wave silicon rectifier optimized for resistive or inductive loads at 60 Hz; capacitance-loaded applications require 20% current derating. Its glass passivated die construction ensures stable junction integrity under thermal cycling and surge stress.
Thermal performance is defined with a 5.0 mm² copper pad heatsink per JEDEC standards; forward voltage remains ≤1.15 V up to rated DC load, while reverse leakage stays ≤10 µA at +25°C and ≤250 µA at +125°C under full blocking voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets usable AC input range in bridge or single-diode rectifiers. |
| IF(AV) | 5.0 A @ TT = +75°C - Continuous DC output current capability with terminal temperature limited to 75°C; requires thermal management beyond that point. |
| VFM | 1.15 V @ IF = 5.0 A - Forward conduction loss directly impacts efficiency and thermal design in high-current rectification stages. |
| IFSM (8.3ms) | 100 A - Surge withstand for line transients or inrush events without permanent degradation. |
| RθJT | 10 °C/W - Junction-to-terminal thermal resistance measured on PCB with 5.0 mm² copper pad; enables direct heatsink attachment via terminal. |
| IRM | 10 µA @ +25°C, 250 µA @ +125°C - Reverse leakage determines standby power loss and reliability in high-temperature environments. |
| CT | 40 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V reverse - Junction capacitance affects high-frequency switching noise and EMI filter design in SMPS front-ends. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), molded plastic case with UL 94V-0 flammability rating, cathode indicated by band or notch, weight ≈0.21 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input current entry during forward conduction | Connected to AC source or transformer secondary; must handle full surge current and steady-state RMS current. |
| Cathode | Output current exit during forward conduction | Connected to bulk capacitor or downstream converter; polarity marking critical for correct board orientation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die construction | Enhances moisture resistance and long-term reliability under humid or thermally cycled conditions without hermetic sealing. |
| 100 A non-repetitive surge rating (8.3 ms) | Withstands common AC line surges and cold-start inrush without failure, reducing need for external MOVs in cost-sensitive designs. |
| Lead-free, halogen- and antimony-free "Green" finish | Meets RoHS 2 and JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements for reflow-compatible automated assembly. |
| Low RθJT (10°C/W) with standard PCB copper pad | Enables direct thermal coupling to board-level heatsinking, eliminating need for discrete thermal interface materials in many 5 A applications. |
Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supplies | LED Driver Input Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 100–277 VAC mains input in open-frame industrial power supplies delivering 24–48 VDC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side unidirectional current switch converting AC to pulsating DC prior to bulk filtering and regulation. Use Value: 400 V VRRM safely covers universal input range; 5.0 A rating supports >100 W output with margin for transient overload. | Use Scenario: Front-end rectification in constant-current LED drivers for street lighting and high-bay fixtures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-efficiency, low-loss rectifier in bridge or single-diode configuration feeding PFC or buck converter stage. Use Value: 1.15 V VFM minimizes conduction loss at 3–5 A typical operating current, improving overall driver efficiency and thermal margin. |
| UPS Input Stage | Motor Drive Auxiliary Power Supply |
Use Scenario: Input rectification in online UPS systems where battery backup requires clean, stable DC bus generation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Critical path rectifier handling bidirectional energy flow during AC failover and recharge cycles. Use Value: 100 A IFSM ensures robustness against generator waveform distortion and utility fault currents during transfer events. | Use Scenario: Isolated auxiliary supply powering gate drivers and control logic in 3-phase inverter modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compact, surface-mount rectifier in compact flyback or forward converter secondary side. Use Value: SMC package allows high-density layout; 0.21 g mass and 94V-0 housing meet vibration and safety requirements in motor control enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH5L06S | 600 V VRRM, 5 A IF(AV), VF = 1.7 V @ 5 A, TO-277 package | Higher blocking voltage but higher forward drop; larger footprint than SMC | Select when >400 V line transients or 277–480 VAC inputs require extra margin. |
| ON Semi MUR540 | 400 V VRRM, 5 A IF(AV), VF = 1.25 V @ 5 A, DO-214AC (SMA) package | Same voltage/current rating but lower surge (50 A), smaller package, higher VF | Choose only for space-constrained low-surge environments; not suitable for high-inrush LED or motor applications. |
Compared with STTH5L06S and MUR540, the S5GC-13-F delivers optimal balance of surge robustness (100 A), low VF (1.15 V), and compact SMC packaging - making it preferred for industrial-grade 5 A rectification where thermal and transient resilience are prioritized over minimal footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation?
The S5GC-13-F has an operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. For continuous operation at rated 5.0 A average current, the terminal temperature must be maintained at or below +75°C per the derating curve - exceeding this requires proportional current reduction to prevent thermal runaway.
Can S5GC-13-F be used in full-wave bridge configurations?
Yes - the S5GC-13-F is a single diode intended for use in discrete bridge assemblies or as a standalone rectifier. When used in a four-diode bridge, ensure matching VRRM, VF, and thermal layout across all devices to avoid current imbalance and premature failure.
Is the SMC package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - the S5GC-13-F's SMC package meets JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity and is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperatures up to 260°C and 60-second duration above liquidus.
How does the 40 pF junction capacitance affect EMI performance?
The 40 pF capacitance (measured at 1 MHz, 4 V reverse bias) contributes to high-frequency common-mode noise coupling in rectifier stages. In EMI-critical designs, pairing with properly sized X/Y capacitors and common-mode chokes mitigates radiated emissions caused by fast di/dt transitions.
