Product details
Overview
S5KC-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 800 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 5.0 A average forward current, glass passivated surface-mount rectifier in SMC (DO-214AB) package, featuring 1.15 V max forward voltage at 5.0 A and 100 A non-repetitive surge capability - used in offline AC/DC input stage rectification for industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the S5KC-13-F datasheet, S5KC-13-F pinout, S5KC-13-F application, or S5KC-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM rating, IF(AV) derating behavior at elevated terminal temperature, IFSM pulse tolerance, thermal resistance to PCB copper pad, and RoHS-compliant matte tin termination compatibility with automated reflow.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-phase, half-wave silicon rectifier optimized for high-current, high-voltage DC output generation from AC mains. Its glass passivated die construction ensures stable junction integrity under thermal cycling and humidity exposure.
Rated for 800 V blocking and 5.0 A average forward current at TT = +75°C, it supports 100 A (8.3 ms) and 200 A (1.0 ms) surge currents, with thermal resistance RθJT = 10 °C/W when mounted on 5.0 mm² copper pads - enabling compact, conduction-cooled designs without external heatsinks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - blocks up to 800 V peak reverse voltage in AC line applications without breakdown |
| IF(AV) | 5.0 A @ TT = +75°C - continuous DC output current capability with defined PCB thermal relief |
| VFM | 1.15 V max @ IF = 5.0 A - low conduction loss enabling >85% efficiency in 115/230 VAC input stages |
| IFSM | 100 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands inrush surges from cold-started capacitive-input filters |
| RθJT | 10 °C/W - junction-to-terminal thermal resistance enables direct PCB copper pad heat sinking |
| IRM | 10 µA @ 25°C, 250 µA @ 125°C - low leakage preserves hold-up time in standby mode |
| CT | 40 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V reverse - minimal switching noise coupling in high-frequency 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 | AC input connection point | Accepts alternating polarity input; must be routed with clearance for 800 V transient peaks |

Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supplies | LED Driver Input Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 230 VAC input stage of DIN-rail mounted 48 V/10 A industrial power supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary rectifier converting AC line to pulsating DC before bulk capacitor and PFC controller. Use Value: 800 V VRRM provides 2× safety margin over 230 VAC × √2 ≈ 325 V peak, ensuring robustness against line transients. | Use Scenario: Off-line LED driver for street lighting with universal 90–305 VAC input range. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bridgeless or single-diode rectifier feeding constant-current buck converter. Use Value: 5.0 A IF(AV) and 100 A IFSM support high-lumen drivers with large input capacitance and frequent hot-plug events. |
| UPS Input Stage | Motor Drive Front-End Rectification |
Use Scenario: Line-interactive UPS with automatic voltage regulation and battery backup. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input rectifier supplying DC bus for inverter and charger circuits. Use Value: Low 1.15 V VFM reduces conduction loss during extended utility operation, improving overall system efficiency. | Use Scenario: 3-phase rectifier front-end in HVAC inverter drive (single-phase variant used in smaller units). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-phase rectifier feeding DC link capacitor bank prior to IGBT inverter stage. Use Value: RθJT = 10 °C/W allows direct mounting to copper pour, eliminating discrete heatsink and reducing BOM count. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH8R06D | 600 V VRRM, 8 A IF(AV), TO-220AC package, higher VF (1.7 V) | Requires heatsink; suited for higher-current, lower-voltage designs | Select if >6 A average current needed and board space allows through-hole mounting |
| ES1J-M3/5AT | 600 V VRRM, 1 A IF(AV), SMA package, VF = 1.7 V | Lower current rating; used in auxiliary/signal-level rectification | Choose only for low-power auxiliary rails where 5 A capability is unnecessary |
Compared with STTH8R06D and ES1J-M3/5AT, S5KC-13-F uniquely balances 800 V blocking, 5 A current, SMC surface-mount form factor, and 1.15 V low VF - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency industrial AC/DC front-ends where thermal management relies on PCB copper.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for S5KC-13-F?
The S5KC-13-F has an operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. Its rated 5.0 A average forward current assumes a terminal temperature of +75°C; derating is required above that point per Figure 1 in DS16007, reaching zero current at +150°C terminal temperature.
Is S5KC-13-F suitable for use in a bridge rectifier configuration?
Yes - S5KC-13-F is a single diode intended for use in discrete bridge configurations. Four units can form a full-wave bridge; its 800 V VRRM and 100 A IFSM make it appropriate for 230 VAC bridges where each diode sees ≤560 V peak reverse voltage and must handle full-load inrush.
Does S5KC-13-F require a heatsink in typical applications?
No external heatsink is required if mounted on ≥5.0 mm² of 0.013 mm thick copper pad per the datasheet's RθJT test condition. Thermal performance depends on PCB layout; doubling copper area reduces RθJT by ~20%, supporting higher ambient or load conditions without added hardware.
How does the glass passivation benefit long-term reliability?
Glass passivation forms a hermetic, chemically inert barrier over the silicon junction, preventing oxidation, ion migration, and moisture ingress - critical for maintaining stable reverse leakage (IRM) and forward voltage (VFM) over 10+ years in humid or thermally cycled industrial environments.
