Product details
Overview
SB560-T from Diodes Incorporated is a 5.0A, 60V Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-201AD package, featuring 0.67V forward voltage at 5.0A, 150A non-repetitive surge capability, and guard ring die construction for transient protection-used in low-voltage DC/DC output rectification and polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SB560-T datasheet, SB560-T pinout, SB560-T application, or SB560-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60V VRRM rating, 0.67V VFM at rated current, thermal resistance (RθJL = 8°C/W), RoHS-compliant bright tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (1.2K/reel, 13-inch).
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier employs epitaxial construction and a guard ring die to enhance transient immunity and reduce leakage under high reverse bias. Its low forward voltage drop minimizes conduction loss in high-frequency switching power supplies operating up to several hundred kHz.
Rated for continuous 5.0A average output current with 150A peak surge tolerance (8.3ms half-sine), it operates across –65°C to +150°C junction temperature range and exhibits 50μA typical reverse leakage at 100°C and rated blocking voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for DC bus or output rail voltage handling. |
| IF(AV) | 5.0 A - Average forward current rating at TA = +25°C with adequate heatsinking; defines continuous power delivery capacity. |
| VFM @ 5.0A | 0.67 V - Forward voltage drop at full rated current; directly determines conduction loss (3.35W) and thermal load. |
| IFSM | 150 A - Non-repetitive surge current capability; enables survival during inrush or fault transients in SMPS outputs. |
| RθJL | 8 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; supports direct PCB copper pad heat sinking without external heatsink. |
| IR @ 60V, 25°C | 0.5 mA - Peak reverse leakage at rated DC blocking voltage; impacts standby power in battery-backed systems. |
| TJ Range | –65°C to +150°C - Operating junction temperature range; qualifies for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments. |
Pinout & Package
DO-201AD molded plastic package (UL 94V-0), cathode-banded axial lead device with bright tin-plated leads solderable per MIL-STD-202, Method 208. Mounting position unrestricted; marking includes "SB560" and date code (YWW format).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., switch node in buck converter); must handle full load current and surge. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal | Connected to output rail or ground return; marked by band; carries same current but defines output polarity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Improves transient voltage immunity and reduces localized field crowding at edge termination, enhancing reliability in noisy power rails. |
| Epitaxial Schottky structure | Delivers lower forward voltage than planar Schottky or PN diodes, reducing conduction loss in high-current, low-VOUT applications. |
| 150A surge rating (JEDEC 8.3ms) | Withstands capacitor charging surges and short-circuit recovery events without degradation in 5A-rated power supplies. |
| RoHS-compliant bright tin plating | Ensures compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles and long-term solder joint integrity in automated assembly. |
Applications
| DC/DC Converter Output Rectification | Polarity Protection Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used as secondary-side rectifier in 12V–48V input buck converters delivering up to 5A to FPGA or ASIC core rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve converting high-frequency AC from synchronous rectifier stage into regulated DC output. Use Value: 0.67V VFM at 5A reduces power loss by ~1.2W versus comparable 1.1V PN diode, lowering thermal stress on PCB copper area. | Use Scenario: Placed in series with power input of industrial sensor module to prevent damage from reversed battery or supply connection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-polarity blocking element that conducts only when anode is more positive than cathode. Use Value: Low 0.67V forward drop minimizes voltage loss in battery-powered systems where every millivolt affects runtime. |
| Freewheeling Diode in Motor Drivers | Low-Voltage Inverter Output Stage |
Use Scenario: Mounted across brushed DC motor terminals in 24V automotive seat actuator control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides path for inductive kickback current when H-bridge switches turn off. Use Value: 150A IFSM rating ensures survival during abrupt motor stall events without bond wire fusing. | Use Scenario: Employed in 48V solar microinverter DC link stage to clamp switching node transients and recover energy. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed clamping diode managing flyback energy during MOSFET dead-time intervals. Use Value: Epitaxial Schottky construction enables sub-10ns reverse recovery, eliminating minority-carrier tail current and associated EMI. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-50SQ060 | Same 60V VRRM, 5A IF(AV), but 0.63V VFM @ 5A; TO-220AC package with tab isolation. | Requires mounting hardware and thermal interface; better suited for forced-air-cooled 50W+ systems. | Select when higher surge margin (200A) and screw-terminal mechanical robustness outweigh DO-201AD's board-level simplicity. |
| ON Semiconductor SB560-E3/54 | Identical electrical specs and DO-201AD package; differs only in tape-and-reel orientation and reel diameter (13″ vs 12″). | No functional difference; fully interchangeable in automated placement and circuit performance. | Choose for dual-source procurement flexibility where footprint and thermal behavior must remain unchanged. |
Compared with VS-50SQ060, SB560-T offers lower assembly cost and smaller footprint but less thermal headroom; versus SB560-E3/54, it provides identical performance with different packaging logistics-making it optimal for high-volume SMT lines using 13-inch reels.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SB560-T?
The SB560-T has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per datasheet DS23024 Rev. 9–2. This allows operation in high-ambient environments such as engine compartments or enclosed industrial enclosures without derating, provided RθJL = 8°C/W thermal path to PCB copper is maintained.
Is SB560-T suitable for automotive applications?
SB560-T itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., SB560Q) with PPAP documentation, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and AEC-Q101 stress testing. For non-safety-critical 12V/24V accessory circuits, SB560-T may be used with system-level qualification-but not for airbag, braking, or ADAS functions.
How does the DO-201AD package affect thermal performance?
The DO-201AD package delivers RθJL = 8°C/W to the lead, enabling effective heat transfer to large PCB copper pours. Unlike SMD packages, its axial leads require through-hole mounting, limiting airflow but offering mechanical stability and high surge current endurance via direct metal-to-metal thermal paths.
Can SB560-T replace SB540-T in an existing design?
Yes-SB560-T can directly replace SB540-T where higher reverse voltage margin is needed. Both share identical DO-201AD package, 5A current rating, and thermal characteristics; SB560-T adds 20V extra VRRM (60V vs 40V) with only 0.12V higher VFM (0.67V vs 0.55V), increasing conduction loss by ~0.6W at full load.
