Diodes Incorporated SBR5E60P5-13D

Overview

SBR5E60P5-13D from Diodes Incorporated is a 5A, 60V Super Barrier Rectifier (SBR®) in the POWERDI®5 package, featuring ultra-low forward voltage (0.52 V max at 5 A, 25°C), low reverse leakage (0.22 mA max at 60 V, 25°C), and rugged avalanche capability-designed for high-efficiency rectification in compact AC-DC adapters and DC-DC converters.

For engineers reviewing the SBR5E60P5-13D datasheet, SBR5E60P5-13D pinout, SBR5E60P5-13D application, or SBR5E60P5-13D equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (R_θJC = 3 °C/W), high-temperature IR stability (50 mA at 125°C), and thin-profile packaging (1.1 mm max height) for space-constrained power stages.

Technical Context

This SBR device uses patented Super Barrier Rectifier technology to deliver Schottky-like forward conduction with enhanced avalanche ruggedness-critical for handling transient overcurrents in switching power supplies. Its structure enables lower VF than standard PN diodes while maintaining superior thermal stability of reverse leakage versus conventional Schottkys.

The POWERDI®5 package integrates a thermally optimized copper leadframe with exposed heat sink on the bottom side, enabling efficient junction-to-case heat transfer (R_θJC = 3 °C/W) and supporting continuous 5 A operation up to +125°C ambient when mounted on a 2"×2" Al board.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

The SBR5E60P5-13D is housed in the POWERDI®5 surface-mount package: compact (4.0 × 6.5 × 1.1 mm), thermally enhanced, with an exposed copper heat sink on the bottom side. Pins are electrically connected in parallel on the PCB to maximize current capacity and thermal spreading.

Manufacturer

Diodes Incorporated is a global manufacturer of discrete semiconductors and analog ICs, specializing in high-efficiency power management, signal integrity, and protection solutions for consumer, industrial, and automotive markets.

The SBR® product line was developed to replace Schottky and standard PN rectifiers in high-frequency, high-reliability power supplies-delivering lower VF than PN diodes and greater ruggedness than Schottkys in compact packages.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous forward current at +100°C ambient?

Per Figure 4 (Forward Current Derating Curve), the SBR5E60P5-13D supports approximately 3.7 A continuous forward current at +100°C ambient when mounted on a 2"×2" aluminum board. This derating ensures junction temperature remains within the -55°C to +150°C operating limit under steady-state conditions.

Is the bottom thermal pad electrically isolated?

No-the exposed copper pad on the bottom side of the POWERDI®5 package is electrically connected to the cathode terminal. It must be soldered to a cathode-coupled thermal pad on the PCB; using a dielectric layer would impair both thermal performance and electrical functionality.

How does SBR® technology differ from standard Schottky diodes?

SBR® uses a modified metal-semiconductor junction with integrated barrier engineering to achieve Schottky-level forward voltage while incorporating controlled avalanche capability-unlike standard Schottkys, which fail catastrophically under overvoltage transients. This enables reliable operation in inductive switching environments without external snubbers.

Can SBR5E60P5-13D replace a 60 V, 5 A Schottky in an existing design?

Yes-its identical POWERDI®5 footprint, matching V_RRM and I_O, and lower VF (0.52 V vs. typical 0.58 V) allow direct replacement. However, verify layout thermal pad connectivity and confirm no reliance on Schottky's lack of avalanche rating, as SBR® will safely clamp transients that would destroy the Schottky.
