Diodes Incorporated SBR8E60P5-13

Overview

SBR8E60P5 from Diodes Incorporated is an 8A, 60V Super Barrier Rectifier (SBR®) in the POWERDI®5 package, featuring ultra-low 0.53V max forward voltage at 8A and 0.58mA max reverse leakage at 60V/25°C. It serves as a high-efficiency rectifier, freewheeling diode, or polarity protection device in compact AC-DC adapters and DC-DC converters.

For engineers reviewing the SBR8E60P5 datasheet, SBR8E60P5 pinout, SBR8E60P5 application, or SBR8E60P5 equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (RθJC = 9°C/W), low-profile 1.1mm height, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, and stable IR performance up to +125°C - critical for space-constrained, thermally demanding power supplies.

Technical Context

This SBR rectifier uses proprietary super barrier technology to achieve lower VF than standard Schottky diodes while maintaining superior high-temperature reverse leakage stability. Its 60V VRRM rating and 180A non-repetitive surge capability support robust operation in transient-prone secondary-side rectification.

The POWERDI®5 package integrates a bottom-side heat sink with dual anode/cathode terminals electrically connected on PCB, enabling efficient thermal conduction to copper planes. Its 92°C/W RθJA (on 1-layer FR-4) and 9°C/W RθJC reflect optimized thermal design for high-power-density layouts.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?

The SBR8E60P5 has an operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. For reliable long-term operation at 8A average current, thermal design must ensure TJ remains ≤145°C under worst-case ambient and power dissipation conditions, using its 9°C/W RθJC and PCB copper thermal mass.

Is the POWERDI®5 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?

Yes - the POWERDI®5 package is qualified for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1 and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 20–40 sec above 217°C). Its green molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating.

Can SBR8E60P5 replace a standard Schottky diode in existing designs?

Yes, with layout verification: the POWERDI®5 footprint differs from SOD-123 or TO-277. Its dual-pin + bottom-pad configuration requires updated stencil and pad layout per AP02001 guidelines. Electrical substitution is direct - same VRRM, IO, and polarity - but thermal performance will improve significantly.

Does this device require external snubbing in high-frequency DC-DC applications?

No external snubber is required for typical 100–500kHz flyback or buck converters. The SBR8E60P5's low stored charge (Qrr not specified but implied low by SBR architecture) and soft recovery characteristics minimize switching noise and ringing, as confirmed in Diodes' application notes for similar SBR devices.
