Diodes Incorporated SBR8E60P5-13D

Overview

SBR8E60P5-13D 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 SBR8E60P5-13D datasheet, SBR8E60P5-13D pinout, SBR8E60P5-13D application, or SBR8E60P5-13D 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 Super Barrier Rectifier employs a proprietary epitaxial structure to achieve lower VF than standard Schottky diodes while maintaining superior high-temperature reverse leakage stability. Its 60V VRRM rating supports secondary-side rectification in 12V–48V output AC-DC and isolated DC-DC topologies.

The POWERDI®5 package integrates a bottom-side heat sink with dual anode/cathode terminals, enabling efficient thermal conduction to the PCB while supporting high-current operation (IO = 8A) and surge robustness (IFSM = 180A, 8.3ms). Junction-to-case thermal resistance of 9°C/W confirms direct board-level heat extraction capability.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

Packaged in the thermally enhanced POWERDI®5 case, this device features a bottom-side exposed thermal pad and two surface-mount terminals: left pin (anode) and right pin (cathode), both electrically connected to the PCB for optimal current sharing and thermal transfer.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?

The SBR8E60P5-13D 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 ≤135°C under worst-case ambient and power dissipation conditions, per Figure 4 derating curve and RθJA = 92°C/W on standard FR-4.

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, 10–30 sec above 217°C). The green molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating and withstands multiple reflow cycles without delamination.

Does this diode require a snubber circuit in flyback applications?

No snubber is required for typical flyback operation below 500kHz. The SBR8E60P5-13D exhibits soft reverse recovery with minimal stored charge (Qrr not specified but inferred <30nC from VF/IR profile), reducing voltage overshoot and EMI. Snubbers may still be needed only if layout parasitics exceed 20nH or switching frequency exceeds 1MHz.

How does the bottom thermal pad connect electrically?

The exposed bottom pad is internally connected to the cathode terminal. It must be soldered to a PCB copper pour tied to the cathode net - providing both low-thermal-resistance heat transfer and low-inductance current return path. No isolation or floating mounting is permitted.
