Diodes Incorporated SBR8E60P5-7

Overview

SBR8E60P5 from Diodes Incorporated is an 8A, 60V ultra-low VF super barrier rectifier in the POWERDI®5 package, featuring 0.53V max forward voltage at 8A/25°C, 0.58mA max reverse leakage at 60V/25°C, and 92°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance-designed for high-efficiency AC-DC adapters and DC-DC converter output rectification.

For engineers reviewing the SBR8E60P5 datasheet, SBR8E60P5 pinout, SBR8E60P5 application, or SBR8E60P5 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at full load, high-temperature reverse leakage stability, thermal performance in compact layouts, and compatibility with thin-profile power supplies requiring <1.1mm component height.

Technical Context

This super barrier rectifier employs a proprietary epitaxial structure to achieve lower forward voltage than standard Schottky diodes while maintaining superior high-temperature IR stability-enabling reliable operation up to +150°C junction temperature without thermal runaway.

Its POWERDI®5 package integrates a bottom-side heat sink with low RθJC (9°C/W), allowing direct PCB copper thermal spreading; the device is rated for 180A non-repetitive surge current and supports 8A average forward current with derating above +25°C ambient.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for SBR8E60P5 at +100°C ambient?

At +100°C ambient, the SBR8E60P5 supports approximately 4.2A average forward current, based on its derating curve (Figure 4). This value assumes mounting on a 1-layer FR-4 board with 2oz copper; increasing copper area or adding thermal vias can extend usable current by up to 1.5×.

Does SBR8E60P5 require a heatsink for 8A operation?

No external heatsink is required-its POWERDI®5 package transfers heat efficiently through the bottom thermal pad into PCB copper. With ≥250mm² of 2oz copper connected to the pad and 4–6 thermal vias, the device sustains 8A at +25°C ambient without exceeding +125°C junction temperature.

Is SBR8E60P5 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?

Yes-SBR8E60P5 is qualified for standard JEDEC J-STD-020 lead-free reflow, with peak temperature tolerance up to +260°C. Its MSL Level 1 rating means it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH without baking prior to assembly.

Can SBR8E60P5 be used in place of a 60V Schottky diode in an existing design?

Yes-SBR8E60P5 is a direct footprint-compatible replacement for 60V Schottkys in POWERDI®5 packages. Its lower VF reduces conduction loss, but designers must verify that reduced IR does not affect snubber or feedback loop stability in quasi-resonant topologies.
