Product details

Overview

TSSA5U60 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 5 A, 60 V trench Schottky surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring 0.53 V typical forward voltage at 5 A and 25°C, 75 A peak surge capability, and 150°C maximum junction temperature. It serves as a high-efficiency output rectifier in compact DC/DC converters for LED lighting and AC/DC adapters.

For engineers reviewing the TSSA5U60 datasheet, TSSA5U60 pinout, TSSA5U60 application, or TSSA5U60 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, low thermal resistance (28 °C/W junction-to-lead), RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity rating for automated assembly.

Technical Context

The TSSA5U60 employs a single-die trench Schottky barrier structure optimized for high-frequency switching operation, delivering reduced conduction loss versus planar Schottky or fast recovery diodes. Its 0.53 V typical VF at 5 A/25°C and 0.49 V at 5 A/125°C enables high efficiency across operating temperature ranges.

Thermal performance is defined by R_θJL = 28 °C/W and R_θJA = 70 °C/W, with polarity indicated by cathode band and JEDEC DO-214AC (SMA) mechanical compliance. The device supports 8.3 ms half-sine surge current up to 75 A and operates from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_RRM	60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; sets upper limit for DC bus or output rail voltage in SMPS designs
I_F	5 A - Continuous average forward current; defines steady-state power delivery capacity at rated case temperature
I_FSM	75 A - Non-repetitive peak surge current (8.3 ms); supports inrush and transient overload without failure
V_F @ 5 A, 25°C	0.53 V (typ) - Low conduction drop directly reduces power loss and improves system efficiency
R_θJL	28 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables direct thermal coupling to PCB copper for passive cooling
T_J max	+150°C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; allows operation in high-ambient industrial or enclosed lighting environments
Package	DO-214AC (SMA) - Standardized surface-mount outline with 4.06–4.60 mm body length and cathode band polarity marking

Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
SS56 (ON Semiconductor)	Same 5 A / 60 V rating but higher V_F (0.72 V typ @ 5 A), R_θJL = 35 °C/W, DO-214AC package	Lower efficiency in thermally constrained layouts; requires larger copper area for same thermal performance	Select when legacy design uses SS56 footprint and minor efficiency trade-off is acceptable
SB560 (Vishay)	5 A / 60 V, V_F = 0.75 V typ @ 5 A, R_θJL = 30 °C/W, DO-214AC, non-halogen-free	Higher conduction loss increases board temperature rise; not compliant with latest EU environmental directives	Choose only for cost-sensitive industrial applications where halogen-free is not mandated

Compared with SS56 and SB560, the TSSA5U60 delivers superior thermal performance (28 °C/W vs. ≥30 °C/W), lower forward voltage (0.53 V vs. ≥0.72 V), and full halogen-free/RoHS compliance-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency, and environmentally regulated designs.

FAQ

What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of the TSSA5U60?

The TSSA5U60 has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) of 60 V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating defines the highest reverse-biased voltage the device can block continuously without breakdown under normal operating conditions, making it suitable for 48 V nominal input rails or 24 V output stages with margin.

Does the TSSA5U60 have a specified forward voltage at elevated temperature?

Yes, the TSSA5U60 specifies 0.49 V (max) forward voltage at 5 A and 125°C junction temperature. This value is critical for thermal design validation, confirming that conduction loss remains low even under worst-case thermal conditions in enclosed LED drivers or sealed adapters.

Is the TSSA5U60 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?

Yes, the TSSA5U60 features matte tin-plated leads qualified per J-STD-002 for solderability and is rated J-STD-020 Level 1 for moisture sensitivity-meaning it can be processed through standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C) without baking or special handling.

What is the marking code printed on the TSSA5U60 device body?

The TSSA5U60 is marked with "5U60" on its molded plastic body, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This two-character voltage identifier distinguishes it from the TSSA5U50 ("5U50") and ensures correct identification during visual inspection and automated optical recognition (AOI) in SMT lines.

Can the TSSA5U60 replace the TSSA5U50 in an existing design?

Yes, the TSSA5U60 is a direct voltage-grade upgrade from the TSSA5U50, sharing identical package (DO-214AC), pinout, thermal characteristics, and electrical parameters except for V_RRM (60 V vs. 50 V) and V_F (slightly higher). No layout or schematic changes are needed-only verification that the higher blocking voltage provides sufficient margin for the application's reverse stress conditions.
