Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the B560C-13 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 V minimum
Current - Average Rectified (Io): 5 A minimum
Technology: Schottky
Mounting Type: Surface Mount
Package / Case: DO-214AB or SMC equivalent
Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)

Substitution Categories:

Direct Equivalents maintain all electrical parameters within specification limits and are manufactured by Diodes Incorporated with identical base product number (B560).

Parametric Equivalents meet or exceed all critical electrical parameters but may originate from different manufacturers or include automotive-grade qualifications (AEC-Q101).

Functional Alternatives satisfy the primary voltage and current requirements with compatible package types but may exhibit variations in forward voltage, reverse leakage, or capacitance characteristics.

Parts with lower current ratings (3 A) or lower voltage ratings (40 V) are listed for reference but do not constitute direct substitutes for 5 A / 60 V applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Tier 1 - Direct Replacement (Identical Electrical Specifications):

B560C-13-F and B560CQ-13-F are direct replacements manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. Both maintain identical electrical parameters to the obsolete B560C-13. B560C-13-F is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging. B560CQ-13-F includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Both are ROHS3 compliant and represent the primary substitution path for legacy designs.

Tier 2 - Parametric Equivalents (Automotive-Qualified Alternatives):

ACDBC560-HF and CDBC560-HF from Comchip Technology meet the 60 V / 5 A specification with AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. ACDBC560-HF operates to 125°C junction temperature with lower capacitance (210 pF). CDBC560-HF extends to 150°C junction temperature with higher capacitance (380 pF) and slightly elevated forward voltage (750 mV). Both are ROHS3 compliant. CDBC560-G is available in Cut Tape packaging with a -40°C lower operating limit.

Tier 3 - Functional Alternatives (Microchip Technology):

HSM560J/TR13 and HSM560JE3/TR13 from Microchip Technology satisfy the 60 V / 5 A requirement with improved forward voltage characteristics (650 mV) and lower reverse leakage (250 µA). HSM560JE3/TR13 is ROHS3 compliant; HSM560J/TR13 is non-compliant. Both extend to 175°C junction temperature. These parts are suitable for applications where lower forward voltage drop is beneficial.

Not Recommended for Direct Substitution:

MBRS360T3G and NRVBS360T3G are rated for 3 A maximum current and do not meet the 5 A requirement of the B560C-13. SK54L-TP is rated for 40 V maximum reverse voltage and does not meet the 60 V specification. These parts are listed for reference only and are not suitable replacements for 5 A / 60 V applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B560C-13-F be used as a direct replacement for B560C-13?

A: Yes. B560C-13-F is manufactured by Diodes Incorporated and maintains identical electrical specifications: 60 V reverse voltage, 5 A average rectified current, 700 mV forward voltage at 5 A, and identical package (DO-214AB, SMC). The primary difference is product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 vs. Non-compliant). B560C-13-F is the recommended replacement.

Q: What is the difference between B560C-13-F and B560CQ-13-F?

A: Both parts are manufactured by Diodes Incorporated with identical electrical specifications. B560CQ-13-F includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging. B560C-13-F is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel formats. Selection depends on packaging requirements and whether automotive qualification is necessary for the application.

Q: Can I use ACDBC560-HF or CDBC560-HF as substitutes?

A: Yes, with design considerations. Both Comchip Technology parts meet the 60 V / 5 A specification and include AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. ACDBC560-HF operates to 125°C (vs. 150°C for B560C-13), which may limit use in high-temperature applications. CDBC560-HF extends to 150°C but exhibits slightly higher forward voltage (750 mV vs. 700 mV). Verify thermal and voltage drop requirements before selection.

Q: Are there performance advantages to using HSM560J/TR13 or HSM560JE3/TR13?

A: Yes. Microchip Technology parts exhibit lower forward voltage (650 mV vs. 700 mV) and lower reverse leakage (250 µA vs. 500 µA), resulting in reduced power dissipation. Both extend to 175°C junction temperature. HSM560JE3/TR13 is ROHS3 compliant. These parts are suitable for applications where efficiency and thermal performance are critical.

Q: Why are MBRS360T3G and SK54L-TP listed if they cannot replace B560C-13?

A: These parts are included for reference to clarify substitution boundaries. MBRS360T3G and NRVBS360T3G are limited to 3 A current rating and do not meet the 5 A requirement. SK54L-TP is limited to 40 V reverse voltage and does not meet the 60 V specification. Attempting to use these parts in a 5 A / 60 V application will result in device failure or reduced reliability.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: Substitute parts are available in multiple packaging formats: Cut Tape (CT), Digi-Reel, and Tape & Reel (TR). All parts maintain the same surface mount package type (DO-214AB, SMC). Packaging selection depends on manufacturing process requirements and inventory management practices. Verify packaging compatibility with assembly equipment before procurement.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a critical factor in selecting a substitute?

A: RoHS compliance status depends on application requirements and regulatory jurisdiction. B560C-13-F, B560CQ-13-F, ACDBC560-HF, CDBC560-G, CDBC560-HF, and HSM560JE3/TR13 are ROHS3 compliant. HSM560J/TR13 is non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, select ROHS3-compliant alternatives. For legacy or non-regulated applications, non-compliant parts may be acceptable.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same design?

A: All recommended Tier 1 and Tier 2 substitutes are electrically compatible and pin-compatible in the DO-214AB package. However, mixing parts from different manufacturers may introduce minor variations in forward voltage, reverse leakage, and capacitance. For consistency and simplified supply chain management, select a single part number for production designs.
