FSV560 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FSV560 is a Schottky rectifier diode rated for 60 V DC reverse voltage and 5 A average rectified current in a surface mount TO-277-3 package. This component is classified as "Not For New Designs" by the manufacturer onsemi, indicating it has reached end-of-life status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary for ongoing production support, maintenance applications, and design continuity where this diode was previously specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FSV560 is determined by matching the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 60 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 5 A
• Technology: Schottky
• Speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C ~ 150°C

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: TO-277, 3-PowerDFN
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute parts listed below meet these core requirements. Variations in forward voltage (Vf), reverse leakage current, and package designations (TO-277-3, TO-277B, TO-277A, TO-277) are within acceptable tolerances for this diode category and do not prevent functional substitution in applications designed for the FSV560.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DST560S-A (Littelfuse Inc.) is a direct manufacturer substitute with active product status. This part meets all core electrical and mechanical specifications. The forward voltage is 80 mV higher (750 mV vs. 670 mV @ 5 A) and reverse leakage current is elevated (700 µA vs. 150 µA @ 60 V). The DST560S-A carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. REACH status is listed as Vendor Undefined.

SS5P6-M3/86A (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division) is a similar manufacturer substitute with active product status. This part is part of the eSMP® series and meets all core electrical and mechanical specifications. Forward voltage (690 mV @ 5 A) and reverse leakage current (150 µA @ 60 V) closely match the FSV560. The package designation is TO-277A (SMPC). REACH status is Unaffected.

SV560L_R2_00001 (Panjit International Inc.) is a parametric equivalent with active product status. This part provides the closest electrical match to the FSV560, with identical forward voltage (670 mV @ 5 A) and reverse leakage current (150 µA @ 60 V). The package designation is TO-277. REACH status is Unaffected.

All three substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and operate across the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 150°C). Selection among these substitutes should be based on application requirements, supply chain availability, and any specific automotive or industrial certifications needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FSV560 be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts meet the core electrical specifications (60 V reverse voltage, 5 A average rectified current, Schottky technology, fast recovery speed) and mechanical requirements (surface mount, TO-277 package family, ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1). Functional substitution is valid across all three alternatives.

Q: What are the differences between the TO-277-3, TO-277B, TO-277A, and TO-277 package designations?

A: These designations represent variations within the TO-277 PowerDFN package family. All are 3-pin surface mount packages with identical electrical performance and thermal characteristics. The suffix letters (3, B, A) indicate minor physical or manufacturing variations that do not affect electrical compatibility or PCB footprint compatibility in standard applications.

Q: Why does the DST560S-A have higher forward voltage and reverse leakage current than the FSV560?

A: Forward voltage and reverse leakage current are process-dependent parameters that vary within acceptable ranges across different manufacturers and production lots. The DST560S-A specifications remain within acceptable operating limits for 60 V, 5 A Schottky diode applications. Applications sensitive to these parameters should be evaluated against specific circuit requirements.

Q: Is the SS5P6-M3/86A suitable for automotive applications?

A: The SS5P6-M3/86A does not carry explicit automotive qualification in the provided data. The DST560S-A carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. For automotive applications, the DST560S-A is the recommended choice.

Q: What is the difference between "Direct Manufacturer Substitute," "Similar Manufacturer Substitute," and "Parametric Equivalent"?

A: These classifications reflect the degree of electrical and mechanical alignment with the FSV560. Direct substitutes (DST560S-A) are offered as replacements by the manufacturer. Similar substitutes (SS5P6-M3/86A) meet specifications with minor variations. Parametric equivalents (SV560L_R2_00001) provide the closest electrical match. All three are functionally interchangeable for the FSV560.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: All parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings. The DST560S-A has AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. REACH status varies: FSV560 and SS5P6-M3/86A are REACH Unaffected; SV560L_R2_00001 is REACH Unaffected; DST560S-A is Vendor Undefined. Verify REACH compliance requirements with your supply chain for the DST560S-A if REACH documentation is required.
