PDS540-13D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PDS540-13D is a Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, rated for 40 V DC reverse voltage and 5 A average rectified current in a PowerDI™ 5 surface mount package. This component is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility within the PowerDI™ 5 package family. Alternative part numbers may be required due to packaging format availability, supply chain considerations, or specific qualification requirements for end-use applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PDS540-13D are qualified based on electrical parameter equivalence and mechanical compatibility. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications: 40 V maximum reverse voltage, 5 A average rectified current, 520 mV maximum forward voltage at 5 A, and 250 µA reverse leakage current at 40 V. All parts utilize the same PowerDI™ 5 surface mount package and Schottky diode technology.

Substitution is determined by the following key parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 40 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 5 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 520 mV @ 5 A
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 250 µA @ 40 V
• Package / Case: PowerDI™ 5
• Technology: Schottky
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -65°C ~ 150°C

Differences between substitute parts relate to packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel) and automotive qualification status. The PDS540Q-13 variant includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, while PDS540-13 is available in standard commercial packaging formats.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three part numbers—PDS540-13D, PDS540-13, and PDS540Q-13—are electrically and mechanically equivalent within the PowerDI™ 5 package family. Selection between these parts is determined by application requirements and packaging availability.

PDS540-13D and PDS540-13 are functionally identical commercial-grade Schottky rectifier diodes suitable for general-purpose rectification applications. Both maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. The primary distinction is packaging format: PDS540-13D is supplied in unspecified packaging, while PDS540-13 is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format for automated assembly processes.

PDS540Q-13 is the automotive-qualified variant, certified to AEC-Q101 standard and supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This part is appropriate for automotive and mission-critical applications requiring formal automotive qualification documentation. Electrical performance is identical to the commercial variants.

Selection criteria:

• For standard commercial applications with standard packaging requirements: PDS540-13
• For automotive or AEC-Q101 qualified applications: PDS540Q-13
• For applications with specific packaging format constraints: verify packaging availability against assembly equipment specifications

All parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are PDS540-13D, PDS540-13, and PDS540Q-13 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical specifications: 40 V maximum reverse voltage, 5 A average rectified current, 520 mV maximum forward voltage at 5 A, and 250 µA reverse leakage current at 40 V. They are functionally equivalent in circuit operation.

Q: What is the difference between PDS540-13 and PDS540Q-13?

A: The primary difference is automotive qualification. PDS540Q-13 is certified to AEC-Q101 automotive standard, while PDS540-13 is a commercial-grade part. Both maintain identical electrical specifications and PowerDI™ 5 package compatibility. PDS540Q-13 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format; PDS540-13 is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format.

Q: Can I substitute PDS540-13 for PDS540Q-13 in an automotive application?

A: Electrical substitution is possible based on parameter equivalence. However, automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101 qualification must use PDS540Q-13 to maintain compliance with automotive qualification standards.

Q: Are all three parts available in the same package?

A: All three parts use the PowerDI™ 5 surface mount package. Packaging formats differ: PDS540-13D uses unspecified packaging, PDS540-13 uses Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel®, and PDS540Q-13 uses Tape & Reel (TR). Verify packaging format compatibility with your assembly equipment before selection.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the operating temperature range?

A: The junction operating temperature range for all three parts is -65°C to 150°C.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes, provided the PCB layout and assembly process accommodate the specific packaging format of the selected part. All three parts use identical PowerDI™ 5 footprints and electrical characteristics.
