S5AC Diode Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The S5AC is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions, rated for 50V DC reverse voltage and 5A average rectified current in a surface mount SMC (DO-214AB) package. This component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance can be maintained across different manufacturers or packaging configurations while preserving circuit functionality.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the S5AC are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 50 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 5 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.15 V @ 5 A
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 10 µA @ 50 V
• Speed: Standard Recovery >500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Capacitance @ Vr, F: 40 pF @ 4V, 1MHz
• Package / Case: DO-214AB, SMC
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -65°C to 150°C
• Technology: Standard

The S5AC-13-F from Diodes Incorporated meets all electrical and mechanical parameters specified above, enabling direct substitution in applications requiring a 50V 5A general-purpose rectifier diode in SMC surface mount packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The S5AC-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a direct parametric equivalent to the S5AC. Both components are Active product status and maintain RoHS3 compliance with identical electrical ratings, thermal operating range, and package specifications. The S5AC-13-F is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging, whereas the S5AC is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain availability. Both components satisfy the same regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8541.10.0080) and moisture sensitivity specifications (MSL 1).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the S5AC-13-F replace the S5AC in existing designs?

A: Yes. The S5AC-13-F meets all electrical parameters, thermal specifications, and mechanical compatibility requirements of the S5AC. Both components are rated for 50V DC reverse voltage, 5A average rectified current, and use identical DO-214AB SMC surface mount packaging.

Q: What is the difference between the S5AC and S5AC-13-F?

A: The primary difference is the manufacturer (SMC Diode Solutions versus Diodes Incorporated) and packaging format. The S5AC is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR), while the S5AC-13-F is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® configurations. All electrical and thermal parameters are identical.

Q: Are there packaging compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No. Both the S5AC and S5AC-13-F use the DO-214AB SMC surface mount package with identical mechanical dimensions and pin configurations. They are compatible with the same PCB footprints and assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the S5AC and S5AC-13-F are RoHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0080) classifications.

Q: What should determine the choice between S5AC and S5AC-13-F?

A: Selection should be based on packaging format requirements (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape/Digi-Reel®) and supply chain availability. Electrical performance and thermal characteristics are equivalent.
