S5BC Diode Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The S5BC is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions, rated for 100V 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, enabling procurement flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the S5BC are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 100 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 5 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.15 V @ 5 A
• Speed: Standard Recovery >500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 10 µA @ 100 V
• Capacitance @ Vr, F: 40 pF @ 4V, 1MHz

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package / Case: DO-214AB, SMC
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -65°C to 150°C

Compliance Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts may differ in manufacturer identity, packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape), and REACH status, provided all electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the S5BC and S5BC-13-F are Active product status components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on the following factors:

Packaging Format: The S5BC is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the S5BC-13-F is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® formats. Choose based on assembly equipment compatibility and procurement volume requirements.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0080) classifications. The S5BC-13-F is REACH Unaffected, while the S5BC is REACH Affected. For applications subject to REACH restrictions, the S5BC-13-F provides regulatory advantage.

Inventory Availability: The S5BC-13-F maintains higher stock levels (6713 Pcs) compared to the S5BC (940 Pcs), supporting supply chain continuity for high-volume production.

Manufacturer Qualification: Both manufacturers produce equivalent components meeting identical performance criteria. Selection may depend on existing supplier relationships and qualification documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the S5BC-13-F directly replace the S5BC in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical parameters (100V reverse voltage, 5A average rectified current, 1.15V forward voltage drop), identical mechanical specifications (DO-214AB SMC package, surface mount), and identical operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C). Direct substitution is supported without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, suitable for high-speed automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging provide components on cut tape segments or alternative reel formats, accommodating different assembly equipment and lower-volume requirements. Electrical and mechanical performance is identical.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS3 compliant with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The S5BC-13-F is REACH Unaffected, while the S5BC is REACH Affected. For applications in REACH-restricted regions, the S5BC-13-F is the preferred selection.

Q: Do these diodes have identical thermal characteristics?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the same junction temperature range (-65°C to 150°C) and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions.

Q: What recovery speed classification applies to these diodes?

A: Both parts are classified as Standard Recovery with recovery time >500ns at currents >200mA (Io). This classification indicates suitability for general-purpose rectification applications where fast switching is not required.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production?

A: Yes, provided assembly equipment is compatible with the supplied packaging format. The S5BC (Tape & Reel) and S5BC-13-F (Cut Tape / Digi-Reel®) are electrically and mechanically equivalent. Verify packaging compatibility with your assembly process before implementation.
