S5JC General Purpose Rectifier Diode 600V 5A SMC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The S5JC is a general purpose rectifier diode manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions, designed for surface mount applications in the DO-214AB (SMC) package. This component operates at 600V reverse voltage with a 5A average rectified current rating and is classified as Active product status. The diode employs standard recovery technology suitable for general rectification applications across industrial and consumer electronics.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are maintained across all critical parameters, enabling seamless integration into existing designs while accommodating supply chain variations or inventory availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the S5JC are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitution logic requires that all critical parameters remain identical across the following categories:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 600 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 @ 600 V
• Capacitance @ Vr, F: 40 pF @ 4V, 1MHz

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

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

Compliance Parameters:

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

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The S5JC-13-F manufactured by Diodes Incorporated is a direct parametric equivalent to the S5JC. All electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, thermal characteristics, and compliance certifications are identical. Both components are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Selection Considerations Based on Provided Parameters:

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format. The S5JC is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the S5JC-13-F is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® formats. This difference affects procurement and assembly processes but does not impact electrical or thermal performance.

REACH status differs between the two parts: S5JC carries REACH Affected designation while S5JC-13-F is REACH Unaffected. This distinction is relevant for applications subject to REACH regulatory requirements in specific geographic markets.

Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0080) classifications, indicating equivalent export and tariff treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can S5JC-13-F be used as a direct replacement for S5JC in existing designs?

A: Yes. All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, thermal ratings, and compliance certifications are identical. The components are functionally interchangeable at the circuit level.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on reels, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® formats provide smaller quantities on cut tape segments, suitable for lower-volume production or manual assembly. The diode itself is identical in both formats.

Q: Are there any thermal performance differences between S5JC and S5JC-13-F?

A: No. Both components operate across the identical temperature range of -65°C to 150°C junction temperature and exhibit identical forward voltage drop (1.15 V @ 5 A) and reverse leakage characteristics (10 µA @ 600 V).

Q: Does REACH status affect component functionality?

A: No. REACH status is a regulatory classification indicating compliance with European chemical substance regulations. It does not alter electrical performance, thermal characteristics, or reliability. Selection based on REACH status depends on application location and regulatory requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same PCB assembly processes?

A: Yes. Both components use identical DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount packages and are compatible with standard reflow soldering processes. Packaging format differences (TR versus CT/Digi-Reel) affect material handling and feeder compatibility but not soldering or assembly methodology.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating?

A: MSL 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. Both S5JC and S5JC-13-F carry this rating, eliminating moisture-related storage constraints.

Q: Can these parts be mixed in the same production batch?

A: Yes. Electrical and mechanical equivalence permits interchangeable use. However, packaging format differences may require separate feeder setup in automated assembly equipment.
