SB560-B Schottky Diode Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SB560-B is a Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, rated for 60 V DC reverse voltage and 5 A average rectified current in a DO-201AD axial through-hole package. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts for ongoing design requirements and procurement needs. The SB560-B maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with its active substitute, differing only in product status and packaging configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SB560-B with the SB560-T is based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters across all critical specifications. Both parts share the following determinative characteristics:

• Voltage rating: 60 V DC reverse
• Current rating: 5 A average rectified
• Forward voltage drop: 670 mV at 5 A
• Recovery speed: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA
• Reverse leakage current: 500 µA at 60 V
• Package type: DO-201AD axial through-hole
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 150°C
• Technology: Schottky

The SB560-T represents the active production equivalent of the obsolete SB560-B, with identical electrical performance and mechanical form factor. The only differences are product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging configuration (cut tape versus bulk).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SB560-T is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete SB560-B. Selection of the SB560-T is appropriate for all applications currently using or specifying the SB560-B, as all electrical performance parameters, mechanical dimensions, and thermal characteristics are identical.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and carry identical export classification (EAR99). The SB560-T is available in cut tape packaging, whereas the SB560-B was supplied in bulk form. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and is a procurement consideration only.

The SB560-T is the recommended part for new designs and replacement procurement due to its active product status and current availability. The SB560-B should not be specified for new applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SB560-T directly replace the SB560-B in existing designs?

A: Yes. The SB560-T is electrically and mechanically identical to the SB560-B. All voltage ratings, current ratings, forward voltage characteristics, recovery speed, reverse leakage, operating temperature range, and package dimensions are identical. Direct substitution is valid for all circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between the SB560-B and SB560-T?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging configuration. The SB560-B is obsolete and was supplied in bulk packaging. The SB560-T is an active product supplied in cut tape packaging. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

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

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance, moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), export classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8541.10.0080). Compliance status is equivalent.

Q: Does the cut tape packaging of the SB560-T affect circuit performance?

A: No. Packaging configuration does not affect electrical performance, thermal characteristics, or mechanical fit. The cut tape format is a supply and handling consideration only.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these diodes?

A: Both the SB560-B and SB560-T operate across a junction temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-frequency switching applications?

A: Yes. Both parts feature fast recovery characteristics (≤ 500ns for currents > 200mA), making them suitable for switching power supply and high-frequency rectification applications.
