SB560-T-01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SB560-T-01 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 part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent and substitute components for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. Active alternatives with identical or compatible electrical and mechanical specifications are available from both the original manufacturer and qualified alternative suppliers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SB560-T-01 is determined by the following critical parameters: voltage rating (60 V DC reverse), current rating (5 A average rectified), forward voltage characteristics, reverse leakage current, fast recovery speed classification, through-hole mounting configuration, and DO-201AD package compatibility. Substitute parts must maintain identical or superior electrical performance within these specifications while meeting the same environmental and compliance standards.

Substitutes are grouped into two categories:

Direct Parametric Equivalent (Identical Specifications): Parts matching all electrical parameters and package requirements with active product status.

Manufacturer-Recommended Alternatives (Functional Equivalents): Parts with compatible voltage and package specifications but differing current ratings or forward voltage characteristics, suitable for applications with reduced current requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SB560-T (Diodes Incorporated): This part is the direct parametric equivalent of the SB560-T-01, offering identical electrical specifications and operating temperature range. The SB560-T maintains active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This substitute is the primary selection for direct replacement in applications requiring the full 5 A current rating and -65°C minimum operating temperature. Packaging is supplied in Cut Tape format.

SR506 A0G (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation): This part provides electrical equivalence to the SB560-T-01 with identical voltage, current, and speed ratings. The SR506 A0G is manufactured by an established alternative supplier with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The operating temperature range is -55°C to 150°C, which is suitable for applications not requiring the extended -65°C minimum temperature. Packaging is supplied in Cut Tape format.

SR306 (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation): This part is a functional alternative suitable for applications with reduced current requirements. The SR306 is rated for 3 A average rectified current at 60 V, compared to the 5 A rating of the SB560-T-01. This substitute is applicable only in circuits designed for 3 A operation or lower. The part maintains active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and fast recovery characteristics. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 150°C. Packaging is supplied in Tape & Reel format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SB560-T directly replace the SB560-T-01 in all applications?

A: Yes. The SB560-T is a direct parametric equivalent with identical voltage rating (60 V), current rating (5 A), forward voltage characteristics (670 mV @ 5 A), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C). Both parts use the DO-201AD axial through-hole package. The primary difference is product status: SB560-T-01 is obsolete while SB560-T is active.

Q: What is the difference between the SB560-T and SR506 A0G?

A: Both parts are electrically equivalent with 60 V, 5 A ratings and identical fast recovery speed. The key difference is the operating temperature range: SB560-T operates from -65°C to 150°C, while SR506 A0G operates from -55°C to 150°C. For applications requiring operation below -55°C, the SB560-T is required. Both use DO-201AD packages and are supplied in Cut Tape packaging.

Q: When is the SR306 an acceptable substitute?

A: The SR306 is acceptable only in applications designed for 3 A operation or lower. This part has a reduced current rating (3 A versus 5 A) compared to the SB560-T-01. The voltage rating (60 V), package type (DO-201AD), and fast recovery characteristics are identical. The SR306 is not suitable for circuits requiring the full 5 A current capacity.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The SB560-T, SR506 A0G, and SR306 are all ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the SB560-T-01.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: SB560-T and SR506 A0G are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. SR306 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. All parts are through-hole mounted in DO-201AD axial configuration.

Q: Does the forward voltage difference between SB560-T-01 (670 mV @ 5 A) and SR506 A0G (700 mV @ 5 A) affect circuit performance?

A: The 30 mV difference in forward voltage at 5 A is within typical Schottky diode manufacturing tolerances. For most applications, this difference has negligible impact on circuit performance. Circuit designs with tight voltage regulation requirements should account for this specification variance.

Q: Can I use SR306 in a circuit originally designed for SB560-T-01?

A: Only if the circuit current requirements do not exceed 3 A. The SR306 is rated for 3 A maximum average rectified current, while the SB560-T-01 is rated for 5 A. Using the SR306 in a 5 A circuit would exceed the part's current rating and result in device failure or degraded performance.
