Primarily specified as an input rectifier to convert alternating line voltage to usable DC, the SD560B is appropriate in an extensive range of uses, such as a general-purpose rectifier, freewheeling diode, or reverse polarity protection device in applications where space is limited and long life and reliability are critical.
The device is employed in an array of electronic devices and equipment, including high voltage regulated power supplies, switchmode power supplies, UPSs, AC/DC adapters/chargers, DC/DC converters, lighting circuits, industrial ballasts, temperature and motor speed control circuits.
SMC’s SD560B provides a low forward voltage drop (VF) of 1.2V max. (IF = 5A) to reduce heat dissipation and maximise energy efficiency, as well as a low idle current of 9µA max. (TA = 25°C, 600V) to minimise reverse energy loss. Typical junction capacitance (Cj) is 50pF @ 4V, 1MHz.
Designed for automated placement efficiencies, the glass-passivated component features a rugged maximum operating junction temperature range of -65°C to 175°C and an MSL moisture sensitivity level of 1 per J-STD-020.
It is RoHS-compliant and supplied in a UL 94V-O rated molded plastic case, made of a “Green” molding compound. Its solder plated terminals are solderable per MIL-STD-750, Method 2026. The rectifier measures 2.5mm (H) x 4.65mm (L) x 3.75mm (W), and weighs approximately 0.68 grams.
Per-piece pricing for the SD560B SMD rectifier ranges from approximately $0.087/1,000 to $0.47/1. Production quantities are immediately available in tape-and-reel. Samples, quotes and parts are available online from Digi-Key.
