SR560 (SB560) Schottky Barrier Rectifier Diodes 5A 60V

Introduction to SR560. The SR560 is a Schottky diode mainly employed in extremely fast switching applications. High surge current capability device, SR560 is highly efficient and reliable and comes with a maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage of 60V while the maximum RMS voltage is 42V. Read this post all the way through, as I’ll discuss the Introduction to SR560 covering datasheet, pinout, features, and applications. Let’s get started.

Introduction to SR560

The SR560 is a Schottky diode mainly employed in extremely fast switching purposes.

It is also called a hot-carrier diode that comes with low forward drop voltage.

It is available in the DO-201AD package with a maximum DC blocking voltage of 60V. The storage temperature range is -55 to 150 C while the average maximum forward current is 5A.

The SR560 carries two terminals called anode and cathode.

Low power loss and low-cost device, SR560 carries a low forward voltage drop. It weighs only 1.1g and the colored band on the device indicates the cathode terminal while the other end is the anode terminal.

Schottky diode is also called a hot-carrier diode. This diode exhibits low electronic energy in an unbiased condition. A barrier is formed due to this low energy that restricts the electron movement. Since a barrier is constructed, a reason this device is also called a hot carrier diode.

Both Schottky diode and common diode are the same when it comes to the flow of current i.e. both favor the current flow in one direction and restrict it in opposite direction.

These diodes are different in terms of the voltage needed to power up these diodes.

Both diodes require 2V DC source voltage where the Schottky diode needs only 0.3V, leaving behind 1.7V to power up the diode. And common diode requires only 0.7V, leaving behind 1.3V to power up the diode.
