Product details
Overview
B330-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 30 V, 3.0 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMC package, with maximum forward voltage of 0.50 V at 3.0 A and reverse leakage current ≤0.1 mA at 25°C, designed for low-voltage, high-frequency polarity protection and freewheeling in DC power supplies and motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the B330-13 datasheet, B330-13 pinout, B330-13 application, or B330-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 100 A non-repetitive surge rating, 20 °C/W junction-to-terminal thermal resistance, RoHS-compliant lead-free plating, and JEDEC-qualified reliability for commercial and industrial environments.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses guard ring die construction to enhance transient immunity and suppress avalanche-induced failure during inductive switching events. Its low forward voltage drop and fast recovery (inherently <10 ns) minimize conduction loss and switching loss in high-frequency DC/DC converters and synchronous rectification circuits.
The device operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and features 90 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard glass-epoxy PCBs. Its 200 pF capacitance at 4 V reverse bias supports stable performance in EMI-sensitive freewheeling paths without requiring external snubbers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 30 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in polarity protection and flyback clamp applications |
| IO | 3.0 A - Average rectified output current; supports continuous 3.0 A DC load in ambient up to +75°C with proper PCB copper area |
| VF Max | 0.50 V @ 3.0 A - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in 5–12 V input DC/DC stages |
| IR Max | 0.1 mA @ 30 V, 25°C - Minimal leakage preserves battery life in always-on backup power rails |
| IFSM | 100 A @ 8.3 ms - Withstands motor startup surges and capacitor inrush without degradation |

Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), molded plastic body with matte tin-plated terminals, cathode band marking, moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020, weight ≈0.21 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal under forward bias | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path) in polarity protection; must be routed with low-inductance trace |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal under forward bias; marked with band | Connected to positive rail input; serves as clamping node in freewheeling diode configuration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB330-E3/52T (Vishay) | Same 30 V VRRM, 3 A IO, but VF = 0.52 V @ 3 A; RθJA = 95 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W | Slightly higher thermal resistance requires larger copper area for same current derating | Prefer B330-13 when board space is constrained and thermal margin is tight |
| SS33 (ON Semiconductor) | 30 V VRRM, 3 A IO, VF = 0.55 V @ 3 A; IR = 0.5 mA @ 25°C (5× higher leakage) | Higher leakage reduces suitability in battery-backed standby circuits | Prefer B330-13 for always-on systems where quiescent current budget is <100 µA |
Compared with SB330-E3/52T and SS33, B330-13 delivers lower forward voltage and tighter leakage control within identical SMC footprint, making it optimal for thermally dense 12 V–24 V industrial power rails where efficiency and long-term reliability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation of B330-13?
The B330-13 has a specified operating junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. For continuous 3.0 A operation, thermal design must ensure junction temperature remains ≤150°C, typically achieved using ≥25 mm² of 2 oz copper on both sides of the PCB with thermal vias under the SMC pad.
Does B330-13 require a heatsink for 3 A DC current handling?
No dedicated heatsink is required if mounted on a PCB with ≥25 mm² of 2 oz copper per terminal and thermal vias. At 3.0 A and 25°C ambient, junction temperature rises ~60°C above ambient (3.0 A × 0.5 V × 20 °C/W = 30°C self-heating + 30°C conduction rise), staying well below 150°C.
Is B330-13 suitable for automotive applications?
The standard B330-13 is qualified to JEDEC standards for commercial reliability. For automotive use, Diodes offers the AEC-Q200-qualified B330Q-13 variant; the -13 version is not certified for under-hood or safety-critical vehicle systems.
How does the guard ring structure improve transient performance?
The guard ring die construction prevents premature edge breakdown during voltage transients by redistributing electric field stress away from the active junction periphery, increasing the device's ability to withstand repetitive 100 A surge events without parameter shift or catastrophic failure.
