Product details
Overview
B330A-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 30 V, 3.0 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMA package, featuring 0.50 V max forward voltage at 3 A and 0.5 mA max reverse leakage at rated voltage, optimized for low-loss DC-DC converters and freewheeling paths in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the B330A-13 datasheet, B330A-13 pinout, B330A-13 application, or B330A-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30 V reverse blocking rating, thermal resistance of 140 °C/W (junction-to-ambient), RoHS-compliant lead-free plating, AEC-Q101 qualification, and cathode-band polarity marking for automated assembly verification.
Technical Context
The B330A-13 employs guard ring die construction to suppress transient-induced avalanche breakdown and sustain reliable operation under repetitive surge conditions up to 80 A (8.3 ms half-sine). Its low VF enables high-efficiency rectification in 12 V and 24 V input DC-DC stages where conduction loss dominates thermal design.
Designed for surface-mount reflow assembly on FR-4 PCBs with minimum pad layout per AP02001, it operates from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature and exhibits 200 pF typical junction capacitance at 4 V reverse bias-critical for EMI control in high-frequency switching nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 30 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for DC bus or flyback clamp voltage |
| IO(AV) | 3.0 A @ TT = +100°C - Continuous average forward current derated for thermal management on standard PCB |
| VF(max) | 0.50 V @ IF = 3.0 A, TA = +25°C - Directly determines conduction loss (1.5 W max at full load) and heatsink requirements |
| IR(max) | 0.5 mA @ VRRM, TA = +25°C - Low leakage preserves efficiency in battery-backed or standby circuits |
| RθJA | 140 °C/W - Thermal resistance defining junction temperature rise above ambient; requires ≥100 mm² copper pour for full 3 A rating |
| CT | 200 pF @ VR = 4 V, f = 1 MHz - Junction capacitance influencing high-frequency switching noise and snubber design |
| IFSM | 80 A @ 8.3 ms half-sine - Surge capability supports inrush current handling in offline SMPS inputs |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), molded plastic case with matte-tin plated terminals, cathode band marking, and UL 94V-0 flammability rating. Weight: 0.064 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., switch node in buck converter); must route with low-inductance trace |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked with band; ties to output rail or ground return; defines polarity protection direction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Suppresses edge breakdown during voltage transients, enabling robust operation in noisy automotive environments |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per stress test plan |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Meets RoHS 2 (2011/65/EU) and JEDEC JS709C green standards (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) |
| Low thermal resistance junction-to-terminal | RθJT = 25 °C/W - Enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper when mounted with recommended pad layout |
| Moisture sensitivity level | MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 - No bake required prior to reflow; supports standard SMT line handling |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS33-E3/57T (Vishay) | Same 30 V VRRM, 3 A IO, but VF = 0.52 V max; RθJA = 130 °C/W; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not qualified for automotive; suitable for commercial-grade AC-DC adapters | Select if cost-sensitive and AEC-Q101 not required; verify thermal margin with lower RθJA |
| SB330 (ON Semiconductor) | 30 V VRRM, 3 A IO, VF = 0.52 V max; RθJA = 125 °C/W; AEC-Q101 qualified; different marking code | Identical automotive qualification; slightly higher VF increases conduction loss by ~40 mW at 3 A | Prefer for second-source assurance in automotive programs; validate marking compatibility in AOI inspection |
Compared with SS33-E3/57T and SB330, the B330A-13 offers the lowest VF (0.50 V) among 30 V/3 A Schottkys, delivering best-in-class conduction efficiency, while maintaining full AEC-Q101 compliance and industry-standard SMA footprint for drop-in replacement in space-constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation of the B330A-13?
The B330A-13 has a specified operating junction temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C. For continuous 3.0 A operation, thermal design must ensure TJ does not exceed +150 °C-achievable with proper PCB copper area (≥100 mm² per pad) and ambient temperature ≤+70 °C per Fig. 6 derating curve.
Is the B330A-13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes-the B330A-13 uses matte-tin lead-free plating and is qualified for standard IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260 °C. Its MSL Level 1 rating means no pre-bake is required, supporting direct placement into high-volume SMT lines.
How does the guard ring structure improve reliability in automotive applications?
The guard ring die construction prevents premature edge breakdown during load-dump transients (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a), allowing the B330A-13 to sustain 30 V reverse bias under harsh electrical conditions without parametric shift or failure-key for BCM and infotainment power rails.
Can the B330A-13 replace the B320A-13 in an existing design?
Yes-both share identical SMA package, pinout, and thermal characteristics, but the B330A-13 offers higher 30 V VRRM versus 20 V for the B320A-13. Designers must verify that increased reverse voltage rating does not affect circuit behavior (e.g., snubber sizing) and that system transients remain within new 30 V margin.
