Product details
Overview
B330A-13-F 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. It delivers low power loss and high efficiency for DC-DC converters, freewheeling diode applications, and polarity protection circuits in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the B330A-13-F datasheet, B330A-13-F pinout, B330A-13-F application, or B330A-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30 V reverse blocking rating, thermal resistance (140 °C/W junction-to-ambient), RoHS-compliant lead-free plating, AEC-Q101 qualification, and cathode-band polarity marking.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses guard ring die construction to enhance transient voltage immunity and improve reliability under repetitive surge conditions. Its low VF (≤0.50 V @ 3 A) minimizes conduction losses in high-frequency switching topologies, while its 80 A non-repetitive peak forward surge current supports robust operation during load transients.
The device operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, confirming suitability for automotive-grade power management. Thermal performance is specified with two RθJA values (140 °C/W on FR-4, 100 °C/W on glass epoxy), reflecting real-world PCB layout dependencies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 30 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe DC blocking capability in 24 V system rails |
| IO | 3.0 A - average rectified output current at TT = +100 °C; sets continuous power handling limit |
| VF (max) | 0.50 V @ 3.0 A - ensures ≤1.5 W conduction loss per diode in high-efficiency buck converter outputs |
| IR (max) | 0.5 mA @ 30 V - low leakage preserves battery runtime in always-on polarity protection circuits |
| IFSM | 80 A - withstands single half-sine surge (8.3 ms); supports motor drive flyback energy dissipation |
| RθJA | 140 °C/W - requires ≥25 mm² copper pad on FR-4 to maintain TJ < 150 °C at full load |
| Package | SMA - industry-standard surface-mount outline (4.0–4.6 mm length, 2.29–2.92 mm width) compatible with automated pick-and-place |
Pinout & Package
SMA package: molded plastic case, cathode band marking, matte-tin lead-free terminals, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, 0.064 g weight.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

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 (max @ 3 A); RθJA = 130 °C/W | Slightly higher conduction loss; tighter thermal resistance improves margin on small pads | Select when board space allows smaller thermal pad or when Vishay's qualification history is preferred |
| SS33 (ON Semiconductor) | 30 V VRRM, 3 A IO, VF = 0.55 V (max @ 3 A); not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive reliability validation; suitable only for commercial-grade systems | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer power supplies where AEC-Q101 is not required |
Compared with SB330-E3/52T and SS33, B330A-13-F offers the lowest forward voltage (0.50 V) and formal AEC-Q101 qualification-critical for automotive and industrial designs requiring long-term reliability under thermal cycling and surge stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation of B330A-13-F?
The B330A-13-F has a rated operating junction temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C. For continuous 3.0 A operation, thermal design must ensure TJ remains ≤150 °C-achievable with ≥25 mm² copper pad on FR-4 (RθJA = 140 °C/W) and ambient ≤75 °C.
Is B330A-13-F suitable for use in automotive under-hood applications?
Yes. B330A-13-F is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, including high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling, and unclamped inductive switching tests. Its –55 °C to +150 °C operating range and guard ring die construction meet requirements for engine control units and lighting modules.
How does the cathode band marking align with the SMA package pinout?
The cathode band on the B330A-13-F SMA package identifies the cathode terminal, located at the end of the body opposite the anode. When viewed from the top with marking side up and band on the left, the left lead is cathode and right lead is anode-consistent with JEDEC standard SMA orientation.
Can B330A-13-F replace B320A-13-F in existing designs?
Yes, with design verification. B330A-13-F shares identical SMA package, pinout, and thermal characteristics with B320A-13-F, but offers higher 30 V VRRM (vs. 20 V) and same 0.50 V VF. It provides improved voltage margin in 24 V systems without layout changes, though layout parasitics should be rechecked for higher-voltage transients.
