Product details
Overview
B330AF-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 30 V, 3 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMAF package, featuring 0.50 V max forward voltage at 3 A and 0.20 mA max reverse leakage at 30 V/25°C, optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC boost stages in power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the B330AF-13 datasheet, B330AF-13 pinout, B330AF-13 application, or B330AF-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low VF stability up to +125°C, thermal resistance (RθJA = 85°C/W), junction capacitance (140 pF @ 4 V), and RoHS-compliant matte tin finish on copper leadframe.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses a planar epitaxial construction with low-barrier metal-semiconductor junction to achieve minimal conduction loss and suppressed reverse recovery charge-critical for high-frequency switching topologies like synchronous buck-boost converters. Its 30 V VRRM rating targets 24 V input rail applications where margin against transient overvoltage is required.
The device exhibits stable IR ≤ 0.20 mA at VR = 30 V and TJ = +25°C, rising to ≤14.0 mA at +125°C-enabling reliable operation in thermally constrained environments such as enclosed industrial power modules without thermal runaway risk.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 30 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; sets upper limit for input transient tolerance in 24 V systems |
| IO (AV) | 3 A - Continuous average forward current at TA = +25°C; derates to ~1.5 A at +100°C per Figure 4 |
| VF (max) | 0.50 V @ IF = 3 A, TJ = +25°C - Directly reduces conduction loss (1.5 W max) and improves system efficiency |
| IR (max) | 0.20 mA @ VR = 30 V, TJ = +25°C - Low leakage preserves standby power budget in always-on circuits |
| RθJA | 85 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR-4 PCB; defines minimum heatsinking requirement |
| CT | 140 pF @ VR = 4.0 V, f = 1 MHz - Limits high-frequency switching noise and EMI in >100 kHz converters |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMAF (Surface Mount Axial Flat), molded plastic case with UL 94V-0 rating, cathode band polarity marking, 0.036 g weight, and matte tin–annealed copper leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in boost topology); requires low-inductance layout |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked by band; ties to output rail or ground return; carries full load current and must handle surge IFSM = 80 A |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage drop | VF ≤ 0.50 V @ 3 A ensures <1.5 W conduction loss at full load-reducing thermal stress in compact enclosures |
| High-temperature reverse leakage control | IR ≤ 14.0 mA @ 30 V/+125°C prevents thermal runaway during sustained high-ambient operation |
| RoHS-compliant matte tin finish | Lead-free, halogen- and antimony-free plating enables compliant assembly without solderability compromise |
| SMAF package thermal performance | RθJC = 45 °C/W allows efficient heat transfer to PCB copper pads-critical for unforced-air industrial designs |
Applications
| Boost Diodes | Blocking Diodes |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used in non-isolated boost converters for 12–24 V input to 48 V output telecom power supplies. IC Role / Device Role: Freewheeling path during high-side switch off-time; conducts full output current. Use Value: 0.50 V VF minimizes power loss and temperature rise under 3 A continuous load, extending converter lifetime. | Use Scenario: Prevents reverse current flow from battery backup to main supply in UPS modules. IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional isolation element placed between dual power sources. Use Value: 30 V VRRM provides sufficient margin against battery float voltage transients up to 28.8 V. |
| Recirculating Diodes | OR-ing Diodes |
Use Scenario: Provides current path for inductive kickback in solenoid drivers for industrial PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role: Clamps back-EMF across relay coils or motor windings during turn-off. Use Value: 80 A IFSM rating withstands short-duration inductive surges without degradation. | Use Scenario: Enables redundant 12 V power rails in network switch line cards. IC Role / Device Role: Forward-biased diode in parallel power paths to prevent backfeed between supplies. Use Value: Low VF ensures minimal voltage drop and balanced current sharing between redundant sources. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB330-E3/57T (Vishay) | Same VRRM (30 V), IO (3 A), VF (0.52 V max), but TO-277 package (higher RθJA ≈ 100°C/W) | Requires larger PCB footprint and additional thermal relief; less suitable for ultra-thin designs | Select if legacy TO-277 footprint compatibility is required over space-constrained SMAF layouts |
| SS33 (ON Semiconductor) | Identical SMA package, same VF (0.50 V), but higher IR (0.5 mA @ 30 V/25°C) and no 125°C IR spec | Less robust in high-temp industrial ambient; may increase standby power in sealed enclosures | Prefer B330AF-13 where long-term reliability at +125°C ambient is mandatory |
Compared with SB330-E3/57T and SS33, B330AF-13 delivers superior thermal performance in minimal area (SMAF), tighter IR control at elevated temperature, and verified 125°C leakage stability-making it optimal for space- and reliability-critical 24 V industrial power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation of B330AF-13?
The B330AF-13 has an operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. For continuous operation at rated IO = 3 A, thermal design must ensure TJ does not exceed +150°C-achievable with RθJA = 85°C/W and TA ≤ +85°C on standard FR-4 PCB per Figure 4 derating curve.
Is B330AF-13 suitable for use in automotive applications?
B330AF-13 meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for passive components but is not AEC-Q101 qualified as a discrete semiconductor. It is used in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems (e.g., infotainment power rails) where ambient temperatures remain within –40°C to +105°C and customer qualification is performed.
How does the SMAF package compare to SMA in thermal performance?
SMAF is a flattened variant of SMA with reduced height (typ. 1.1 mm vs. SMA's 2.3 mm) and identical pad layout. Its RθJA = 85°C/W matches standard SMA when mounted per Diodes' recommended pad dimensions-enabling direct replacement while enabling thinner end-equipment profiles.
Can B330AF-13 replace B320AF-13 in existing designs?
Yes-B330AF-13 shares identical package (SMAF), pinout, VF (0.50 V), and IO (3 A) with B320AF-13, differing only in VRRM (30 V vs. 20 V). It is a direct upgrade where higher reverse voltage margin is needed, with no layout or thermal redesign required.
