Product details
Overview
B340B-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 40 V, 3.0 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMB package, featuring 0.50 V forward voltage at 3.0 A, 100 A non-repetitive surge rating, and 0.5 mA peak reverse current at 25°C - used for low-voltage DC/DC converter output rectification and polarity protection in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the B340B-13 datasheet, B340B-13 pinout, B340B-13 application, or B340B-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at rated current, thermal resistance (10 °C/W junction-to-terminal), RMS reverse voltage (28 V), surge capability (100 A, 8.3 ms), and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating for lead-free assembly.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier employs guard ring die construction to enhance transient immunity and supports automatic placement via SMB footprint. Its low VF (0.50 V @ 3.0 A) and fast switching enable high-efficiency operation in 100 kHz–1 MHz DC/DC converters.
Thermal performance is defined by RJT = 10 °C/W (junction-to-terminal) with 5.0 mm² copper pad, and derating begins above 100°C terminal temperature. Capacitance is 250 pF at 1 MHz / 4 V reverse bias, supporting stable high-frequency behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage; sets safe operating limit for input-side clamping or output-side blocking. |
| IO @ TT=100°C | 3.0 A - Continuous average forward current with thermal management; defines usable DC load capacity. |
| VFM @ IF=3.0A | 0.50 V - Forward voltage drop at full rated current; directly determines conduction loss (1.5 W typical). |
| IFSM (8.3ms) | 100 A - Non-repetitive surge rating; enables survival during cold-start inrush or fault transients. |
| RJT | 10 °C/W - Junction-to-terminal thermal resistance; guides heatsinking design when mounted on 5 mm² copper pad. |
| CT @ 1MHz/4V | 250 pF - Junction capacitance; impacts high-frequency switching noise and EMI filter sizing. |
| IRM @ 25°C | 0.5 mA - Peak reverse leakage at rated DC blocking voltage; critical for low-power standby efficiency. |
Pinout & Package
SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package: molded plastic case, UL 94V-0 rated, cathode band marking, matte tin-plated terminals, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., switch node in buck converter); requires low-inductance trace routing. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked with band; ties to output rail or ground return; carries full load current and must handle thermal dissipation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Improves ESD and surge immunity without external TVS; validated per JEDEC transient test methods. |
| Low forward voltage (0.50 V @ 3.0 A) | Reduces conduction loss by ~30% vs. comparable Si diodes; enables higher efficiency in 3.3 V/5 V output rails. |
| 100 A surge rating (8.3 ms) | Withstands single-cycle inrush events in offline SMPS or battery-input systems without degradation. |
| RoHS-compliant matte tin plating | Ensures reliable solderability per MIL-STD-202 Method 208; compatible with lead-free reflow profiles. |
Applications
| DC/DC Converter Output Rectification | Polarity Protection Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated or non-isolated buck/boost converters delivering 3.3 V or 5 V at up to 3 A. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path enabling synchronous or asynchronous rectification; replaces MOSFET+driver in cost-sensitive designs. Use Value: 0.50 V VF minimizes power loss (1.5 W max), improving system efficiency by ≥2% over standard PN diodes at 3 A. | Use Scenario: Reverse-voltage protection at power input of industrial controllers or IoT edge nodes powered by 12–24 V DC sources. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-connected blocking element; conducts only during correct polarity insertion. Use Value: 40 V VRRM provides 2× margin over 24 V nominal supply; 0.5 mA IRM ensures negligible standby drain. |
| Free-Wheeling Diode | Low-Voltage Inverter Clamping |
Use Scenario: Flyback path for inductive loads (e.g., solenoids, relays, motor windings) in 24 V automotive body electronics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss recirculation path during switch-off; suppresses inductive kickback. Use Value: 100 A IFSM handles short-duration energy dumps; 10 °C/W RJT enables rapid heat transfer to PCB copper. | Use Scenario: Clamp diode in half-bridge inverters driving small AC motors or piezo actuators in medical pumps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Limits voltage overshoot across switching devices during commutation transitions. Use Value: 250 pF CT ensures minimal capacitive loading on gate drivers; 28 V VR(RMS) supports continuous 24 VAC-rated operation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS34 (Vishay) | Same SMB package, 40 V VRRM, but VF = 0.55 V @ 3 A and RJT = 12 °C/W. | Slightly higher conduction loss and thermal resistance; suitable where 50 mV VF margin is acceptable. | Select SS34 if dual-sourcing required and 0.05 V higher VF is tolerable in thermal budget. |
| SB340 (ON Semiconductor) | Identical 40 V/3 A rating, but uses legacy SMB package with 0.52 V VF and no guard ring construction. | Lacks transient-hardened die; less robust in noisy industrial environments with frequent line surges. | Prefer B340B-13 where ESD immunity and surge resilience are design-critical, e.g., factory automation interfaces. |
Compared with SS34 and SB340, B340B-13 delivers the lowest forward voltage (0.50 V), best thermal resistance (10 °C/W), and integrated guard ring for transient hardening - making it optimal for high-efficiency, reliability-critical 3 A rectification tasks.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation of B340B-13?
The B340B-13 has a specified operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +125°C. For continuous operation at full 3.0 A current, terminal temperature must be maintained at ≤100°C per the derating curve; exceeding this requires active cooling or current reduction to prevent thermal runaway.
Can B340B-13 replace a standard silicon rectifier like 1N5822 in a 5 V/2 A power supply?
Yes - B340B-13 offers lower forward voltage (0.50 V vs. ~0.9 V for 1N5822), reducing conduction loss by ~45%. Its SMB package matches 1N5822's DO-201AD footprint only with adapter layout; direct replacement requires verifying PCB pad dimensions and thermal relief design.
Is B340B-13 suitable for use in automotive infotainment power stages?
No - while AEC-Q200 qualified variants exist in the B3xx family, B340B-13 itself is not automotive-qualified. It lacks extended temperature validation beyond +125°C junction and has no PPAP documentation; use only in commercial/industrial environments unless explicitly certified.
Does the "B" suffix in B340B-13 indicate SMB package exclusively?
Yes - per Diodes Incorporated's ordering nomenclature, "B" suffix denotes SMB (DO-214AA) package; "A" indicates SMA (DO-214AC), and no suffix indicates SMC (DO-214AB). The -13 suffix specifies 3000-piece tape-and-reel packaging per industry standard.
