Product details
Overview
B340BQ-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 40 V, 3.0 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMB package, featuring 0.5 V max forward voltage at 3.0 A, 0.5 mA max reverse leakage at rated voltage, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use. It serves as a low-loss polarity protection or freewheeling diode in DC/DC converters and power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the B340BQ-13-F datasheet, B340BQ-13-F pinout, B340BQ-13-F application, or B340BQ-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40 V reverse voltage rating, thermal resistance (RθJA = 95 °C/W), surge capability (100 A IFSM), RoHS/Green compliance, and SMB footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses guard ring die construction to enhance transient immunity and supports high-frequency switching up to several MHz due to low junction capacitance (200 pF at 4 V). Its low VF enables reduced conduction loss in low-voltage (<12 V) power paths.
Designed for operation from –55 °C to +150 °C, it maintains stable leakage current (<0.5 mA at 25 °C, <20 mA at 100 °C) and delivers 3.0 A average forward current when case temperature is held at 100 °C per derating curve.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for DC blocking in 24 V systems. |
| IO (AV) | 3.0 A @ TT = +100 °C - Sustained DC output current capability under thermal-limited conditions. |
| VF Max | 0.50 V @ IF = 3.0 A - Low conduction loss enabling >92% efficiency in 5 V–12 V buck converter outputs. |
| IR Max | 0.5 mA @ VR = 40 V, TA = +25 °C - Minimal standby power drain in always-on polarity protection circuits. |
| IFSM | 100 A @ 8.3 ms half-sine - Withstands inrush surges in motor drive freewheeling and hot-swap applications. |
| RθJA | 95 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR-4 PCB; defines heatsinking requirement for 3 A continuous load. |
| CT | 200 pF @ VR = 4 V, f = 1 MHz - Low capacitance preserves switching speed in high-frequency (>100 kHz) SMPS designs. |

Applications
| Power Supply Polarity Protection | DC Motor Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Prevents damage from reverse battery connection in 12 V automotive ECUs and industrial controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current gate placed between input connector and main regulator IC. Use Value: 0.5 V VF minimizes voltage drop and heat generation during normal operation; 100 A IFSM handles accidental short-circuit transients. | Use Scenario: Suppresses inductive kickback in brushed DC motor drivers used in HVAC actuators and seat adjusters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling path across motor coil during PWM off-time. Use Value: Fast recovery (no minority carrier storage) eliminates tail current, reducing MOSFET switching loss and EMI. |
| Low-Voltage DC/DC Output Rectification | USB-C Power Delivery Clamp |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 5 V/3.3 V synchronous-buck-derived supplies for microcontrollers and sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier replacing synchronous MOSFET where cost or layout simplicity is prioritized. Use Value: 200 pF CT and low VF maintain efficiency above 90% at 1–2 MHz switching frequencies. | Use Scenario: Reverse-polarity clamp on USB-C VBUS line in portable docking stations and power banks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fail-safe shunt path that activates only during miswiring events. Use Value: 0.5 mA IR at 20 V ensures negligible quiescent current draw during normal 5–20 V 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 IR = 0.5 mA - slightly higher conduction loss. | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; limited to commercial-grade consumer power supplies. | Select SS34 only if automotive qualification is not required and cost is primary driver. |
| SB340 (ON Semiconductor) | Identical electrical specs (40 V, 3 A, 0.5 V VF), but RθJA = 100 °C/W - 5% higher thermal resistance than B340BQ-13-F. | Qualified to AEC-Q101 but lacks PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing certification. | Choose SB340 only for non-PPAP automotive prototypes; B340BQ-13-F preferred for production release. |
Compared with SS34 and SB340, B340BQ-13-F delivers superior thermal performance (RθJA = 95 °C/W), full PPAP support, and guaranteed IATF 16949 traceability-critical for Tier-1 automotive suppliers requiring audit-ready documentation and supply continuity.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The B340BQ-13-F has an operating junction temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C. For continuous 3.0 A DC operation, the case temperature must be maintained at ≤100 °C per the forward current derating curve. Exceeding this requires thermal design mitigation such as copper pour or forced airflow.
Is the SMB package lead-free and compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes. The B340BQ-13-F uses matte tin-plated terminals and complies with J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity. It supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 10–30 sec above 217 °C) without pre-baking or special handling.
Does this part support bidirectional current flow?
No. As a Schottky barrier rectifier, the B340BQ-13-F conducts only from anode to cathode. Reverse conduction is blocked up to 40 V; attempting bidirectional use will result in catastrophic failure under reverse bias exceeding VRRM.
How does the guard ring construction improve reliability?
The guard ring die structure reduces electric field crowding at the silicon edge, raising the effective breakdown voltage margin and improving immunity to ESD (≥8 kV contact per IEC 61000-4-2) and fast transients-critical in automotive environments with load dump and jump-start events.
