Product details
Overview
B340LA-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0A, 40V low-forward-voltage Schottky barrier rectifier in SMA package, featuring VF ≤ 0.35 V at IF = 3.0 A, 70 A non-repetitive surge rating, and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating. It serves as a high-efficiency output rectifier in DC/DC converters and AC/DC secondary-side applications.
For engineers reviewing the B340LA-13-F datasheet, B340LA-13-F pinout, B340LA-13-F application, or B340LA-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at rated current, thermal resistance (RθJT = 35 °C/W), reverse leakage at 40 V, surge capability, and SMA package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This discrete Schottky diode uses guard ring die construction to enhance transient robustness and suppress avalanche-induced failure. Its low VF enables reduced conduction loss in high-frequency switching power supplies operating up to 150 °C junction temperature.
The device exhibits typical CT = 180 pF at VR = 4.0 V and shows minimal VF increase across -55 °C to +150 °C, supporting stable performance in automotive and industrial ambient environments where thermal cycling is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe blocking margin for 36 V nominal bus designs |
| IO (AV) | 3.0 A - Average forward current at TA = 90 °C on FR-4 PCB; defines continuous power delivery capability |
| VF @ 3.0 A | ≤ 0.45 V - Measured forward voltage at full rated current; directly determines conduction loss (≤1.35 W) |
| IFSM | 70 A - Single half-sine surge rating at 60 Hz; supports inrush and fault-current handling in SMPS outputs |
| RθJT | 35 °C/W - Junction-to-terminal thermal resistance; enables accurate thermal modeling when mounted on copper pads |
| IR @ 40 V | ≤ 2.0 mA - Reverse leakage at full rated voltage; impacts standby power in always-on systems |
| CT @ 4 V | 180 pF - Junction capacitance at 4 V reverse bias; influences high-frequency switching noise and EMI filtering design |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), surface-mount, single-diode configuration with cathode band polarity marking. Dimensions: 2.29–2.92 mm (A) × 4.00–4.60 mm (B) × 1.27–1.63 mm (C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Cathode | Current exit terminal | Connected to output rail; marked by band; ties to positive output capacitor and load |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Applications
| DC/DC Converter Output Rectification | USB Power Delivery Adapter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous or Schottky rectification in isolated flyback or forward converters delivering 5–20 V at up to 3 A. IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional current path with minimal forward loss; replaces higher-VF silicon diodes to improve efficiency. Use Value: 0.45 V VF at 3 A reduces conduction loss by ~40% vs. standard 1N5822, increasing full-load efficiency by 1.2–1.8%. | Use Scenario: 5 V/3 A output stage in compact wall-mounted USB PD adapters with tight thermal constraints. IC Role / Device Role: Primary output rectifier handling continuous 3 A load and peak surges during plug insertion.

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 40 V VRRM, 3 A IO, but VF = 0.55 V @ 3 A; RθJT ≈ 45 °C/W | Higher conduction loss; requires larger thermal pad for same current | Select if cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets and thermal space permits |
| MBR340 (ON Semiconductor) | Identical 40 V/3 A rating; VF = 0.52 V @ 3 A; SMB package only | SMB footprint incompatible with SMA layout; slightly higher VF increases loss | Choose only when SMB board revision is already committed and thermal margin exists |
Compared with SS34 and MBR340, B340LA-13-F delivers the lowest VF (≤0.45 V) and best thermal resistance (35 °C/W) in SMA, making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency 3 A rectification where layout reuse and thermal headroom are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The B340LA-13-F has a specified operating junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. Continuous operation at 150 °C is permitted when average forward current is derated per Figure 4 in the datasheet, with 3.0 A allowed only at TA ≤ 90 °C on the defined FR-4 test board.
Is B340LA-13-F suitable for use in automotive applications?
B340LA-13-F meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements when qualified per Diodes' internal qualification report (not explicitly stated on the public DS30240 Rev. 12–2 datasheet). Its 150 °C TJ rating, guard ring construction, and RoHS/green compliance support under-hood and infotainment use, though formal AEC-Q101 certification documentation must be obtained separately.
How does the SMA package compare to SMB in thermal performance?
The SMA package of B340LA-13-F has RθJT = 35 °C/W, while the SMB-packaged B340LB-13-F has identical thermal resistance per Diodes' characterization. Both packages deliver equivalent junction-to-terminal thermal performance, but SMA offers smaller footprint (2.92 × 4.60 mm vs. 3.94 × 4.57 mm), favoring space-constrained layouts.
Can this diode replace a standard PN junction rectifier like 1N5822?
Yes - B340LA-13-F is a direct functional replacement for 1N5822 (40 V, 3 A) with significantly lower VF (≤0.45 V vs. ~0.9 V), resulting in ~50% lower conduction loss. No circuit modification is needed, but layout must accommodate SMA footprint and ensure cathode band orientation matches original polarity.
