Product details
Overview
B340Q-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 40 V, 3.0 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in SMC package, featuring 0.5 V forward voltage at 3.0 A and 0.5 mA reverse leakage at rated voltage, designed for automotive polarity protection and freewheeling applications.
For engineers reviewing the B340Q-13-F datasheet, B340Q-13-F pinout, B340Q-13-F application, or B340Q-13-F equivalent, this part supports low-voltage, high-frequency DC/DC conversion, reverse-polarity protection in 12 V/24 V vehicle systems, and energy recirculation in inductive load switching circuits.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses guard ring die construction to suppress transient-induced failure and enable robust operation under automotive load dump conditions. Its low 0.5 V VF at 3.0 A and 20 °C/W junction-to-terminal thermal resistance support high-efficiency power conversion with minimal conduction loss.
Rated for continuous operation from –55 °C to +150 °C and qualified to AEC-Q101, it meets IATF 16949 manufacturing requirements and supports PPAP documentation. The SMC package provides mechanical stability and thermal performance suitable for automated reflow assembly in automotive ECUs and body control modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - blocks up to 40 V reverse voltage without breakdown, sufficient for 24 V automotive systems with transients |
| IO (AV) | 3.0 A - average forward current rating enabling continuous use in 3 A DC power paths |
| VF max | 0.50 V @ 3.0 A - low conduction loss reduces heat generation and improves system efficiency |
| IR max | 0.5 mA @ 40 V, 25 °C - low leakage preserves battery life in always-on vehicle modules |
| RθJT | 20 °C/W - enables effective heat transfer from junction to PCB pad, supporting compact layout |
| IFSM | 100 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands short-duration surge currents during motor startup or relay switching |
| TJ range | –55 °C to +150 °C - operates reliably across full automotive ambient temperature envelope |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB340-E3/52T (Vishay) | Same 40 V VRRM, 3.0 A IO, but VF = 0.55 V @ 3 A; RθJA = 95 °C/W vs. Diodes' 90 °C/W | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; intended for commercial/industrial use only | Select when automotive qualification is not required and cost is primary driver |
| SS34 (ON Semiconductor) | 40 V VRRM, 3.0 A IO, VF = 0.52 V @ 3 A; IR = 0.5 mA @ 25 °C but 20 mA @ 100 °C (vs. B340Q's 0.5 mA @ 100 °C per Note 7) | Lacks AEC-Q101 certification and IATF 16949 traceability; no PPAP support | Choose for non-automotive consumer power supplies where extended high-temp leakage is acceptable |
Compared with SB340-E3/52T and SS34, B340Q-13-F delivers tighter high-temperature leakage control, automotive-grade process traceability, and lower forward voltage-making it the only option qualified for safety-critical 12 V/24 V vehicle subsystems requiring PPAP documentation.

FAQ
Is B340Q-13-F suitable for 24 V truck applications?
Yes. With 40 V VRRM, AEC-Q101 qualification, and –55 °C to +150 °C operating range, B340Q-13-F supports 24 V nominal systems exposed to ISO 16750-2 load dump transients up to 35 V. Its 100 A IFSM rating handles cranking surges, and low VF ensures minimal voltage drop under full 3 A load.
What is the cathode marking method on B340Q-13-F?
The cathode is marked by a distinct band on the body of the SMC package. Per datasheet Figure 1, this band is located adjacent to the cathode terminal; some units may also include a cathode notch on the edge of the molded case, visible in top-view inspection.
Does B340Q-13-F require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes. Per Figure 6, average forward current must be linearly derated above 75 °C terminal temperature. At 125 °C, IO drops to ~1.8 A. Derating is based on RθJA = 90 °C/W and assumes standard 2 mm × 3 mm copper pad on FR-4; larger pads improve thermal margin.
Can B340Q-13-F replace B340A-13-F in existing designs?
No. B340A-13-F is an obsolete, non-automotive variant with different qualification status, thermal specs, and packaging. B340Q-13-F has stricter AEC-Q101 testing, tighter IR spec at 100 °C (0.5 mA vs. unspecified for B340A), and IATF 16949 manufacturing controls-requiring validation before substitution.
