Product details
Overview
B345AF-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3A, 45V Schottky barrier rectifier in SMAF package, featuring 0.50 V max forward voltage at 3A/25°C, 0.30 mA max reverse leakage at 45V/25°C, and 80A non-repetitive surge rating - deployed as a recirculating diode in DC-DC converter output stages.
For engineers reviewing the B345AF-13 datasheet, B345AF-13 pinout, B345AF-13 application, or B345AF-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include low VF for efficiency-critical 12V–48V industrial power rails, high-temperature IR stability up to +150°C, and RoHS-compliant matte tin terminations on copper leadframe.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses a planar metal-semiconductor junction optimized for low conduction loss and minimal stored charge, enabling fast switching with negligible reverse recovery time. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 35°C/W on 2"×2" Al board) supports sustained 3A operation at ambient temperatures up to +90°C without forced cooling.
The device exhibits stable reverse leakage across temperature: 0.30 mA at 45V/25°C rising to 18.0 mA at 45V/125°C - a critical parameter for hold-up and blocking integrity in high-temperature power supplies and automotive under-hood applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 45 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe blocking range in 36V nominal systems. |
| IO(AV) | 3 A - Continuous average forward current; supports 36W dissipation at 12V input with typical VF. |
| VF(MAX) | 0.50 V @ 3A, 25°C - Low conduction loss enables >95% efficiency in buck converter freewheel paths. |
| IR(MAX) | 0.30 mA @ 45V, 25°C - Low leakage preserves energy in standby mode and prevents thermal runaway at elevated temperatures. |
| IFSM | 80 A - Withstands single half-sine surge; protects against inrush during hot-plug or load dump events. |
| RθJA | 35 °C/W - Thermal performance on standard 2"×2" aluminum PCB enables passive-cooled 3A operation up to +90°C ambient. |
| Junction Cap. | 120 pF @ 4V, 1MHz - Low capacitance minimizes switching noise and EMI in high-frequency SMPS designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMAF (Surface-Mount Axial Flat), 2-pin molded plastic package with cathode band marking; UL 94V-0 rated, 0.036 g weight, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck converter); accepts 3A continuous forward flow. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail; blocks 45V reverse bias while maintaining <0.30 mA leakage at room temperature. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VF design | 0.43 V typ. @ 3A/125°C - reduces conduction loss by ~30% vs. standard silicon rectifiers, lowering thermal stress in compact layouts. |
| High-temp IR stability | 18.0 mA max @ 45V/125°C - maintains blocking integrity in automotive engine-control modules and industrial motor drives. |
| RoHS & Green compliant | Lead-free matte tin over copper; <900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - meets IEC 61249-2-21 and J-STD-609 Class 1 requirements. |
| SMAF mechanical robustness | 0.90–1.10 mm height, 3.95–4.60 mm width - enables high-density placement and automated optical inspection (AOI) compatibility. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Freewheel Path | Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used in synchronous buck converter output stage to conduct inductor current during high-side FET off-time. IC Role / Device Role: Freewheeling Schottky rectifier replacing body diode of low-side MOSFET. Use Value: 0.50 V VF limits power loss to ≤1.5 W at 3A, reducing heatsink requirement and improving transient response. | Use Scenario: Blocking diode in 12V battery backup path for microcontroller power domain. IC Role / Device Role: Reverse-polarity and load-dump protection element in ECU power management. Use Value: 45V VRRM withstands ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a (−150V clamp), while 0.30 mA IR ensures <1 µW standby drain. |
| Industrial PLC Power Input Stage | LED Driver Recirculation Loop |
Use Scenario: Boost diode in wide-input (9–36V) isolated flyback front-end supplying 24V control bus. IC Role / Device Role: High-efficiency output rectifier handling 3A peak current at 100 kHz switching. Use Value: 120 pF junction capacitance suppresses ringing and EMI, easing EN 55032 Class B compliance. | Use Scenario: Recirculation path for inductive current decay in constant-current LED driver with PWM dimming. IC Role / Device Role: Fast-decay path enabling <100 ns current turn-off and precise dimming linearity. Use Value: Near-zero reverse recovery eliminates tail current, preventing LED current overshoot and color shift. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS34H-TP (Micro Commercial) | 40V VRRM, 0.55V VF max @ 3A, 0.5mA IR @ 40V/25°C | Lower voltage rating; higher VF and IR reduce efficiency in 36V systems | Acceptable for cost-sensitive 12V-only applications where 45V margin is not required. |
| SB340-E3/52T (Vishay) | 40V VRRM, 0.55V VF max @ 3A, 0.5mA IR @ 40V/25°C, DO-214AA package | Larger DO-214AA footprint; 50% higher RθJA (~50°C/W) limits power density | Preferred only when legacy DO-214AA layout reuse is mandatory and thermal headroom exists. |
Compared with SS34H-TP and SB340-E3/52T, B345AF-13 delivers superior 45V blocking margin, lower conduction loss, and tighter thermal resistance - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency 24–48V industrial and automotive power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for B345AF-13?
The B345AF-13 has an operating junction temperature range of −55°C to +150°C. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 35°C/W on 2″×2″ Al board) allows continuous 3A operation up to +90°C ambient without derating, provided PCB copper area meets datasheet layout guidelines.
Is B345AF-13 qualified for automotive applications?
B345AF-13 is not AEC-Q101 qualified per its datasheet. While it operates reliably from −55°C to +150°C and meets RoHS/Green standards, automotive use requires explicit AEC-Q101 certification - Diodes offers AEC-Q101 variants (e.g., B345AFQ-13) for such applications.
How does the SMAF package compare to SMA in size and thermal performance?
The SMAF package is 30% lower in height (max 1.10 mm vs. SMA's 2.20 mm) and features a flatter profile for improved board-level reliability. Its RθJA is 35°C/W (on 2″×2″ Al), matching SMA-class thermal performance despite reduced volume, due to optimized leadframe thermal path.
Can B345AF-13 replace B340AF-13 in existing designs?
Yes - B345AF-13 is a direct drop-in replacement for B340AF-13 with identical SMAF package, pinout, and thermal characteristics. The only difference is 45V vs. 40V VRRM, offering increased reverse voltage margin without circuit modification or layout change.
