Product details
Overview
HS3DB-K from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 200V high-efficiency surface-mount silicon rectifier diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring 0.90V max forward voltage at 3.0A/25°C, 80A surge current capability, and 5µA max reverse leakage at 25°C. It serves as a primary output rectifier in DC-DC converters and switching-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the HS3DB-K datasheet, HS3DB-K pinout, HS3DB-K application, or HS3DB-K equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200V repetitive peak reverse voltage, low thermal resistance (RθJL = 20°C/W), glass-passivated junction for reliability, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial and consumer power designs.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, unidirectional silicon PN junction rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications. Its 50ns reverse recovery time and 56pF junction capacitance at 1MHz/4V support efficient operation in SMPS topologies up to several hundred kHz.
The DO-214AA (SMB) package enables automated placement and provides robust thermal performance: RθJA = 78°C/W on 10mm × 10mm Cu pad, with rated junction temperature spanning −55°C to +150°C and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating range in flyback or forward converter secondary side |
| IF | 3 A - Continuous average forward current; supports 36W output at 12V with typical derating above 75°C ambient |
| IFSM | 80 A - Non-repetitive surge current (8.3ms half-sine); withstands inrush and transient overloads in AC-DC front-ends |
| VF @ 3A/25°C | 0.90 V max - Low conduction loss reduces heat generation and improves efficiency in high-current paths |
| trr | 50 ns max - Fast recovery minimizes switching losses and EMI in high-frequency converters |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - Low junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables direct PCB copper pad heat sinking without heatsink |
| IR @ 25°C | 5 µA max - Low leakage preserves efficiency in standby mode and high-impedance bias networks |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package with cathode-indicating band; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 1 whisker resistance.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L02 | 3A/200V, 50ns trr, but VF = 1.05V max @3A/25°C; TO-220AC package | Requires through-hole mounting and heatsinking; higher conduction loss increases thermal load | Prefer HS3DB-K for SMT space-constrained or high-volume automated assembly |
| SB320-E3/54 | 3A/200V, VF = 0.95V max @3A/25°C, 70ns trr; DO-214AA package | Slower recovery increases switching loss in >100kHz designs; higher IR at 125°C (50µA vs. 200µA for HS3DB-K) | Acceptable for <50kHz applications where cost is prioritized over efficiency |
Compared with STTH3L02 and SB320-E3/54, the HS3DB-K delivers superior thermal performance (RθJL = 20°C/W), lower forward voltage, and identical DO-214AA footprint-making it optimal for high-density, high-efficiency SMT power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the HS3DB-K?
The HS3DB-K has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C and a minimum of −55°C. This wide operating range supports deployment in industrial environments with elevated ambient temperatures. Derating curves in the datasheet show usable forward current drops to ~1.8A at 100°C ambient on standard PCB layout. Thermal design must account for RθJA = 78°C/W and RθJL = 20°C/W to ensure HS3DB-K remains within limits under full load.
Does the HS3DB-K have a specified reverse recovery time, and how is it measured?
Yes, the HS3DB-K has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 50 ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, and IRR = 0.25A using a half-sine waveform. This value is confirmed across production lots and applies specifically to the HS3DB-K variant-not extrapolated from higher-voltage family members. The fast trr directly contributes to reduced switching losses in high-frequency SMPS designs.
Is the HS3DB-K compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the HS3DB-K is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, and the device is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C per JEDEC J-STD-020. Moisture sensitivity level 1 means no pre-bake is required, simplifying manufacturing flow. The UL 94V-0 epoxy body also withstands multiple reflow cycles without delamination.
What does the "-K" suffix indicate in HS3DB-K?
The "-K" suffix in HS3DB-K denotes tape-and-reel packaging: 3,000 units per reel in DO-214AA (SMB) configuration. It does not indicate a performance variant or temperature grade. All electrical and thermal specifications for HS3DB-K remain identical to those published for the base part; the suffix solely reflects packaging format for automated assembly.
How does the forward voltage of HS3DB-K vary with temperature?
The HS3DB-K exhibits negative temperature coefficient for forward voltage: VF decreases as junction temperature rises. At 3.0A, VF is 0.90V max at 25°C but drops to 0.75V max at 125°C. This behavior improves thermal stability in parallel configurations and reduces conduction loss at elevated operating temperatures-unlike many Schottky diodes, this is a characteristic of its silicon PN junction construction.
