Product details
Overview
HS3KB-K from Taiwan Semiconductor is a high-efficiency surface-mount silicon rectifier diode rated for 800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 3 A average forward current (IF), and 80 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM), designed for freewheeling and switching-mode power conversion in industrial DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the HS3KB-K datasheet, HS3KB-K pinout, HS3KB-K application, or HS3KB-K equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-214AA (SMB) package thermal performance (RθJL = 20 °C/W), low 1.34 V forward voltage at 3 A/25°C, and 75 ns reverse recovery time-critical for high-frequency SMPS efficiency and thermal management.
Technical Context
The HS3KB-K is a single-die, glass-passivated, planar junction silicon rectifier optimized for fast recovery and low leakage in medium-voltage switching applications. Its 800 V VRRM, 75 ns trr, and 21 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz/4 V support operation up to several hundred kHz in flyback and forward converters.
Thermal design is enabled by its DO-214AA (SMB) package with RθJA = 78 °C/W on a 10 mm × 10 mm Cu pad, RθJC = 26 °C/W, and RθJL = 20 °C/W-making it suitable for compact, convection-cooled power stages where lead-to-board heat transfer dominates.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - supports input rectification in 400–600 V DC bus systems with 25% safety margin |
| IF | 3 A continuous - delivers stable output in 30–60 W SMPS designs without forced cooling |
| IFSM (8.3 ms) | 80 A - withstands inrush and transient overloads in offline switchers with minimal derating |
| VF @ 3 A, 25°C | 1.34 V typical - reduces conduction loss to ~4.0 W per device at full load |
| trr | 75 ns - limits switching loss and EMI in 100–500 kHz topologies |
| CJ @ 1 MHz, 4 V | 21 pF - minimizes capacitive coupling and dv/dt-induced turn-on in high-side configurations |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - enables direct thermal path from junction to PCB copper via leads, critical for thermal reliability |
| IR @ 800 V, 125°C | 200 µA max - ensures low standby power loss in energy-sensitive applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S | 600 V VRRM, 3 A IF, 50 ns trr, TO-277 package | Limited to ≤600 V systems; faster recovery but lower voltage rating | Select when 600 V rating suffices and sub-50 ns trr is prioritized over voltage margin |
| ES3J | 600 V VRRM, 3 A IF, 35 ns trr, DO-214AB (SMC) package | Lower voltage rating and larger SMC footprint; faster recovery but higher CJ (45 pF) | Prefer for ultra-fast recovery needs in ≤600 V designs where board space allows SMC |
Compared with STTH3L06S and ES3J, the HS3KB-K provides superior 800 V voltage headroom and SMB footprint compatibility while maintaining competitive 75 ns recovery-making it optimal for 400–600 V DC bus systems requiring robustness and layout scalability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HS3KB-K?
The HS3KB-K has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, with operational range from –55°C to +150°C. This rating enables reliable use in enclosed industrial enclosures and high-ambient environments when mounted on a 10 mm × 10 mm copper pad, leveraging its RθJA = 78 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W thermal metrics. Derating curves in the datasheet confirm 3 A IF capability down to 100°C ambient.
Does HS3KB-K support automated pick-and-place assembly?
Yes, HS3KB-K supports automated placement per J-STD-002 solderability standards, with matte tin-plated leads and DO-214AA (SMB) package geometry optimized for high-yield SMT processes. Its moisture sensitivity level is J-STD-020 Level 1, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/85% RH without baking prior to reflow-reducing line stoppages and handling overhead in volume production.
What is the forward voltage of HS3KB-K at 3 A and 125°C?
The forward voltage of HS3KB-K is 1.11 V typical and 1.47 V maximum at 3 A and 125°C. This elevated VF reflects reduced semiconductor resistivity at high temperature but remains within design margins for 800 V-class rectifiers. The 1.11 V typical value directly informs thermal modeling, enabling accurate calculation of conduction loss (Pcond ≈ IF × VF) under worst-case operating conditions.
Is HS3KB-K halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, HS3KB-K is fully RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants (BFRs), chlorinated flame retardants (CFRs), or antimony trioxide, and all plating and substrate materials meet strict environmental compliance requirements-ensuring suitability for green electronics manufacturing and export to regulated markets.
How does the reverse recovery time of HS3KB-K compare to HS3JB-K and HS3MB-K?
The HS3KB-K shares identical reverse recovery time (trr) of 75 ns with HS3JB-K and HS3MB-K, as confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table. All three variants (600 V, 800 V, and 1000 V) use the same die process and junction structure optimized for fast recovery, distinguishing them from the slower HS3DB-K (200 V) and HS3GB-K (400 V) variants, which specify 50 ns trr due to different doping profiles.
