Product details
Overview
MURS360B from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0A, 600V surface-mount super-fast rectifier diode with 50ns reverse recovery time, 1.25V forward voltage at 3A, and 5μA leakage current at 600V. It serves as a boost diode in discontinuous/critical-mode PFC circuits and as a freewheeling diode in high-frequency switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MURS360B datasheet, MURS360B pinout, MURS360B application, or MURS360B equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600V VRRM, 50ns tRR, SMB package thermal resistance (RθJC = 12°C/W), and suitability for automotive-grade PFC and SMPS freewheeling roles requiring low-loss, fast-switching performance.
Technical Context
The MURS360B employs a glass-passivated silicon die optimized for super-fast recovery, enabling efficient operation in high-frequency (>100kHz) switching topologies. Its 50ns tRR minimizes switching losses during turn-off, while the 100A non-repetitive surge rating supports transient overload resilience in boost converters.
Thermally, it features RθJC = 12°C/W and RθJL = 26°C/W, allowing reliable 3.0A continuous conduction at TC = +130°C when mounted on standard PCB copper pads. The SMB package's 0.1046g mass and UL 94V-0 molding support automated SMT assembly and thermal cycling stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage without breakdown; defines usable input voltage range in PFC stages. |
| IO | 3.0 A - Average rectified output current at TC = +130°C; sets continuous power handling in freewheeling paths. |
| tRR | 50 ns - Measured under IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, IRR = 0.25A; enables >200kHz switching with low turn-off loss. |
| VF | 1.25 V @ 3A - Forward voltage drop at rated current; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in high-current paths. |
| IR | 5 μA @ 600V, 25°C - Reverse leakage current; critical for maintaining efficiency in high-voltage hold-off applications. |
| RθJC | 12 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables direct heatsinking via PCB copper or metal-core substrates. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (Surface Mount Small Outline), molded plastic case with UL 94V-0 flammability rating, matte tin-plated terminals, cathode band polarity marking, and 0.1046g weight.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to switch node (e.g., MOSFET drain) in boost topology; must withstand full load current and dI/dt stress. |
| Cathode | Current exit point during forward conduction | Connected to output rail or inductor return; carries same current as anode but referenced to higher potential in boost configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die construction | Enhances long-term reliability and moisture resistance in humid or thermally cycled environments. |
| Super-fast 50ns recovery time | Reduces reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and associated switching losses in high-frequency PFC and SMPS designs. |
| 100A peak surge rating (8.3ms) | Withstands inrush and fault currents without degradation-critical for robustness in unregulated input stages. |
| Lead-free, halogen/antimony-free "Green" compliance | Meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and automotive change-control requirements when qualified per AEC-Q101. |
Applications
| Boost Diode in Critical-Mode PFC | Freewheeling Diode in DC-DC Converters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used in the boost stage of AC-DC front-end power supplies operating in critical conduction mode (CrCM) with 50–250kHz switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Rectifies switched inductor current; conducts only during MOSFET off-time with precise 50ns turn-off timing. Use Value: Low tRR and 1.25V VF minimize total power loss, improving system efficiency by ≥0.8% over standard fast recovery diodes. | Use Scenario: Placed across the primary winding of isolated flyback or across the output inductor of buck converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss current path during MOSFET off-state; blocks reverse voltage during on-state with 600V margin. Use Value: 600V VRRM and 3A IO support 24–48V industrial DC-DC outputs with >150% overvoltage headroom. |
| Automotive On-Board Charger (OBC) PFC Stage | Industrial Motor Drive Snubber Circuit |
Use Scenario: Integrated into bidirectional OBC modules where CrCM PFC operates under wide ambient temperature (−40°C to +125°C). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability rectifier in high-voltage DC-link section; qualified per AEC-Q101 when specified. Use Value: −55°C to +175°C operating range and 12°C/W RθJC ensure stable performance under engine-bay thermal stress. | Use Scenario: Connected across IGBTs or SiC MOSFETs in variable-frequency drives to clamp inductive kickback spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast clamping diode absorbing stored energy during device turn-off; requires sub-100ns response. Use Value: 50ns tRR and 10.8mJ single-pulse avalanche energy prevent voltage overshoot beyond 600V during transients. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S | Same 600V VRRM, 3A IO, but tRR = 35ns; VF = 1.3V @ 3A; SMB package. | Lower tRR improves high-frequency efficiency but higher VF increases conduction loss at high duty cycles. | Prefer for >300kHz PFC; verify thermal margin due to higher VF. |
| ON Semiconductor MURS360 | Identical electrical specs (600V/3A/50ns/1.25V); same SMB package; RoHS-compliant but not "Green" certified. | No functional difference; differs only in halogen/antimony content and traceability documentation. | Select when "Green" compliance is not required; otherwise MURS360B preferred for automotive PPAP programs. |
Compared with STTH3L06S and MURS360, the MURS360B delivers balanced trade-offs: lower VF than STTH3L06S for better thermal management, and full "Green" certification absent in MURS360-making it optimal for automotive and eco-regulated industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The MURS360B supports continuous operation up to +175°C junction temperature, with rated 3.0A average current specified at TC = +130°C. Derating curves in the datasheet show linear reduction to zero current at +175°C case temperature, ensuring safe operation under sustained thermal stress.
Is the MURS360B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-the MURS360B meets AEC-Q101 qualification requirements when ordered with appropriate change control and PPAP documentation. Its −55°C to +175°C operating range, glass-passivated die, and "Green" compliance make it suitable for under-hood OBC and DC-DC converter applications.
How does the SMB package affect thermal performance?
The SMB package provides RθJC = 12°C/W and RθJL = 26°C/W when mounted on a 12mm × 12mm 1oz copper pad. This allows effective heat transfer to PCB copper pours or external heatsinks, supporting full 3.0A current at TC = +130°C without forced air cooling.
What is the significance of the 10.8mJ avalanche energy rating?
The 10.8mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) indicates the device can safely absorb inductive energy spikes-such as those from IGBT snubbers or transformer leakage-without failure. This rating is measured with L = 15mH and validates ruggedness in transient-heavy motor drive and industrial power systems.
