Product details
Overview
PU3BAH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 100V, 3A ultra-fast surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring 23 ns reverse recovery time, 0.86 V forward voltage at 3A/25°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability. It serves as a primary output rectifier in high-frequency DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the PU3BAH datasheet, PU3BAH pinout, PU3BAH application, or PU3BAH equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (100 V), surge current capability (85 A), junction-to-lead thermal resistance (19 °C/W), and ultra-fast switching performance for snubber and SMPS designs.
Technical Context
This discrete silicon planar rectifier uses single-die construction with low-leakage, low-VF characteristics optimized for high-efficiency switching power supplies. Its 23 ns trr and 51 nC Qrr enable minimal switching loss in 100–500 kHz topologies.
The device operates across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature range and delivers stable IR ≤ 2 µA at 25°C and ≤ 10 µA at 125°C under rated reverse voltage, supporting robust thermal management on standard PCB copper pads.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S | 600 V VRRM, 3 A IF, 35 ns trr, TO-277 package | Higher voltage rating suits PFC front-end; slower recovery increases switching loss at 250+ kHz | Select when >100 V reverse stress or higher surge immunity required; not drop-in due to different package and pinout |
| MBR3100 | 100 V VRRM, 3 A IF, Schottky structure, 0.65 V VF, no reverse recovery | No trr or Qrr; limited to ≤125°C TJ; unsuitable for 175°C ambient environments | Prefer where lowest conduction loss dominates and junction temperature remains <125°C; requires thermal redesign |
Compared with STTH3L06S and MBR3100, PU3BAH uniquely balances 100 V rating, 23 ns trr, AEC-Q101 qualification, and 175°C operation-making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally aggressive automotive and industrial DC/DC rectification where both speed and ruggedness are critical.

Manufacturer
Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation (TSC) is a vertically integrated analog and discrete semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in Hsinchu, Taiwan, serving automotive, industrial, and consumer markets since 1979.
The PU3BAH belongs to TSC's AEC-Q101-qualified ultra-fast rectifier product line, engineered specifically for high-efficiency, high-reliability switching power supplies in thermally demanding environments.
FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for PU3BAH?
The PU3BAH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) of +175°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official TSC datasheet revision B2109. This rating enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings. Thermal design must maintain junction temperature below this limit using appropriate PCB copper area and airflow. The PU3BAH's RθJL of 19 °C/W supports effective heat transfer to the board.
Is PU3BAH pin-compatible with other DO-214AC rectifiers like MUR320 or BYV26E?
PU3BAH shares the DO-214AC (SMA) package outline and anode/cathode terminal configuration with MUR320 and BYV26E, but it is not guaranteed pin-to-pin compatible due to differences in internal die construction, thermal pad layout, and marking orientation. While mechanical fit is identical, electrical behavior-including trr, Qrr, and VF-differs significantly. System-level validation is required before substitution. PU3BAH's 23 ns trr and AEC-Q101 qualification distinguish it from non-automotive alternatives.
What does the marking code 'PU3BA' on the PU3BAH device indicate?
The marking code 'PU3BA' laser-etched on the PU3BAH case identifies the specific voltage grade (100 V VRRM) and family within the PU3xAH series. 'PU3' denotes ultra-fast rectifier series, 'B' specifies 100 V rating (vs. 'D' for 200 V in PU3DAH), and 'A' indicates revision or process variant. This matches the ordering code PU3BAH and confirms correct binning per TSC's B2109 datasheet specification.
Does PU3BAH meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, PU3BAH is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as confirmed in the official TSC product brief and datasheet revision B2109. The molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and terminals are matte tin plated per J-STD-002. These compliance attributes support use in environmentally regulated automotive and industrial end equipment without restriction.
How is the reverse recovery time (trr) of PU3BAH measured and what conditions apply?
PU3BAH's reverse recovery time is specified as 23 ns under conditions of IF = 3.0 A, di/dt = 200 A/µs, and VR = 100 V, per the Electrical Specifications table in TSC's B2109 datasheet. This measurement reflects real-world hard-switching behavior in high-frequency converters. An alternate trr value of 31 ns is given for IF = 1.0 A, di/dt = 50 A/µs, VR = 30 V-highlighting dependency on test conditions. Designers should reference the exact condition matching their circuit's operating point.
