Product details
Overview
PU3BBH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 100V, 3A ultra-fast surface-mount rectifier diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring 25 ns reverse recovery time, 0.86 V forward voltage at 3.0A/25°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability. It serves as a high-efficiency freewheeling or snubber diode in DC/DC converters operating at high switching frequencies.
For engineers reviewing the PU3BBH datasheet, PU3BBH pinout, PU3BBH application, or PU3BBH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100V VRRM, 85A IFSM, 175°C TJMAX, low RθJA of 71°C/W, and AEC-Q101 qualification - all critical for thermal management and automotive power supply design.
Technical Context
The PU3BBH employs planar junction technology to achieve ultra-fast recovery with trr ≤25 ns under IF = 0.5A / IR = 1.0A / Irr = 0.25A conditions, enabling efficient operation in 100–500 kHz DC/DC topologies. Its single-die configuration and DO-214AA package support automated placement and meet JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Thermal performance is defined for mounting on a 10 mm × 10 mm copper pad: RθJL = 14°C/W and RθJC = 20°C/W confirm robust heat transfer from junction to lead and case. Reverse leakage remains ≤2 µA at 25°C and ≤10 µA at 125°C, supporting stable operation across automotive temperature ranges.

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 (STMicroelectronics) | 600V VRRM, 3A IF, 35 ns trr, TO-277 package | Higher voltage rating but slower recovery; suited for 400V PFC stages, not optimal for 100V high-frequency DC/DC | Select PU3BBH when 100V blocking and <30 ns trr are required in SMB footprint |
| ES3D (ON Semiconductor) | 200V VRRM, 3A IF, 35 ns trr, DO-214AA package | Same package but higher VRRM and slower recovery; higher VF (0.92 V @ 3A) increases conduction loss | PU3BBH offers lower VF and faster trr for efficiency-critical 100V designs |
Compared with STTH3L06S and ES3D, the PU3BBH delivers superior high-frequency efficiency in 100V applications due to its 25 ns trr and 0.86 V VF, while maintaining AEC-Q101 qualification and SMB package compatibility - making it optimal for automotive and industrial DC/DC where thermal and switching performance are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating for PU3BBH?
The PU3BBH has a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 100 V, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This defines the maximum reverse voltage the device can block repeatedly without breakdown. Exceeding this value risks avalanche failure or permanent degradation of the PN junction in the PU3BBH.
Is PU3BBH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the PU3BBH is AEC-Q101 qualified, confirming its suitability for automotive power electronics. This qualification includes stress testing for high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling. The PU3BBH's 175°C TJMAX and robust thermal resistance further support under-hood deployment.
What is the reverse recovery time of PU3BBH and how is it measured?
The PU3BBH reverse recovery time (trr) is specified as ≤25 ns under test conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This value is measured using standardized double-pulse test methodology and reflects the diode's ability to transition from conduction to blocking state - a critical parameter for minimizing switching loss in high-frequency PU3BBH-based converters.
Does PU3BBH have a halogen-free and RoHS-compliant construction?
Yes, the PU3BBH uses halogen-free molding compound per IEC 61249-2-21 and is fully RoHS compliant. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, and the entire assembly passes JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing. These material attributes ensure environmental compliance and long-term reliability in PU3BBH-powered end equipment.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for PU3BBH?
The PU3BBH has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 71°C/W when mounted on a standard 10 mm × 10 mm copper pad PCB, as defined in the thermal performance section of the datasheet. This value directly determines the maximum allowable power dissipation before exceeding the 175°C junction limit - a key constraint in thermal design of PU3BBH-based power stages.
