Product details
Overview
RS3DB-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 400 V, 3.0 A surface-mount fast recovery rectifier in SMB package, featuring 150 ns reverse recovery time, 1.3 V forward voltage at 3.0 A, and 100 A non-repetitive surge capability - deployed in AC/DC front-end rectification for industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the RS3DB-13 datasheet, RS3DB-13 pinout, RS3DB-13 application, or RS3DB-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (400 V), average rectified current (3.0 A @ TT = 75°C), fast recovery time (150 ns), thermal resistance (25 K/W), and SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device is a single-phase, silicon planar junction fast recovery rectifier with glass-passivated die construction. It delivers low forward voltage drop (1.3 V @ 3.0 A) and high surge robustness (100 A, 8.3 ms half-sine), optimized for high-frequency switching converters where conduction loss and recovery loss trade-offs are critical.
Reverse recovery is characterized under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A per JEDEC test conditions. Junction capacitance is 50 pF at 1.0 MHz and 4.0 V reverse bias, supporting stable high-speed switching behavior in PFC and SMPS output stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating limit in 230 VAC input bridge configurations. |
| IO | 3.0 A @ TT = 75°C - Continuous DC output current rating with 5.0 mm² copper pad heatsinking; defines usable current in compact PCB layouts. |
| VFM | 1.3 V @ IF = 3.0 A - Forward voltage drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in rectifier stage. |
| trr | 150 ns - Fast recovery time minimizes reverse recovery charge (Qrr), reducing switching losses in 100–500 kHz SMPS designs. |
| RJT | 25 K/W - Junction-to-terminal thermal resistance measured on 5.0 mm² copper pad; enables accurate junction temperature estimation during thermal design. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Non-repetitive surge rating supports inrush current handling during cold-start of offline power supplies. |
Pinout & Package
SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package: cathode marked by band on body; anode and cathode terminals only; no internal gate or control pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input terminal for forward conduction path | Connected to AC input or transformer secondary; carries full load current during positive half-cycle. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L04S | Same 400 V VRRM and 3.0 A IO, but trr = 120 ns and VF = 1.25 V @ 3 A; SMB package. | Marginally faster recovery suits higher-frequency PFC stages (>200 kHz); lower VF reduces conduction loss. | Select when optimizing for minimal Qrr in interleaved boost converters. |
| ON Semiconductor MUR340 | 400 V VRRM, 3.0 A IO, trr = 50 ns, VF = 1.3 V @ 3 A; DO-214AC (SMC) package. | 50 ns trr enables use in resonant LLC secondaries; larger SMC package offers +0.11 g mass and +1.2 K/W thermal resistance. | Choose for ultra-fast recovery needs where board space permits SMC footprint. |
Compared with RS3DB-13, STTH3L04S offers slightly better efficiency at high frequency, while MUR340 provides significantly faster recovery at the cost of larger footprint and reduced thermal performance - selection depends on priority between size, speed, and thermal budget.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for RS3DB-13?
The RS3DB-13 has an operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. Its thermal design must ensure TJ does not exceed +150°C under worst-case conduction and surge conditions, using the specified 25 K/W junction-to-terminal resistance and 5.0 mm² copper pad heatsink.
Can RS3DB-13 replace a standard PN junction rectifier in existing designs?
Yes - RS3DB-13 can directly replace standard recovery rectifiers like 1N5408 in SMB-compatible footprints, provided the 400 V VRRM and 3.0 A IO meet system requirements. Its 150 ns trr reduces switching loss, but layout parasitics must be reviewed to avoid ringing due to faster edge rates.
Is RS3DB-13 suitable for use in capacitive-input filter circuits?
No - the datasheet explicitly states that current must be derated by 20% for capacitive loads. In such configurations, peak current stress increases significantly; use with choke-input or active PFC front-ends is preferred to maintain reliability and thermal margin.
Does RS3DB-13 have a qualified AEC-Q101 rating for automotive use?
No - RS3DB-13 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. It is rated for industrial and commercial applications only, with operating temperature up to +150°C but without automotive-grade qualification testing for humidity, vibration, or ESD robustness per AEC standards.
