Product details
Overview
RS3G-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 RS3G-13 datasheet, RS3G-13 pinout, RS3G-13 application, or RS3G-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (400 V), average rectified current (3.0 A @ TT = 75°C), thermal resistance (25 K/W), recovery time (150 ns), and SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device is a single-phase, glass-passivated silicon junction rectifier optimized for high-efficiency switching power conversion. Its fast recovery (trr = 150 ns) minimizes switching losses in 50–100 kHz SMPS topologies, while low forward voltage (VFM = 1.3 V @ 3.0 A) reduces conduction loss under continuous load.
The SMB package provides validated thermal performance (RJT = 25 K/W with 5.0 mm² copper pad) and meets UL 94V-0 flammability requirements. Polarity is marked by cathode band; terminals are solder-plated per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum peak repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe blocking capability in bridge or half-wave rectifier stage. |
| IO | 3.0 A @ TT = 75°C - Continuous DC output current rating; requires thermal management via PCB copper area. |
| VFM | 1.3 V @ IF = 3.0 A - Forward conduction loss at rated current; directly impacts efficiency and thermal rise in power stage. |
| trr | 150 ns - Measured under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables use in medium-frequency SMPS without excessive EMI or loss. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Non-repetitive surge rating (8.3 ms half-sine); supports inrush current handling during AC line startup. |
| RJT | 25 K/W - Junction-to-terminal thermal resistance with 5.0 mm² copper pad; used to calculate junction temperature rise under load. |
Pinout & Package
SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package: molded plastic case with solder-plated terminals; cathode identified by band marking; weight ≈ 0.09 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | AC input node | Accepts incoming alternating waveform; connects to transformer secondary or bridge input leg. |
| Cathode | DC output node | Delivers rectified unidirectional current to bulk capacitor or downstream regulator; marked by band. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast recovery time | 150 ns - Reduces reverse recovery charge (Qrr), lowering switching loss and EMI in 50–100 kHz converters. |
| Glass passivated die | Enhanced moisture and contamination resistance - improves long-term reliability in humid or industrial environments. |
| Low forward voltage | 1.3 V @ 3.0 A - Minimizes I²R conduction loss and thermal stress compared to standard recovery rectifiers. |
| UL 94V-0 plastic case | Self-extinguishing housing - satisfies safety compliance for enclosed power supply designs. |
Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supplies | LED Driver Input Rectification |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MUR340 | Same SMB package, identical 400 V VRRM and 3.0 A IO, but trr = 50 ns (faster), VFM = 1.25 V. | Better suited for >200 kHz PFC or resonant converters where lower Qrr is critical. | Select when faster recovery and marginally lower conduction loss justify cost premium. |
| Vishay VS-3EJH04-M3 | SMB package, 400 V VRRM, 3.0 A IO, trr = 200 ns, VFM = 1.35 V, higher IRM (50 µA @ 125°C). | Higher leakage tolerance acceptable in high-temperature battery backup circuits. | Prefer where elevated IRM stability at 125°C is prioritized over minimal trr variation. |
Compared with RS3G-13, MUR340 offers superior speed for high-frequency designs, while VS-3EJH04-M3 trades slight speed reduction for enhanced high-temperature leakage performance - both retain SMB footprint and core voltage/current ratings.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for RS3G-13?
The RS3G-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 conditions, using the specified 25 K/W junction-to-terminal resistance and appropriate PCB copper area (5.0 mm² minimum) for heat dissipation.
Can RS3G-13 be used in full-wave bridge configurations?
Yes - RS3G-13 is a single die rectifier intended for use in discrete full-wave bridge assemblies. Four units can form a standard bridge rectifier; its 400 V VRRM rating supports up to 280 VAC RMS input (400 V / √2), making it suitable for universal-input (85–265 VAC) designs.
How does the 150 ns recovery time impact EMI in switch-mode designs?
The 150 ns trr limits reverse recovery charge (Qrr), reducing high-frequency ringing and conducted EMI during turn-off. In 50–100 kHz flyback or forward converters, this value avoids excessive voltage overshoot across MOSFETs and simplifies snubber design versus standard recovery diodes with trr > 500 ns.
Is RS3G-13 compliant with lead-free and RoHS requirements?
Yes - RS3G-13 is manufactured with lead-free terminations and complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS-709C. The solder plating meets Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C), and the device carries the "Pb-Free" marking per Diodes Incorporated's packaging standards.
