Diodes Incorporated RS3GB-13

Overview

RS3GB-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a standard rectifier with 3 A, 400 V, SMC / high-current SMD rectifier package. It provides one-way current flow and reverse blocking for supply, protection, and repair circuits that need a stable rectifier family.

RS3GB-13 is most relevant to AC-to-DC rectifiers, bridge rectifier assemblies, reverse-polarity protection, industrial control board repair, where the surrounding circuit depends on the same rating profile, footprint, thermal behavior, and sourcing continuity.

Technical Context

RS3GB-13 is a rectifier or blocking diode intended to conduct in one direction and withstand reverse voltage in the opposite direction. Its strongest fit is power conversion, polarity protection, and freewheel use.

The actual usable current is determined by waveform shape, copper or leaded thermal path, ambient temperature, surge events, and whether the circuit needs standard or fast recovery.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

RS3GB-13 uses SMC / high-current SMD rectifier package. Pin mapping, polarity, or item format should be matched to the exact board, fixture, or procurement requirement before replacement.

Key Features

• RS3GB-13 is identified as a standard rectifier.
• 400 V voltage or operating class for the relevant circuit stress.
• 3 A current or output class, subject to package and thermal derating.
• SMC / high-current SMD rectifier package package or item format for procurement and assembly review.
• general rectification
• reverse blocking
• surge-current handling
• through-hole or SMD repair use

Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives

When evaluating RS3GB-13 equivalent devices, compare voltage rating or operating class, current or output capability, package and footprint, pin mapping or polarity, thermal behavior, qualification suffix, lifecycle and sourcing status. A similar family name is not enough when the board depends on timing, leakage, firmware, optical output, or protection behavior.

Quality

RS3GB-13 should be sourced as original Diodes Incorporated material through traceable and controlled supply channels. Quality verification may include package inspection, marking verification, polarity or pinout review, solderability testing, leakage or continuity checks, and reel label verification, along with incoming inspection suited to standard rectifier production, repair, or lifecycle procurement.

Availability

RS3GB-13 is available at Aetrix Electronics and suitable for AC-to-DC rectifiers, bridge rectifier assemblies, reverse-polarity protection, industrial control board repair requiring 3 A, 400 V, SMC / high-current SMD rectifier package in a controlled BOM or repair program.

Supply support may include scheduled delivery planning, volume procurement support, BOM continuity assistance, traceable sourcing management, and lifecycle availability coordination for manufacturers, repair teams, contract manufacturers, and engineering buyers managing standard rectifier demand.

For production deployment, confirming package fit, pin mapping or polarity, electrical rating, temperature margin, lifecycle status, approved manufacturer identity, and sourcing continuity helps reduce qualification risk for RS3GB-13.

Manufacturer

Diodes Incorporated supplies rectifiers, Schottky diodes, SBR devices, protection products, transistors, MOSFETs, analog ICs, logic devices, and power-management semiconductors. RS3GB-13 belongs to the Diodes Incorporated product family identified by its prefix and package suffix.

FAQ

What is RS3GB-13 used for?

RS3GB-13 is used for AC-to-DC rectifiers, bridge rectifier assemblies, reverse-polarity protection. In those circuits, RS3GB-13 provides the standard rectifier function with 3 A, 400 V, SMC / high-current SMD rectifier package. The final selection should match the schematic role, operating stress, package footprint, and sourcing requirements.

What package or format does RS3GB-13 use?

RS3GB-13 uses SMC / high-current SMD rectifier package. This package or item format affects footprint, soldering, thermal behavior, polarity or pin mapping, and incoming inspection. When replacing RS3GB-13, the package code should be checked as carefully as the headline electrical rating.

What are the key design checks for RS3GB-13?

Key design checks for RS3GB-13 include voltage margin, current or output load, temperature rise, pinout or polarity, package fit, lifecycle status. These checks help prevent a visually similar part from changing circuit behavior or assembly reliability.

Can RS3GB-13 be replaced by a similar part?

RS3GB-13 can be compared with similar family members only after electrical limits, package, orientation, qualification suffix, timing or leakage behavior, and approved-source rules are reviewed. A similar name alone is not enough because RS3GB-13 may carry package, program, bin, or lifecycle details.

Why source RS3GB-13 through Aetrix Electronics?

Sourcing RS3GB-13 through Aetrix Electronics supports traceable procurement, scheduled delivery planning, BOM continuity assistance, and lifecycle availability coordination. This is useful when RS3GB-13 is needed for production builds, repair lots, controlled alternates, or long-running equipment support.
