Product details
Overview
RS3J-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 600V, 3.0A 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 RS3J-13 datasheet, RS3J-13 pinout, RS3J-13 application, or RS3J-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (600 V), thermal resistance (25 K/W), junction-to-terminal cooling path, and fast recovery performance under 60 Hz half-wave resistive/inductive loads.
Technical Context
This device uses glass-passivated silicon die to achieve fast recovery (trr = 150 ns) with low forward voltage (VFM = 1.3 V @ 3.0 A) and high surge tolerance (IFSM = 100 A). Its construction supports automated SMT assembly and meets UL 94V-0 flammability requirements.
The SMB package provides defined thermal resistance (RJT = 25 K/W) when mounted on a 5.0 mm² copper pad, enabling reliable operation up to +150°C junction temperature. Reverse leakage remains ≤5.0 µA at 25°C and ≤250 µA at 125°C under rated 600 V DC blocking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating limit in bridge or single-phase rectifier inputs. |
| IO @ TT=75°C | 3.0 A - Average forward current rating with terminal temperature limited to 75°C; defines continuous DC output capability. |
| VFM @ IF=3.0A | 1.3 V - Forward voltage drop at rated current; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design in power stages. |
| trr | 150 ns - Reverse recovery time measured at IF=0.5A, IR=1.0A, Irr=0.25A; critical for EMI control and switching loss in high-frequency rectifiers. |
| RJT | 25 K/W - Junction-to-terminal thermal resistance with 5.0 mm² copper pad; determines temperature rise per watt of dissipated power. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine); enables robustness against line transients and inrush events. |
Pinout & Package
SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package: cathode marked by band on body; anode and cathode terminals only; no internal gating or control pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | AC input / positive-side connection in half-wave configuration | Accepts incoming AC phase; must withstand full reverse voltage during negative half-cycle. |
| Cathode | DC output / load-side connection | Delivers rectified unidirectional current; polarity marking ensures correct PCB orientation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated die | Enables stable reverse leakage performance across -65°C to +150°C and improves humidity resistance for industrial environments. |
| Fast recovery (150 ns) | Reduces switching losses and EMI generation compared to standard recovery rectifiers in 20–100 kHz SMPS designs. |
| UL 94V-0 plastic case | Meets flame-retardant safety requirements for enclosed power equipment without additional potting or shielding. |
| 100 A surge rating | Withstands cold-start inrush and lightning-induced line surges without degradation in telecom and motor drive front-ends. |
Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supply | LED Driver Input Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Single-phase rectification feeding bulk capacitor in 50–100 W industrial power supply with 60 Hz input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary unidirectional current switch converting AC line to pulsating DC; operates at line frequency with minimal conduction loss. Use Value: 1.3 V forward drop reduces heat generation vs. slower 1N54xx series; 25 K/W thermal resistance allows direct PCB heatsinking without clip or stud. | Use Scenario: Input rectifier in constant-current LED driver for street lighting with high ambient temperature exposure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end diode conducting during positive half-cycles; blocks reverse voltage during negative half-cycles and transient spikes. Use Value: 150 ns trr minimizes reverse recovery ringing that could interfere with PWM dimming control signals; 150°C max Tj supports outdoor enclosure operation. |
| Motor Drive Auxiliary Power | UPS Line-Conditioning Circuit |
Use Scenario: Rectifying auxiliary AC source to power gate drivers and control logic in 3-phase inverter systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolated low-power rectifier supplying isolated 12–24 V rails; not part of main inverter path. Use Value: 100 A IFSM handles transformer inrush without derating; SMB footprint saves space over axial DO-41 in compact control boards. | Use Scenario: Input-stage rectifier in online UPS where reliability under brownout and surge conditions is critical. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line protection device conducting normal line current while surviving repeated 6 kV surge events per IEC 61000-4-5. Use Value: Glass passivation prevents surface leakage degradation after repeated surge stress; UL 94V-0 housing resists flame propagation during fault conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S | Same 600 V VRRM, 3.0 A IO, but trr = 120 ns and VF = 1.25 V @ 3 A; TO-277 package (smaller footprint than SMB). | Better efficiency in high-frequency PFC stages; requires re-layout due to different pad geometry and thermal pad requirement. | Select when optimizing for lowest conduction + switching loss in >50 kHz designs and board space permits TO-277 layout. |
| ON Semi MUR360 | 600 V VRRM, 3.0 A IO, trr = 50 ns, VF = 1.7 V @ 3 A; SMB package, but higher VF increases conduction loss. | Superior trr for noise-sensitive audio PSUs; higher VF demands larger heatsink area or lower ambient limits. | Select when ultra-fast recovery dominates over thermal budget, e.g., in Class D amplifier power stages. |
Compared with RS3J-13, STTH3L06S offers faster recovery and lower VF in a smaller outline but needs revised thermal layout, while MUR360 delivers significantly shorter trr at the cost of higher conduction loss - making RS3J-13 the balanced choice for general-purpose 60 Hz–20 kHz industrial rectification.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for RS3J-13?
The RS3J-13 has a specified operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. This upper limit is achievable only when thermal resistance (RJT = 25 K/W) is maintained via proper PCB copper pad design (5.0 mm², 0.013 mm thick), and average forward current is derated per Figure 1 in the datasheet above 75°C terminal temperature.
Can RS3J-13 replace a 1N5408 in a 60 Hz power supply?
Yes - RS3J-13 matches or exceeds 1N5408's 1000 V VRRM and 3 A IO ratings, but with faster recovery (150 ns vs. ~2000 ns), lower VF (1.3 V vs. ~1.0 V at 1 A, but 1.3 V vs. ~1.5 V at 3 A), and SMB surface-mount packaging. It eliminates through-hole assembly but requires verification of PCB thermal relief and surge margin in legacy designs.
Is RS3J-13 suitable for use in a capacitive-input filter?
No - the datasheet explicitly states "For capacitive load, derate current by 20%." With a 3.0 A rating at 75°C for resistive/inductive loads, the usable average current drops to 2.4 A when feeding a bulk capacitor. Designers must verify ripple current, peak diode stress, and thermal margin using the derated value and Figure 2's forward characteristics.
Does RS3J-13 have a built-in thermal shutdown or protection circuit?
No - RS3J-13 is a passive two-terminal rectifier with no integrated protection circuitry. Overtemperature protection must be implemented externally via thermistors, NTC-based monitoring, or system-level thermal management. Its 150°C max junction rating reflects material limits, not active protection.
