Product details
Overview
RS3J-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 600 V, 3.0 A surface-mount fast recovery rectifier in SMB (DO-214AA) 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 stages of industrial power supplies and LED drivers.
For engineers reviewing the RS3J-13-F datasheet, RS3J-13-F pinout, RS3J-13-F application, or RS3J-13-F 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 load conditions.
Technical Context
This device implements a glass-passivated silicon PN junction optimized for fast switching in line-frequency rectification. Its 150 ns recovery time (measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A) enables reduced switching losses in flyback and boost PFC stages.
Rated for 3.0 A average output current at terminal temperature TT = 75 °C, it supports derated operation up to 150 °C junction temperature with defined thermal resistance (25 K/W) to PCB copper pad (5.0 mm², 0.013 mm thick).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe blocking capability in 400 VAC input designs with margin. |
| IO @ TT=75°C | 3.0 A - continuous DC output current rating when mounted on specified PCB copper pad heat sink. |
| VFM @ IF=3.0A | 1.3 V - forward voltage drop determining conduction loss and thermal rise in high-current paths. |
| trr | 150 ns - reverse recovery time measured per JEDEC method; critical for EMI control and efficiency in 50/60 Hz rectifiers. |
| IFSM (8.3 ms) | 100 A - surge withstand capability during cold-start inrush, enabling robustness without external fusing. |
| RJT | 25 K/W - thermal resistance from junction to terminal; used to calculate junction temperature rise above PCB pad temperature. |
Pinout & Package
SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package with cathode band marking; molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), solder-plated terminals compliant with MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input AC node connection | Accepts alternating input; polarity must align with transformer secondary or bridge configuration. |
| Cathode | DC output node connection | Delivers rectified positive voltage; marked by band or notch for orientation during automated placement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated die | Enhances humidity and contamination resistance for long-term reliability in industrial environments. |
| Fast recovery (150 ns) | Reduces reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and associated switching losses in line-frequency applications. |

Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supplies | LED Driver Input Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Single-phase 230 VAC input stage feeding bulk capacitor in open-frame 30–60 W industrial power supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side unidirectional current switch converting AC to pulsating DC; operates at 50/60 Hz with minimal conduction loss. Use Value: 1.3 V VF and 25 K/W RJT enable stable thermal performance without heatsink, reducing BOM cost and board area. | Use Scenario: Input rectifier in constant-current LED driver for street lighting operating from 230 VAC mains. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end rectifier delivering low-ripple DC to downstream buck converter; handles 3 A average load continuously. Use Value: 600 V VRRM provides 2× safety margin over 230 VAC peak (325 V), ensuring long-term reliability under brownout and surge conditions. |
| UPS Battery Charger Input Stage | Appliance Motor Control Rectification |
Use Scenario: Rectification in offline battery charger module of line-interactive UPS handling 230 VAC input and 3 A charging current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-wave or full-bridge diode conducting during AC half-cycles; subjected to repeated 100 A surge events during grid reconnection. Use Value: 100 A IFSM rating allows direct use without parallel devices or external surge limiting, simplifying layout and improving MTBF. | Use Scenario: Input rectifier in universal motor speed controller for kitchen appliances operating from 120/230 VAC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Converts AC line voltage to DC bus for TRIAC or MOSFET-based phase-angle control circuitry. Use Value: Fast 150 ns trr minimizes commutation noise during zero-crossing switching, reducing conducted EMI filtering requirements. |
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 A IO, but TO-277 package (lower thermal resistance: 18 K/W); trr = 120 ns. | Requires different footprint and stencil; better suited for higher ambient or forced-air cooled designs. | Select when lower thermal resistance or tighter trr tolerance is required and PCB layout permits TO-277 mounting. |
| ES3J-E3/57T | Identical SMB package and pinout; same 600 V/3 A rating, but trr = 250 ns and VF = 1.45 V at 3 A. | Higher conduction loss and slower recovery; acceptable where EMI and efficiency margins allow. | Choose for cost-sensitive replacements where 150 ns trr is not critical and VF increase is tolerable. |
Compared with STTH3L06S and ES3J-E3/57T, RS3J-13-F offers optimal balance of SMB footprint compatibility, 150 ns recovery, and 1.3 V VF - making it preferred for space-constrained, naturally cooled 3 A rectification where thermal and switching performance are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for RS3J-13-F?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150 °C, with storage temperature matching this range. Operation at rated current requires maintaining terminal temperature ≤75 °C using the specified 5.0 mm² copper pad; exceeding this without thermal derating risks premature failure due to thermal runaway.
Can RS3J-13-F be used in full-wave bridge configurations?
Yes - RS3J-13-F is a single-die rectifier intended for use in discrete full-wave bridges. Four units can form a standard bridge rectifier; its 600 V VRRM supports 230 VAC inputs with margin, and its 100 A IFSM withstands bridge imbalance surges during startup.
Is RS3J-13-F halogen-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes - RS3J-13-F meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per Diodes Incorporated's material declarations. The molded plastic case contains no brominated flame retardants, and all terminations are lead-free matte tin plated.
How does capacitive loading affect RS3J-13-F current rating?
For capacitive loads, the average output current rating must be derated by 20% - i.e., limited to 2.4 A - due to increased peak current stress during capacitor charging. This derating ensures safe operation within SOA limits and prevents localized heating at the die edge.
