Product details
Overview
RS3JB-13 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 rectification for industrial power supplies and LED drivers.
For engineers reviewing the RS3JB-13 datasheet, RS3JB-13 pinout, RS3JB-13 application, or RS3JB-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (600 V), average forward 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, silicon planar junction, glass-passivated fast recovery rectifier optimized for high-efficiency switching power conversion. Its 150 ns recovery time enables operation in 50–100 kHz SMPS topologies without excessive switching loss.
The SMB package provides defined thermal path to PCB copper pad (5.0 mm², 0.013 mm thick), delivering 25 K/W junction-to-terminal resistance. Polarity is marked by cathode band; forward voltage remains ≤1.3 V under full rated DC load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - supports input rectification from 400 VAC line-derived DC bus with margin |
| IO | 3.0 A @ TT = 75°C - continuous output current rating with standard PCB heatsinking |
| trr | 150 ns - enables efficient operation in 50–100 kHz flyback and forward converters |
| VF | 1.3 V @ IF = 3.0 A - limits conduction loss to <3.9 W at full load |
| IFSM | 100 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands inrush surges in offline SMPS startup |
| RθJT | 25 K/W - requires ≥5.0 mm² copper pad for thermal compliance at full current |
| Cj | 50 pF @ 4 V, 1 MHz - contributes to EMI profile in high-dV/dt switching nodes |

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 75 ns trr; TO-277 package (3-pin, anode-cathode-anode) | Lower recovery loss in >200 kHz designs; requires different footprint and thermal pad layout | Select when higher switching frequency or lower EMI is prioritized over footprint compatibility |
| ES3J | 600 V VRRM, 3 A IO, 150 ns trr, same SMB package; VF = 1.7 V @ 3 A | Higher conduction loss; wider availability but lower efficiency in thermally constrained layouts | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs 0.4 V VF penalty and thermal margin is sufficient |
Compared with STTH3L06S and ES3J, RS3JB-13 delivers optimal balance of low forward drop (1.3 V), fast recovery (150 ns), and SMB footprint compatibility - making it preferred for space-constrained 50–100 kHz industrial power supplies where thermal and layout constraints dominate.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for RS3JB-13?
The RS3JB-13 has a specified operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. Its average forward current rating of 3.0 A is guaranteed at terminal temperature (TT) = 75°C with a 5.0 mm² copper pad heatsink. Derating is required above this temperature per Figure 1 in the datasheet.
Is RS3JB-13 suitable for use in a bridge rectifier configuration?
Yes - RS3JB-13 is a single die, single-junction fast recovery rectifier designed for use as an individual leg in full-wave bridge configurations. Four units can form a discrete SMB-based bridge; its 600 V VRRM supports 400 VAC input with safety margin.
Does RS3JB-13 have lead-free and RoHS-compliant construction?
Yes - RS3JB-13 is manufactured with lead-free terminations and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS-709C. The molded plastic case meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and the device is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21.
How does the SMB package affect thermal performance compared to SMC?
The SMB package has higher thermal resistance (25 K/W) than the SMC variant (15 K/W), due to smaller copper pad area and lower mass. To maintain Tj < 150°C at 3.0 A, RS3JB-13 requires ≥5.0 mm² of 0.013 mm thick copper; SMC versions allow higher current density under identical layout.
