Product details
Overview
RS3K-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 800 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 RS3K-13-F datasheet, RS3K-13-F pinout, RS3K-13-F application, or RS3K-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (800 V), thermal resistance (25 K/W), junction-to-terminal mounting requirement, and fast recovery performance under 60 Hz half-wave resistive load conditions.
Technical Context
This device uses glass-passivated silicon die to achieve fast recovery (trr = 150 ns) with low forward voltage drop (VFM = 1.3 V @ 3.0 A) and high surge tolerance (IFSM = 100 A). It operates across –65 °C to +150 °C and requires a minimum 5.0 mm² copper pad for thermal management per JEDEC test condition.
The rectifier is rated for single-phase, half-wave 60 Hz operation with resistive or inductive loads; capacitive loads require 20% current derating. Reverse leakage is specified at 5.0 µA @ 25 °C and 250 µA @ 125 °C under full DC blocking voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe operating limit in bridge or choke-input rectifier topologies |
| IO @ TT=75°C | 3.0 A - average forward current rating with terminal temperature limited to 75 °C; requires PCB copper heatsinking |
| VFM @ IF=3.0A | 1.3 V - forward voltage drop determining conduction loss and thermal dissipation in continuous operation |
| trr | 150 ns - reverse recovery time measured at IF=0.5A, IR=1.0A, Irr=0.25A; critical for EMI and switching loss in high-frequency rectifiers |
| RJT | 25 K/W - junction-to-terminal thermal resistance with 5.0 mm² copper pad; used to calculate junction temperature rise under load |
| IFSM | 100 A - non-repetitive surge rating for 8.3 ms half-sine wave; supports inrush current handling during cold start |
Pinout & Package
SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package with cathode band marking; two-terminal device (anode and cathode) mounted on PCB with solderable tin-plated terminals compliant with MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input terminal for positive half-cycle conduction | Connected to AC source or transformer secondary; carries full forward current during conduction phase |
| Cathode | Output terminal for rectified DC path | Marked with band; connects to bulk capacitor or downstream filter stage; defines polarity of output rail |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated die construction | Enables stable reverse leakage performance and long-term reliability under thermal cycling and humidity stress |
| Fast recovery time (150 ns) | Reduces switching losses and EMI generation in high-frequency rectifier stages compared to standard recovery diodes |
| UL 94V-0 flammability rating | Confirms flame-retardant plastic encapsulation suitable for safety-critical industrial and medical power systems |
| 100 A surge rating (JEDEC method) | Supports robust operation during line transients and cold-start inrush without degradation or failure |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3R08S | Same SMB package, 800 V VRRM, but trr = 125 ns and VFM = 1.25 V @ 3 A | Lower conduction loss and faster recovery; suited for higher-frequency SMPS where EMI is critical | Select when optimizing for lowest possible switching loss and tighter EMI filtering requirements |
| ES3J-E3/57T | SMB package, 600 V VRRM, trr = 35 ns, VFM = 1.7 V @ 3 A | Higher speed but lower voltage rating; unsuitable for 230 VAC mains without derating | Use only in 115 VAC-only or low-voltage DC-DC input stages requiring ultra-fast recovery |
Compared with STTH3R08S and ES3J-E3/57T, RS3K-13-F offers balanced trade-offs: sufficient 800 V rating for global mains input, proven thermal behavior with standard PCB layout, and cost-effective performance for industrial-grade rectification where extreme speed is not required.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for RS3K-13-F?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150 °C, with storage temperature range matching at –65 °C to +150 °C. Operation above this limit risks permanent parametric shift or catastrophic failure. Thermal design must ensure TJ ≤ 150 °C using the 25 K/W RJT value and measured terminal temperature.
Can RS3K-13-F be used in full-wave bridge configurations?
Yes - RS3K-13-F is a single die, two-terminal device and is commonly used as one quadrant in discrete full-wave bridge assemblies. Its 800 V VRRM and 100 A IFSM make it suitable for both center-tapped and bridge rectifier topologies operating from 230 VAC mains.
Is RS3K-13-F RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - RS3K-13-F meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is certified halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The device carries the "-F" suffix per Diodes Incorporated's standard designation for lead-free, green-compliant packaging.
Does RS3K-13-F require a heatsink for 3.0 A continuous operation?
No dedicated heatsink is required, but a minimum 5.0 mm² copper pad (0.013 mm thick) must be used as the thermal interface per JEDEC test condition. This pad functions as the primary heatsink; additional copper pour or internal layers improve thermal performance in high-ambient environments.
