Product details
Overview
RS3KB-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 800 V, 3.0 A surface-mount fast recovery rectifier in SMB package with 150 ns reverse recovery time, 1.3 V forward voltage at 3.0 A, and 100 A non-repetitive surge rating - used in AC/DC front-end rectification for industrial power supplies and LED drivers.
For engineers reviewing the RS3KB-13-F datasheet, RS3KB-13-F pinout, RS3KB-13-F application, or RS3KB-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (800 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 employs glass-passivated silicon die construction to achieve stable fast recovery characteristics across temperature. Its 150 ns trr (measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A) supports high-frequency switching efficiency in offline SMPS input stages.
The SMB package provides a defined thermal path (RJT = 25 K/W with 5.0 mm² copper pad) and meets UL 94V-0 flammability requirements. Polarity is marked by cathode band; terminals are solder-plated per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - blocks up to 800 V peak reverse voltage in bridge or single-phase rectifier configurations |
| IO | 3.0 A average - rated for continuous conduction at TT = 75°C with appropriate PCB copper heatsinking |
| VFM | 1.3 V @ 3.0 A - low conduction loss enabling >85% efficiency in 24–48 V output power supplies |
| trr | 150 ns - enables operation up to ~100 kHz without excessive switching loss in PFC or flyback inputs |
| RJT | 25 K/W - defines junction-to-terminal thermal gradient when mounted on 5.0 mm² × 0.013 mm Cu pad |
| IFSM | 100 A - withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge per JEDEC method, supporting cold-start inrush immunity |
| Tj Range | −65°C to +150°C - supports operation in extended-temperature industrial and outdoor lighting environments |
Pinout & Package
SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package: anode and cathode terminals exposed on opposite ends of molded plastic body; cathode identified by band marking; no internal leads - direct solder attachment to PCB pads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | AC input connection point | Accepts alternating input; conducts current during positive half-cycle when cathode is at higher potential |
| Cathode | DC output connection point | Delivers rectified unidirectional current; marked by visible band; connects to bulk capacitor or downstream converter |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated die | Ensures stable reverse leakage (<5 µA @ 25°C, <250 µA @ 125°C) and long-term reliability under humidity stress |
| Fast recovery (150 ns) | Reduces reverse recovery charge (Qrr) to minimize EMI and diode switching loss in high-frequency rectifiers |
| UL 94V-0 plastic case | Meets flame-retardant safety requirements for enclosed industrial and medical power equipment |
| 100 A surge rating | Supports repeated cold-start events without degradation in AC mains-fed LED drivers and motor controls |
Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supply | LED Driver Input Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Single-phase rectification feeding 30–60 W isolated flyback converter in DIN-rail power supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side uncontrolled rectifier converting 85–265 V AC to pulsating DC before bulk capacitor smoothing. Use Value: 800 V VRRM provides 2× safety margin over 265 V AC peak (375 V); 150 ns trr limits switching noise coupling into feedback circuitry. | Use Scenario: Input rectification for constant-current LED driver powering streetlight modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end diode in bridge configuration delivering DC bus to buck controller and LED string. Use Value: 3.0 A IO sustains 2.5 A continuous LED load with 20% derating for capacitive input; 100 A IFSM absorbs lightning-induced surges on outdoor lines. |
| Motor Control Rectifier | UPS Input Stage |
Use Scenario: Half-wave rectifier supplying gate drive bias for IGBTs in 3-phase inverter auxiliary supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolated low-power DC source generation from phase-to-phase AC sensing winding. Use Value: −65°C to +150°C operating range ensures startup at sub-zero ambient; 25 K/W RJT allows direct mounting on control board without heatsink. | Use Scenario: Input rectifier in line-interactive UPS charging circuit handling brownout and surge transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional conduction path from utility input to battery charger stage. Use Value: 800 V blocking capability accommodates 10% overvoltage tolerance on 230 V nominal grid; cathode band marking enables automated optical inspection during SMT placement. |
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 | 600 V VRRM, 120 ns trr, TO-277 package | Limited to ≤265 V AC input systems; lower thermal resistance (18 K/W) but smaller footprint | Select when system peak voltage ≤420 V and board space is constrained |
| ES3J-E3/57T | 600 V VRRM, 35 ns trr, SMB package | Faster recovery enables >500 kHz operation but lower surge rating (60 A) | Prefer for high-frequency PFC where Qrr minimization outweighs surge robustness |
Compared with STTH3L06S and ES3J-E3/57T, RS3KB-13-F offers superior 800 V blocking and 100 A surge margin for universal-input industrial power, trading off some speed for ruggedness in harsh-line environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper pad area for optimal thermal performance?
The datasheet specifies thermal resistance RJT = 25 K/W measured with a 5.0 mm² (0.013 mm thick) copper pad acting as heatsink. Increasing pad area beyond this yields diminishing returns; additional thermal vias to inner ground planes improve dissipation more effectively than lateral expansion alone.
Can RS3KB-13-F be used in full-wave bridge configurations?
Yes - RS3KB-13-F is a single-die, two-terminal device designed for use in discrete full-wave bridge assemblies. Four units can form a standard bridge rectifier; its 800 V VRRM supports 400 V RMS input, and cathode band marking ensures correct orientation during manual or automated assembly.
How does derating apply for capacitive input loads?
For capacitive input loads, the average forward current rating must be reduced by 20% - i.e., from 3.0 A to 2.4 A - due to increased peak current stress and harmonic content. This derating is specified in the datasheet and applies regardless of ambient temperature or heatsinking.
Is RS3KB-13-F compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes - RS3KB-13-F is RoHS-compliant (lead-free termination, homogeneous material compliance) and REACH-conformant per Diodes Incorporated's published declarations. The "-F" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free, halogen-free, and green packaging per IPC/JEDEC standards.
