Product details
Overview
RS3MB-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 1000 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 - used in AC/DC front-end rectification for industrial power supplies and LED drivers.
For engineers reviewing the RS3MB-13-F datasheet, RS3MB-13-F pinout, RS3MB-13-F application, or RS3MB-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (1000 V), thermal resistance (25 K/W), junction-to-terminal cooling path, and fast recovery performance under 60 Hz inductive loads.
Technical Context
This device is a single-phase, silicon planar epitaxial fast recovery rectifier with glass-passivated die construction. It delivers low forward voltage drop (1.3 V @ 3.0 A) and high surge robustness (100 A, 8.3 ms half-sine) while maintaining tight trr control (150 ns) under standardized test conditions (IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A).
Designed for automated SMT assembly on PCBs with ≥5.0 mm² copper pad heat sinking, it operates across –65 °C to +150 °C and meets UL 94V-0 flammability requirements. Its cathode band polarity marking and solderable terminals comply with MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - supports input rectification in 800 VAC line-derived systems with safety margin |
| IO @ TT=75°C | 3.0 A - continuous DC output current with terminal temperature limited to 75 °C |
| VFM @ IF=3.0A | 1.3 V - reduces conduction loss by ~39% vs. standard recovery diodes at same current |
| trr | 150 ns - enables operation in high-frequency switching converters up to ~200 kHz without excessive switching loss |
| IFSM (8.3ms) | 100 A - withstands inrush surges from cold-started capacitive-input power supplies |
| RJT | 25 K/W - requires ≥5.0 mm² copper pad for thermal management per JEDEC mounting condition |
| IRM @ 125°C | 250 µA - ensures low leakage in high-temp environments like enclosed LED drivers |

Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supply | LED Driver Input Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Single-phase rectification stage in 100–200 W open-frame power supplies for factory automation controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast recovery rectifier in bridge or discrete half-wave configuration; blocks 1000 V reverse transients during line spikes. Use Value: 150 ns trr prevents cross-conduction loss in high-frequency PFC stages; 25 K/W RJT enables compact layout with minimal copper area. | Use Scenario: Input rectifier in isolated flyback LED drivers for street lighting operating at 277 VAC line. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side AC input rectifier; handles 100 A surge during lamp hot-plug events. Use Value: 1000 V VRRM provides margin against 277 VAC × √2 × 1.2 transient peaks; UL 94V-0 housing meets outdoor luminaire safety standards. |
| UPS Input Stage | Motor Drive Auxiliary Power |
Use Scenario: Input rectification in online UPS systems where battery backup must engage within 4 ms of mains failure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability rectifier in dual-path input stage; sustains conduction during brief line sags. Use Value: Stable 250 µA IRM at 125 °C ensures no thermal runaway during extended overload; SMB footprint allows dense board layout. | Use Scenario: Auxiliary 24 V supply rectifier for gate driver ICs and logic in 3-phase inverter modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolated auxiliary supply rectifier; operates continuously at elevated ambient temperatures near IGBT heatsinks. Use Value: –65 °C to +150 °C rating supports operation adjacent to 100 °C heatsinks; 0.09 g weight minimizes mechanical stress on SMT joints. |
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 ≤600 V line-derived systems; lower surge rating (60 A) | Choose when lower voltage rating suffices and faster recovery is prioritized over surge margin |
| ES3M-E3/57T | 1000 V VRRM, 250 ns trr, SMB package, 1.7 V VF @ 3A | Higher forward loss increases thermal load; identical mounting but higher junction temp rise | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets and thermal headroom exists |
Compared with RS3MB-13-F, STTH3L06S trades 400 V blocking margin for faster recovery, while ES3M-E3/57T retains voltage rating but sacrifices conduction efficiency - making RS3MB-13-F optimal for 1000 V, thermally constrained, high-surge industrial rectification.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for RS3MB-13-F?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150 °C, as specified in the datasheet's operating temperature range. This limit applies under steady-state conditions with proper PCB thermal design - specifically a 5.0 mm² copper pad per JEDEC mounting guidelines. Exceeding this temperature risks permanent parametric shift or catastrophic failure.
Can RS3MB-13-F replace a standard recovery rectifier in an existing 60 Hz transformer-based power supply?
Yes - RS3MB-13-F can directly replace standard recovery diodes in 60 Hz linear supplies, provided its 1000 V VRRM exceeds the peak inverse voltage present. Its faster recovery introduces no risk in low-frequency operation, and its lower VF (1.3 V vs. typical 1.8 V) reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency without circuit modification.
Is RS3MB-13-F suitable for use in a capacitive-input filter configuration?
No - the datasheet explicitly states that current must be derated by 20% for capacitive loads due to high peak currents. In such configurations, RMS current stress increases significantly, risking thermal overload. For capacitive-input designs, use a higher-current-rated part or implement inrush limiting to stay within the 3.0 A average rating.
Does RS3MB-13-F have lead-free and RoHS-compliant construction?
Yes - RS3MB-13-F is manufactured with lead-free terminations and complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS-709B. The "-F" suffix in the part number denotes RoHS-compliant packaging and plating, confirmed in Diodes Incorporated's official product change notices and material declarations.
