Product details
Overview
RS3MB-T from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1000 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 3 A average forward current fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring 500 ns reverse recovery time and 1.13 V typical forward voltage at 3.0 A and 25°C, used in high-voltage DC-DC converters and switching inverters.
For engineers reviewing the RS3MB-T datasheet, RS3MB-T pinout, RS3MB-T application, or RS3MB-T equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM=1000 V, IFSM=80 A (8.3 ms), TJ max=150°C, RθJA=78°C/W on 10 mm × 10 mm Cu pad, and low IR ≤5 µA at 25°C for high-efficiency power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, glass-passivated silicon junction rectifier optimized for fast switching in high-frequency power supplies. Its 500 ns trr and 50 pF junction capacitance support operation in SMPS topologies up to several hundred kHz.
The DO-214AA (SMB) package provides robust thermal performance with RθJL=20°C/W and RθJC=26°C/W, enabling reliable conduction at 3 A continuous with proper PCB copper area. Polarity is indicated by cathode band; leads are matte tin-plated per J-STD-002.

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 | VRRM=600 V, trr=50 ns, VF=1.15 V @ 3 A, DO-214AA | Limited to ≤600 V systems; faster recovery but lower voltage rating | Select when system VRRM ≤600 V and trr <100 ns is required |
| VS-3EYH02-M3/54 | VRRM=1000 V, trr=35 ns, VF=1.25 V @ 3 A, DO-214AA | Lower trr but higher VF; tighter IR spec (≤2 µA @ 25°C) | Prefer for ultra-fast switching where conduction loss margin permits +0.12 V VF increase |
Compared with STTH3L06S and VS-3EYH02-M3/54, the RS3MB-T offers the highest VRRM (1000 V) among SMB-packaged 3 A fast rectifiers while maintaining balanced trr (500 ns) and VF (1.13 V), making it optimal for cost-sensitive 800–1000 V industrial power stages where moderate speed suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for RS3MB-T?
The RS3MB-T has a VRRM rating of 1000 V, confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table for the RS3MB-T variant. This value is specific to the RS3MB-T marking code and distinguishes it from lower-voltage variants like RS3DB-T (200 V) and RS3KB-T (800 V). The 1000 V rating enables use in 800 V nominal bus systems with sufficient safety margin.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of RS3MB-T and how is it measured?
The RS3MB-T has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 500 ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A per the Electrical Specifications table. This value applies specifically to RS3KB-T and RS3MB-T variants and reflects their optimized carrier lifetime for high-voltage fast recovery operation.
Is RS3MB-T RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, RS3MB-T is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the datasheet. This compliance applies to the entire RS3DB-T through RS3MB-T family and is verified for the RS3MB-T variant via material declarations and manufacturing process controls.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA) for RS3MB-T?
The RS3MB-T has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 78°C/W when mounted on a 10 mm × 10 mm copper pad test board, as specified in the THERMAL PERFORMANCE section. This value is consistent across the RS3DB-T to RS3MB-T family and assumes standard JEDEC-compliant PCB layout conditions.
Does RS3MB-T have moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating and what does it mean for assembly?
RS3MB-T has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/85% RH and placed directly into reflow without baking. This MSL rating is confirmed in the FEATURES section and applies to all variants in the RS3x-T series, simplifying SMT line integration.
