Product details
Overview
S3B-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 100 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 3.0 A average rectified surface-mount glass passivated diode in SMB package, featuring 1.15 V forward voltage at 3.0 A and 100 A non-repetitive surge capability-used in AC/DC input stage rectification for industrial power supplies and LED drivers.
For engineers reviewing the S3B-13-F datasheet, S3B-13-F pinout, S3B-13-F application, or S3B-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse voltage rating (100 V), thermal resistance (10 °C/W), RMS reverse voltage (70 V), capacitance (40 pF), and RoHS/Green compliance status.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-phase, half-wave silicon rectifier with glass passivated junction for enhanced reliability under transient stress. Its 100 A surge rating supports line-voltage inrush handling in offline switch-mode power supplies.
Thermal performance is defined with junction-to-terminal resistance of 10 °C/W when mounted on a 5.0 mm² copper pad; electrical behavior includes 10 µA peak reverse current at 25 °C and 250 µA at 125 °C under rated DC blocking voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum peak reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating limit in 85–265 VAC input stages. |
| IO @ TT=75°C | 3.0 A - Continuous average forward current rating at terminal temperature; defines steady-state power delivery capacity. |
| VFM @ IF=3.0A | 1.15 V - Forward voltage drop at rated current; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design. |
| IFSM (8.3 ms) | 100 A - Non-repetitive surge current capability; enables survival during cold-start inrush events. |
| RθJT | 10 °C/W - Junction-to-terminal thermal resistance; used to calculate junction temperature rise above PCB copper pad. |
| CT @ 1 MHz | 40 pF - Junction capacitance at 4 V reverse bias; influences high-frequency switching noise and EMI filter design. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (Surface-Mount Small Outline Diode), molded plastic case per UL 94V-0, cathode identified by band marking. Dimensions: 3.30–3.94 mm (L) × 4.06–4.57 mm (W) × 1.96–2.21 mm (H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to AC input or transformer secondary; must withstand full surge current path. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse voltage reference | Marked with band; ties to output capacitor positive rail or downstream switching node. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die construction | Prevents moisture ingress and surface contamination, improving long-term reliability in humid or contaminated environments. |
| Lead-free, halogen- and antimony-free "Green" finish | Meets RoHS 2 (2011/65/EU) and JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements for automated reflow assembly. |
| 100 A surge rating (8.3 ms half-sine) | Supports robust operation during repeated cold-start conditions without degradation in AC/DC front-end designs. |
| Low thermal resistance (10 °C/W) | Enables higher power density layout with minimal copper area-only 5.0 mm² pad required for rated current derating. |
Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supplies | LED Driver Input Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 50/60 Hz AC mains input in enclosed industrial power modules rated up to 75 W. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side uncontrolled rectifier converting AC to pulsating DC prior to bulk capacitor filtering. Use Value: 100 V VRRM safely covers 265 VAC peak (375 V), while 1.15 V VFM limits conduction loss to <3.5 W at 3 A continuous. | Use Scenario: Input-stage rectification in constant-current LED drivers for street lighting and high-bay fixtures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability bridge leg component in single-phase full-wave configurations with passive PFC. Use Value: 100 A IFSM handles lamp-strike surges; glass passivation prevents parametric shift in outdoor-rated enclosures. |
| UPS Battery Charger Front-End | Appliance Motor Control Rectifiers |
Use Scenario: Charging circuit rectifier in line-interactive UPS systems with bidirectional AC input monitoring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolated AC input rectifier feeding dual-directional buck-boost converter stage. Use Value: 70 V VR(RMS) rating matches 120 VAC nominal input; 10 µA IRM at 25 °C ensures low standby leakage. | Use Scenario: Rectification in universal motor control boards for HVAC blowers and kitchen appliances. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compact, automated-assembly-compatible rectifier replacing axial-leaded types in space-constrained PCBs. Use Value: SMB footprint (3.6 × 4.3 mm) reduces board area by >60% vs. DO-201AD; RoHS-compliant plating supports global manufacturing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MUR3100CT | TO-220AB package, dual common-cathode configuration, 1000 V VRRM, 3 A avg per diode | Requires heatsink mounting; suited for higher-voltage, higher-power discrete designs | Select when higher voltage margin or dual-diode integration is needed; not drop-in for SMB footprint. |
| Vishay VS-3EJH02-M3/45 | SMB package, 100 V VRRM, 3 A IO, but 1.3 V VFM at 3 A and 12 °C/W RθJT | Higher conduction loss and thermal resistance reduce usable current in thermally constrained layouts | Acceptable where cost is primary driver and thermal headroom exceeds 15 °C above ambient. |
Compared with MUR3100CT and VS-3EJH02-M3/45, S3B-13-F delivers optimal balance of low VFM (1.15 V), low RθJT (10 °C/W), and SMB footprint-making it preferred for compact, thermally efficient 100 V rectification where board space and thermal management are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for S3B-13-F?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150 °C, as specified in the Thermal Characteristics table. Operation above this limit risks permanent degradation of the glass passivated junction. Derating curves in Figure 1 show that average forward current must be reduced linearly from 3.0 A at +75 °C terminal temperature to zero at +150 °C.
Can S3B-13-F replace S3A-13-F in an existing design?
Yes, with verification of voltage margin. S3B-13-F has 100 V VRRM versus S3A-13-F's 50 V rating-both share identical SMB package, thermal resistance, and forward characteristics. Replacement is safe if system peak reverse voltage remains ≤100 V; no layout or thermal changes are needed.
Is S3B-13-F suitable for use in a full-wave bridge configuration?
Yes, as a single leg. The device is a single diode; four units can form a discrete bridge. Its 100 A surge rating and low VFM make it appropriate for medium-power bridges, though dedicated bridge packages (e.g., GBPC3506) offer lower assembly cost at higher volumes.
Does S3B-13-F require derating for capacitive loads?
Yes. Per the datasheet, average forward current must be derated by 20% when used with capacitive-input filters-reducing IO from 3.0 A to 2.4 A at +75 °C terminal temperature. This accounts for increased peak current stress caused by zero-crossing charging currents.
