Product details
Overview
S3BHR7G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount silicon rectifier diode with 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 3 A average forward current (IF), and 100 A non-repetitive surge capability (IFSM), housed in a DO-214AB (SMC) package; it delivers low forward voltage drop (≤1.15 V at 3 A, 25°C) and is used in AC/DC front-end rectification for switching mode power supplies and LED lighting drivers.
For engineers reviewing the S3BHR7G datasheet, S3BHR7G pinout, S3BHR7G application, or S3BHR7G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V VRRM, 13 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, 1500 ns reverse recovery time, moisture sensitivity level 1 compliance, and suitability for automated SMT assembly in high-volume industrial power converters.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, standard recovery silicon rectifier optimized for cost-sensitive, medium-voltage AC/DC conversion where fast recovery is not required. Its 1500 ns reverse recovery time (trr) and 60 pF junction capacitance reflect standard PN-junction behavior under 0.5 A forward / 1.0 A reverse test conditions.
Thermally, it features a DO-214AB (SMC) package with 13 °C/W junction-to-lead (RθJL) and 47 °C/W junction-to-ambient (RθJA) thermal resistance, enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature when mounted on adequate copper area.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating range in bridge or single-diode rectifier configurations. |
| IF | 3 A - Continuous average forward current at 75 °C case temperature; determines heatsinking requirements in steady-state operation. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine); supports inrush current handling during power-up in SMPS inputs. |
| VF | ≤1.15 V @ 3 A, 25°C - Forward voltage drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design in high-current rectification stages. |
| trr | 1500 ns - Reverse recovery time affects switching losses and EMI in higher-frequency converters; indicates standard recovery performance. |
| RθJL | 13 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables direct thermal coupling to PCB copper; critical for estimating die temperature rise under load. |
| MSL | Level 1 (per J-STD-020) - No floor life limitation; can be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH and placed without baking prior to reflow. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S | 600 V VRRM, 3 A IF, 50 ns trr, TO-277 package | Designed for higher-voltage, faster-switching PFC and boost stages; unsuitable for 100 V nominal systems due to over-spec and cost penalty. | Select only if system requires >400 V VRRM headroom or sub-100 ns recovery; otherwise, S3BHR7G offers better cost/performance balance at 100 V. |
| SB3100 | 100 V VRRM, 3 A IF, 1000 ns trr, DO-214AA (SMA) package | Smaller SMA package limits thermal performance (RθJA ≈ 75 °C/W vs. 47 °C/W); less suitable for sustained 3 A loads above 60 °C ambient. | Acceptable for low-duty-cycle or low-ambient applications; choose S3BHR7G when board-level thermal management or long-term reliability at full load is critical. |
Compared with STTH3L06S and SB3100, the S3BHR7G provides optimal trade-off of 100 V rating, 3 A current capacity, and DO-214AB thermal performance for mainstream industrial and lighting rectification-without over-engineering voltage margin or compromising thermal robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the S3BHR7G?
The S3BHR7G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This allows operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed LED drivers or industrial power supplies when properly heatsinked. Derating curves confirm usable current capacity down to 0 A at 150 °C case temperature. The S3BHR7G must not exceed this limit to maintain reliability and avoid parametric shift.
Is the S3BHR7G RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the S3BHR7G is fully RoHS compliant and halogen-free, as confirmed in the "Features" section of the Taiwan Semiconductor S3A–S3M datasheet (Version O2301). This compliance meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and IPC-4101D requirements for lead-free soldering and environmentally restricted substances, making the S3BHR7G suitable for export to global markets including the EU and China.
What does the 'S3B' in S3BHR7G indicate?
The 'S3B' prefix in S3BHR7G identifies it as the 100 V variant within Taiwan Semiconductor's S3x rectifier family, where 'S3A' = 50 V, 'S3B' = 100 V, 'S3D' = 200 V, etc. The 'HR7G' suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging (7-inch reel), green compound (halogen-free), and standard JEDEC-compliant DO-214AB (SMC) molding. This coding aligns with TSC's official ordering information table.
Can the S3BHR7G replace a 1N5408 in an existing design?
The S3BHR7G is not a direct replacement for the 1N5408 due to differing packages and thermal characteristics: the 1N5408 uses DO-201AD (axial) while the S3BHR7G uses DO-214AB (SMC, surface-mount). Though both share 3 A / 1000 V ratings, the S3BHR7G has lower VF (1.15 V vs. ~1.2 V) and superior thermal resistance (13 °C/W vs. ~30 °C/W), but requires PCB redesign for SMT placement. Use only after layout and thermal validation.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for the S3BHR7G?
The S3BHR7G has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 1500 ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table of the Taiwan Semiconductor S3A–S3M datasheet. This value confirms standard recovery behavior-suitable for 50/60 Hz and low-kHz rectification-but not for high-frequency (>100 kHz) synchronous rectifier replacement. The S3BHR7G should not be substituted in circuits relying on ultrafast recovery.
