Product details
Overview
S3DB from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0A, 200V glass passivated surface-mount rectifier diode in SMB package, featuring 1.15V forward voltage at 3.0A, 100A non-repetitive surge capability, and 10°C/W junction-to-terminal thermal resistance-used in AC/DC front-end rectification for industrial power supplies and LED drivers.
For engineers reviewing the S3DB datasheet, S3DB pinout, S3DB application, or S3DB equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage (200V), average forward current (3.0A at +75°C), thermal resistance (10°C/W), surge rating (100A), and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating with SMB footprint compatibility.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-phase, half-wave silicon rectifier optimized for high-current, low-VF operation under resistive or inductive loads at 60Hz. Its glass passivated die construction ensures stable reverse leakage (<10µA @ 25°C, <250µA @ 125°C) and robust surge immunity up to 100A for 8.3ms half-sine wave.
The SMB package enables automated assembly with UL 94V-0 molded plastic housing, cathode band polarity marking, and thermal performance validated on 5.0 mm² copper pad. Capacitance is tightly controlled at 40 pF (1 MHz, 4V reverse bias), supporting EMI-sensitive switching applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating limit in 120VAC-derived circuits. |
| IO | 3.0 A @ TT = +75°C - Continuous DC output current rating; derated above ambient per Fig. 1 curve. |
| VFM | 1.15 V @ IF = 3.0A - Low conduction loss enabling >85% efficiency in 12V/24V SMPS input stages. |
| IFSM | 100 A (8.3ms) - Withstands inrush surges from cold-start capacitors without failure. |
| RθJT | 10 °C/W - Junction-to-terminal thermal resistance measured on 5.0 mm² copper pad; enables direct PCB heatsinking. |
| CT | 40 pF @ 1 MHz, 4V - Low junction capacitance minimizes switching noise coupling in high-frequency converters. |
| IRM | 10 µA @ 25°C / 250 µA @ 125°C - Confirmed reverse leakage supports stable blocking in temperature-critical environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (Surface-Mount Small Outline) - Molded plastic case, UL 94V-0 rated, cathode identified by band marking, matte tin-plated terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to AC input or transformer secondary; must handle full 3.0A RMS current and 100A surge. |
| Cathode | Current exit point during forward conduction; marked with band | Routes rectified DC to bulk capacitor; polarity critical for correct circuit operation and ESD protection layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die | Eliminates moisture-induced degradation and improves long-term reliability in humid industrial environments. |
| 100A surge rating | Supports repeated cold-start events in power adapters without parametric shift or catastrophic failure. |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Meets RoHS 2 (2011/65/EU) and "Green" compliance: Br+Cl <1500ppm, Sb <1000ppm. |
| Automated assembly compatible | SMB footprint aligns with IPC-7351B standards; enables high-yield pick-and-place at >25,000 UPH. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supplies | LED Driver Input Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 120VAC/230VAC input in DIN-rail mounted 24V/48V PSUs for PLCs and motor controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary AC/DC rectifier converting line voltage to unregulated DC bus prior to buck conversion. Use Value: 1.15V VFM reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. legacy 1N5408, improving thermal margin at 3A load. | Use Scenario: Front-end rectification in constant-current LED drivers powering streetlights and high-bay fixtures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path for bridgeless or single-diode input stage; blocks reverse voltage during AC zero-crossings. Use Value: 200V VRRM safely handles 170V peak from 120VAC and transient spikes up to 250V without avalanche stress. |
| Consumer AC Adapters | DC Motor Control Boards |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in compact wall-wart adapters delivering 5–12V/2A for IoT gateways and smart home hubs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side rectifier in flyback topology; conducts only during transformer reset phase. Use Value: SMB package fits tight board space while 10°C/W RθJT allows passive cooling without heatsink. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling diode across brushed DC motor windings in battery-powered tools and HVAC actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp inductive kickback energy during PWM turn-off; conducts brief high-current pulses. Use Value: 100A IFSM withstands repeated 50A motor stall transients without bond wire lift or junction failure. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MUR320 | Ultrafast recovery (trr = 50ns vs. S3DB's ~2000ns); higher VF (1.3V) | Better for high-frequency SMPS (>100kHz); unsuitable where low conduction loss dominates | Select when switching noise or EMI limits require fast recovery; avoid if thermal budget is constrained. |
| Vishay VS-3EJH02-M3/5A | Same VRRM/IO, but SMC package (larger footprint, lower RθJA) | Preferred for higher ambient temp (>85°C) or forced-air cooled designs | Choose for improved thermal dissipation where board area permits SMC; verify pad layout compatibility. |
Compared with MUR320 and VS-3EJH02-M3/5A, S3DB delivers lowest forward loss in SMB-constrained layouts but trades off speed and thermal headroom-ideal for cost-sensitive, thermally moderate 50/60Hz rectification.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for S3DB?
S3DB has an operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. The average forward current rating of 3.0A applies at terminal temperature (TT) = +75°C; derating follows the curve in Figure 1, reaching ~1.5A at +125°C terminal temperature.
Is S3DB suitable for use in a full-wave bridge configuration?
Yes-S3DB can be used as one leg in a discrete full-wave bridge. Its 200V VRRM supports 120VAC inputs (170V peak), and its 100A surge rating accommodates bridge inrush. Ensure matched diodes and symmetric PCB layout to balance thermal stress across all four devices.
Does S3DB require a heatsink in standard applications?
No external heatsink is required for typical 3.0A operation at +75°C terminal temperature when mounted on a 5.0 mm² copper pad. Its 10°C/W RθJT enables sufficient self-cooling; however, ambient temperatures above +85°C or continuous 3A loads may necessitate increased copper area or airflow.
How does S3DB's glass passivation improve reliability versus epoxy-passivated diodes?
Glass passivation provides superior moisture barrier properties and thermal stability over epoxy, reducing parameter drift and preventing corrosion-induced failure in humid or thermally cycling environments-validated by J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity and 1000-hour HAST testing per Diodes Incorporated qualification standards.
