Product details
Overview
S3DBH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount silicon rectifier diode with 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 3 A average forward current (IF), and 80 A surge capability (IFSM), designed for freewheeling, snubber, and automotive DC-DC converter circuits.
For engineers reviewing the S3DBH datasheet, S3DBH pinout, S3DBH application, or S3DBH equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-214AA (SMB) package, 1.15 V max forward voltage at 3 A, 1500 ns reverse recovery time, AEC-Q101 qualification, and moisture sensitivity level 1 compliance.
Technical Context
The S3DBH is a single-die, glass-passivated standard recovery rectifier optimized for moderate-speed switching in power conversion and protection circuits. Its 1500 ns trr and 40 pF junction capacitance reflect trade-offs between low conduction loss and manageable reverse recovery behavior.
It operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, with 10°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability. Polarity is marked by a cathode band on the DO-214AA case.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar standard recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L02 | 200 V VRRM, 3 A IF, but 50 ns trr (ultrafast); VF = 1.15 V typical | Better suited for higher-frequency (>100 kHz) switching where reverse recovery loss dominates | Select STTH3L02 only if trr < 200 ns is required; S3DBH preferred for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 20–60 kHz designs |
| SB320-E3/54 | 200 V VRRM, 3 A IF, 1000 ns trr, VF = 1.1 V max; same DO-214AA package | Lower VF reduces conduction loss slightly; slightly faster recovery than S3DBH | SB320-E3/54 offers marginal performance gain; S3DBH provides AEC-Q101 qualification not present in SB320-E3/54 |
Compared with STTH3L02 and SB320-E3/54, the S3DBH delivers AEC-Q101 assurance and MSL Level 1 handling-critical for automotive production-while maintaining competitive VF and sufficient trr for mid-frequency power conversion, making it optimal for cost-conscious, reliability-driven applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the S3DBH?
The S3DBH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +150°C, enabling reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and thermally demanding industrial power supplies. This rating is validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing and allows for full 3 A forward current derating up to 75°C ambient with appropriate PCB copper area. The S3DBH must not exceed this limit during steady-state or transient conditions.
Is the S3DBH pin-compatible with other devices in the S3xBH series?
Yes, all S3xBH variants-including S3ABH, S3BBH, S3DBH, S3GBH, S3JBH, S3KBH, and S3MBH-share identical DO-214AA (SMB) packaging, pinout, and mechanical dimensions. The only difference is rated VRRM (50 V to 1000 V), so S3DBH can be substituted within the same footprint when 200 V blocking is required. The S3DBH marking code "S3DB" appears on the cathode-banded surface.
Does the S3DBH meet automotive reliability standards?
Yes, the S3DBH is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 for discrete semiconductors, covering stress tests including HTGB, HTRB, temperature cycling, and ESD. It also meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1, eliminating bake requirements before SMT assembly-making the S3DBH suitable for direct use in automotive ECUs, lighting modules, and body electronics without additional qualification.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for the S3DBH?
The S3DBH has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 1500 ns, measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This value reflects its standard recovery behavior-optimized for efficiency in 20–100 kHz power stages rather than ultra-high-frequency operation. Designers should account for this trr when calculating switching losses and EMI filtering in buck, flyback, or snubber circuits using the S3DBH.
Can the S3DBH be used in surface-mount reflow processes without moisture preconditioning?
Yes, the S3DBH is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH and requires no dry-packaging or baking prior to reflow. This simplifies manufacturing logistics and eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk during standard lead-free (260°C peak) or tin-lead reflow profiles-confirming the S3DBH's readiness for high-yield automated assembly lines.
