Product details
Overview
S3DB-K from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 200V standard surface-mount silicon rectifier diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring glass-passivated junction, low reverse leakage (≤5 µA at 25°C), and 80A surge capability - used in DC-DC converters and switching-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the S3DB-K datasheet, S3DB-K pinout, S3DB-K application, or S3DB-K equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (200 V), forward voltage (0.93 V @ 3 A, 25°C), thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150°C), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance.
Technical Context
The S3DB-K is a single-die, unidirectional standard recovery rectifier optimized for general-purpose and switching-mode power conversion. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse characteristics and moisture resistance (J-STD-020 Level 1), while the DO-214AA (SMB) package supports automated placement and meets UL 94V-0 flammability requirements.
Electrical behavior is defined by a maximum forward voltage of 1.15 V at 3 A and 25°C, reverse current ≤300 µA at 125°C, and junction capacitance of 60 pF at 4 V - enabling predictable performance in high-frequency switching topologies with moderate dV/dt stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in bridge or freewheeling configurations. |
| IF | 3 A continuous - Average forward current rating at TL = 75°C on 10 mm × 10 mm Cu pad; sets baseline conduction capacity. |
| IFSM | 80 A (8.3 ms) - Non-repetitive surge current handling; supports inrush and fault-current transients without failure. |
| VF | 0.93 V @ 3 A, 25°C - Forward drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design in power stages. |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables accurate thermal modeling when mounted on PCB copper. |
| IR | ≤5 µA @ 200 V, 25°C - Low leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance bias networks and standby circuits. |
| TJ max | +150°C - Maximum junction temperature; allows operation in thermally constrained industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package with cathode-indicated band; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 1 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck converter); polarity must align with layout marking. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked by band; ties to higher-potential rail (e.g., output capacitor positive); determines rectification direction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Enables stable reverse leakage (<5 µA at 25°C) and long-term reliability under humid conditions per J-STD-020 Level 1. |
| DO-214AA (SMB) package | Supports automated pick-and-place; footprint compatible with IPC-7351B SMB standard; 0.090 g mass aids thermal management on PCB. |
| Low forward voltage | 0.93 V @ 3 A reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. comparable 1N5822-level Schottky alternatives at same current. |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU - required for export to EU, Japan, and China markets. |
| UL 94V-0 molding compound | Ensures flame-retardant enclosure integrity during overtemperature events in enclosed power modules. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter | Switching Inverter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Output rectification in isolated flyback or forward converters delivering 5–24 V at up to 3 A. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path enforcing polarity and blocking reverse voltage during transformer reset. Use Value: 200 V VRRM provides 2× margin over 12 V output with reflected primary spikes; 0.93 V VF limits power loss to <3 W at full load. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling diode across inductive loads (e.g., motor windings or solenoids) in half-bridge inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss current recirculation path during high-side switch off-time. Use Value: 80 A IFSM withstands short-circuit transients; 150°C TJmax supports operation near heatsink-limited MOSFETs. |
| AC-DC Adapter | Industrial Power Supply |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in compact wall adapters powering consumer electronics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Converts transformer secondary AC to regulated DC; operates in continuous conduction mode. Use Value: DO-214AA footprint minimizes board area; 0.090 g weight eases mechanical stress on solder joints during thermal cycling. | Use Scenario: Input stage rectification in 24–48 V industrial SMPS with wide ambient temperature range. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Handles line-frequency input rectification and ripple filtering before PFC stage. Use Value: –55 to +150°C TJ range ensures functionality in unheated enclosures; RθJL = 20 °C/W simplifies thermal pad design. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar standard rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L02 | 3 A, 200 V, TO-220AC package; higher VF (1.15 V @ 3 A); RθJA = 50 °C/W (free air) | Requires heatsink for >1.5 A continuous; unsuitable for space-constrained SMT designs | Choose STTH3L02 only when through-hole mounting and higher surge tolerance (100 A) are prioritized over board area. |
| SB320-E3/54 | 3 A, 20 V (not 200 V); Schottky architecture; VF = 0.52 V @ 3 A; TJmax = 125°C | Cannot replace S3DB-K in 200 V blocking roles; limited to low-voltage DC-DC outputs | Select SB320-E3/54 only for ≤20 V output rectification where ultra-low VF outweighs voltage rating deficiency. |
Compared with STTH3L02 and SB320-E3/54, the S3DB-K uniquely balances 200 V blocking, SMT compatibility, and thermal performance in a cost-effective DO-214AA package - making it optimal for mid-power switching supplies where voltage rating, footprint, and reliability are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the S3DB-K?
The S3DB-K has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows reliable operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed industrial power supplies. Derating curves in the datasheet confirm usable current capacity down to –55°C ambient, and the S3DB-K maintains specified electrical parameters within this full range.
Does the S3DB-K have a RoHS and halogen-free certification?
Yes, the S3DB-K is RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. These certifications are explicitly stated in the product features section and confirmed in the ordering information notes. The device uses matte tin-plated leads and UL 94V-0 molding compound, supporting environmentally regulated manufacturing and export requirements.
What is the forward voltage of the S3DB-K at 3 A and 25°C?
The forward voltage (VF) of the S3DB-K is 0.93 V typical and 1.15 V maximum at 3 A and 25°C, per the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and reflects real-world conduction loss in switching power supplies. At 125°C, VF drops to 0.87 V typical, improving efficiency at elevated temperatures.
Is the S3DB-K pin-compatible with other parts in the S3x-K series?
No - all S3x-K parts (S3GB-K, S3JB-K, etc.) share identical DO-214AA (SMB) package and anode/cathode pinout, but differ only in VRRM rating (200–1000 V). The S3DB-K marking "S3DB" identifies its 200 V rating; physical layout and solder footprint are fully interchangeable across the family for design reuse.
What is the surge current rating of the S3DB-K and how is it tested?
The S3DB-K has a non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 80 A for t = 8.3 ms (half-sine wave), per Absolute Maximum Ratings. This rating is validated using standardized JEDEC test conditions and applies to single-event overload scenarios like startup inrush or short-circuit recovery. A second rating of 224 A is specified for t = 1.0 ms pulses.
