Product details
Overview
S3KB R5G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 800V standard surface-mount silicon rectifier diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring glass-passivated junction, 1.15V max forward voltage at 3A/25°C, 80A surge capability, and 150°C max junction temperature. It serves as primary-side AC/DC rectifier in offline SMPS and industrial power adapters.
For engineers reviewing the S3KB R5G datasheet, S3KB R5G pinout, S3KB R5G application, or S3KB R5G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (800V), forward current rating (3A), thermal resistance (10°C/W), moisture sensitivity level (J-STD-020 Level 1), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for high-reliability power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This single-die standard recovery rectifier operates with a typical reverse recovery time of 1500 ns under IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, Irr = 0.25A conditions and exhibits 40 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz and 4.0V reverse bias. Its TJ range spans −55°C to +150°C, supporting operation in thermally constrained environments.
The device uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Polarity is marked by cathode band on the DO-214AA molded case, which carries UL 94V-0 flammability rating and weighs approximately 0.090 g.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown in continuous operation |
| IF | 3 A - Continuous average forward current rating at TA = 25°C, derates above 25°C per curve Fig.1 |
| IFSM | 80 A - Non-repetitive peak surge current tolerance for 8.3 ms half-sine wave, critical for inrush handling |
| VF (max) | 1.15 V - Maximum forward voltage drop at 3 A and 25°C junction temperature, directly impacts conduction loss |
| IR (max) | 10 µA - Maximum reverse leakage at rated VR and 25°C, ensures low standby power loss in high-impedance circuits |
| RθJL | 10 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance, defines temperature rise per watt dissipated into PCB copper |
| trr | 1500 ns - Reverse recovery time under specified test conditions, influences switching loss in hard-commutated topologies |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar standard rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3R08 | Same 3A/800V rating but faster trr (75 ns), higher VF (1.7 V typ), TO-220AC package | Requires heatsink mounting; unsuitable for space-constrained SMB layouts | Prefer when fast recovery is mandatory and board area allows through-hole footprint |
| SB380-E3/5BT | 3A/80V rating only; lower VRRM, same DO-214AA package, VF = 0.85 V max | Limited to low-line AC inputs (<120 VAC) or DC-DC front-ends with clamped inputs | Select only for 80–100 V systems where lower VF justifies reduced voltage margin |
Compared with STTH3R08 and SB380-E3/5BT, the S3KB R5G uniquely balances 800 V blocking capability, SMB surface-mount compatibility, and industry-standard thermal performance-making it optimal for compact, high-input-voltage AC/DC converters where layout density and surge robustness are prioritized over ultrafast switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the S3KB R5G?
The S3KB R5G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet revision M2102. This allows reliable operation in enclosed or high-ambient-temperature environments when thermal design accounts for its 10°C/W junction-to-lead resistance. The S3KB R5G must not exceed this limit during steady-state or transient conditions to ensure long-term reliability.
Does the S3KB R5G have a halogen-free construction?
Yes, the S3KB R5G is halogen-free in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the "Features" section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. Its molding compound contains no chlorine or bromine-based flame retardants, satisfying strict environmental requirements for export to EU, Japan, and other regulated markets. This halogen-free status applies to the S3KB R5G specifically and is confirmed in the official product documentation.
What does the 'R5G' suffix in S3KB R5G indicate?
The 'R5G' suffix in S3KB R5G denotes Taiwan Semiconductor's internal tape-and-reel packaging and marking variant: 'R5' specifies 3,000-piece tape-and-reel packaging per the ordering information table, and 'G' indicates green compound (halogen-free epoxy). This suffix does not affect electrical parameters-the S3KB R5G shares identical VRRM, IF, VF, and trr specifications with other S3KB variants in DO-214AA packaging.
Is the S3KB R5G suitable for use in a PFC boost diode position?
No, the S3KB R5G is not recommended for PFC boost diode applications due to its 1500 ns reverse recovery time and standard recovery characteristics. PFC stages require fast or ultrafast recovery diodes (e.g., <100 ns trr) to minimize switching losses and EMI. The S3KB R5G is optimized for general-purpose rectification in offline SMPS front-ends-not high-frequency, high-dV/dt PFC circuits where the S3KB R5G would generate excessive heat and noise.
How is polarity identified on the S3KB R5G package?
Polarity on the S3KB R5G is indicated by a visible cathode band printed on the DO-214AA (SMB) package body, consistent with JEDEC standard marking conventions. The banded end corresponds to the cathode terminal, while the opposite end is the anode. This marking is clearly shown in the "Marking Diagram" section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet and is machine-readable for automated optical inspection (AOI) and pick-and-place systems.
