Product details
Overview
SB3100-T from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0A, 100V Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-201AD package, featuring 0.79V forward voltage at 3.0A, 100A non-repetitive surge capability, and 250pF junction capacitance. It serves as a low-loss freewheeling or polarity protection diode in DC-DC converters and automotive power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SB3100-T datasheet, SB3100-T pinout, SB3100-T application, or SB3100-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100V VRRM rating, thermal resistance of 20K/W, RoHS-compliant tin-plated terminals, and suitability for high-frequency switching up to 1MHz with minimal conduction loss.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses guard ring die construction to enhance transient robustness and suppress leakage under high reverse bias. Its low forward voltage drop and fast recovery (inherent to Schottky architecture) minimize power dissipation in high-current, low-voltage output stages.
The device operates across –65°C to +150°C junction temperature range and exhibits stable reverse current up to 20mA at 100°C, supporting reliable performance in under-hood automotive environments and industrial power modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in polarity protection and flyback clamp circuits. |
| IF(AV) | 3.0 A - Average forward current at TL = +80°C; supports continuous 3A load in compact PCB layouts with adequate heatsinking. |
| VFM | 0.79 V @ 3.0A - Low conduction loss reduces heat generation and improves efficiency in 5–12V DC-DC outputs. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Peak surge rating for 8.3ms half-sine; withstands inrush and fault currents in motor drive and battery input stages. |
| CJ | 250 pF @ 4V, 1MHz - Junction capacitance impacts high-frequency switching noise and EMI filtering requirements. |
| RθJA | 20 K/W - Thermal resistance from junction to ambient; enables ~1.5W power dissipation at +80°C ambient without forced cooling. |
Pinout & Package
DO-201AD molded plastic package with axial leads, cathode band marking, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and 1.1g mass. Moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground return or switch node) in freewheeling paths. |
| Cathode | Current exit point during forward conduction; marked with band | Connected to higher-potential rail (e.g., input supply or inductor output) to enable unidirectional current flow. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Improves transient immunity and prevents edge breakdown under voltage stress, extending reliability in noisy automotive environments. |
| Low forward voltage (0.79V) | Reduces conduction loss by >30% vs. comparable silicon rectifiers, lowering thermal load in space-constrained designs. |
| 100A surge rating | Supports robust operation during cold-crank events and load dump transients without derating in 12V systems. |
| RoHS-compliant tin finish | Ensures solderability per MIL-STD-202 Method 208 and compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS310H from Diodes Inc. | Same 100V VRRM and 3A rating, but SMC (DO-214AB) package; 0.85V VF at 3A. | Surface-mount footprint replaces through-hole DO-201AD; requires PCB redesign. | Select when automated assembly and board space reduction outweigh manual insertion cost. |
| SB3100-E3/54 from Vishay | Identical electrical specs and DO-201AD package; RoHS-compliant, same 0.79V VF and 100A IFSM. | Drop-in replacement with identical mechanical and thermal behavior; qualified to AEC-Q101. | Choose for dual-sourcing or automotive PPAP programs requiring alternate qualified suppliers. |
Compared with SS310H and SB3100-E3/54, the SB3100-T offers identical performance in through-hole form factor with optimized thermal resistance for hand-soldered prototypes and legacy industrial assemblies, while SB3100-E3/54 adds AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive production use.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for SB3100-T?
The SB3100-T has a specified operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. This allows uninterrupted operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings, provided thermal design maintains TJ ≤ 150°C under worst-case power dissipation and ambient conditions.
Is SB3100-T suitable for use in AEC-Q101 qualified designs?
The SB3100-T itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified per Diodes' documentation; however, the functionally identical SB3100-E3/54 from Vishay is AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive production, engineers should verify qualification status with Diodes or select an AEC-Q101-certified alternative.
How does the DO-201AD package affect thermal performance?
The DO-201AD package delivers a typical RθJA of 20K/W, enabling ~1.5W power dissipation at +80°C ambient without heatsinking. Its axial-leaded form provides mechanical stability and ease of manual soldering, though thermal performance is inferior to surface-mount packages like SMC under forced-air cooling.
Can SB3100-T replace SB380-T in existing designs?
Yes, SB3100-T can replace SB380-T where higher reverse voltage margin is required: both share identical 3.0A current rating, DO-201AD package, and thermal characteristics, but SB3100-T offers 100V VRRM versus SB380-T's 80V, improving safety margin in 48V systems and load-dump scenarios.
