Product details
Overview
SBM340-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 3A, 40V surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in the POWERMITE®3 package, featuring low forward voltage (0.46 V at 3 A, 25°C), low thermal resistance (3.4°C/W junction-to-soldering point), and guard ring die construction for transient protection. It is designed for low-voltage, high-frequency inverters, freewheeling diode applications, and polarity protection circuits in DC/DC converters and power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SBM340-13-F datasheet, SBM340-13-F pinout, SBM340-13-F application, or SBM340-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40 V reverse voltage rating, 3 A average forward current capability, 50 A non-repetitive surge current tolerance, thermal performance on GETEK substrates, and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses a guard ring die structure to enhance transient robustness and reduce leakage under high dv/dt conditions. Its low forward voltage drop minimizes conduction losses in high-efficiency 3.3 V–12 V output stages, while its 180 pF junction capacitance supports operation up to several MHz in switching regulator freewheel paths.
The device is rated for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C junction temperature and requires PCB-level thermal management via direct cathode pad connection (Pins 1 & 2 electrically joined on board) and bottom-side heatsinking (Pin 3). Derating curves confirm stable 3 A DC current delivery up to 75°C ambient on optimized substrates.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe blocking range in 12 V–24 V bus polarity protection |
| IO | 3 A - Average rectified output current at TC = 100°C; usable for continuous 2.5 A loads at 85°C ambient with proper layout |
| VFM | 0.46 V @ 3 A, 25°C - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in synchronous-buck catch diode roles |
| RθJS | 3.4 °C/W - Junction-to-soldering-point thermal resistance; enables 1.2 W dissipation with ≤4°C rise above solder point |
| IFSM | 50 A - Non-repetitive surge rating for 8.3 ms half-sine; withstands typical switch-mode power supply turn-on transients |
| CT | 180 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - Low junction capacitance reduces switching loss and EMI in high-frequency (>100 kHz) topologies |
Pinout & Package
Package: POWERMITE®3 - Molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), 0.072 g mass, moisture sensitivity Level 1, lead-free matte tin plating, bottom-side heatsink terminal (Pin 3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Main anode connection; must be electrically tied to Pin 2 on PCB per datasheet requirement |
| Pin 2 | Anode (redundant) | Second anode terminal; mandatory PCB short to Pin 1 for rated current and thermal path integrity |
| Pin 3 | Cathode / Heatsink | Primary cathode output and thermal interface; soldered directly to copper pour for junction cooling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Improves ESD and dv/dt immunity without increasing leakage; validated per JEDEC A114-B for transient robustness |
| Low VFM (0.46 V @ 3 A) | Reduces forward power loss by ≥35% vs. standard silicon rectifiers; critical for thermally constrained DC/DC modules |
| Bottom-side heatsink (Pin 3) | Enables direct thermal coupling to PCB ground plane; achieves RθJS = 3.4°C/W without external heatsink |
| RoHS-compliant matte tin finish | Ensures reliable solderability and intermetallic formation with SnAgCu reflow profiles; meets IPC-J-STD-006B |
Applications
| DC/DC Converter Freewheel Diode | 12 V Automotive Polarity Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used as catch diode in non-synchronous buck converters delivering 3.3 V/5 V from 12 V input. IC Role / Device Role: Freewheeling path for inductor current during high-side FET off-time; handles 3 A continuous reverse recovery–free conduction. Use Value: 0.46 V forward drop limits power loss to <1.4 W, enabling compact 0.5" × 0.5" layout without forced air cooling. | Use Scenario: Installed in series with battery feed to protect infotainment ECUs against reverse battery connection. IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional blocking element; clamps reverse voltage to <0.5 V while passing 3 A forward load current. Use Value: 40 V VRRM exceeds automotive load dump spikes (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a); guard ring prevents latch-up during jump-start transients. |
| High-Frequency Inverter Output | Industrial PLC Power Input Stage |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in 200 kHz resonant LLC inverters powering LED drivers. IC Role / Device Role: High-speed unidirectional current path; operates with minimal stored charge due to Schottky physics. Use Value: 180 pF capacitance and zero reverse recovery time eliminate switching tail loss, improving system efficiency by 1.2% at full load. | Use Scenario: Input polarity guard and EMI filter clamp in 24 V DC-powered programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role: Dual-function component: blocks reverse polarity and absorbs line transients via guard ring structure. Use Value: Rated for –55°C to +125°C operation; maintains <20 µA IR at 100°C, ensuring reliability in enclosed control cabinets. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDS340-13-F | Direct replacement per Diodes Inc. obsolescence notice; identical POWERMITE®3 package, same 40 V/3 A ratings, improved IR spec (max 10 µA @ 25°C) | Drop-in compatible; no layout or thermal redesign needed; supports same freewheeling and polarity protection use cases | Select when new design or BOM refresh allows migration from obsolete SBM340; ensures long-term supply continuity |
| SS34H-TP | Different package (DO-214AC/SMA); 40 V/3 A rating but higher VFM (0.55 V typ @ 3 A) and RθJA ≈ 50°C/W (vs. 3.4°C/W RθJS) | Limited to lower-power or naturally cooled applications; unsuitable for high-density thermal designs requiring bottom-side heatsinking | Acceptable only if PCB layout cannot accommodate POWERMITE®3 footprint and thermal constraints are relaxed |
Compared with SBM340-13-F, PDS340-13-F offers identical form-fit-function with tighter leakage control, while SS34H-TP trades thermal performance and package compatibility for broader distributor availability in legacy SMA formats.

FAQ
Is SBM340-13-F still in production?
No - Diodes Incorporated officially discontinued SBM340-13-F and recommends PDS340-13-F as its direct replacement. Aetrix Electronics holds limited legacy stock for last-time buy and repair scenarios, with full traceability and date-code verification.
Why must Pins 1 and 2 be connected on the PCB?
Pins 1 and 2 are both anode terminals internally tied within the POWERMITE®3 package. The datasheet mandates external PCB connection to ensure current sharing and prevent localized overheating or bond-wire fusing under 3 A continuous load.
Can SBM340-13-F replace a standard PN-junction rectifier in a 24 V supply?
Yes - its 40 V VRRM and 3 A IO rating suit 24 V systems, but its Schottky advantages (zero reverse recovery, 0.46 V VFM) deliver measurable efficiency gains over PN rectifiers, especially above 50 kHz switching frequencies.
What is the role of Pin 3 beyond cathode connection?
Pin 3 serves as both the cathode electrical terminal and the primary thermal interface. Its exposed copper pad must be soldered to a large PCB copper area to realize the specified 3.4°C/W RθJS; omitting this compromises current rating and long-term reliability.
