Product details
Overview
SBR3A40SA-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0A, 40V Super Barrier Rectifier in SMA package, featuring 500mV max forward voltage at 3A and 400µA max reverse leakage at 40V/25°C. It delivers soft, fast switching with 12ns reverse recovery time and operates up to +150°C junction temperature, optimized for high-efficiency secondary-side rectification in AC-DC and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SBR3A40SA-13 datasheet, SBR3A40SA-13 pinout, SBR3A40SA-13 application, or SBR3A40SA-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include low VF at high current, minimal IR across temperature, robust surge capability (45A IFSM), and AEC-Q101 qualification availability via the SBR3A40SAQ-13 variant.
Technical Context
This discrete Schottky-like rectifier uses Diodes Inc.'s patented SBR® technology to achieve lower forward voltage than standard Schottkys while maintaining significantly lower reverse leakage than conventional PN diodes. Its 12ns tRR and soft recovery waveform reduce EMI in high-frequency switching topologies.
The device is rated for 3A average forward current with thermal resistance RθJA = 124°C/W on FR-4 PCB (2oz Cu), and supports derated operation up to +150°C ambient when mounted per recommended pad layout. Junction capacitance is 130pF at 4V reverse bias.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super barrier rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SBRT3A40S-13 | Same VRRM/IO, but 550mV VF(max) at 3A; 500µA IR at 40V/25°C; no AEC-Q101 variant available | Lacks automotive qualification path; slightly higher conduction loss and leakage | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for lowest VF or automotive compliance |
| SS34-HF | 3A/40V Schottky; 550mV VF(max); 500µA IR at 25°C but >10× higher IR at 125°C; RθJA = 130°C/W | Higher thermal resistance and temperature-dependent leakage limit high-temp reliability | Acceptable for consumer-grade, low-ambient applications where cost is primary driver |
Compared with SBRT3A40S-13 and SS34-HF, the SBR3A40SA-13 offers the lowest VF at full load, best high-temperature leakage performance, and a qualified automotive variant-making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-reliability, or automotive-adjacent designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation?
The SBR3A40SA-13 is rated for continuous operation up to +150°C junction temperature. Derating begins above +25°C ambient per Fig. 5, with full 3A current supported up to +75°C ambient on a standard FR-4 PCB with 2oz copper and recommended pad layout.
Is the SBR3A40SA-13 suitable for automotive applications?
The base SBR3A40SA-13 is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the pin- and form-compatible SBR3A40SAQ-13 variant is fully qualified, PPAP-capable, and manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities-making it suitable for automotive body electronics and infotainment power supplies.
How does the SBR3A40SA-13 compare to standard Schottky diodes in EMI performance?
Its patented SBR® structure provides softer reverse recovery than standard Schottkys, resulting in lower di/dt-induced voltage spikes and reduced high-frequency EMI. Measured tRR is 12ns with controlled tail current, enabling cleaner switching waveforms without added snubbers in 100–500kHz converters.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for optimal thermal performance?
Diodes specifies a minimum pad layout per their SMA outline: 4.00mm × 1.70mm cathode pad with 2.50mm × 6.50mm thermal relief extension. Use 2oz copper on FR-4; thermal vias under the cathode pad improve RθJA by up to 30%, supporting higher sustained current in compact layouts.
