Product details
Overview
SF30BG-B from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0A, 100V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) super-fast glass passivated rectifier diode in DO-201AD package, featuring 35ns reverse recovery time (trr), 1.3V forward voltage at 3.0A, and 125A non-repetitive surge rating - used in high-frequency AC/DC front-end rectification for switch-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SF30BG-B datasheet, SF30BG-B pinout, SF30BG-B application, or SF30BG-B equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 100V, trr = 35ns, IO = 3.0A @ TA = 55°C, low leakage (IR = 5.0µA @ 25°C), and DO-201AD thermal resistance (RθJA = 32°C/W).
Technical Context
This super-fast rectifier employs a diffused junction and glass passivated die construction to achieve rapid carrier recombination, enabling efficient operation in 50–100kHz SMPS designs where reverse recovery loss must be minimized. Its 35ns trr and low 75pF capacitance support reduced switching noise and EMI in high-density converters.
The device operates across –65°C to +150°C with cathode-band polarity marking and tin-plated leads compliant with MIL-STD-202 solderability. Derating is required for capacitive loads (–20% current) and ambient temperatures above 55°C per the forward current derating curve.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum peak reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating limit in bridge or single-phase rectifier circuits. |
| IO | 3.0 A @ TA = 55°C - Average rectified output current under specified thermal conditions; requires heatsinking or airflow above 55°C ambient. |
| trr | 35 ns - Reverse recovery time measured at IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, Irr = 0.25A; enables high-frequency switching with low turn-off loss. |
| VF | 1.3 V @ IF = 3.0A - Forward voltage drop determining conduction loss and thermal dissipation in continuous operation. |
| IR | 5.0 µA @ 25°C - Reverse leakage current at rated DC blocking voltage; low value minimizes standby power loss in offline supplies. |
| RθJA | 32 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; defines temperature rise per watt of power dissipation in free-air mounting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-201AD molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), 1.12g weight, cathode band polarity marking, tin-plated leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal during forward conduction | Connected to AC input or transformer secondary; must handle 3.0A average and 125A surge peaks. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal during forward conduction | Marked by band; connects to bulk capacitor or downstream regulator; carries full rectified current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die | Enhances moisture resistance and long-term reliability in humid industrial environments without hermetic sealing. |
| Super-fast switching (35ns trr) | Reduces reverse recovery loss and associated EMI in 50–100kHz SMPS, improving efficiency over standard rectifiers. |
| 125A surge rating (8.3ms) | Withstands inrush currents from cold-started capacitive inputs and transient line surges without failure. |
| Low IR (5.0µA @ 25°C) | Minimizes standby power consumption in energy-sensitive applications such as EPS and IoT power adapters. |
Applications
| AC/DC Adapter Front-End | Industrial SMPS Input Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 50/60Hz or high-frequency AC from transformer secondaries in universal-input wall adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side unidirectional current controller converting AC to pulsating DC prior to filtering. Use Value: 35ns trr and 1.3V VF reduce conduction and switching losses, enabling compact 15–30W adapter designs meeting CoC Tier 2 efficiency. |
Use Scenario: High-reliability rectification in 100–500W industrial switch-mode power supplies with wide ambient temperature range. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main input rectifier in voltage-doubler or full-wave bridge configurations handling continuous 3.0A load. Use Value: Glass passivation and –65°C to +150°C rating ensure stable operation in factory automation equipment exposed to thermal cycling and humidity. |
| LED Driver Bulk Rectification | UPS Input Stage |
Use Scenario: Converting line voltage to DC bus for constant-current LED drivers in outdoor signage and street lighting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage rectifier feeding PFC or buck-boost converter; subjected to frequent on/off cycling. Use Value: 125A surge capability absorbs repeated cold-start surges from large electrolytic banks, extending system lifetime. |
Use Scenario: Input rectification in online/double-conversion UPS systems requiring high availability and fault tolerance. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Critical path component in AC-to-DC conversion stage; failure causes immediate system shutdown. Use Value: Low RθJA (32°C/W) and robust DO-201AD package enable reliable thermal management without forced air in enclosed UPS chassis. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S | VRRM = 600V, trr = 35ns, VF = 1.7V @ 3A - higher voltage rating but higher forward drop. | Used where higher reverse standoff is needed (e.g., 400VDC bus); less efficient at 100V-class designs due to higher VF. | Select when system requires >100V VRRM; avoid if optimizing for low-loss 100V rectification. |
| ES3B | VRRM = 100V, trr = 35ns, VF = 1.25V @ 3A - identical voltage/speed, slightly lower VF, SMC package. | SMC footprint offers better thermal performance than DO-201AD but requires PCB layout change; not drop-in compatible. | Choose for improved thermal design margin if board space allows SMC; verify mechanical fit and solder profile. |
Compared with STTH3L06S and ES3B, SF30BG-B provides optimal balance of 100V VRRM, 35ns speed, and DO-201AD manufacturability - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, high-volume 100V rectifier applications where legacy through-hole assembly is retained.

FAQ
Is SF30BG-B RoHS compliant?
Yes, SF30BG-B features lead-free finish and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU (Revision 13.2.2003), including exemption for high-temperature soldering per EU Annex Notes 5 and 7. Tin-plated leads meet MIL-STD-202 solderability requirements.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for SF30BG-B?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, with storage temperature ranging from –65°C to +150°C. Operation above 55°C ambient requires current derating per Figure 1 in the datasheet, and thermal design must ensure TJ ≤ 150°C under worst-case load and ambient conditions.
Can SF30BG-B replace SF30AG-B in existing designs?
Yes, SF30BG-B is a direct functional replacement for SF30AG-B with identical DO-201AD package, pinout, and thermal characteristics - differing only in VRRM (100V vs. 50V) and corresponding VF (1.3V vs. 0.95V). Verify circuit reverse voltage stress does not exceed 100V before substitution.
Does SF30BG-B support surface-mount assembly?
No - SF30BG-B is supplied in DO-201AD axial-leaded through-hole package and is not designed for SMT reflow. It requires wave soldering or hand-soldering. For SMT alternatives, consider ES3B (SMC) or similar SMD super-fast rectifiers with matching electrical specs.
