Product details
Overview
US3M-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0A, 1000V glass-passivated ultra-fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in SMC package, with VF = 1.5–1.8 V at 3.0 A, trr = 70–85 ns, and TJ(max) = +175°C. It serves as a primary AC/DC input rectifier in high-efficiency offline power supplies and electronic ballasts.
For engineers reviewing the US3M-13 datasheet, US3M-13 pinout, US3M-13 application, or US3M-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse voltage rating (1000 V), ultra-fast recovery time (≤85 ns), thermal resistance (26 °C/W), and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating on SMC terminals.
Technical Context
This device employs a glass-passivated silicon die to achieve stable reverse blocking and low leakage (<10 µA @ 1000 V, 25°C) under high-voltage stress. Its ultra-fast recovery (trr ≤85 ns) minimizes switching losses during high-frequency operation in SMPS front-end stages.
The SMC package provides robust thermal performance (RθJT = 26 °C/W) and mechanical reliability for reflow-soldered PCBs. Polarity is marked by cathode band; terminals are matte tin-plated and solderable per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - Withstands peak reverse voltage in bridge or single-phase rectifier configurations without breakdown |
| IO(AV) | 3.0 A @ TT = +75°C - Continuous DC output current capability under standard thermal mounting conditions |
| VF | 1.5–1.8 V @ IF = 3.0 A - Forward conduction loss directly impacts efficiency and thermal design of rectifier stage |
| trr | 70–85 ns - Enables use in 100 kHz+ switching power supplies with minimal reverse recovery loss |
| IR | ≤10 µA @ VR = 1000 V, TA = 25°C - Low leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance hold-up or standby circuits |
| TJ(max) | +175°C - Supports high-ambient operation in enclosed or thermally constrained power supply enclosures |
| RθJT | 26 °C/W - Junction-to-terminal thermal resistance enables direct heatsinking via PCB copper pads |
Pinout & Package
US3M-13 uses the SMC (DO-214AB) surface-mount package: molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), 0.21 g weight, cathode-marked with band or notch. Terminals are matte tin-plated, lead-free, and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | AC input node (positive half-cycle conduction path) | Connected to transformer secondary or bridge AC input; carries full forward current during conduction |
| Cathode | DC output node (rectified positive rail) | Delivers unidirectional current to bulk capacitor; polarity marked by band on package body |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die construction | Ensures stable reverse characteristics and long-term reliability under thermal cycling and humidity stress |
| Ultra-fast recovery time (trr ≤85 ns) | Reduces switching loss and EMI generation in high-frequency rectification above 50 kHz |
| Maximum junction temperature +175°C | Enables operation in compact, sealed, or high-ambient environments without derating penalties |
| Lead-free, halogen- and antimony-free "Green" finish | Meets RoHS 2 and JEDEC J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements out-of-box |
Applications
| AC/DC Adapter Front-End | LED Driver Ballast |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 50/60 Hz or high-frequency AC from transformer secondary in universal-input wall adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary unidirectional current switch converting AC line to pulsating DC before bulk capacitance. Use Value: 1000 V VRRM supports 265 VAC input with margin; 3.0 A IO handles up to 15 W output with thermal headroom. | Use Scenario: High-efficiency rectification in electronic fluorescent lamp (EFL) or LED driver ballasts operating at 20–100 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-switching output rectifier in resonant or quasi-resonant topologies. Use Value: 70–85 ns trr reduces switching loss and improves power factor correction stability at high frequency. |
| Industrial SMPS Input Stage | UPS Charger Rectifier |
Use Scenario: Input rectification in 24–48 V industrial switch-mode power supplies with wide ambient range. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability main rectifier handling continuous load and surge transients. Use Value: +175°C TJ(max) and 120 A IFSM support operation in unventilated enclosures and withstand 8.3 ms line surges. | Use Scenario: Battery charger input rectifier in online UPS systems requiring high reverse voltage and thermal resilience. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional-blocking element in dual-active-bridge or phase-shifted full-bridge charger front-ends. Use Value: Low IR (<10 µA @ 1000 V) prevents standby power drain; glass passivation ensures long-term leakage stability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S | 600 V VRRM, 3.0 A IO, trr = 45 ns, TO-277 package | Limited to ≤265 VAC input; lower VF (~1.35 V) but reduced voltage margin | Select when lower forward loss is prioritized over 1000 V safety margin |
| ES3J | 600 V VRRM, 3.0 A IO, trr = 35 ns, SMC package, same footprint | Not suitable for 1000 V designs; faster recovery but lower blocking capability | Choose only if system peak reverse voltage remains ≤600 V and speed is critical |
Compared with STTH3L06S and ES3J, US3M-13 uniquely delivers 1000 V blocking with SMC compatibility and +175°C operation-making it the only option among the three qualified for universal-input, high-ambient, or safety-critical 1 kV rectification.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for US3M-13?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +175°C, verified per datasheet Section "Thermal Characteristics." This rating allows uninterrupted operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments up to +125°C when mounted on recommended 0.56" × 0.73" copper pads per AP02001 layout guidelines.
Is US3M-13 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes. US3M-13 features matte tin-plated terminals compliant with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity and qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C). No pre-baking is required prior to assembly.
How does the glass passivation improve reliability compared to epoxy-passivated rectifiers?
Glass passivation forms a hermetic, chemically inert barrier over the silicon die, preventing moisture ingress and ion migration under thermal cycling and high-humidity conditions. This results in <10 µA leakage stability over 10-year field life-unlike epoxy variants prone to parameter drift after 2–3 years in humid environments.
Can US3M-13 replace older US3M devices in existing designs?
Yes. US3M-13 is a direct replacement for legacy US3M variants (e.g., US3M-TP, US3M-G) with identical electrical specs, SMC footprint, and marking code. The "-13" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging (3000 pcs/reel); no circuit or layout changes are needed.
