Product details
Overview
VS-MBRS340TRPBF from Vishay is a surface-mount Schottky rectifier rated for 3.0 A average forward current and 40 V maximum reverse voltage, featuring a low 0.43 V forward voltage drop at 3.0 A and 125 °C, housed in an SMC (DO-214AB) package. It serves as a freewheeling or reverse-battery protection diode in compact DC/DC converters and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the VS-MBRS340TRPBF datasheet, VS-MBRS340TRPBF pinout, VS-MBRS340TRPBF application, or VS-MBRS340TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, 1580 A non-repetitive surge rating, 230 pF junction capacitance, and RoHS-compliant lead-free construction.
Technical Context
The VS-MBRS340TRPBF operates as a single-anode–single-cathode unidirectional power rectifier with guard-ring-enhanced ruggedness. Its Schottky barrier structure enables high-frequency switching with minimal reverse recovery charge and thermal resistance of 12 °C/W (junction-to-lead).
Designed for industrial-level reliability, it supports continuous operation from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature and withstands 10,000 V/μs voltage transients. The device meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 and is qualified for use without floor-life restrictions under reflow peak temperatures up to 260 °C.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MBR340FS | Same SMC package, identical 3 A / 40 V ratings, but VF = 0.55 V @ 3 A, 25 °C (higher conduction loss) | Suitable where ambient temperature stays below 85 °C; less margin for thermal derating in sealed enclosures | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal performance; verify layout cooling for >100 °C operation |
| Diodes Incorporated SB340-E3/52 | SMC package, 3 A / 40 V, VF = 0.52 V @ 3 A, 25 °C; RthJA = 50 °C/W (vs. 46 °C/W for VS-MBRS340TRPBF) | Marginally higher thermal resistance limits power density in high-ambient designs | Prefer for legacy BOM continuity; confirm thermal simulation matches VS-MBRS340TRPBF's 12 °C/W RthJL path |
Compared with MBR340FS and SB340-E3/52, the VS-MBRS340TRPBF delivers the lowest VF at elevated temperature and best junction-to-lead thermal resistance, making it optimal for thermally constrained industrial and automotive-adjacent applications where sustained 125 °C operation is required.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for VS-MBRS340TRPBF?
The VS-MBRS340TRPBF has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150 °C, with operational capability down to –55 °C. This wide range supports deployment in demanding industrial environments such as factory automation controllers and outdoor power converters where ambient temperatures exceed 85 °C. Thermal design must respect the 12 °C/W RthJL limit to avoid exceeding TJ under full load.
Is VS-MBRS340TRPBF suitable for high-frequency switching applications?
Yes, the VS-MBRS340TRPBF is optimized for high-frequency operation due to its Schottky barrier construction, which eliminates minority-carrier storage delay. With only 230 pF junction capacitance at 5 V and no reverse recovery time (trr ≈ 0 ns), it minimizes switching losses and EMI in converters operating above 100 kHz - including resonant LLC and advanced PFC stages where fast turn-off is critical.
Does VS-MBRS340TRPBF require special handling during PCB assembly?
No special handling is required: VS-MBRS340TRPBF is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and qualified for peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. It may be processed using standard lead-free reflow profiles without baking, dry packing, or humidity-controlled storage - simplifying SMT line logistics and reducing manufacturing overhead for high-volume industrial production.
What does the "TRPBF" suffix indicate in VS-MBRS340TRPBF?
The "TRPBF" suffix in VS-MBRS340TRPBF denotes tape-and-reel packaging (TR) and lead-free (PbF) construction. "TR" specifies 3000 pieces per reel, compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment; "PBF" confirms compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and absence of lead in solderable terminations and internal materials.
How does the guard ring in VS-MBRS340TRPBF improve reliability?
The guard ring in VS-MBRS340TRPBF mitigates edge breakdown under high-voltage transients and enhances avalanche energy tolerance (EAS = 6 mJ). It prevents localized electric field concentration at the silicon periphery, thereby extending device lifetime in applications subject to repetitive surge events - such as motor drive freewheeling paths or automotive load-dump protection circuits where voltage spikes exceed rated VR.
