Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Diodes Incorporated documentation to confirm package type and electrical ratings. Ensure compatibility with automated assembly processes due to the SMB/SMA form factor. Confirm RoHS compliance and halogen-free status if required by project specifications. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and supply chain integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3 A Schottky rectifier with 60 V blocking capability is required in an SMA package. Consider the low forward voltage drop for efficiency optimization in low voltage DC-DC converters. Evaluate the thermal performance limits relative to the application's ambient temperature constraints. Verify that the surge current rating meets the circuit's transient requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the B3xx series of surface mount Schottky barrier rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. The series offers various voltage ratings and package options including SMA, SMB, and SMC configurations. These devices are engineered for general purpose rectification and clamping applications where fast switching and low conduction losses are critical. The manufacturing process emphasizes lead-free and environmentally compliant materials.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 3 A 60 V Schottky diodes in the SMA package such as the B360A-13-F or equivalent parts from other manufacturers meeting identical electrical specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution.
