CD214C-B3100R

Overview

The Bourns CD214C-B3100R is a Schottky Barrier Rectifier Chip Diode designed for high-efficiency rectification in compact surface-mount applications. It features a maximum average forward current of 3 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. The device utilizes a DO-214AB (SMC) compatible package with dimensions of 8.0 mm by 5.0 mm. Electrical characteristics include a typical instantaneous forward voltage of 0.78 V at 3 A and a maximum DC reverse current of 0.5 mA. Operating junction temperature ranges from -55 °C to +150 °C, supported by a thermal resistance of 55 °C/W junction-to-ambient.

Feature Summary

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm moisture sensitivity level and ESD classification ratings. Ensure that the procurement specifications align with the required operating temperature range and forward current derating curves for the target application environment. Cross-reference datasheet electrical parameters with actual circuit requirements before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3 A continuous forward current and 100 V reverse blocking capability are required in an SMC-compatible footprint. Evaluate the thermal management strategy based on the specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Confirm that the low forward voltage drop meets the efficiency targets for the specific switching or rectification topology being implemented.

Part Context

This component belongs to the CD214C-B3xR series of Schottky Barrier Rectifiers manufactured by Bourns Inc. The series offers various voltage ratings including 20 V, 40 V, 60 V, and 100 V, all sharing the same 3 A current rating and physical package dimensions. The CD214C-B3100R specifically denotes the 100 V variant within this standardized product line.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include CD214C-B320R, CD214C-B340R, and CD214C-B360R, which share identical current ratings and package footprints but offer lower voltage ratings of 20 V, 40 V, and 60 V respectively.
