SB320-T

Single Diodes Overview

The SB320-T is a 3.0A Schottky Barrier Rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, designed for low voltage and high frequency applications. It features a DO-201AD axial leaded package with a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 20V and an average rectified output current of 3.0A. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage of 0.50V at 3.0A and supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 80A. Operating temperature ranges from -65°C to +125°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Guard ring die construction provides transient protection against electrical stress.
• Low power loss and high efficiency characteristics optimize energy performance.
• High surge capability ensures reliability during overload conditions.

Single Diodes Applications

• Low voltage, high frequency inverters
• Free wheeling diode circuits
• Polarity protection applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '-T' corresponds to the tape and reel packaging configuration rather than bulk packaging. Confirm RoHS compliance status and date code markings match project requirements. Ensure the component meets the specified thermal resistance parameters for the intended PCB mounting orientation.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20V blocking voltage and 3.0A continuous current rating are required in an axial package. Consider the low forward voltage drop for improved system efficiency. Evaluate the thermal resistance values against the expected ambient temperature and heat dissipation capabilities of the target circuit board layout.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the SB320-SB360 series of Schottky barrier rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. The series shares identical physical dimensions and thermal characteristics, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive reverse voltage ratings. The SB320 variant specifically targets applications requiring a 20V breakdown threshold.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Substitutes must maintain the 3.0A current rating, 20V reverse voltage, and DO-201AD package type. Verify that alternative components offer comparable forward voltage drops and surge current capabilities to ensure circuit compatibility without derating adjustments.
