MBRS340T3G
Overview
The MBRS340T3G is a surface-mount Schottky power rectifier designed for use in low-voltage, high-frequency rectification applications. Housed in a compact SMC package, it handles up to 3 A of average rectified current with a maximum reverse voltage of 40 V. It features a guard-ring for stress protection and is characterized by a very low forward voltage drop of 0.5 V at its rated current.
Why Choose This Part
The component offers an excellent balance of thermal stability and high-speed switching performance with a 150 degree Celsius maximum junction temperature. Its SMC package with J-bend leads is optimized for automated assembly and provides high resistance to reverse avalanche energy transients. Furthermore, it is rated for high ESD robustness and passes ISO 7637 Pulse #1, making it a reliable choice for rugged power environments.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
When integrating this diode, ensure the PCB thermal pads are sized according to the SMC package footprint to manage heat dissipation at the 3 A limit. Engineers should verify the 2 mA reverse leakage current at 40 V is acceptable for low-power standby modes in battery-operated designs. No specific firmware or software toolchain is required as this is a passive discrete semiconductor.
