The MBRS360BT3G is a 3A 60V Schottky rectifier from onsemi in SMA (DO-214AC) package. The Schottky diode uses a metal-semiconductor junction (typically platinum-silicon) instead of a PN junction, resulting in: (1) Lower forward voltage drop: VF = 0.52V at 3A (vs 0.9V for a fast-recovery PN diode), reducing conduction losses; (2) Zero reverse recovery time: since there is no minority carrier storage in a Schottky junction, there is no trr, making it ideal for high-frequency switching. The 60V rating makes it suitable for 12V/24V DC-DC converter output rectification and freewheeling. At 3A load, the conduction loss is 3 x 0.52 = 1.56W, requiring attention to thermal management in the SMA package (80C/W junction-to-ambient). The reverse leakage current is 100uA at 60V at 25C, increasing to 5mA at 125C. This temperature-dependent leakage is a consideration in high-temperature applications where leakage current can contribute significant power loss. The maximum junction temperature is 150C. The SMA package provides a compact footprint compatible with standard surface-mount assembly. The -BT3G suffix specifies SMA, lead-free, tape-and-reel. Applications include: buck converter freewheeling diodes, boost converter output rectifiers, reverse polarity protection, and OR-ing diodes in redundant power supplies.
