The low 0.5V typical forward voltage at 3A significantly reduces conduction losses compared to silicon PN diodes, making it ideal for high-efficiency DC-DC converter freewheeling and output rectification. The 40V reverse voltage rating suits 5V and 12V power rails. A guard ring structure provides ruggedness against voltage transients. The SMA package provides reliable solder joints with minimal board space.","working_principle":"The B340A-13-F is a metal-semiconductor (Schottky) junction diode. Unlike a PN junction diode, a Schottky diode uses a metal contact on an N-type semiconductor, forming a barrier that conducts with lower forward voltage (0.5V vs 0.7V for silicon). The majority-carrier conduction mechanism eliminates stored charge, enabling fast switching with essentially zero reverse recovery time. This is critical for DC-DC converter freewheeling applications where the diode must transition from conducting to blocking very rapidly. The guard ring around the active area provides a PN junction that protects the Schottky contact from voltage transients and excessive reverse leakage.","pin_description":"<table><tr><th>Pin<\/th><th>Name<\/th><th>Type<\/th><th>Function<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>1<\/td><td>Cathode<\/td><td>Power<\/td><td>Cathode (band marking side)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td>Anode<\/td><td>Power<\/td><td>Anode<\/td><\/tr><\/table>","application_scenarios":"<ul><li>Buck converter freewheeling (catch) diode<\/li><li>Reverse battery polarity protection for 5V\/12V rails<\/li><li>Power supply output Schottky rectification<\/li><li>Battery charging steering diode<\/li><li>Redundant power supply OR-ing diode<\/li><\/ul>","alternative_models":"<table><tr><th>Manufacturer<\/th><th>Part Number<\/th><th>Package<\/th><th>Notes<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>ST<\/td><td>STPS3L40U<\/td><td>SMA<\/td><td>3A 40V Schottky, equivalent<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>onsemi<\/td><td>MBR340<\/td><td>SMA<\/td><td>3A 40V Schottky rectifier<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Vishay<\/td><td>SS34-E3\/9AT<\/td><td>SMA<\/td><td>3A 40V Schottky, similar<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Diodes Inc<\/td><td>B340LB-13-F<\/td><td>SMB<\/td><td>3A 40V, SMB package variant<\/td><\/tr><\/table>"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2746"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2746\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2756"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2746"},{"taxonomy":"chip_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chip_brand?post=2746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
