B340Q-13-F Schottky Barrier Rectifier | 40V / 3A SMD Replacement for Avalon A850 Control Board Repair
The B340Q-13-F is a 40V / 3A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier used on the Avalon A850 control board for polarity protection, freewheeling, and switching-diode functions on the local low-voltage rails. Silk-screen marking B340 for easy identification on the board.
Why Schottky here: the low 500mV forward voltage drop and fast recovery characteristics keep dissipation and switching losses low on rails carrying up to 3A continuous. A guard-ring mold structure adds transient protection — important on a control board exposed to upstream switching noise from the buck converter and the surrounding PSU primary.
When to Replace the B340Q-13-F
Local rail dead on the Avalon A850 control board — failed Schottky breaking the freewheeling or protection path.
Shorted junction reading on diode-test — absorbed a transient beyond rated voltage.
Visible damage on the SMD package — cracking, blackening, or pad-level burn.
Excessive heat on the diode under load — degraded junction with rising forward drop.
Polarity-protection failure after a wrong-way connection attempt — diode took the hit, replace before re-energising.
Q: How do I identify the B340Q-13-F on the Avalon A850 board? A: Silk-screen marking B340 on the SMD package. The "Q" suffix in the part number indicates the guard-ring construction — same footprint and pinout as plain B340 variants, but with the added transient-protection structure.
Q: How do I test the diode in-circuit? A: Power off, isolated from mains. DMM diode-test mode across the diode leads. Healthy reads ~0.3-0.5V forward (Schottky low Vf), OL reverse. Shorted reads 0Ω both directions. Open reads OL both directions.
Q: Substitute a 60V Schottky for higher safety margin? A: Possible if Vf and package footprint match, but the guard-ring structure of the B340Q-13-F is specifically there to absorb transients on this rail. A plain 60V Schottky without the guard ring may have less robust transient response — match the exact part for the Avalon A850 application.
