Product details
Overview
AR1FD-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount fast avalanche rectifier in SMF (DO-219AB) package, rated for 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 140 ns reverse recovery time (trr). It features glass-passivated junction, AEC-Q101 qualification, and low 1.25 V forward voltage at 1.0 A and 25 °C - optimized for automotive freewheeling and high-frequency DC/DC converter output rectification.
For engineers reviewing the AR1FD-M3/H datasheet, AR1FD-M3/H pinout, AR1FD-M3/H application, or AR1FD-M3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy rating, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and compatibility with wave/reflow soldering per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-diode, unidirectional avalanche-rated rectifier with cathode marked by color band. Its fast switching (trr = 140 ns) and low IR (1 μA @ 25 °C) support high-efficiency power conversion in constrained thermal environments.
The SMF package delivers low thermal resistance (RθJA = 130 °C/W, RθJM = 20 °C/W) and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability. Matte tin-plated leads pass JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing and support automated placement on PCBs with recommended 2 oz. copper pad area.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage before avalanche conduction begins |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A - continuous average forward current under specified thermal conditions (TA = 25 °C, 2 oz. pad) |
| trr | 140 ns - time to recover from reverse conduction, critical for minimizing switching losses in 100–500 kHz converters |
| VF @ IF = 1 A, 25 °C | 1.25 V - forward voltage drop determining conduction loss and thermal load at nominal operating point |
| EAS | 20 mJ - non-repetitive avalanche energy handling capability, enabling robustness against inductive turn-off transients |
| TJ(max) | 175 °C - maximum allowable junction temperature, supporting operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| CJ @ 4 V, 1 MHz | 12.6 pF - junction capacitance influencing high-frequency noise and EMI behavior in snubberless designs |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMF (DO-219AB), low-profile surface-mount case with cathode indicated by color band; compatible with SOD-123W footprint but dimensionally distinct (3.9 mm × 1.9 mm × 1.08 mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry terminal | Connected to source-side of inductive load or transformer secondary; must withstand IFSM = 30 A surge |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked with color band; connects to output rail or ground return; carries full load current and absorbs avalanche energy |
Key Features

| Glass passivated junction | Ensures long-term reliability and stable leakage current (IR) across -55 °C to +175 °C operating range |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Enables standard reflow assembly without baking or special handling prior to mounting |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | Meets global environmental compliance requirements for industrial and automotive end equipment |
| Wave and reflow solderable | Compatible with both selective wave and Pb-free reflow profiles per J-STD-020 |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial DC/DC Converter Output Stage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast avalanche rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L06S | 600 V VRRM, 1.05 V VF @ 1 A, 75 ns trr, TO-277 package (larger footprint) | Higher voltage rating suits 48 V bus systems; faster trr reduces switching loss but increases EMI risk | Prefer when higher VRRM margin or lower VF at elevated temperature is required; verify PCB layout change for TO-277 |
| ON Semiconductor NRVB120 | 200 V VRRM, 1.1 V VF @ 1 A, 150 ns trr, SOD-123FL package, not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lower VF improves efficiency at high ambient; lacks automotive qualification and lower EAS (15 mJ) | Acceptable for consumer-grade power supplies where AEC-Q101 and 20 mJ EAS are not mandated |
Compared with STTH1L06S and NRVB120, AR1FD-M3/H uniquely balances 200 V rating, AEC-Q101 compliance, 20 mJ avalanche robustness, and DO-219AB footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial converters requiring proven transient resilience without layout redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for AR1FD-M3/H?
The AR1FD-M3/H has a maximum junction temperature (TJ(max)) of +175 °C, enabling reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial power supplies. This rating is validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing and supported by its 20 °C/W junction-to-mount thermal resistance. The AR1FD-M3/H must be mounted on a PCB with recommended 2 oz. copper pad area to achieve thermal performance consistent with datasheet derating curves.
Is AR1FD-M3/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, AR1FD-M3/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's official documentation and ordering code suffix "HM3" (base P/NHM3). The "M3/H" suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with MSL Level 1 rating and matte tin-plated leads passing JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing - all required for automotive power semiconductor qualification. AR1FD-M3/H is intended for use in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS power stages.
What does the "M3/H" suffix mean in AR1FD-M3/H?
The "M3" suffix indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction meeting Vishay's material categorization per doc#99912; "H" specifies packaging in 7-inch plastic tape and reel with 3000 units per reel. The AR1FD-M3/H is identical in electrical and thermal specifications to AR1FDHM3/H but uses the industry-standard "M3/H" ordering convention rather than the automotive-specific "HM3/H" prefix. Both share identical SMF (DO-219AB) package and AEC-Q101 qualification.
How does AR1FD-M3/H compare to standard fast recovery diodes in terms of avalanche capability?
Unlike standard fast recovery diodes, AR1FD-M3/H is specifically characterized for non-repetitive avalanche energy (EAS = 20 mJ at IAS = 1.0 A), allowing it to safely absorb inductive turn-off transients without failure. This is verified per AEC-Q101 test condition E2, distinguishing AR1FD-M3/H from generic FRDs that lack defined avalanche ratings. Its controlled avalanche behavior makes AR1FD-M3/H suitable for freewheeling and clamp roles where voltage spikes exceed VRRM.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of AR1FD-M3/H and how is it measured?
The AR1FD-M3/H has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 140 ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A per JEDEC standards. This value reflects the time required for minority carriers to clear after forward conduction ceases, directly impacting switching loss in high-frequency converters. The AR1FD-M3/H's trr is stable across temperature and supports efficient operation up to 500 kHz in hard-switched topologies.
