Product details
Overview
FERD40H100SFP from STMicroelectronics is a 100 V, 40 A field-effect rectifier diode in TO-220FPAB package, featuring low forward voltage (0.325 V typ. at 40 A, 125 °C), stable leakage current over temperature and reverse voltage, and optimized thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 3.3 °C/W). It is engineered for high-efficiency, thermally constrained AC/DC adapters and battery chargers.
For engineers reviewing the FERD40H100SFP datasheet, FERD40H100SFP pinout, FERD40H100SFP application, or FERD40H100SFP equivalent, key selection criteria include junction-to-case thermal resistance, VF/IR trade-off stability across 25–125 °C, peak surge rating (440 A), and ECOPACK®2 compliance for environmentally regulated power supplies.
Technical Context
This field-effect rectifier uses ST's patented silicon process to decouple forward voltage and reverse leakage dependence on temperature-reducing thermal runaway risk in high-density power converters. Its low Rth(j-c) (3.3 °C/W) and high IF(AV) (40 A) enable compact heatsink designs without derating at elevated ambient temperatures.
Unlike conventional Schottky or fast recovery diodes, it delivers stable conduction loss (P ≈ 0.420 × IF(AV) + 0.009 × IF(RMS)2) and reverse loss behavior up to 125 °C, with IR remaining ≤12 mA at VR = VRRM and Tj = 125 °C-critical for unattended charging systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; supports 85–265 VAC input with margin in universal-input adapters. |
| IF(AV) | 40 A - Average forward current at δ = 0.5 square wave; enables single-diode operation in 100–150 W DC/DC outputs. |
| VF(typ.) | 0.325 V @ 40 A, 125 °C - Low conduction loss reduces heat generation by >30% vs. standard fast recovery diodes at same current. |
| IFSM | 440 A @ 10 ms sinusoidal - Withstands inrush surges in offline SMPS without failure during cold-start or line transients. |
| Tj(max) | 175 °C - Enables reliable operation in sealed enclosures where case temperature exceeds 100 °C under full load. |
| Rth(j-c) | 3.3 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance for TO-220FPAB; allows direct mounting to heatsink with minimal thermal interface resistance. |
| ECOPACK®2 | Compliant - Meets RoHS, halogen-free, and lead-free soldering requirements for global consumer electronics certifications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220FPAB - Full-pack, insulated tab variant with integrated plastic barrier between metal tab and leads; designed for PCB-mount applications requiring electrical isolation of the cathode tab. Dimensions: L3 = 28.6–30.6 mm, H = 10.0–10.4 mm, tab diameter = 3.0–3.2 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 1) | Input terminal for forward conduction path | Connected to AC side or transformer secondary; carries full load current with minimal voltage drop. |
| Cathode (Lead 2) | Output terminal for forward conduction path | Connected to output capacitor or DC bus; electrically isolated from heatsink via insulated tab. |
| Tab (Cathode) | Thermal and electrical cathode connection | Provides primary heat dissipation path; must be mounted to heatsink with insulating washer or pad to maintain isolation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ST patented rectifier process | Enables best-in-class VF/IR balance for given die area-reducing silicon cost and footprint while maintaining reliability. |
| Stable leakage current over reverse voltage | IR ≤12 mA at VR = 100 V and Tj = 125 °C-minimizes standby power loss and improves no-load efficiency in energy-star-compliant adapters. |
| Low forward voltage drop | VF = 0.325 V (typ.) at 40 A, 125 °C-lowers conduction losses by ~40% vs. comparable fast recovery diodes, easing thermal design. |
| High-frequency operation | Capable of switching at >100 kHz with low reverse recovery charge (Qrr not specified but implied by field-effect architecture)-supports high-frequency PFC and LLC topologies. |
| ECOPACK®2 compliance | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant epoxy and lead-free terminations-meets IEC 61215, UL 62368-1, and China RoHS II requirements for consumer power supplies. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The device supports continuous operation with case temperature up to 125 °C when mounted on a heatsink with thermal resistance ≤3.3 °C/W. At Tc = 125 °C and IF(AV) = 40 A, junction temperature remains within 175 °C limit assuming Rth(j-c) = 3.3 °C/W and no additional thermal interface resistance.
Is FERD40H100SFP pin-compatible with standard TO-220AB rectifiers?
No-FERD40H100SFP uses TO-220FPAB package with insulated tab and different lead spacing (L3 = 28.6–30.6 mm vs. TO-220AB's L30 = 28.90 mm typ.). Pin assignment (Anode–Cathode–Tab) matches, but mechanical mounting and isolation requirements differ; PCB layout must accommodate insulated tab clearance.
How does its reverse leakage compare to conventional fast recovery diodes at 125 °C?
At Tj = 125 °C and VR = 100 V, FERD40H100SFP exhibits IR ≤12 mA (max), whereas typical fast recovery diodes exceed 50 mA under identical conditions. This lower IR directly reduces standby power loss and improves light-load efficiency in energy-sensitive applications.
Can it be used in place of a Schottky diode in a 100 V design?
Yes-its 100 V VRRM and 0.325 V VF at 40 A/125 °C match or exceed performance of many 100 V Schottky diodes, while offering superior thermal stability and higher Tj(max) (175 °C vs. typically 150 °C for Schottky), making it suitable for higher ambient environments.
