Product details
Overview
FR101G-K from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 50V fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-204AL (DO-41) package, featuring 1.3V max forward voltage at 1A, 30A surge capability, and 150ns reverse recovery time. It serves as primary output rectification in low-voltage DC-DC converters and switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the FR101G-K datasheet, FR101G-K pinout, FR101G-K application, or FR101G-K equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50V VRRM rating, 150ns trr for high-frequency switching efficiency, glass-passivated junction for reliability, and DO-41 leaded package compatibility with through-hole assembly and thermal derating up to 150°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This single-die, unidirectional fast recovery rectifier uses a glass-passivated PN junction to achieve low VF and stable reverse leakage (<5µA at 25°C). Its 150ns reverse recovery time enables operation in 50–200kHz switching topologies without excessive switching loss.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction range, with 70°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability. Cathode polarity is marked by a visible band on the DO-41 body.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for DC bus or output rail voltage handling |
| IF | 1 A - Continuous average forward current; defines steady-state conduction capacity in power stage design |
| trr | 150 ns - Reverse recovery time at IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, Irr = 0.25A; determines minimum off-time and switching loss in SMPS |
| VF | ≤1.3 V @ 1A, 25°C - Forward voltage drop; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in rectifier path |
| IFSM | 30 A - Non-repetitive surge current (8.3ms half-sine); supports inrush and fault-current robustness |
| TJ max | +150°C - Maximum junction temperature; governs thermal design margin and ambient derating curves |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-204AL (DO-41), axial-leaded, epoxy-molded case with cathode band marking. Lead finish: pure tin, J-STD-002 compliant. Weight: 0.330g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Forward current entry point | Connects to lower-potential node (e.g., transformer secondary center-tap or switch node return) |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connects to output filter capacitor positive rail; polarity must be observed to prevent catastrophic failure |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Low VF (≤1.3V @ 1A) | Reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. standard recovery diodes, improving efficiency in 5–24V output converters |
| 150ns trr | Enables use in higher-frequency flyback and forward converters without added snubbers or efficiency penalty |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Meets IEC 61249-2-21; supports compliance in consumer, industrial, and EU-market power supplies |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R06U | 1A, 600V, TO-220AC package, trr = 50ns, VF = 1.15V @ 1A | Higher VRRM and faster trr; requires PCB footprint change and heatsinking | Preferred for higher-voltage or higher-efficiency designs where layout revision is acceptable |
| 1N4933 | 1A, 100V, DO-41, trr ≈ 200ns, VF = 1.4V @ 1A | Lower VRRM, slower recovery, higher VF; legacy general-purpose part | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-critical 12–24V applications where 150ns timing margin is not required |
Compared with STTH1R06U and 1N4933, the FR101G-K offers optimal balance of 50V rating, 150ns speed, and DO-41 compatibility-making it ideal for space-constrained, low-voltage switching supplies where thermal and layout continuity matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for FR101G-K?
The FR101G-K has a VRRM rating of 50 V, meaning it can safely block up to 50 volts of reverse voltage in repetitive operation. This value is fixed per the part number suffix '1' in FR101G-K and is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding this voltage risks avalanche breakdown and permanent damage to the FR101G-K.
Does FR101G-K have a specified reverse recovery time (trr), and under what test conditions?
Yes, the FR101G-K has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 150 ns, measured under the condition IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This value is explicitly listed in the Electrical Specifications table for FR101G-K and distinguishes it from higher-voltage variants (e.g., FR105G-K = 250 ns). The trr directly affects switching loss in high-frequency converters using the FR101G-K.
Is FR101G-K RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the FR101G-K is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. This is stated in the FEATURES section and verified in the Mechanical Data. The "G" in FR101G-K denotes green compound, confirming halogen-free molding material. These compliance attributes apply specifically to the FR101G-K and are documented in Taiwan Semiconductor's B2104 datasheet revision.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of FR101G-K, and how does it impact board-level design?
The FR101G-K has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 70°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions. This means each watt of power dissipated in the FR101G-K raises its junction temperature by 70°C above ambient. Designers must calculate total power loss (VF × IF + switching loss) and ensure resulting TJ stays ≤150°C-often requiring copper pour or airflow when operating near 1A continuous current.
How is polarity indicated on the FR101G-K package, and why is correct orientation critical?
Polarity of the FR101G-K is indicated by a cathode band printed on the DO-41 body-located at the cathode (output) end. Correct orientation is critical because reverse-biasing beyond VRRM causes immediate avalanche failure. In rectifier applications, misorientation results in short-circuit behavior, overheating, and potential damage to upstream switches or controllers sharing the same FR101G-K circuit node.
