Product details
Overview
FR103G-K from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 200V fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-204AL (DO-41) package, featuring 150 ns reverse recovery time, 1.3 V forward voltage at 1 A, and 30 A surge current capability. It serves as a primary output rectifier in low-to-medium voltage DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the FR103G-K datasheet, FR103G-K pinout, FR103G-K application, or FR103G-K equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 200 V, trr = 150 ns, IF = 1 A, thermal resistance RθJA = 70 °C/W, and DO-41 mechanical compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This single-die, glass-passivated fast recovery rectifier operates with junction temperature range –55 °C to +150 °C and supports repetitive peak reverse voltages up to 200 V. Its low 1.3 V forward voltage at 1 A and 10 pF junction capacitance enable high-efficiency switching in 20–100 kHz power stages.
The device exhibits 5 µA max reverse leakage at 25 °C and 100 µA at 125 °C under rated VR, and delivers 30 A non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), making it suitable for transient-heavy input rectification and flyback secondary-side rectification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines usable input/output voltage headroom in 24–48 V systems |
| trr | 150 ns - Fast recovery enables efficient operation in 20–100 kHz SMPS without excessive switching loss or ringing |
| VF | 1.3 V @ 1 A - Low conduction loss reduces heat generation in continuous 1 A output paths |
| IFSM | 30 A - Withstands short-duration inrush and fault currents common in AC-DC front ends and DC-DC startup |
| RθJA | 70 °C/W - Enables natural-convection thermal design in compact DO-41 mounted layouts without heatsinking |
| CJ | 10 pF @ 4 V - Minimizes capacitive coupling and EMI in high-dv/dt switching nodes |
Pinout & Package
DO-204AL (DO-41) axial-leaded package with cathode band marking; leads are pure tin plated, solderable per J-STD-002, and meet JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., transformer secondary center-tap or switch node return) |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail or filter capacitor positive; polarity must be observed to prevent breakdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated junction | Enhances moisture and contamination resistance, improving long-term reliability in humid or industrial environments |
| Low VF (1.3 V) | Reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. standard 1N400x series, directly lowering thermal stress in 1 A continuous designs |
| 150 ns trr | Enables use in higher-frequency topologies than general-purpose rectifiers, reducing output filter size and cost |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 and global environmental directives for industrial and consumer end equipment |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R02U | VRRM = 200 V, trr = 100 ns, VF = 1.15 V @ 1 A, DO-41 package | Lower VF and faster trr improve efficiency in >50 kHz designs but require tighter layout for EMI control | Preferred where peak efficiency >92% is critical and board space allows optimized routing |
| 1N4934G | VRRM = 200 V, trr = 200 ns, VF = 1.4 V @ 1 A, DO-41 package | Slower recovery and higher VF increase conduction and switching loss; wider availability in legacy inventory | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-frequency (<30 kHz) applications where thermal margin is ample |
Compared with STTH1R02U and 1N4934G, FR103G-K offers balanced performance: its 150 ns trr and 1.3 V VF deliver optimal trade-off between efficiency and EMI in mid-frequency SMPS, while maintaining broad DO-41 footprint compatibility and robust surge tolerance.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for FR103G-K?
The FR103G-K has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C and a minimum of –55 °C. This wide operating range allows reliable deployment in industrial environments with ambient temperatures up to +85 °C when derated per the forward current derating curve. The FR103G-K maintains specified electrical performance within this full range, provided thermal design respects RθJA = 70 °C/W.
Does FR103G-K support lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, FR103G-K features pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 for solderability and qualified for lead-free reflow profiles. Its molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and the device is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. No special pre-bake or process adjustments are required for standard Pb-free assembly.
How does the reverse recovery time of FR103G-K compare to standard rectifiers like 1N4007?
FR103G-K has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 150 ns, whereas the 1N4007 exhibits trr > 2000 ns. This ~13× faster recovery significantly reduces switching losses and voltage overshoot in circuits operating above 20 kHz. In practical terms, replacing 1N4007 with FR103G-K in a 60 kHz flyback converter lowers diode dissipation by ~70% and eases EMI filter design.
What is the marking code printed on the FR103G-K body?
The FR103G-K is marked "FR103G" on the device body, followed by a green compound indicator (G), date code (YWW), and factory code (F). The cathode is identified by a distinct band adjacent to the marking. This marking aligns with Taiwan Semiconductor's DO-41 packaging standard and enables visual verification during manual assembly and post-solder inspection.
Can FR103G-K be used in place of FR102G-K or FR104G-K in existing designs?
FR103G-K is not a direct replacement for FR102G-K (100 V) or FR104G-K (400 V) due to its specific 200 V VRRM rating. Substitution requires verifying that peak reverse voltage in the circuit remains ≤200 V with margin. While all share identical DO-41 package, thermal, and surge specs, VRRM mismatch risks premature failure if overstressed - always validate against worst-case transient conditions before interchange.
