Product details
Overview
FR104GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 400V 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 AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the FR104GH datasheet, FR104GH pinout, FR104GH application, or FR104GH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 30 A surge current capability, junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 70 °C/W, and compliance with RoHS and halogen-free standards per IEC 61249-2-21.
Technical Context
This single-die, glass-passivated fast recovery rectifier supports high-efficiency switching in DC-DC converters and SMPS by minimizing reverse recovery loss. Its 150 ns trr and low VF reduce conduction and switching losses under 1 A continuous forward current.
The device operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range, with 5 µA max reverse leakage at 25 °C and 100 µA at 125 °C, enabling stable performance in thermally demanding automotive and industrial 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R04 | Same 1 A / 400 V rating; trr = 100 ns (faster), VF = 1.25 V; TO-220AC package | Requires PCB layout change; better suited for higher-power heatsinked designs | Select when lower trr and VF justify SMT or TO-220 thermal management |
| ON Semi MUR1040 | 1 A / 400 V; trr = 50 ns; VF = 1.25 V; DO-41 package; AEC-Q101 not specified | No automotive qualification; tighter trr spec but unverified for harsh-environment use | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial SMPS where AEC-Q101 is not required |
Compared with STTH1R04 and MUR1040, FR104GH uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, DO-41 through-hole compatibility, and 150 ns trr-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive modules needing proven reliability without redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for FR104GH?
The FR104GH has a VRRM rating of 400 V, meaning it can reliably block up to 400 V of reverse voltage in repetitive operation without breakdown. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version H2104) and aligns with the "104" in the part number indicating 400 V. Exceeding this voltage risks irreversible junction failure.
Is FR104GH AEC-Q101 qualified, and what does that mean for design use?
Yes, FR104GH is AEC-Q101 qualified, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section and ordering code suffix "H". This certification validates its reliability under automotive-grade stress tests-including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock-making it suitable for under-hood and safety-critical power circuits where field failure is unacceptable.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of FR104GH, and how does it affect switching performance?
The FR104GH has a reverse recovery time of 150 ns under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A conditions. This fast trr minimizes switching loss and EMI generation in high-frequency converters (e.g., >200 kHz), directly improving efficiency and thermal performance compared to general-purpose rectifiers like 1N4007 (trr > 2 µs).
Does FR104GH have RoHS and halogen-free compliance, and where is this documented?
Yes, FR104GH is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as stated in the FEATURES section of the official datasheet. The "G" suffix denotes green compound, and the halogen-free status is verified via material declarations supporting environmental compliance for global electronics manufacturing.
What package type and lead finish does FR104GH use, and why does it matter for assembly?
FR104GH uses the DO-204AL (DO-41) axial package with pure tin-plated leads, solderable per J-STD-002. This ensures compatibility with standard wave and hand-soldering processes, eliminates lead-free assembly concerns, and meets JEDEC whisker resistance (Class 2), critical for long-life industrial and automotive PCBs exposed to thermal cycling.
