Product details
Overview
FR104G-K from Taiwan Semiconductor is a fast recovery rectifier diode with 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1 A average forward current (IF), and 150 ns reverse recovery time (trr) measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A. It features glass passivated junction, low forward voltage (VF ≤ 1.3 V @ 1 A), and DO-204AL (DO-41) package. It is used in switching mode power supplies for efficient AC/DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the FR104G-K datasheet, FR104G-K pinout, FR104G-K application, or FR104G-K equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 400 V, trr = 150 ns, VF ≤ 1.3 V, IFSM = 30 A, and DO-41 mechanical compatibility in compact DC-DC and SMPS designs.
Technical Context
The FR104G-K is a single-die, silicon planar fast recovery rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications. Its 150 ns trr enables reduced switching losses in converters operating above 20 kHz, while its 70 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance supports conduction-limited operation up to 1 A at TA ≤ 75 °C.
Designed with pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing, the device ensures reliable solderability and long-term interconnect integrity. The cathode band marking and UL 94V-0 molding compound meet industrial safety and assembly requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage the device blocks without breakdown; defines usable input voltage range in offline SMPS. |
| IF | 1 A - Continuous average forward current rating at TA = 75 °C; determines output power capability in rectifier stage. |
| trr | 150 ns - Measured under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables efficient operation in 50–200 kHz switch-mode topologies. |
| VF | ≤1.3 V @ 1 A, 25°C - Forward voltage drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in high-duty-cycle applications. |
| IFSM | 30 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current handling; supports inrush current tolerance during power-up in DC-DC inputs. |
| RθJA | 70 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; used to calculate temperature rise under given power dissipation and PCB layout. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-204AL (DO-41), axial leaded, glass-passivated silicon die, cathode indicated by band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to AC input or transformer secondary; must withstand surge currents up to 30 A. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse voltage blocking node | Connected to output filter capacitor; polarity marking critical for correct orientation in PCB layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated junction | Enhances moisture resistance and long-term reliability in humid or thermally cycled environments. |
| Low VF (≤1.3 V) | Reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. standard recovery diodes, improving efficiency in 12–48 V output SMPS. |
| 150 ns trr | Minimizes reverse recovery charge (Qrr), lowering EMI and enabling higher frequency operation without snubber circuits. |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21; eliminates brominated flame retardants and supports green manufacturing requirements. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R04 | VRRM = 400 V, trr = 100 ns, VF = 1.25 V @ 1 A - faster recovery and slightly lower VF. | Optimized for >300 kHz operation; tighter trr distribution supports higher-frequency PFC stages. | Preferred when minimizing Qrr and EMI is critical; requires verification of DO-41 footprint compatibility. |
| 1N4936 | VRRM = 400 V, trr = 500 ns, VF = 1.4 V @ 1 A - slower recovery, higher VF, legacy standard recovery part. | Suitable only for ≤20 kHz applications; higher losses limit use in compact, thermally constrained designs. | Select only for cost-sensitive, low-frequency replacements where trr < 200 ns is not required. |
Compared with STTH1R04 and 1N4936, the FR104G-K delivers balanced performance: faster than 1N4936 for modern SMPS but more cost-effective than STTH1R04, with verified DO-41 fit and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial production.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for FR104G-K?
The FR104G-K has a VRRM of 400 V, meaning it reliably blocks up to 400 V of reverse voltage in repetitive AC or transient conditions. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version B2104) and defines the upper limit for safe operation in bridge or single-diode rectifier configurations.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) condition for FR104G-K?
The FR104G-K reverse recovery time is specified as 150 ns under test conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, per the Electrical Specifications section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This value reflects real-world switching behavior in typical SMPS operating points and is not extrapolated from other variants like FR105G-K.
Is FR104G-K compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the FR104G-K uses pure tin-plated leads qualified per J-STD-002 for solderability and meets JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance. Its DO-41 package is rated for standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak ≤ 260 °C), and the UL 94V-0 molding compound ensures thermal stability during assembly.
Does FR104G-K have a halogen-free construction?
Yes, the FR104G-K is halogen-free in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This applies to both the molding compound and internal materials, supporting environmental compliance for export and industrial end equipment.
What is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of FR104G-K?
The FR104G-K has a typical RθJA of 70 °C/W, measured on a standard JEDEC 2s2p copper pad layout. This value allows engineers to calculate junction temperature rise under actual power dissipation (e.g., 1.3 V × 1 A = 1.3 W → ΔTJ ≈ 91 °C above ambient), confirming safe operation within the −55 °C to +150 °C TJ range.
