Product details
Overview
FR153G-T from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1.5A, 200V fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-204AC (DO-15) package, featuring 150 ns reverse recovery time, 1.3 V max forward voltage at 1.5 A, and 50 A surge capability - used in switching-mode power supplies for efficient AC/DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the FR153G-T datasheet, FR153G-T pinout, FR153G-T application, or FR153G-T equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (200 V), thermal resistance (60 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), cathode-band polarity marking, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial power designs.
Technical Context
This single-die fast recovery rectifier uses glass-passivated junction technology to achieve low forward voltage drop and high surge current tolerance. Its 150 ns trr enables efficient operation in high-frequency switching converters up to several hundred kHz.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, with 5 µA max reverse leakage at 25°C and 100 µA at 125°C, and exhibits 20 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz and 4 V reverse bias - critical for EMI control and dynamic response.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown |
| IF | 1.5 A - continuous average forward current rating at TA = 75°C |
| trr | 150 ns - reverse recovery time under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables high-frequency SMPS operation |
| VF (max) | 1.3 V - forward voltage drop at 1.5 A and 25°C; determines conduction loss and thermal load |
| IFSM | 50 A - non-repetitive surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine); supports inrush and transient overload |
| RθJA | 60 °C/W - junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in free air; defines heatsinking requirements |
| IR (max) | 5 µA @ 25°C - reverse leakage current at rated VR; impacts standby power and high-impedance circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L06U | 1 A, 600 V, 75 ns trr, SOD-123FL package - higher VRRM but lower IF and faster recovery | Suitable for lower-current, higher-voltage auxiliary rails where space is constrained | Select when board space is limited and 600 V blocking is required; not interchangeable due to lower current rating and different package |
| ON Semi MUR120 | 1 A, 200 V, 75 ns trr, DO-41 package - identical VRRM but 1 A IF and faster trr than FR153G-T | Better for ultra-fast switching (<100 ns needed) at reduced current; DO-41 has larger footprint than DO-15 | Choose for designs prioritizing speed over current; requires layout change due to DO-41 lead spacing and body size |
Compared with STTH1L06U and MUR120, the FR153G-T offers higher average current (1.5 A vs. 1 A), DO-15 compatibility with legacy footprints, and balanced trr/VF trade-off - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, medium-power industrial SMPS where thermal margin and manufacturability matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the FR153G-T?
The FR153G-T has a maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) of +150°C and a minimum of –55°C. This wide operating range allows reliable use in industrial environments with elevated ambient temperatures. Derating curves in the datasheet specify that average forward current must be reduced above 75°C ambient. The FR153G-T maintains specified electrical parameters within this full TJ range when mounted per recommended PCB pad layout.
Does the FR153G-T have a cathode band marking, and how is polarity identified?
Yes, the FR153G-T uses a visible cathode band on the body to indicate polarity - the banded end is the cathode terminal. This marking aligns with industry-standard DO-15 orientation and ensures correct placement during automated assembly. The anode is the unmarked lead. Polarity verification is critical because reverse connection causes immediate conduction failure in rectifier applications. The FR153G-T's band conforms to JEDEC DO-204AC mechanical drawings.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for the FR153G-T, and under what test conditions is it measured?
The FR153G-T has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 150 ns, measured under standardized conditions: IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, per Figure 6 in the TSC datasheet. This value reflects performance in typical switching converter waveforms and distinguishes FR153G-T from slower general-purpose rectifiers. The FR153G-T's trr remains stable across its rated temperature range, supporting consistent timing in high-frequency designs.
Is the FR153G-T compliant with RoHS and halogen-free standards?
Yes, the FR153G-T is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants, and the pure tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements. These attributes make the FR153G-T suitable for export to EU, Japan, and other regulated markets. Compliance documentation is available upon request for the FR153G-T through Aetrix Electronics' quality portal.
How does the FR153G-T compare to the FR152G-T and FR154G-T in terms of voltage rating and application suitability?
The FR153G-T is rated for 200 V VRRM - positioned between the FR152G-T (100 V) and FR154G-T (400 V). It is ideal for 120/230 VAC-derived supplies with moderate safety margins, whereas FR152G-T suits low-voltage DC inputs and FR154G-T targets higher-line applications like industrial 3-phase rectification. All three share identical IF (1.5 A), trr (150 ns for FR153G-T), and DO-15 packaging, enabling footprint reuse across voltage variants in scalable power designs using the FR153G-T.
