Product details
Overview
FR155G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1.5A, 600V fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-204AC (DO-15) package, featuring 250 ns reverse recovery time, 1.3 V max forward voltage at 1.5 A, and 50 A surge current capability. It serves as the primary output rectifier in high-frequency switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the FR155G datasheet, FR155G pinout, FR155G application, or FR155G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, AEC-Q101 qualification option (FR155GH), thermal resistance of 60 °C/W, and suitability for DC-DC converters requiring low conduction loss and fast transient response.
Technical Context
The FR155G employs a glass-passivated PN junction optimized for fast recovery in high-frequency switching topologies. Its 250 ns trr enables efficient operation in SMPS operating up to several hundred kHz while maintaining low reverse leakage (≤5 µA at 25°C, ≤100 µA at 125°C).
Thermally, it supports continuous operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature with a 60 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. The DO-204AC package uses pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in flyback or forward converter secondary side |
| IF | 1.5 A - Continuous average forward current; sets baseline conduction rating for thermal design |
| IFSM | 50 A - Non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine); withstands startup/short-circuit transients |
| trr | 250 ns - Reverse recovery time at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; determines switching loss and EMI in hard-switched converters |

| RθJA | 60 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; used to calculate temperature rise under PCB-mounted conditions |
| IR (max) | 5 µA @ 25°C - Reverse leakage at rated VR; critical for standby power and high-impedance bias networks |

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 (STMicroelectronics) | Same 1.5 A / 600 V rating; 150 ns trr, 1.7 V VF max, SOD-123FL package | Surface-mount only; unsuitable for through-hole legacy designs or high-surge mechanical stress environments | Select when board space is constrained and automated assembly is used; verify layout clearance for higher VF-induced heating |
| ES1J (ON Semiconductor) | 1 A / 600 V; 35 ns trr, 1.7 V VF max, DO-214AA (SMA) package | Lower current rating limits use to ≤1 A loads; faster trr benefits ultra-high-frequency designs but increases cost | Choose for compact SMT layouts needing <50 ns recovery; derate current by 33% versus FR155G's 1.5 A rating |
Compared with STTH1L06U and ES1J, the FR155G offers superior surge robustness (50 A vs. 30 A and 30 A), through-hole mechanical stability, and lower conduction loss at 1.5 A-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding, or legacy-compatible power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for FR155G?
The FR155G has a VRRM rating of 600 V, meaning it can safely block up to 600 V of reverse voltage in repetitive operation. This value is fixed per the FR155G designation within the FR151G–FR157G family and is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding this voltage risks avalanche breakdown and permanent damage to the FR155G junction.
Does FR155G have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base FR155G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the variant FR155GH is explicitly qualified per AEC-Q101. The "H" suffix denotes automotive stress testing compliance. For automotive applications requiring qualification, FR155GH must be specified-FR155G alone does not carry this certification, and no derivative testing data applies to the non-H version.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of FR155G and how is it measured?
The FR155G has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 250 ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, per the Electrical Specifications table. This parameter reflects the time required for the FR155G to transition from forward conduction to reverse blocking state and directly affects switching loss in high-frequency converters.
Can FR155G replace FR154G or FR156G in an existing design?
FR155G is not a direct replacement for FR154G (400 V) or FR156G (800 V) due to differing VRRM ratings. Substituting FR155G for FR154G risks overvoltage failure; substituting for FR156G sacrifices reverse voltage margin. The FR155G must only be used where 600 V blocking is both sufficient and compliant with safety margins defined in the original design's FR155G specification.
What package type and lead finish does FR155G use?
The FR155G uses the DO-204AC (DO-15) axial-leaded package with pure tin-plated leads. This finish meets J-STD-002 solderability requirements and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The cathode is marked by a visible band on the epoxy body, and the package complies with UL 94V-0 flammability standards.
