Product details
Overview
FR155GH 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 AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability - used in switching mode power supplies and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the FR155GH datasheet, FR155GH pinout, FR155GH application, or FR155GH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, AEC-Q101 qualification status, 250 ns trr performance, glass-passivated junction, and DO-15 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole layouts.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, unidirectional fast recovery rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications where low conduction loss and controlled reverse recovery behavior are critical. It operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and supports surge currents up to 50 A (8.3 ms half-sine).
The FR155GH uses a glass-passivated chip junction to ensure stable leakage performance and long-term reliability under thermal cycling. Its 20 pF junction capacitance at 4 V reverse bias and 5 µA max IR at 25°C support efficient high-speed rectification in SMPS flyback and forward converter topologies.

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, TO-220AC package, no AEC-Q101 | Higher speed but lower current rating; requires PCB footprint change and heatsink mounting | Preferred where ultra-fast recovery dominates over cost and layout continuity |
| ON Semi MUR160 | 1 A, 600 V, 50 ns trr, DO-41 package, no AEC-Q101 | Smaller DO-41 case limits thermal mass and surge capability; not qualified for automotive use | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer SMPS where AEC-Q101 and 1.5 A rating are not required |
Compared with STTH1L06U and MUR160, the FR155GH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 1.5 A current capacity, DO-15 compatibility, and 250 ns recovery - making it the only option meeting automotive-grade reliability and legacy board space constraints simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating of FR155GH?
The FR155GH has a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 600 V. This value is defined per JEDEC standards and verified under specified test conditions. It represents the maximum reverse voltage the FR155GH can block repeatedly without breakdown during normal operation. Designers must maintain at least 20% margin below this rating in final circuits to account for voltage spikes and temperature effects.
Is FR155GH qualified to AEC-Q101 standards?
Yes, FR155GH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Taiwan Semiconductor's ordering code suffix "H" and official documentation (Version I2105). The qualification includes HTOL, temperature cycling, HTRB, and unbiased HAST testing. This makes FR155GH suitable for automotive power modules, body control units, and other under-hood applications where reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is mandatory.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of FR155GH and how is it measured?
The FR155GH has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 250 ns, measured under standardized conditions: IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A, with specified test circuit per Figure 6 in the FR151G–FR157G datasheet. This value reflects the time required for minority carriers to clear after forward conduction ceases - directly impacting switching loss and EMI in high-frequency converters using the FR155GH.
Can FR155GH replace FR154G or FR156G in an existing design?
FR155GH is not a direct replacement for FR154G (400 V) or FR156G (800 V) due to differing VRRM ratings. Substituting FR155GH for FR154G risks overvoltage failure in 400 V designs; substituting for FR156G may compromise safety margin in 800 V applications. Electrical validation and stress analysis are required before any cross-family substitution involving the FR155GH.
What is the maximum forward voltage drop of FR155GH at rated current?
The maximum forward voltage drop (VF) of FR155GH is 1.3 V at IF = 1.5 A and TJ = 25°C, per the electrical specifications table. This value increases with junction temperature - at 125°C, typical VF rises to ~1.15 V. Designers should use this 1.3 V worst-case figure for thermal and efficiency calculations when evaluating the FR155GH in high-power-density layouts.
