Product details
Overview
FR155G-T 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 5 µA max reverse leakage at 25°C - used in switching-mode DC/DC converters requiring efficient unidirectional current control.
For engineers reviewing the FR155G-T datasheet, FR155G-T pinout, FR155G-T application, or FR155G-T equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (600 V), surge current capability (50 A), thermal resistance (60 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial power conversion designs.
Technical Context
The FR155G-T is a single-die, glass-passivated silicon PN junction rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications. Its 250 ns trr and low VF enable reduced switching losses in SMPS topologies, while the DO-15 package supports through-hole mounting with pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 60 °C/W and TJ(max) = 150 °C, enabling operation up to 1.5 A average forward current at ambient temperatures ≤75 °C per derating curve. Reverse leakage remains ≤100 µA at 125 °C, supporting stable performance in thermally demanding environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe blocking capability in 400–600 V DC bus applications |
| IF | 1.5 A - continuous average forward current; sets steady-state conduction rating at TA ≤ 75 °C |
| IFSM | 50 A - non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine); supports inrush and fault transient handling |
| trr | 250 ns - reverse recovery time at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables >100 kHz switching frequency use |
| VF | ≤1.3 V - max forward voltage at IF = 1.5 A, TJ = 25 °C; limits conduction loss to ≤1.95 W under full load |
| IR | ≤5 µA - max reverse leakage at rated VR, TJ = 25 °C; ensures minimal standby power loss |
| RθJA | 60 °C/W - junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; requires ≥0.5 cm² copper pad for full 1.5 A rating |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-204AC (DO-15), axial leaded, glass-passivated, cathode indicated by band. Weight ≈ 0.400 g. UL 94V-0 molding compound; JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| Cathode (lead with band) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail or filter capacitor positive; blocks reverse voltage up to 600 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated junction | Enhances moisture resistance and long-term reliability in humid or industrial environments |
| Low VF (≤1.3 V @ 1.5 A) | Reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. standard recovery rectifiers, improving efficiency in 12–48 V DC/DC stages |
| Fast trr = 250 ns | Minimizes switching loss and EMI generation in 50–200 kHz SMPS designs |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Meets IEC 61249-2-21; supports environmentally compliant manufacturing and end-of-life recycling |
| 50 A IFSM rating | Withstands cold-start surges and short-circuit transients without degradation in offline adapters |
Applications
| DC/DC Converter Primary Side | Switch-Mode Inverter Output Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-efficiency isolated flyback converter delivering 24 V/1.2 A from 375 V DC bus in telecom power supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast recovery rectifier on secondary winding, synchronizing with primary-side MOSFET switching at 100 kHz. Use Value: 250 ns trr prevents reverse recovery tail current, reducing diode-induced switching loss and snubber stress. | Use Scenario: Single-phase H-bridge inverter driving 400 W BLDC motor with 600 V DC link. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode across each IGBT, conducting during dead-time and inductive kickback. Use Value: 600 V VRRM and 50 A IFSM ensure robust commutation without avalanche breakdown during motor phase reversal. |

Use Value: Low 5 µA IR at 25 °C maintains <1 mW no-load loss, meeting Level VI efficiency requirements. | Use Scenario: Constant-current LED driver for street lighting (72 V string, 700 mA). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main output rectifier converting high-frequency transformer output to DC. Use Value: 1.3 V VF limits rectifier dissipation to <0.9 W, enabling compact heatsink-free design in sealed outdoor housing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L60S | 1.2 A, 600 V, trr = 110 ns, TO-220AC package | Higher speed but lower current rating; requires heatsink above 0.8 A | Preferred where ultra-fast recovery (<150 ns) is critical and board space allows TO-220 mounting |
| ON Semi MUR160 | 1.0 A, 600 V, trr = 50 ns, DO-41 package | Lower IF and smaller DO-41 footprint; limited to ≤0.8 A continuous | Suitable for low-power auxiliary supplies where size constraints outweigh current needs |
Compared with STTH1L60S and MUR160, the FR155G-T uniquely balances 1.5 A current capacity, 600 V blocking, 250 ns recovery, and DO-15 manufacturability - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, medium-power industrial SMPS where thermal headroom and through-hole assembly are priorities.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for FR155G-T?
The FR155G-T has a maximum junction temperature (TJ(max)) of +150 °C, with operational storage temperature ranging from –55 °C to +150 °C. This rating allows sustained 1.5 A conduction when ambient temperature is maintained ≤75 °C using standard PCB copper area per the derating curve in the FR151G-T–FR157G-T datasheet.
Does FR155G-T meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the FR155G-T is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound is UL 94V-0 rated, and the pure tin-plated leads satisfy J-STD-002 solderability standards - verified in Taiwan Semiconductor's B2105 revision documentation.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for FR155G-T?
The FR155G-T has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 250 ns, measured under conditions IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table of the official FR151G-T–FR157G-T datasheet (Version B2105, Page 2).
Can FR155G-T replace FR154G-T or FR156G-T in an existing design?
No - FR155G-T is rated for 600 V VRRM, whereas FR154G-T is 400 V and FR156G-T is 800 V. Substitution requires verification of voltage margin, especially under line transients or reflected spikes. The FR155G-T must not be used where 800 V blocking is required, nor is it over-specified for 400 V systems without evaluating thermal trade-offs.
What is the marking code printed on the FR155G-T device body?
The FR155G-T is marked "FR155G" on the device body, followed by date code (YWW format) and factory code (F). The "G" suffix denotes green (halogen-free) compound, consistent with Taiwan Semiconductor's ordering nomenclature per the B2105 datasheet page 6.
