Product details
Overview
FR301G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 50V fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-201AD package, featuring 1.3V max forward voltage at 3A, 150ns reverse recovery time, and 125A surge capability - deployed in DC-DC converters and switching-mode power supplies for high-efficiency AC/DC and DC/DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the FR301G datasheet, FR301G pinout, FR301G application, or FR301G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (50V), thermal resistance (35°C/W), junction temperature range (–55°C to +150°C), cathode-band polarity marking, and AEC-Q101 qualification availability in H-grade variants.
Technical Context
The FR301G is a single-die, planar-passivated silicon fast recovery rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications. Its 150ns trr and low 1.3V VF at 3A enable reduced conduction and switching losses in SMPS topologies.
It operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, with 35°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and 125A non-repetitive surge rating (8.3ms half-sine), supporting robust transient handling in industrial and automotive-grade power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IF (Avg) | 3 A - continuous forward current rating defines maximum steady-state output current capability in rectification paths |
| VRRM | 50 V - peak reverse blocking voltage determines minimum input/output isolation margin in low-voltage DC-DC stages |
| trr | 150 ns - fast reverse recovery enables operation up to ~500 kHz switching frequencies with minimal switching loss |
| VF @ 3A | 1.3 V max - low forward drop reduces conduction loss and thermal load in high-current secondary-side rectifiers |
| IFSM | 125 A - surge rating supports inrush current tolerance during startup or fault transients without failure |
| RθJA | 35 °C/W - thermal resistance enables direct PCB-mount operation without heatsink in ≤2W dissipation designs |
| IR @ 25°C | 5 µA max - low leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance hold-up or sensing circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-201AD - axial-lead, molded plastic case with pure tin-plated leads (J-STD-002 compliant), UL 94V-0 rated compound, cathode indicated by band, weight ≈1.20g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 1) | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., transformer secondary center-tap or switch node return) in half-wave or full-wave configurations |
| Cathode (Lead 2, banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail or filter capacitor positive; polarity band prevents reverse installation in high-reliability assemblies |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast recovery (150 ns) | Enables efficient operation in 100–500 kHz SMPS without excessive switching loss or EMI from tail current |
| Low VF (1.3 V max @ 3A) | Reduces power dissipation by ~0.4W vs. standard rectifiers at 3A, lowering thermal stress on PCB traces and adjacent components |
| AEC-Q101 qualified option (FR301GH) | Validated for automotive power modules requiring extended temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock compliance |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and global environmental directives for industrial and consumer electronics manufacturing |
| Junction temp range (–55°C to +150°C) | Supports deployment in under-hood automotive, outdoor telecom, and industrial motor drive environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S (STMicroelectronics) | Same 3A/600V rating but higher VF (1.7V typ), slower trr (200ns), TO-220AC package | Requires heatsink above 1.5A; unsuitable for space-constrained DO-201AD layouts | Select when higher VRRM (600V) is required and board space allows TO-220 footprint |
| ES3D (ON Semiconductor) | 3A/200V, 35ns trr, SMC package, VF = 0.92V typ - faster and lower-loss but lower voltage rating | Better for 24–48V systems needing ultra-fast recovery; not suitable for 50V+ reverse stress | Select for high-frequency, low-VF priority in <200V applications where SMC surface-mount is preferred |
Compared with STTH3L06S and ES3D, the FR301G offers optimal balance of 50V rating, 150ns speed, DO-201AD through-hole compatibility, and cost-effective AEC-Q101 readiness - making it ideal for mid-power industrial and automotive auxiliary supplies where layout, thermal, and qualification constraints align.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the FR301G?
The FR301G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C and a minimum of –55°C. This wide operating range allows the FR301G to function reliably in harsh environments such as automotive under-hood locations or industrial control cabinets. Derating curves confirm usable current capacity down to zero amps at 150°C ambient, ensuring safe operation when thermal design margins are constrained.
Is the FR301G pin-compatible with other FR30xG series diodes?
Yes - all FR301G through FR307G share identical DO-201AD package dimensions, lead spacing, and anode/cathode pinout. The only differences are VRRM ratings (50V to 1000V) and reverse recovery time (150ns to 500ns). Therefore, FR301G can be substituted within the same family for lower-voltage designs without PCB changes, provided trr and leakage requirements remain acceptable.
Does the FR301G meet automotive qualification standards?
The base FR301G is not AEC-Q101 qualified, but the FR301GH variant is explicitly qualified per AEC-Q101. Both share identical electrical specs and DO-201AD packaging; the 'H' suffix denotes automotive-grade screening, including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and whisker resistance validation. For automotive body electronics or infotainment power rails, FR301GH is the designated qualified version.
What is the typical reverse recovery time (trr) of the FR301G and how is it measured?
The FR301G 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 JEDEC test method. This value reflects the time required for minority carriers to clear after forward conduction, directly impacting switching loss in high-frequency converters. The 150 ns trr enables stable operation up to ~500 kHz in well-designed layouts.
Can the FR301G be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the FR301G uses the axial-leaded DO-201AD package and is designed for through-hole mounting only. It lacks surface-mount terminations or land patterns. For SMT alternatives with similar ratings, consider ON Semiconductor's ES3D (SMC package) or Diodes Inc.'s GBU3K (GBU package), though these differ in trr, VF, and thermal performance. Board redesign is required to migrate from FR301G to any SMT rectifier.
