Product details
Overview
FR802 from ON Semiconductor is an 8.0A fast recovery rectifier diode in TO-220A package, rated for 100 V maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.3 V forward voltage at 8.0 A DC, and 150 ns reverse recovery time (Trr), used in high-frequency switching power supplies and AC/DC front-end rectification stages.
For engineers reviewing the FR802 datasheet, FR802 pinout, FR802 application, or FR802 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low Trr for reduced switching loss, low IR (10 µA @ 25°C) for standby efficiency, and robust IFSM (150 A) for surge resilience in industrial SMPS and motor drive input stages.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional silicon junction rectifier with fast recovery characteristics optimized for high-frequency operation up to several hundred kHz. Its 150 ns Trr and 70 pF junction capacitance enable efficient performance in flyback and forward converter primary-side rectification.
The FR802 sustains 8.0 A average forward current at TC = 100°C with thermal derating to zero at 175°C case temperature, and exhibits low leakage-10 µA at 25°C and 150 µA at full load (TC = 100°C)-supporting energy-efficient standby modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe AC line surge margin in 115 VAC input designs. |
| I(AV) | 8.0 A @ TC = 100°C - Continuous DC output capability; supports 100–150 W SMPS outputs with appropriate heatsinking. |
| Trr | 150 ns - Fast recovery enables reduced switching losses and EMI in 50–500 kHz converters. |
| VF | 1.3 V @ 8.0 A DC - Low conduction loss improves efficiency; contributes ~10.4 W conduction loss at full load. |
| IFSM | 150 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Withstands inrush surges during cold-start of industrial power supplies. |
| IR | 10 µA @ 25°C, 150 µA @ TC = 100°C - Low leakage preserves efficiency in standby and light-load conditions. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220A - Molded plastic case with plated axial leads, UL 94V-0 rated, 2.24 g mass, mountable in any orientation. Case polarity is isolated; Pin 1 = Anode (+), Pin 2 = Cathode (−).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Input terminal for forward conduction; connects to AC source or transformer secondary in bridge/half-wave configurations. |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Output terminal for rectified DC; ties to bulk capacitor or downstream regulator input. |
| Case | Isolated metal tab | Thermally conductive but electrically isolated; used for mechanical mounting and heat dissipation without electrical connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast recovery time | 150 ns - Reduces reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and associated switching loss in high-frequency topologies. |
| Low forward voltage | 1.3 V @ 8 A - Minimizes conduction loss and thermal stress under continuous load. |
| High surge rating | 150 A non-repetitive - Ensures reliability during AC line transients and cold-start inrush events. |
| Low leakage current | 10 µA @ 25°C - Supports low-power standby compliance (e.g., Energy Star Level VI) in offline adapters. |
Applications
| Industrial Switch-Mode Power Supplies | AC Motor Drive Input Rectifiers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Front-end rectification in 100–200 W industrial SMPS with universal AC input (85–265 VAC). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast recovery rectifier in single-phase bridge configuration, handling 50–60 kHz switching frequency. Use Value: 150 ns Trr and 1.3 V VF reduce total power loss by ~12% vs. standard recovery diodes at 100 kHz. | Use Scenario: DC bus charging in 3-phase inverter input stage for HVAC and pump drives. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current, high-surge-capability rectifier in uncontrolled 6-pulse front-end. Use Value: 150 A IFSM withstands motor startup surges; 175°C max junction temp supports harsh ambient environments. |
| LED Driver Secondary-Side Rectification | Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Battery Charging Stages |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in constant-current LED drivers for street lighting (100–150 W). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous replacement candidate in quasi-resonant flyback secondary side. Use Value: Low IR (10 µA) minimizes no-load power draw; TO-220A allows direct PCB heatsinking for compact form factor. | Use Scenario: AC-to-DC conversion in line-interactive UPS battery charger modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary rectifier in dual-stage charger with PFC pre-regulator. Use Value: 100 V VRRM provides margin over 120 VAC peak (170 V); UL 94V-0 housing meets safety certification requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH8R06D | VRRM = 600 V, Trr = 60 ns, VF = 1.7 V @ 8 A | Higher voltage rating suits 230 VAC-only or PFC boost outputs; faster Trr but higher VF increases conduction loss. | Select when >200 V blocking is required and switching frequency exceeds 300 kHz. |
| MUR820 | VRRM = 200 V, Trr = 75 ns, VF = 1.75 V @ 8 A, TO-220AC package (electrically connected case) | Case is cathode-connected; requires insulation if mounting to heatsink; better Trr but higher VF and leakage (50 µA). | Choose only if case-cathode topology aligns with layout and thermal design constraints. |
Compared with STTH8R06D and MUR820, the FR802 offers optimal balance of low VF (1.3 V), moderate VRRM (100 V), and isolation-safe TO-220A packaging-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 115 VAC-input power supplies where conduction loss dominates efficiency.

FAQ
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-case (RθJC) for FR802?
The FR802 has a typical RθJC of 1.8°C/W, measured under standard JEDEC test conditions with soldered TO-220A mounting on a 1 in² copper pad. This value enables calculation of junction temperature rise (ΔTJ = RθJC × PD) for thermal design validation in real-world layouts.
Can FR802 be used in a full-wave bridge configuration?
Yes-FR802 is a single die, two-terminal discrete rectifier and is commonly used as one leg in discrete full-wave bridge assemblies. Four FR802 units can construct a 100 V, 8 A bridge; ensure matched Trr and VF across all four units for balanced dynamic performance.
Does FR802 have avalanche rating or ruggedness specification?
No official avalanche energy (EAS) rating is specified in the DS26005 datasheet. The device is not characterized for repetitive avalanche operation; transient overvoltage protection must be implemented externally using TVS diodes or RC snubbers per application requirements.
Is the TO-220A case electrically isolated in FR802?
Yes-the TO-220A package used in FR802 features an electrically isolated metal tab. Pin 1 (anode) and Pin 2 (cathode) are the only active terminals; the case serves solely as a thermal path and requires no electrical isolation from heatsink in standard mounting.
