Product details
Overview
MUR120S from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 A, 200 V ultra-fast recovery surface-mount rectifier diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring 25 ns reverse recovery time, 0.875 V forward voltage at 1 A and 25°C, and 50 µA reverse leakage at 150°C - deployed in high-frequency switching power supplies for low-loss AC/DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the MUR120S datasheet, MUR120S pinout, MUR120S application, or MUR120S equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (200 V), ultra-fast trr (25 ns), thermal resistance (17 °C/W), junction temperature rating (−55 to +175 °C), and DO-214AA mechanical compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The MUR120S operates as a single-die, unidirectional silicon rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching circuits. Its ultra-fast recovery (trr = 25 ns) minimizes switching losses during turn-off, while its glass-passivated junction ensures stable performance under thermal cycling and humidity stress.
Designed for operation up to 175°C junction temperature, it sustains 1 A average forward current with derating above 75°C lead temperature. The device exhibits low forward voltage (0.875 V @ 1 A, 25°C) and tight reverse leakage control (2 µA @ 25°C, 200 V), supporting efficiency-critical SMPS topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in flyback/freewheeling paths |
| IF(AV) | 1 A - continuous average forward current; sets baseline conduction capability at TA = 25°C |
| trr | 25 ns - ultra-fast reverse recovery time; enables >100 kHz switching without excessive diode loss or EMI |
| VF | 0.875 V @ 1 A, 25°C - low forward drop reduces I²R conduction loss and improves system efficiency |
| IR | 2 µA @ 200 V, 25°C - minimal leakage preserves hold-up energy and prevents standby power waste |
| RθJL | 17 °C/W - junction-to-lead thermal resistance; supports direct PCB copper pour heatsinking in SMB footprint |
| TJ max | +175 °C - high-temperature junction rating allows reliable operation in compact, thermally constrained enclosures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L06F | Same 1 A / 600 V rating but trr = 35 ns; VF = 0.95 V @ 1 A; TO-220AC package | Requires through-hole mounting and heatsink; unsuitable for space-constrained SMT designs | Select only if higher VRRM (600 V) and legacy through-hole assembly are required |
| ON Semi MUR120E | Identical 1 A / 200 V / 25 ns specs; same DO-214AA package; VF = 0.85 V @ 1 A, 25°C | No functional or mechanical deviation; qualified per AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade use | Preferred where automotive qualification or marginally lower VF is critical |
Compared with STTH1L06F and MUR120E, the MUR120S offers optimal balance of ultra-fast recovery, SMT compatibility, and cost-effective industrial qualification - making it ideal for high-volume consumer and industrial SMPS where DO-214AA footprint and 200 V blocking are primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for MUR120S?
The MUR120S has a VRRM of 200 V, meaning it can safely block up to 200 V of reverse voltage repeatedly without breakdown. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies under standard test conditions (TA = 25°C). Exceeding this voltage risks avalanche failure, especially at elevated temperatures or with voltage transients.
Does MUR120S support automated SMT placement?
Yes, the MUR120S uses the DO-214AA (SMB) package with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability standards. Its standardized footprint, moisture sensitivity level 1 rating, and glass-passivated die make it fully compatible with high-speed pick-and-place machines and reflow profiles used in volume manufacturing.
What is the forward voltage drop of MUR120S at 1 A and 150°C junction temperature?
The MUR120S exhibits a typical forward voltage of 0.710 V at 1 A and TJ = 150°C, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This reduced VF at high temperature reflects improved carrier injection efficiency and contributes to stable conduction loss in thermally demanding applications like enclosed LED drivers.
Is MUR120S RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the MUR120S is RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. These compliance statements are explicitly declared in the Features section of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version L2102), and verified via material declarations from TSC's quality documentation.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for MUR120S?
The MUR120S has a maximum reverse recovery time of 25 ns, measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This ultra-fast trr is validated across the MUR105S–MUR120S subgroup and enables efficient operation in high-frequency SMPS designs without significant switching loss or EMI generation.
