Product details
Overview
MUR140S from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 A, 400 V ultra-fast recovery surface-mount rectifier diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring 50 ns reverse recovery time, 1.25 V forward voltage at 1 A and 25°C, and 150 µA reverse leakage at 150°C - deployed in high-frequency switching power supplies for efficient AC/DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the MUR140S datasheet, MUR140S pinout, MUR140S application, or MUR140S equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (400 V), surge current capability (35 A), junction-to-lead thermal resistance (17 °C/W), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial-grade power conversion designs.
Technical Context
The MUR140S is a single-die, planar passivated silicon PN junction rectifier optimized for high-frequency operation. Its ultra-fast recovery (trr = 50 ns) minimizes switching losses in SMPS topologies operating above 50 kHz, while the 400 V VRRM rating supports 280 V RMS input applications with safety margin.
Thermally, it sustains continuous operation up to 175°C junction temperature and delivers 1 A average forward current with derating above 75°C ambient. The DO-214AA (SMB) package enables automated placement and meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and JESD 201 class 2 whisker resistance.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R04 | Same 1 A / 400 V rating; trr = 35 ns (faster), VF = 1.3 V (higher), DO-214AA package | Better suited for >200 kHz designs where recovery speed dominates conduction loss | Prefer STTH1R04 when minimizing EMI in high-frequency PFC or resonant converters |
| ES1D | 1 A / 200 V rating; trr = 35 ns; VF = 1.7 V; same DO-214AA footprint but lower VRRM | Limited to 140 V RMS input systems; unsuitable for universal AC input | Select ES1D only for cost-sensitive, low-input-voltage (<200 VDC) DC/DC applications |
Compared with STTH1R04 and ES1D, the MUR140S offers optimal balance of 400 V robustness, 50 ns recovery, and 1.25 V VF for mainstream 50–150 kHz SMPS - making it preferred for universal-input adapters and industrial power modules where voltage margin and thermal stability outweigh marginal speed gains.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of the MUR140S?
The MUR140S has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 400 V, verified per Taiwan Semiconductor's L2102 datasheet. This rating allows safe operation with 280 V RMS input voltage and provides design margin against line transients in universal AC input power supplies. The MUR140S must not be operated beyond this voltage to ensure reliable blocking performance.
What is the forward voltage drop (VF) of the MUR140S at 1 A and 25°C?
The forward voltage drop (VF) of the MUR140S is 1.25 V at 1 A and 25°C, as specified in the electrical characteristics table of the official datasheet. At 150°C junction temperature, VF drops to 1.05 V due to semiconductor physics - a behavior confirmed in thermal test data. This VF directly impacts conduction loss calculation in the MUR140S application.
Does the MUR140S have a defined reverse recovery time (trr), and what is its value?
Yes, the MUR140S has a specified reverse recovery time (trr) of 50 ns under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A test conditions. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and is critical for evaluating switching loss and EMI in high-frequency power converters using the MUR140S as an output rectifier.
What package type does the MUR140S use, and is it compatible with standard SMT processes?
The MUR140S uses the DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package, with matte tin-plated leads that meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements. It is fully compatible with standard reflow profiles and classified as moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), meaning no pre-bake is required before assembly - a key advantage for high-volume manufacturing of products using the MUR140S.
What is the maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating for the MUR140S?
The MUR140S is rated for a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +175°C, with a corresponding storage temperature range of −55°C to +175°C. This high TJ rating enables reliable operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed LED drivers or compact AC/DC adapters where the MUR140S may experience elevated case temperatures.
