Product details

Overview

MUR160S from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 A, 600 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 requiring low conduction loss and fast transient response.

For engineers reviewing the MUR160S datasheet, MUR160S pinout, MUR160S application, or MUR160S equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (600 V), surge current rating (35 A), junction-to-lead thermal resistance (17 °C/W), and compliance with J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and JESD 201 class 2 whisker resistance.

Technical Context

The MUR160S is a single-die, unidirectional silicon rectifier optimized for high-efficiency DC/DC conversion where rapid turn-off minimizes switching losses. Its ultra-fast recovery (50 ns) enables operation in SMPS topologies above 100 kHz, while its 600 V V_RRM supports universal-input offline designs.

Thermally, it sustains continuous operation up to 175°C junction temperature with 17 °C/W junction-to-lead resistance, and its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability standards. Polarity is marked by a cathode band on the DO-214AA (SMB) molded case.

Key Specifications

V_RRM	600 V - supports universal AC input rectification without derating in 230 VAC + transients
I_F	1 A continuous - rated for sustained output current in compact adapter and lighting secondary-side rectification
t_rr	50 ns - reduces switching loss and EMI in high-frequency flyback and LLC converters
V_F	1.25 V @ 1 A, 25°C - lowers conduction loss vs. standard fast recovery diodes (e.g., ~1.5 V typical)
I_R	150 µA @ 600 V, 150°C - ensures stable blocking under elevated ambient and thermal stress
I_FSM	35 A @ 8.3 ms half-sine - withstands inrush surges during cold-start in industrial power modules
R_θJL	17 °C/W - enables direct PCB copper pour heat sinking without heatsink in space-constrained layouts

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STTH1R06	Same 1 A / 600 V rating; trr = 50 ns; VF = 1.3 V @ 1 A, 25°C; DO-214AA package	Slightly higher V_F increases conduction loss by ~40 mW at full load	Preferred when STMicroelectronics supply chain alignment is required; identical board fit
ES1J	1 A / 600 V; trr = 35 ns; VF = 1.7 V @ 1 A, 25°C; same DO-214AA package	Lower t_rr but higher V_F shifts trade-off toward high-frequency, low-duty-cycle use	Consider for resonant topologies where Q_rr dominates over conduction loss

Compared with STTH1R06 and ES1J, the MUR160S delivers the lowest combined conduction and switching loss across 50–200 kHz SMPS operating ranges due to its balanced 1.25 V V_F and 50 ns t_rr, making it optimal for thermally constrained adapters and LED drivers.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the MUR160S?

The MUR160S has a maximum junction temperature (T_J) of +175°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This rating allows continuous operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed LED drivers or industrial power modules. Derating curves confirm usable current capacity down to 0.6 A at 125°C ambient with minimal heatsinking. The MUR160S must not exceed this limit to maintain reliability and parametric stability.

Does the MUR160S have a halogen-free construction?

Yes, the MUR160S uses halogen-free molding compound compliant with IEC 61249-2-21, as confirmed in the "Features" section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This specification meets global environmental regulations including EU RoHS and Japan's JIS C 0950, and supports safer end-of-life processing. The MUR160S also carries full RoHS compliance documentation and is rated for lead-free reflow profiles per J-STD-020.

What is the reverse recovery time (t_rr) of the MUR160S and under what test conditions?

The MUR160S has a reverse recovery time (t_rr) of 50 ns, measured under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A per the Electrical Specifications table. This value applies specifically to the MUR140S and MUR160S variants and is validated at TA = 25°C. Pulse test duration is 0.3 ms. The 50 ns t_rr enables efficient operation in high-frequency flyback and resonant converters where fast turn-off minimizes switching loss and EMI generation.

Is the MUR160S compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?

Yes, the MUR160S features matte tin-plated leads that meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements for both lead-free and SnPb solder pastes. Its DO-214AA (SMB) package is qualified for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C per J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity. The device does not require baking prior to assembly and supports standard 240°C peak profile ramp rates. Full process validation data is available in the Taiwan Semiconductor packaging report for MUR160S.

How does the forward voltage of the MUR160S compare at elevated junction temperatures?

At TJ = 150°C and IF = 1 A, the MUR160S exhibits a forward voltage (V_F) of 1.050 V - significantly lower than its 1.250 V rating at 25°C. This negative temperature coefficient improves thermal stability in high-load conditions, reducing runaway risk. The datasheet confirms this behavior across the MUR140S–MUR160S group, and the 0.2 V drop at 150°C directly lowers conduction loss by ~16% compared to room-temperature operation.
