Product details
Overview
MUR160SH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 A, 600 V ultra-fast recovery surface-mount rectifier diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring 1.250 V forward voltage at 1 A and 25°C, 50 ns reverse recovery time, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability in snubber and freewheeling circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MUR160SH datasheet, MUR160SH pinout, MUR160SH application, or MUR160SH equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage rating (600 V), ultra-fast trr (50 ns), thermal resistance (17 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +175 °C), and moisture sensitivity level (J-STD-020 Level 1).
Technical Context
The MUR160SH is a single-die, glass-passivated silicon rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications. Its 600 V VRRM and 50 ns trr enable efficient operation in DC-DC converters operating above 100 kHz, while its 17 °C/W RθJL supports sustained 1 A conduction under thermally constrained SMB layouts.
Designed for automotive environments, it meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements and features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Polarity is marked by a cathode band on the DO-214AA body.
Key Specifications

Applications
| DC-DC Converter | Automotive Lighting |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated flyback or forward converters operating at 100–500 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ultra-fast power rectifier handling high dv/dt and minimizing switching loss. Use Value: 50 ns trr and 1.25 V VF reduce total power loss versus standard fast recovery diodes, improving converter efficiency by ~1.2% at 1 A output. | Use Scenario: LED driver output rectification and overvoltage protection in headlamp and DRL modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling and clamping diode in buck/boost LED drivers exposed to load dump transients. Use Value: 600 V VRRM withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump up to 60 V + overshoot), and AEC-Q101 qualification ensures field reliability. |
| Snubber Network | Freewheeling Diode |
Use Scenario: RCD snubber across MOSFETs or IGBTs in motor control inverters and industrial SMPS. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery clamp diode absorbing inductive energy spikes during switching transitions. Use Value: 50 ns trr prevents reverse conduction overlap with main switch, avoiding snubber inefficiency and thermal runaway. | Use Scenario: Inductive load commutation in automotive solenoid drivers and relay coils. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling path for stored inductor energy during turn-off of driving transistor. Use Value: 1 A IF rating and 40 A IFSM handle typical solenoid surge currents; DO-214AA fits compact PCB space constraints. |
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 600 V VRRM, 1 A IF, but 75 ns trr; VF = 1.3 V @ 1 A, 25 °C | Higher switching loss in >200 kHz designs due to slower recovery | Acceptable where cost is prioritized over peak efficiency and layout thermal margin is generous |
| ES1J | 600 V VRRM, 1 A IF, but 35 ns trr; VF = 1.7 V @ 1 A, 25 °C | Higher conduction loss reduces efficiency in continuous 1 A operation | Preferred in very high-frequency (>1 MHz) snubbers where recovery speed dominates loss budget |
Compared with STTH1R06 and ES1J, the MUR160SH delivers optimal balance of ultra-fast recovery (50 ns), low forward drop (1.25 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it uniquely suited for automotive-grade DC-DC and lighting applications requiring both efficiency and reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the MUR160SH?
The MUR160SH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +175 °C, verified per AEC-Q101 thermal stress testing. This allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-power-density industrial converters where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C. The MUR160SH maintains specified electrical performance up to this limit when thermal design accounts for its 17 °C/W junction-to-lead resistance.
Is the MUR160SH suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the MUR160SH is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly listed for automotive applications including car lighting and DC-DC converters. It passes temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and mechanical shock tests required for automotive-grade components. Its DO-214AA package, matte tin plating, and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity further support robust automotive manufacturing and field reliability.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of the MUR160SH and how is it measured?
The MUR160SH has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 50 ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and IRR = 0.25 A per the datasheet. This value reflects the time required for minority carriers to clear after forward conduction, directly impacting switching loss in high-frequency power supplies. The MUR160SH's 50 ns trr is confirmed across all production lots and validated in the A2102 revision of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet.
Does the MUR160SH have a halogen-free and RoHS-compliant construction?
Yes, the MUR160SH uses halogen-free molding compound per IEC 61249-2-21 and is fully RoHS compliant. Its lead finish is matte tin, meeting J-STD-002 solderability requirements, and the entire assembly complies with EU Directive 2011/65/EU. These material attributes are documented in the A2102 version of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet and verified through third-party lab testing reports.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of the MUR160SH at 1 A and 150 °C?
The MUR160SH exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 1.050 V at 1 A and 150 °C, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table of the A2102 datasheet. This elevated-temperature VF is critical for thermal design validation, confirming that conduction loss remains within acceptable limits even at maximum junction temperature, supporting stable operation in sealed automotive enclosures.
