Product details
Overview
MUR340SH from Taiwan Semiconductor is an ultra-fast recovery surface-mount rectifier diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, rated for 3 A average forward current, 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, and 50 ns reverse recovery time. It features glass-passivated junction, AEC-Q101 qualification, and is used in automotive DC-DC converters and freewheeling circuits where fast switching and thermal robustness are required.
For engineers reviewing the MUR340SH datasheet, MUR340SH pinout, MUR340SH application, or MUR340SH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400 V VRRM, 75 A IFSM, 1.25 V forward voltage at 3 A/25°C, 175°C maximum junction temperature, and DO-214AB mechanical compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The MUR340SH is a single-die, unidirectional silicon rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications. Its ultra-fast 50 ns recovery time minimizes switching losses in DC-DC topologies, while the glass-passivated junction ensures stable performance under thermal cycling and humidity stress.
AEC-Q101 qualification confirms suitability for automotive environments, and the DO-214AB (SMC) package provides low thermal resistance (RθJL = 11°C/W), enabling reliable operation up to 175°C junction temperature without derating in compact layouts.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in snubber and flyback clamp circuits. |
| IF | 3 A - Continuous average forward current at TL = 110°C; supports sustained conduction in automotive power rails. |
| trr | 50 ns - Measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, IRR = 0.25 A; enables >100 kHz switching in SMPS designs. |
| VF | 1.25 V @ 3 A, 25°C - Forward voltage drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal load in high-current paths. |
| RθJL | 11 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; allows direct heatsinking via PCB copper and simplifies thermal design. |
| IFSM | 75 A - Peak surge current rating for 8.3 ms half-sine; withstands inrush and transient overloads in automotive start-stop systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L04S | 400 V VRRM, 3 A IF, 35 ns trr, TO-277 package (smaller footprint than DO-214AB) | Lower trr improves high-frequency efficiency but TO-277 has higher RθJA (50°C/W vs. 11°C/W) | Preferred when board space is constrained and thermal management uses external heatsink. |
| ON Semi MUR340E | Identical VRRM, IF, trr, and DO-214AB package; differs in marking code and minor VF tolerance (1.25 V max vs. 1.30 V max) | No functional difference in automotive or industrial freewheeling use cases | Drop-in alternative if dual-sourcing or second-source validation is required. |
Compared with STTH3L04S and MUR340E, the MUR340SH offers superior thermal performance (RθJL = 11°C/W) and AEC-Q101 certification out-of-box, making it optimal for thermally dense automotive modules where lead-based conduction dominates cooling.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the MUR340SH?
The MUR340SH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +175°C, verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This rating allows uninterrupted operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-power-density industrial converters without thermal derating below 110°C lead temperature. The MUR340SH maintains stable electrical parameters-including 10 μA reverse leakage at 400 V-up to this limit.
Is the MUR340SH suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the MUR340SH is AEC-Q101 qualified and designed for automotive use. It meets requirements for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and humidity testing. Its DO-214AB package, glass-passivated junction, and 175°C TJ rating make it appropriate for engine control units, LED lighting drivers, and DC-DC converters in passenger vehicles and commercial fleets. The MUR340SH is explicitly listed in TSC's automotive-grade rectifier portfolio.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of the MUR340SH and how is it measured?
The MUR340SH has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 50 ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and IRR = 0.25 A. This value is confirmed in TSC's official datasheet revision B2212 and reflects performance at 25°C ambient. The MUR340SH's 50 ns trr enables efficient operation in switching power supplies operating above 200 kHz, reducing switching losses compared to standard fast recovery diodes.
Does the MUR340SH have RoHS and halogen-free compliance?
Yes, the MUR340SH is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and terminals are matte tin plated per J-STD-002. These compliance attributes are documented in TSC's official product specification for the MUR340SH and verified through third-party material declarations. No exemptions apply.
What packaging format is available for the MUR340SH?
The MUR340SH is supplied in DO-214AB (SMC) package and packaged in tape-and-reel format with 3,000 pieces per reel. The reel meets EIA-481 standards and is compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place equipment. The MUR340SH's marking code "MUR340S" appears on the cathode-band side, and the device is moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), eliminating bake requirements prior to reflow.
