Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation MUR360S R7G

Overview

MUR360S from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 600V ultra-fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package, featuring 50 ns reverse recovery time, 1.25 V forward voltage at 3A/25°C, and 175°C maximum junction temperature. It serves as a freewheeling diode or output rectifier in high-frequency switching power supplies for telecom and computing systems.

For engineers reviewing the MUR360S datasheet, MUR360S pinout, MUR360S application, or MUR360S equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage rating, thermal resistance (11°C/W), surge current capability (75 A), and moisture sensitivity level (J-STD-020 Level 1).

Technical Context

The MUR360S employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for ultra-fast recovery (trr ≤ 50 ns), enabling high-efficiency operation in 100 kHz–1 MHz switching converters. Its single-die configuration and DO-214AB package support automated SMT placement while maintaining low thermal resistance (R_θJL = 11°C/W).

Designed for high-reliability freewheeling and output rectification, it delivers stable performance across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature range with rated I_F = 3 A DC and I_FSM = 75 A (8.3 ms half-sine). Reverse leakage remains ≤ 10 μA at 25°C and ≤ 250 μA at 150°C under full-rated V_RRM.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the MUR360S?

The MUR360S has a maximum junction temperature (T_J(max)) of +175°C, allowing reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial power supplies or unventilated telecom equipment. This rating is validated per absolute maximum ratings table and supported by thermal derating curves showing usable current down to 0 A at 175°C ambient with appropriate PCB copper area. The MUR360S maintains specified electrical parameters within this full range when operated within its SOA limits.

Does the MUR360S have RoHS and halogen-free compliance?

Yes, the MUR360S is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet revision J2212. The molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and terminals are matte tin plated per J-STD-002 solderability standards. These certifications are verified through material declarations and third-party test reports applicable to the DO-214AB packaged MUR360S.

What is the reverse recovery time (t_rr) of the MUR360S and under what conditions is it measured?

The MUR360S has a reverse recovery time (t_rr) of 50 ns, measured under conditions of I_F = 0.5 A, I_R = 1.0 A, and I_RR = 0.25 A, per the Electrical Specifications table in the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This value applies to the MUR340S and MUR360S variants only and reflects performance at 25°C ambient. The MUR360S achieves this speed via optimized carrier lifetime control in its ultra-fast silicon junction.

Can the MUR360S be used as a direct replacement for the MUR340S in an existing design?

Yes, the MUR360S is a direct drop-in replacement for the MUR340S in the same DO-214AB (SMC) package, sharing identical pinout, thermal characteristics (R_θJL = 11°C/W), and mechanical dimensions. While both share 50 ns t_rr and 3 A I_F, the MUR360S extends V_RRM from 400 V to 600 V and increases I_FSM from 60 A to 75 A - providing additional margin in high-voltage or high-surge applications without layout change.

What is the forward voltage drop of the MUR360S at rated current and elevated temperature?

The MUR360S exhibits a forward voltage (V_F) of 1.25 V maximum at I_F = 3 A and T_J = 25°C, and 1.05 V maximum at I_F = 3 A and T_J = 150°C. This negative temperature coefficient improves thermal stability in parallel configurations and reduces conduction loss at operating temperature versus room-temperature spec. The value is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table for MUR340S/MUR360S group under "Forward voltage(1)".
