Product details
Overview
MUR420SHM6G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 4A, 200V ultra-fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package, featuring 25ns reverse recovery time, 0.875V max forward voltage at 4A/25°C, and 75A peak surge current - deployed in high-frequency switching mode power supplies for telecom and computing infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the MUR420SHM6G datasheet, MUR420SHM6G pinout, MUR420SHM6G application, or MUR420SHM6G equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-fast trr (25ns), low VF at rated IF, thermal resistance (RθJA = 45°C/W), JESD201 Class 2 whisker compliance, and DO-214AB mechanical compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This discrete silicon rectifier uses a glass-passivated PN junction optimized for high-efficiency freewheeling and output rectification in DC-DC converters operating above 50kHz. Its 25ns reverse recovery time minimizes switching losses during turn-off transitions under 0.5A forward / 1.0A reverse test conditions.
The device operates across -55°C to +175°C junction temperature range, supports 4A continuous forward current with derating above 75°C case temperature, and exhibits 65pF junction capacitance at 1MHz/4V - enabling stable performance in high-frequency resonant and hard-switched topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IF (Continuous Forward Current) | 4 A - supports sustained conduction in 48V–12V secondary-side rectification without forced cooling |
| VRRM (Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage) | 200 V - rated for use in 120VAC input-derived SMPS with margin against line transients |
| trr (Reverse Recovery Time) | 25 ns - reduces switching loss and EMI in >100kHz flyback and forward converters |
| VF (Max Forward Voltage @ 4A, 25°C) | 0.875 V - limits conduction loss to ≤3.5W at full load, easing thermal design |
| RθJA (Junction-to-Ambient) | 45 °C/W - enables 1.5W dissipation with ≤70°C ambient rise on standard 1-in² copper pad |
| IFSM (Peak Surge Current) | 75 A - withstands cold-start inrush and transient overloads per IEC 61000-4-5 |
| CJ (Junction Capacitance) | 65 pF - maintains low capacitive loading on high-side gate drivers in synchronous rectifier designs |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AB (SMC), surface-mount, single-die configuration with cathode band marking. Matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 molding compound, JESD201 Class 2 whisker compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to switch node or transformer secondary winding; must handle 75A surge without bond wire fusing |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point | Connected to output rail; polarity marked by visible band; requires low-inductance PCB routing to minimize ringing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH4L02S | Same DO-214AB package, 4A/200V, but trr = 35ns (vs. 25ns), VF = 0.95V max | Slightly higher conduction and switching loss; suitable where 10ns trr margin is acceptable | Select when prioritizing ST's supply chain continuity over minimal trr advantage |
| ON Semi MUR420E | Identical electrical specs (4A/200V/25ns), same DO-214AB, but lead finish is SnPb (non-RoHS) | Not suitable for RoHS-compliant production; requires exemption documentation | Choose only for legacy repair or non-regulated markets requiring SnPb solder compatibility |
Compared with STTH4L02S and MUR420E, the MUR420SHM6G delivers the lowest trr (25ns) among RoHS-compliant 4A/200V ultra-fast rectifiers in DO-214AB, enabling higher-frequency operation with reduced EMI and thermal stress in next-gen power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for MUR420SHM6G?
The MUR420SHM6G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) of +175°C, allowing operation in high-temperature environments such as enclosed server PSUs or industrial motor drives. This rating is validated per JEDEC standards and enables reliable performance when mounted on thermally optimized PCBs with ≥1-in² copper pour. The MUR420SHM6G maintains specified VF and trr parameters up to this limit.
Does MUR420SHM6G support automated SMT placement?
Yes, the MUR420SHM6G is designed for automated surface-mount placement with its DO-214AB (SMC) package, matte tin-plated leads, and J-STD-002 solderability certification. It meets moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020, eliminating bake requirements before reflow. The MUR420SHM6G is supplied in 3,000-piece tape-and-reel format compatible with standard pick-and-place machines.
How does the reverse recovery time of MUR420SHM6G compare to standard fast recovery diodes?
The MUR420SHM6G features a reverse recovery time (trr) of 25ns, significantly faster than standard fast recovery diodes (typically 50–100ns). This reduction lowers switching losses and EMI in high-frequency converters. Measured under IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, Irr = 0.25A conditions, the MUR420SHM6G's trr enables efficient operation up to 1MHz in resonant topologies - a key differentiator versus generic FRDs.
Is MUR420SHM6G RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the MUR420SHM6G is fully RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Its molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants, and lead content is below 1000 ppm. This compliance is verified through material declarations and third-party testing, making the MUR420SHM6G suitable for green electronics manufacturing in North America, Europe, and Asia.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case for MUR420SHM6G?
The MUR420SHM6G has a junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of 8.5°C/W, measured under standard JEDEC test conditions. This low value allows efficient heat transfer from the die to the PCB copper or external heatsink when the SMC body is thermally anchored. Combined with RθJA = 45°C/W, the MUR420SHM6G supports 1.5W continuous dissipation with ≤70°C ambient temperature rise on a 1-in² 2-oz copper pad.
