Product details
Overview
MUR420S from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 4A, 200V ultra-fast recovery surface-mount rectifier diode 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 MUR420S datasheet, MUR420S pinout, MUR420S application, or MUR420S equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-fast trr (25ns), low VF at rated IF, thermal resistance (RθJA = 45°C/W), junction temperature range (–55°C to +175°C), and DO-214AB mechanical compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The MUR420S employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for high-efficiency rectification in DC-DC converters and freewheeling paths. Its 25ns reverse recovery time minimizes switching losses during high-frequency operation up to several hundred kHz.
Designed as a single-die, unidirectional device with cathode-band polarity marking, it supports continuous forward current of 4A at 175°C junction temperature and withstands 200V repetitive peak reverse voltage with only 5μA leakage at 25°C.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH4L06S | 600V VRRM, 20ns trr, 1.15V VF @ 4A - higher voltage rating, faster recovery, higher VF | Better suited for 400–600V bus systems; less optimal for 200V designs due to over-spec'd voltage | Select when 600V blocking and sub-20ns trr are required; verify layout thermal relief for higher VF |
| ES4D-E3/57T | 200V VRRM, 35ns trr, 0.92V VF @ 4A - same voltage, slower recovery, slightly higher VF | Acceptable where 35ns trr meets EMI/efficiency targets; lower cost in high-volume consumer SMPS | Choose for cost-sensitive 200V applications where 10ns slower recovery is tolerable |
Compared with STTH4L06S and ES4D-E3/57T, the MUR420S delivers optimal balance of 200V rating, 25ns speed, and 0.875V VF - making it ideal for space-constrained, thermally demanding 200V telecom and server power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the MUR420S?
The MUR420S has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +175°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version F2102). This rating allows reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed power supplies and industrial control cabinets. Derating curves confirm usable current down to 0A at 175°C case temperature. The MUR420S must be mounted on appropriate copper area to maintain this limit under full load.
Does the MUR420S have a specified reverse recovery time, and under what test conditions?
Yes, the MUR420S has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 25 ns, measured under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A per the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This value is confirmed for the MUR420S variant only - MUR440S and MUR460S specify 50 ns. The test circuit and waveform definitions are detailed in Figure 6 of the MUR420S–MUR460S datasheet.
What is the forward voltage drop of the MUR420S at rated current and temperature?
The MUR420S exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 0.875 V at IF = 4 A and TJ = 25°C, and 0.710 V at IF = 4 A and TJ = 150°C. These values are specified in the Electrical Specifications table of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version F2102). The lower VF at elevated temperature reflects improved carrier injection efficiency in silicon at high junction temperatures.
Is the MUR420S RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the MUR420S is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the Features section of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. The molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and terminals are matte tin-plated per J-STD-002 solderability standards. Full compliance documentation is available upon request from Aetrix Electronics.
What package type and marking does the MUR420S use?
The MUR420S uses the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package with cathode polarity indicated by a visible band. Marking code on the device reads "MUR420S", followed by green compound (G), date code (YW), and factory code (F) per the Marking Diagram in the datasheet. Weight is approximately 0.250 g, and moisture sensitivity level is J-STD-020 Level 1.
