Product details
Overview
MUR440SH from Taiwan Semiconductor is an ultra-fast recovery surface-mount rectifier diode rated for 4 A average forward current and 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, with 50 ns reverse recovery time and 1.25 V max forward voltage at 4 A and 25°C, used in automotive DC-DC converters and snubber circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MUR440SH datasheet, MUR440SH pinout, MUR440SH application, or MUR440SH equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-214AB (SMC) package, AEC-Q101 qualification, glass-passivated junction, 175°C max junction temperature, and 75 A non-repetitive surge rating.
Technical Context
The MUR440SH employs a single-die silicon PN junction with glass passivation for enhanced reliability and moisture resistance. Its ultra-fast 50 ns trr enables high-frequency switching in DC-DC topologies where reverse recovery losses must be minimized.
Thermally, it features a junction-to-case resistance of 8.5°C/W and junction-to-ambient resistance of 45°C/W in DO-214AB (SMC) package, supporting sustained 4 A conduction at elevated ambient temperatures when properly heatsinked.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in flyback or freewheeling paths |
| IF(AV) | 4 A - continuous forward current rating at TC = 110°C; determines minimum heatsinking requirements |
| trr | 50 ns - ultra-fast reverse recovery time; reduces switching loss and EMI in >100 kHz converters |
| VF(max) | 1.25 V @ 4 A, 25°C - forward voltage drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design |
| IFSM | 75 A - peak surge current handling for 8.3 ms half-sine; supports inrush and fault-current tolerance |
| TJ(max) | 175°C - maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| RθJC | 8.5°C/W - thermal resistance from junction to case; critical for calculating case temperature rise under load |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH4R04DJF | 400 V VRRM, 4 A IF, 40 ns trr, TO-277A package (smaller footprint than DO-214AB) | Lower trr improves high-frequency efficiency but requires revised pad layout | Preferred where board space is constrained and trr < 45 ns is required |
| ON Semi MUR440E | Same VRRM/IF/trr specs, DO-214AB package, but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive qualification; unsuitable for under-hood use per OEM requirements | Select only for industrial or consumer applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with STTH4R04DJF and MUR440E, the MUR440SH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 50 ns trr, and DO-214AB compatibility-making it the default choice for automotive-grade 400 V rectification where qualification and legacy footprint retention are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the MUR440SH?
The MUR440SH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ(max)) of +175°C, verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This rating allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments where ambient temperatures reach 125°C, provided thermal design maintains junction temperature below this limit. The MUR440SH's RθJC of 8.5°C/W enables effective heat transfer to the PCB or heatsink.
Is the MUR440SH AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, the MUR440SH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet revision A2102. This qualification covers temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and unbiased highly accelerated stress test (UHAST), making the MUR440SH suitable for automotive powertrain and body electronics applications.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of the MUR440SH and how is it measured?
The MUR440SH 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 JEDEC standard test circuit. This value is specified for both MUR440SH and MUR460SH variants and reflects the device's ultra-fast switching capability essential for high-frequency DC-DC converters.
What package does the MUR440SH use and what are its mechanical features?
The MUR440SH uses the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package. Key mechanical features include matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, UL 94V-0 flammability-rated molding compound, polarity indicated by cathode band, and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Its weight is approximately 0.250 g.
How does the forward voltage of the MUR440SH compare at different junction temperatures?
At 4 A and 25°C, the MUR440SH's forward voltage is ≤1.25 V; at 4 A and 150°C, it drops to ≤1.05 V. This negative temperature coefficient improves thermal stability in parallel configurations and reduces conduction loss at elevated operating temperatures-critical for automotive under-hood applications where the MUR440SH operates near its 175°C TJ(max).
