Product details
Overview
MUR460-T from Diodes Incorporated is a super fast glass passivated rectifier diode rated for 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 4.0 A average forward current at 120°C lead temperature, featuring 50 ns reverse recovery time, 1.28 V forward voltage at 4 A, and AEC-Q101 Rev_C qualification for automotive-grade reliability in high-efficiency AC/DC front-end and flyback snubber circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MUR460-T datasheet, MUR460-T pinout, MUR460-T application, or MUR460-T equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery time under 50 ns, thermal resistance (RthJL = 11 °C/W), low leakage (<10 µA @ 25°C), RoHS- and halogen-free compliance, and DO-201AD package compatibility with high-power PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional power rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications up to 20 kHz, where fast recovery minimizes switching losses. Its glass passivation ensures stable junction performance across -55°C to +175°C operating range and supports reliable operation in automotive under-hood environments.
The DO-201AD package provides mechanical robustness and thermal path efficiency via low RthJL (11 °C/W) and RthJC (8 °C/W), enabling sustained 4.0 A conduction without forced cooling when mounted on copper-clad PCBs with adequate pad area.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Withstands peak reverse transients in 400 V AC line-derived supplies without breakdown. |
| IF(AV) | 4.0 A @ TL = 120°C - Sustains continuous output in compact SMPS designs with natural convection cooling. |
| trr | 50 ns - Enables efficient operation in 100–500 kHz switch-mode topologies with minimal tail current loss. |
| VF | 1.28 V @ IF = 4 A, TJ = 25°C - Limits conduction loss to ~5.1 W at full load, easing thermal design. |
| IR | 10 µA @ VR = 600 V, TJ = 25°C - Ensures negligible standby leakage in high-impedance hold-up circuits. |
| RthJL | 11 °C/W - Allows junction-to-lead temperature rise of 44°C at 4 A, supporting reliable long-term operation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-201AD molded plastic case per JEDEC standard; cathode indicated by color band; weight ≈ 1.0675 g; UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead A) | Positive input terminal for forward conduction | Connected to AC source or transformer secondary; must handle full surge current (220 A @ 1 ms). |
| Cathode (Lead K, banded end) | Output terminal for rectified DC | Drives bulk capacitor or downstream regulator; polarity marking prevents reverse installation in high-reliability assemblies. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated chip | Eliminates moisture-induced degradation and enables stable parametric performance over 15+ year automotive service life. |
| AEC-Q101 Rev_C qualification | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics requiring zero-defect reliability under thermal cycling and humidity bias stress. |
| Low RthJL (11 °C/W) | Reduces need for thermal vias or heatsinks in space-constrained industrial power adapters and LED drivers. |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" construction | Meets EU Directive 2015/863/EU with Br+Cl <1500 ppm and Sb <1000 ppm-enabling compliance in export-sensitive markets. |
Applications
| AC/DC Power Supply Input Stage | Automotive DC-DC Converter Output Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Full-wave bridge rectification in 100–250 W offline SMPS with universal input (85–265 V AC). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary unidirectional power switch converting AC line to pulsating DC; operates at 50/60 Hz fundamental but recovers within 50 ns for high-frequency noise suppression. Use Value: 50 ns trr reduces EMI generation during commutation, lowering filter component count and board area by ~18% vs. standard FR diodes. | Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectification replacement in 12 V → 5 V/3.3 V automotive buck converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode clamping inductive kickback during MOSFET off-time; handles 4 A average load with minimal voltage overshoot. Use Value: 1.28 V VF limits conduction loss to ≤5.1 W, permitting operation without heatsink in ambient up to 85°C. |
| Flyback Snubber Network | Industrial Motor Drive Brake Circuit |
Use Scenario: RC clamp snubber across primary-side MOSFET in isolated flyback converters handling >100 W loads. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast recovery path for transient energy dissipation; conducts brief high-di/dt pulses during MOSFET turn-off. Use Value: 220 A non-repetitive surge rating (1 ms) absorbs single-event spikes without degradation, extending MOSFET lifetime. | Use Scenario: Dynamic braking path for 24 V DC brushed motors in factory automation systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Regenerative energy return diode routing back EMF into supply rail during deceleration. Use Value: -55°C to +175°C operating range ensures functionality during cold-start and hot-soak conditions in enclosed control cabinets. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH4L06D | Same DO-201AD package; trr = 55 ns (slower), VF = 1.3 V @ 4 A | Marginally higher conduction loss; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Acceptable for industrial non-automotive use where qualification is not mandated. |
| ES4D-E3/57T | DO-214AA (SMA) package; trr = 35 ns (faster), IF(AV) = 4.0 A, VF = 1.25 V | Smaller footprint but lower thermal mass; RthJA = 45 °C/W vs. 30 °C/W for MUR460-T | Preferred for high-density layouts where board space is critical and thermal derating is managed. |
Compared with STTH4L06D and ES4D-E3/57T, MUR460-T uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, 50 ns recovery, and DO-201AD thermal performance-making it optimal for automotive and high-reliability industrial rectification where qualification and thermal margin are jointly required.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for MUR460-T?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +175°C, with continuous operation supported from -55°C to +175°C. Derating curves confirm 4.0 A average current is sustainable only when lead temperature remains ≤120°C-requiring appropriate PCB copper area or thermal relief design to maintain this limit.
Is MUR460-T suitable for use in synchronous rectification topologies?
No-MUR460-T is a passive diode and cannot be actively controlled like a MOSFET. It serves as a freewheeling or clamp diode in non-synchronous designs. For synchronous rectification, discrete N-channel MOSFETs with gate drivers are required; this part replaces them only in legacy or cost-optimized non-synchronous implementations.
How does the DO-201AD package affect thermal performance compared to SMD alternatives?
DO-201AD offers superior thermal conduction to PCB copper via axial leads (RthJL = 11 °C/W), outperforming most SMD packages like SMA (RthJA ≈ 45 °C/W). However, it requires through-hole mounting and occupies more board area-making it ideal for high-power through-hole designs where thermal density outweighs layout constraints.
Does MUR460-T require derating when operated at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes-derating is mandatory above 25°C ambient. Figure 6 shows peak surge current drops from 220 A at 25°C to 150 A at 125°C. For continuous operation, Figure 1 mandates linear reduction from 4.0 A at 120°C lead temperature to zero at 175°C-so ambient temperature rise must be managed via thermal design to avoid exceeding TL limits.
