Product details
Overview
MURF1660CT from Taiwan Semiconductor is an AEC-Q101-qualified ultra-fast recovery dual-diode rectifier in ITO-220AB package, rated for 16A average forward current, 600V repetitive peak reverse voltage, and 50ns reverse recovery time at 125°C junction temperature; used in automotive-grade DC-DC converters and switching inverters requiring high-voltage freewheeling capability.
For engineers reviewing the MURF1660CT datasheet, MURF1660CT pinout, MURF1660CT application, or MURF1660CT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600V VRRM, 100A IFSM, 2°C/W RθJC, AEC-Q101 qualification, and dual-die configuration in ITO-220AB - all critical for high-reliability power conversion designs.
Technical Context
The MURF1660CT integrates two independent ultra-fast recovery silicon diodes in a single ITO-220AB thermally optimized package, with junction-to-case thermal resistance of 2°C/W enabling high-power dissipation in compact layouts. Its 600V VRRM and 50ns trr at 125°C support high-frequency switching topologies up to several hundred kHz.
Designed for automotive and industrial applications, the device features glass-passivated chip junctions, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and UL 94V-0 molding compound. Polarity is marked on the case, and it meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - supports primary-side rectification in 400–600V bus systems without derating |
| IF | 16 A - continuous DC forward current rating at TC = 110°C per diode |
| IFSM | 100 A - surge withstand for 8.3ms half-sine, enabling robust start-up and fault handling |
| trr | 50 ns - ultra-fast recovery minimizes switching losses in >100 kHz SMPS designs |
| RθJC | 2 °C/W - low thermal resistance allows direct heatsink mounting with minimal thermal interface resistance |
| VF @ 8A, 125°C | 1.20 V - forward drop impacts conduction loss and thermal design at elevated operating temperatures |
| IR @ 600V, 125°C | 500 µA - low leakage preserves efficiency in high-temperature, high-voltage hold-off conditions |
Pinout & Package
Package: ITO-220AB - thermally enhanced 3-terminal through-hole package with isolated collector tab (Case), rated for 0.56 N·m mounting torque and UL Recognized (E-326243). Dual-diode configuration shares common cathode or anode depending on internal layout; polarity marked on device body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Tab (Case) | Common Cathode (per datasheet marking diagram and dual-die topology) | Electrically connected to both diode cathodes; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless circuit requires common-cathode reference |
| Lead 1 | Anode 1 | Independent anode terminal for first diode; enables dual-output or interleaved rectifier configurations |
| Lead 2 | Anode 2 | Independent anode terminal for second diode; supports parallel operation or dual-channel freewheeling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive power electronics per stress test requirements including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling |
| Ultra-fast 50 ns trr | Reduces reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and associated switching losses in high-frequency converters |
| High-temperature glass passivation | Enables stable operation up to 150°C junction temperature with reduced surface leakage and long-term reliability |
| UL Recognized (E-326243) | Confirms flammability (UL 94V-0), electrical insulation, and construction compliance for safety-critical end equipment |
| Dual-die ITO-220AB | Provides two independent 16A/600V rectifiers in one footprint, reducing board area vs. discrete solutions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast dual-diode rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1606D | 600V VRRM, 16A IF, 55ns trr, TO-220AC package (single cathode, not dual-anode) | Single-diode configuration requires two devices for dual-anode function; higher RθJC (3.5°C/W) | Select when layout permits separate devices and lower cost outweighs board space penalty |
| IXYS MUR1660CT | Identical ratings (600V/16A/50ns), same ITO-220AB dual-anode pinout, but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial only where AEC-Q101 is not mandated | Select for non-automotive applications needing identical performance without qualification overhead |
Compared with STTH1606D and IXYS MUR1660CT, the MURF1660CT uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, dual-anode ITO-220AB packaging, and 2°C/W thermal resistance - making it the only option for space-constrained, thermally demanding automotive DC-DC modules requiring single-device dual-channel rectification.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of the MURF1660CT?
The MURF1660CT uses an ITO-220AB package with three terminals: Tab (common cathode), Lead 1 (Anode 1), and Lead 2 (Anode 2). Polarity is marked on the device body, and the tab must be electrically isolated unless the circuit design explicitly requires common-cathode connection. This dual-anode configuration is confirmed in the official TSC datasheet Version K2105.
Is the MURF1660CT AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, the "H" suffix in MURF1660CT explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification per the ordering information table in the TSC datasheet. It has passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling - validating suitability for automotive power electronics applications.
What is the maximum junction temperature for the MURF1660CT?
The MURF1660CT has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of +150°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating applies across the full operating range and is supported by its glass-passivated junction and UL 94V-0 molding compound, enabling reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments.
How does the thermal performance of the MURF1660CT compare to similar rectifiers?
The MURF1660CT achieves a junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of 2°C/W - lower than standard TO-220AC devices (typically 3.0–3.5°C/W). This 30–40% improvement allows higher power density in thermally constrained layouts and reduces heatsink requirements when mounted directly to a chassis or heatsink.
What is the reverse recovery time of the MURF1660CT at elevated temperature?
The MURF1660CT has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 50 ns under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A, and TJ = 125°C, as measured per the test circuit in Figure 6 of the TSC datasheet. This value remains stable across temperature due to its ultra-fast silicon process and optimized doping profile.
