Product details
Overview
MURS120 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0A surface-mount super-fast rectifier diode with 200V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 25ns reverse recovery time, and glass-passivated die construction-designed for high-frequency switching power supplies, DC-DC converters, and automotive auxiliary power rails where fast recovery and surge robustness are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MURS120 datasheet, MURS120 pinout, MURS120 application, or MURS120 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40A non-repetitive surge rating, 0.875V forward voltage at 1.0A/25°C, SMB package thermal resistance of 15°C/W, and AEC-Q101 readiness for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
This discrete silicon planar epitaxial super-fast rectifier uses a PN junction optimized for low Qrr and minimal tail current, enabling efficient operation in 100–500kHz SMPS topologies. Its 25ns tRR and 27pF typical junction capacitance support reduced switching losses and EMI in compact power stages.
The device operates across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature, with thermal performance validated on 5.0mm² copper pads (RθJT = 15°C/W), and features cathode-band polarity marking and matte tin lead finish compliant with RoHS 3 and halogen-free "Green" standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Reverse Voltage | 200 V - supports 170VAC input rectification with safety margin |
| Forward Current (Avg) | 1.0 A - rated for continuous conduction in 12V/24V DC-DC output stages |
| Reverse Recovery Time | 25 ns - enables high-frequency operation without excessive switching loss |
| Forward Voltage | 0.875 V @ 1.0A/25°C - reduces conduction loss vs. standard FR diodes |
| Surge Current | 40 A (8.3ms) - withstands cold-start inrush and load-dump transients |
| Junction Temp Range | –55°C to +175°C - qualified for engine bay and industrial ambient environments |
| Thermal Resistance | 15 °C/W (Junction-to-Terminal) - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount molded plastic case with UL 94V-0 rating, cathode band polarity marking, and matte tin-plated terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.

|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal during forward conduction | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., transformer secondary center-tap or switch node) |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal during forward conduction; marked with band/notch | Connected to output filter capacitor or positive rail; defines polarity in layout |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L06U | Same 200V VRRM, 1.0A IO, but 35ns tRR and higher VF (0.95V) | Higher conduction loss; less suitable for >250kHz designs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets in <200kHz applications |
| ON Semi MUR120 | Identical electrical specs, but legacy DO-41 through-hole package | Requires wave-solder process and larger PCB real estate | Select only for legacy through-hole production or manual repair scenarios |
Compared with STTH1L06U and MUR120, the MURS120 delivers superior high-frequency efficiency due to its 25ns recovery and lower VF, while its SMB package enables automated SMT assembly and better thermal coupling to PCB copper than DO-41 alternatives.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable PCB pad size for optimal thermal performance of MURS120?
The datasheet specifies thermal resistance validation using 5.0mm² (0.013mm thick) copper pads as heatsink. Increasing pad area beyond this provides diminishing returns; however, extending copper to ≥10mm² with thermal vias to inner ground planes can further reduce junction temperature by up to 15°C under full 1.0A load at +135°C ambient.
Does MURS120 meet AEC-Q101 requirements out-of-the-box?
MURS120 is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation, but formal AEC-Q101 qualification requires customer-specific test plans and lot-level stress testing. Diodes provides AEC-Q101-ready data packages upon request for automotive program integration.
Can MURS120 replace standard FR107 diodes in existing designs?
Yes-MURS120 offers identical 1.0A/1000V ratings as FR107 but with significantly faster 25ns recovery (vs. 500ns) and lower VF. Layout compatibility is maintained since both use SMB packages; however, verify snubber network values due to reduced Qrr and faster switching edge rates.
Is the 27pF junction capacitance measured under reverse bias conditions?
Yes-the 27pF typical capacitance is measured at 1.0MHz with 4V DC reverse bias applied, per Note 6 in the datasheet. This value remains stable below 100V reverse voltage and directly impacts high-frequency ringing and EMI filter design in switching nodes.
