Product details
Overview
MURS120-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount ultrafast recovery rectifier diode rated for 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 1 A average forward current, and 35 ns reverse recovery time, used in high-frequency switching power supplies and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the MURS120-13 datasheet, MURS120-13 pinout, MURS120-13 application, or MURS120-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery time, forward voltage drop at 1 A, thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W), junction-to-case thermal path, and SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This diode employs a planar epitaxial construction with optimized carrier lifetime control to achieve ultrafast recovery performance. Its low Qrr (typ. 15 nC) and soft recovery waveform reduce EMI and switching losses in flyback and forward converter topologies.
The device operates with a maximum junction temperature of 175 °C and exhibits a typical forward voltage of 0.92 V at IF = 1 A and TJ = 25 °C. It is designed for unidirectional current conduction in secondary-side rectification and freewheeling paths where speed and efficiency are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage the diode withstands without breakdown during transient conditions. |
| IF(AV) | 1 A - Continuous average forward current rating under specified thermal conditions (TC = 75 °C). |
| trr | 35 ns - Measured reverse recovery time at IF = 0.5 A, di/dt = 100 A/μs, TJ = 25 °C; enables operation up to ~500 kHz switching frequency. |
| VF | 0.92 V @ 1 A - Forward voltage drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal load in high-duty-cycle applications. |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in standard FR-4 PCB layout (1 cm² copper pad); defines required board-level heatsinking. |
| TJ(max) | 175 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; sets upper limit for ambient + self-heating design margin. |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., transformer secondary center-tap or switch node return path). |
| Cathode (K) | Forward current exit point | Connected to output rail or filter capacitor positive terminal; polarity marking essential for correct orientation in layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultrafast recovery time | 35 ns - Reduces switching loss and EMI generation in high-frequency SMPS designs. |
| Low forward voltage | 0.92 V @ 1 A - Minimizes conduction loss and improves system efficiency at full load. |
| SMB package compatibility | JEDEC DO-214AA footprint - Enables automated placement and reflow soldering with industry-standard pick-and-place equipment. |
| High junction temperature rating | 175 °C - Supports reliable operation in thermally constrained environments such as enclosed power adapters. |
Applications
| AC-DC Adapter Secondary Rectification | DC-DC Converter Freewheeling Diode |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 12 V/1 A output stage in compact wall-wart adapters operating at 100–300 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current rectifier converting transformer AC output to regulated DC; replaces slower general-purpose diodes to improve efficiency. Use Value: 35 ns trr reduces reverse recovery loss by >40% vs. standard 1N4007, lowering thermal stress on PCB. | Use Scenario: Output stage of isolated 5 V/2 A buck-derived DC-DC module for industrial IoT sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling path for inductor current during high-side switch off-time; requires fast turn-off to prevent cross-conduction. Use Value: Soft recovery characteristic suppresses voltage spikes across MOSFET drain, eliminating need for snubber networks. |
| Automotive LED Driver Output Rectifier | USB-C PD Power Path Protection |
Use Scenario: Constant-current LED driver in automotive cabin lighting with 12 V input and 36 V string output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier in flyback topology; must survive load dump transients up to 40 V and operate at -40 to +125 °C ambient. Use Value: 200 V VRRM provides 5× safety margin over 12 V nominal bus, enabling robustness against ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a. | Use Scenario: Reverse-polarity and backfeed protection in dual-input USB-C PD power banks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OR-ing diode between two 20 V PD inputs; blocks reverse current while minimizing forward drop. Use Value: 0.92 V VF limits power dissipation to <1 W at 1 A, avoiding thermal derating in space-constrained battery packs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R02U | Same VRRM (200 V), slightly higher trr (50 ns), higher VF (0.95 V @ 1 A) | Higher recovery loss in >300 kHz designs; less suitable for compact adapters | Prefer MURS120-13 when minimizing EMI and thermal footprint is critical |
| ES1D-E3/57T | Lower VRRM (200 V same), identical trr (35 ns), but higher RθJA (90 °C/W) | Requires larger copper area for same thermal performance; less board-area efficient | Choose MURS120-13 for tighter thermal constraints or smaller PCB real estate |
Compared with STTH1R02U and ES1D-E3/57T, MURS120-13 delivers superior thermal efficiency (75 °C/W) and lowest conduction loss (0.92 V), making it optimal for space- and thermally constrained 1 A ultrafast rectification where EMI reduction is prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable surge current (IFSM) for MURS120-13?
The MURS120-13 has a peak non-repetitive forward surge current rating of 25 A (half-sine wave, 1 cycle, TJ = 25 °C). This value supports brief inrush events during cold-start of power supplies but must not be exceeded in repetitive operation or sustained overload conditions.
Is MURS120-13 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, MURS120-13 is RoHS compliant per Directive 2011/65/EU and meets Diodes Incorporated's halogen-free standard (≤900 ppm bromine, ≤900 ppm chlorine, total halogens ≤1500 ppm), verified per JEDEC J-STD-709B test methods.
Can MURS120-13 replace a 1N4937 in a 12 V/1 A power supply?
No - the 1N4937 is a general-purpose 1 A/600 V rectifier with trr > 200 ns. Replacing it with MURS120-13 (200 V/35 ns) improves efficiency and EMI but requires verifying that 200 V VRRM meets worst-case transient voltage margins in the specific design.
What is the typical reverse leakage current (IR) at 25 °C and 150 °C?
At 25 °C and VR = 200 V, IR is typically 0.1 μA (max 5 μA). At 150 °C and same voltage, it rises to typ. 10 μA (max 100 μA), reflecting expected thermal behavior of silicon PN junctions under reverse bias.
