Product details
Overview
MURS140-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0A surface-mount super-fast rectifier diode with 400V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 50ns reverse recovery time, and 1.25V forward voltage at 1.0A/25°C, designed for high-frequency switching power supplies, DC-DC converters, and freewheeling applications.
For engineers reviewing the MURS140-13 datasheet, MURS140-13 pinout, MURS140-13 application, or MURS140-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SMB package thermal resistance (13 K/W), glass-passivated die construction, surge rating of 35A (8.3ms half-sine), and suitability for automated SMT assembly with UL 94V-0 molded plastic case.
Technical Context
This super-fast rectifier employs a planar epitaxial silicon junction with glass passivation to achieve low trr (50 ns) and stable IRM (5.0 µA at 25°C), enabling efficient operation in high-frequency flyback and forward converter topologies where rapid turn-off minimizes switching losses.
Its thermal design relies on PCB copper pad heat sinking (5.0 mm², 0.013 mm thick), supporting 1.0A average output current at terminal temperature up to 150°C, with derating required for capacitive loads (–20% current rating).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage the diode withstands without breakdown during transient conditions. |
| IO @ TT=150°C | 1.0 A - Continuous average forward current sustainable with proper PCB thermal management at 150°C terminal temperature. |
| VFM @ 1.0A/25°C | 1.25 V - Forward conduction loss per diode at rated DC current, directly impacting efficiency in high-current paths. |
| trr | 50 ns - Time required for reverse recovery; critical for minimizing switching losses in >100 kHz SMPS designs. |
| IFSM | 35 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current capability (8.3 ms half-sine), supporting inrush and fault tolerance. |
| RJT | 13 K/W - Junction-to-terminal thermal resistance; defines temperature rise per watt dissipated under PCB pad heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, cathode-banded polarity, UL 94V-0 molded plastic case, solderable terminals per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side of load or switch node; must handle full IO and IFSM stress. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked with band; connects to higher-potential rail; sustains full VRRM during off-state in buck/flyback outputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated die | Enhances long-term reliability and moisture resistance in humid or thermally cycled environments. |
| Super-fast 50 ns trr | Reduces reverse recovery charge (Qrr), lowering EMI and conduction losses in high-frequency converters. |
| SMB package with 13 K/W RJT | Enables compact layout while maintaining thermal performance comparable to larger SMC packages. |
| 35A surge rating (JEDEC) | Supports robust operation during input line surges or output short-circuit events without failure. |
Applications
| AC-DC Adapter Secondary Rectification | DC-DC Converter Freewheeling Diode |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 20–65W offline AC-DC adapters with 60–130 kHz flyback topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path converting transformer AC output to regulated DC; conducts during MOSFET off-time. Use Value: 50 ns trr minimizes switching loss and ringing, improving efficiency by ~0.8% vs. standard fast rectifiers at 100 kHz. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path in synchronous-buck or boost converters powering FPGA core rails (1.2–3.3V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss current recirculation path when main switch turns off; blocks reverse voltage during on-time. Use Value: 1.25V VFM at 1A ensures <1.25W conduction loss at full load, reducing thermal load on compact PCB layouts. |
| Automotive LED Driver Output Stage | Industrial Sensor Power Supply Clamp |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in 12V-input LED drivers for cabin lighting with PWM dimming up to 2 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Converts switched transformer output to stable DC for LED strings; handles repetitive 35A surge during cold-crank transients. Use Value: Glass passivation and –65°C to +175°C operating range ensure reliability across automotive temperature extremes. | Use Scenario: Reverse-polarity and transient clamp in 24V industrial sensor modules with ±2kV ESD immunity requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as low-leakage (5 µA @ 25°C) blocking diode in supply rail protection circuitry. Use Value: 400V VRRM provides margin above 24V system transients (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2), preventing latch-up during load dump. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R04U | Same SMB package, 400V VRRM, but trr = 35 ns and VFM = 1.30 V @ 1A/25°C. | Better recovery speed but higher forward loss; preferred in >200 kHz designs where Qrr dominates efficiency. | Select when trr < 40 ns is mandatory and thermal headroom allows higher VFM. |
| ES1D-E3/61T | Same SMB package, 200V VRRM, trr = 35 ns, VFM = 1.7 V @ 1A/25°C. | Limited to ≤200V systems; higher VFM increases conduction loss but offers faster recovery than MURS140-13. | Use only in low-voltage (<200V) high-frequency applications where 400V rating is unnecessary. |
Compared with STTH1R04U and ES1D-E3/61T, MURS140-13 delivers optimal balance of 400V rating, 50 ns trr, and 1.25V VFM for cost-sensitive 60–150 kHz power supplies requiring robust surge handling and wide temperature operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for MURS140-13?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +175°C, validated per JEDEC standards. Operation at this limit requires strict adherence to thermal design rules: 5.0 mm² copper pad heatsink, no airflow restriction, and derating IO to ≤0.6A at TT = 150°C per Figure 1 in DS30130 Rev. 5.
Can MURS140-13 replace a standard FR107 in a 65W laptop adapter?
Yes - MURS140-13 offers superior performance: 50 ns trr vs. FR107's 500 ns, reducing switching loss by ~35%, and 1.25V VFM vs. FR107's 1.3V. Its SMB footprint is compatible with FR107's DO-41 through-hole mount only with adapter board; direct SMT replacement requires layout revision.
Is MURS140-13 compliant with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - it meets J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) and supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds. The solder-plated terminals comply with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-006B and are qualified for Pb-free SAC305 alloy processes.
Does the cathode marking on MURS140-13 indicate polarity for PCB silkscreen alignment?
Yes - the cathode is marked with a distinct band on the black molded case, aligning with standard PCB silkscreen "K" or "CATH" indicators. Correct orientation is critical: anode must connect toward lower potential (e.g., transformer secondary center-tap or switch node), cathode toward output capacitor positive.
