Product details

Overview

MURS160A-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0A, 600V super-fast recovery surface-mount rectifier diode in SMA package, featuring 50ns reverse recovery time, 1.25V forward voltage at 1.0A, and 35A non-repetitive surge rating-designed for high-frequency switching power supplies and automotive auxiliary power conversion.

For engineers reviewing the MURS160A-13 datasheet, MURS160A-13 pinout, MURS160A-13 application, or MURS160A-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (600V), thermal resistance (18°C/W), junction-to-case thermal performance, RoHS-compliant lead-free plating, and AEC-Q101 suitability for automotive-grade power rectification.

Technical Context

This super-fast rectifier employs glass-passivated die construction to ensure stable reverse leakage (<5µA @ 25°C) and robust surge tolerance (35A, 8.3ms half-sine). Its 50ns t_RR enables efficient operation in 100–500kHz SMPS topologies where switching losses must be minimized.

The SMA package provides low thermal resistance (18°C/W junction-to-case) and supports automated reflow assembly with J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity. Cathode band polarity marking and 94V-0 flammability-rated molded plastic housing meet industrial and automotive mechanical reliability requirements.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_RRM	600 V - Withstands peak reverse transients in 400V DC bus systems without breakdown
I_O	1.0 A @ T_C = +130°C - Continuous rectified current capability under high-temperature PCB mounting
t_RR	50 ns - Enables high-frequency operation up to ~500 kHz with minimal switching loss
V_FM	1.25 V @ I_F = 1.0A, T_J = +25°C - Low conduction loss improves efficiency in low-voltage output stages
I_FSM	35 A - Handles inrush and transient surges common in automotive cold-crank and load-dump conditions
R_θJC	18 °C/W - Allows direct thermal coupling to copper pour or heatsink for sustained 1A operation
C_T	13 pF @ 1 MHz, 4V - Minimizes capacitive coupling noise in EMI-sensitive flyback snubber networks

Pinout & Package

SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package: molded plastic case, cathode band polarity marking, matte tin lead-free terminals, 0.069g mass, UL 94V-0 rated, J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier in synchronous or quasi-resonant flyback topology.

Use Value: 50ns t_RR minimizes cross-conduction loss during MOSFET dead-time; 600V rating accommodates 100V+ transients per ISO 7637-2.

Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 24V/48V telecom or factory automation PSUs.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast recovery diode in active-clamp forward or LLC resonant converter output stage.

Use Value: 1.25V V_FM reduces conduction loss at full load; 18°C/W R_θJC enables compact heatsinking on 2oz copper PCBs.

LED Driver Power Stage

Consumer AC-DC Adapter

Use Scenario: High-efficiency rectification in constant-current LED driver for streetlight or commercial lighting.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side boost PFC or secondary-side buck-derived rectifier.

Use Value: Low 13pF capacitance suppresses high-frequency ringing in PWM dimming circuits; RoHS/Green compliance meets global lighting regulations.

Use Value: 1.0A I_O supports continuous 10W output at 5V/2A; automated assembly compatibility reduces SMT line setup cost.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super-fast rectifier applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STTH1L60S	Same 600V V_RRM, but 650ns t_RR; higher V_F (1.7V @ 1A); TO-277 package	Larger footprint; less suitable for high-frequency designs >100kHz	Select only if thermal budget allows higher V_F and layout permits TO-277 pitch
SB160-E3/54	60V V_RRM, Schottky architecture; 0.72V V_F; no reverse recovery	Not rated for 400V bus systems; limited to ≤60V output rails	Use only in low-voltage, low-loss applications where 600V blocking is unnecessary

Compared with STTH1L60S and SB160-E3/54, MURS160A-13 uniquely balances 600V blocking, 50ns speed, and SMA footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-frequency automotive and industrial SMPS where both voltage margin and switching loss matter.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating junction temperature for MURS160A-13?

The MURS160A-13 has a specified operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. Its 18°C/W thermal resistance enables reliable 1.0A operation at T_C = +130°C, provided sufficient PCB copper area or heatsinking is used per Diodes' recommended pad layout.

Is MURS160A-13 qualified for automotive applications?

Yes-MURS160A-13 is AEC-Q101 qualified, manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities, and supports PPAP documentation. It meets automotive change control requirements and is explicitly recommended for body control modules, infotainment power supplies, and ADAS auxiliary rails.

Does MURS160A-13 have a cathode band marking?

Yes-the cathode terminal is clearly marked by a visible band on the SMA package body. This band aligns with the cathode symbol in the top-view marking diagram (green U1J code) and must be oriented toward the positive output node during PCB layout.

What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of MURS160A-13?

MURS160A-13 has a moisture sensitivity level of MSL 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions (≤30°C/60% RH) without baking prior to reflow. No floor life limitation applies, simplifying SMT line handling and inventory management.
