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 tRR 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 |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Withstands peak reverse transients in 400V DC bus systems without breakdown |
| IO | 1.0 A @ TC = +130°C - Continuous rectified current capability under high-temperature PCB mounting |
| tRR | 50 ns - Enables high-frequency operation up to ~500 kHz with minimal switching loss |
| VFM | 1.25 V @ IF = 1.0A, TJ = +25°C - Low conduction loss improves efficiency in low-voltage output stages |
| IFSM | 35 A - Handles inrush and transient surges common in automotive cold-crank and load-dump conditions |
| RθJC | 18 °C/W - Allows direct thermal coupling to copper pour or heatsink for sustained 1A operation |
| CT | 13 pF @ 1 MHz, 4V - Minimizes capacitive coupling noise in EMI-sensitive flyback snubber networks |

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 VRRM, but 650ns tRR; higher VF (1.7V @ 1A); TO-277 package | Larger footprint; less suitable for high-frequency designs >100kHz | Select only if thermal budget allows higher VF and layout permits TO-277 pitch |
| SB160-E3/54 | 60V VRRM, Schottky architecture; 0.72V VF; 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 TC = +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.
