Product details
Overview
PUUP8B from Taiwan Semiconductor is an ultra-fast surface-mount rectifier diode with 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 8 A average forward current (IF), and 25 ns reverse recovery time (trr), designed for high-frequency switching in DC/DC converters and snubber circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PUUP8B datasheet, PUUP8B pinout, PUUP8B application, or PUUP8B equivalent, key selection criteria include its TO-277A (SMPC4.6U) wettable flank package, 0.88 V forward voltage at 8 A/25°C, 200 A surge rating, 175°C max junction temperature, and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Technical Context
The PUUP8B is a single-die planar silicon rectifier optimized for fast switching with low Qrr (89 nC) and low trr (25–31 ns), enabling reduced switching losses in high-frequency topologies. Its thermal resistance RθJL is 2.0°C/W with ideal heatsinking, and RθJA is 48.7°C/W on a 16 mm × 16 mm PCB copper pad.
It operates across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature range, features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and meets UL 94V-0 flammability and IEC 61249-2-21 halogen-free requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating ceiling in DC/DC input or snubber clamp applications |
| IF | 8 A - Continuous average forward current at TL = 115°C; determines steady-state power handling in rectification paths |
| trr | 25 ns - Measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables >1 MHz switching without excessive turn-off loss |
| VF | 0.88 V @ 8 A, 25°C - Forward conduction loss baseline; directly impacts efficiency and thermal design in high-current paths |
| Qrr | 89 nC - Reverse recovery charge; lower value reduces diode-induced EMI and switching stress on MOSFETs in synchronous designs |
| RθJL | 2.0 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance with ideal heatsink; supports compact thermal management in space-constrained layouts |
| IFSM | 200 A @ t = 8.3 ms - Non-repetitive surge capability; withstands inrush and fault currents in industrial power supplies |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-8EWH01-M3/45 | 100 V VRRM, 8 A IF, trr = 35 ns, TO-277A package, but higher VF (0.95 V @ 8 A) | Slightly slower recovery increases switching loss in >600 kHz designs | Acceptable where lower cost or existing Vishay qualification outweighs 10 ns trr penalty |
| ON Semiconductor MUR8100CT | Dual common-cathode configuration in TO-220AC, not surface-mount; VF = 0.98 V @ 8 A, trr = 50 ns | Through-hole mounting and larger footprint limit use in high-density SMT designs | Only viable if board redesign accommodates through-hole and thermal mass constraints permit |
Compared with VS-8EWH01-M3/45 and MUR8100CT, the PUUP8B delivers superior high-frequency performance due to its 25 ns trr and 0.88 V VF, while maintaining full SMT compatibility and wettable flank AOI capability in the TO-277A package.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the PUUP8B?
The PUUP8B has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +175°C, allowing reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial power supplies and motor drive control units. This rating is supported by its planar silicon construction and TO-277A package thermal performance, and must be maintained within derating curves shown in the PUUP8B datasheet Figure 1.
Does the PUUP8B have wettable flank leads for automated optical inspection?
Yes, the PUUP8B features wettable flank leads as specified in its mechanical data, enabling reliable solder joint inspection using automated optical inspection (AOI) systems. This design supports high-yield SMT assembly in automotive and industrial manufacturing, and complies with IPC-A-610 Class 2/3 requirements when processed per J-STD-002.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of the PUUP8B under standard test conditions?
The PUUP8B has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 25 ns when tested at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. An alternate condition yields 31 ns (IF = 1.0 A, di/dt = 50 A/µs, VR = 30 V). These values are confirmed in the PUUP8B electrical specifications table and reflect its ultra-fast switching capability.
Is the PUUP8B RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the PUUP8B is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Its molding compound and plating meet environmental compliance standards required for commercial and industrial electronics, and it carries no substance restrictions beyond those defined in EU Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709.
What does the marking code "PU8BH" indicate on the PUUP8B device body?
The marking code "PU8BH" on the PUUP8B device body identifies the specific variant within the PUUP8x family, confirming it is the 100 V version (as opposed to PU8DH for 200 V). This laser-marked code, along with date and factory codes, enables traceability and ensures correct identification during assembly and field service of the PUUP8B.
