Product details
Overview
S12GC R7G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 12A, 400V surface-mount glass-passivated silicon rectifier diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, featuring low forward voltage drop (≤1.1 V at 12 A), high surge current capability (300 A), and junction temperature rating up to +150°C - deployed in AC/DC front-end stages of compact switching mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the S12GC R7G datasheet, S12GC R7G pinout, S12GC R7G application, or S12GC R7G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (400 V), thermal resistance (RθJL = 9 °C/W), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This single-die standard recovery rectifier operates with a maximum junction temperature of +150°C and exhibits a typical junction capacitance of 78 pF at 1 MHz and 4.0 V reverse bias. Its low forward voltage drop and high IFSM support efficient energy conversion in high-frequency SMPS topologies.
The device uses glass passivation for junction protection, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability, and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Polarity is marked by a cathode band on the DO-214AB molded case.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IF (Avg) | 12 A - continuous forward current rating defines usable output power capacity in rectification stage |
| VRRM | 400 V - peak reverse blocking voltage determines maximum AC input voltage compatibility |
| IFSM | 300 A - non-repetitive surge rating enables robustness against line transients and startup inrush |
| VF @ 12 A | ≤1.1 V - low conduction loss reduces thermal stress and improves system efficiency |
| RθJL | 9 °C/W - low junction-to-lead thermal resistance supports direct PCB copper heatsinking |
| MSL | Level 1 - no floor life limitation; suitable for standard reflow without dry-pack requirements |
| CJ | 78 pF - junction capacitance impacts EMI filtering design and high-frequency switching behavior |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AB (SMC), molded epoxy case with UL 94V-0 rating, cathode indicated by band, matte tin-plated leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 1) | Input terminal for positive half-cycle conduction | Connected to AC input or transformer secondary; requires adequate trace width for 12 A continuous current |
| Cathode (Lead 2) | Output terminal for rectified DC path | Connected to bulk capacitor or downstream converter; polarity marking critical for correct orientation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated junction | Enhances long-term reliability under humidity and thermal cycling vs. epoxy-passivated alternatives |
| Low VF (≤1.1 V @ 12 A) | Reduces conduction losses by ~15% compared to legacy 1.3 V rectifiers at same current |
| High IFSM (300 A) | Withstands 60-Hz line surges up to 3.5 cycles without degradation - critical for universal-input adapters |
| MSL Level 1 | Eliminates bake-out and dry-pack handling; compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles |
| Halogen-free & RoHS | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU for green manufacturing compliance |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH12R06DJF | 600 V VRRM, TO-220AC package, VF = 1.15 V @ 12 A, RθJA = 30 °C/W | Higher voltage rating but through-hole; less suited for high-density SMT layouts | Choose when higher reverse margin or legacy board compatibility is required |
| ON Semi MUR1240CT | 400 V VRRM, TO-220AB dual common-cathode, VF = 1.2 V @ 12 A, IFSM = 200 A | Dual-diode configuration enables center-tapped or full-bridge use; lower surge rating | Prefer when dual-diode functionality or existing TO-220 footprint reuse is needed |
Compared with STTH12R06DJF and MUR1240CT, the S12GC R7G offers superior SMT manufacturability (DO-214AB, MSL 1), lower thermal resistance to lead, and optimized cost-per-watt for space-constrained 400 V SMPS designs - though it lacks dual-diode integration or extended voltage headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the S12GC R7G?
The S12GC R7G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, enabling operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed LED drivers or industrial power supplies. This rating is validated per JEDEC test conditions and must be maintained via proper PCB thermal design using the specified RθJL = 9 °C/W path. Exceeding this limit risks irreversible parametric shift or failure.
Does the S12GC R7G meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the S12GC R7G is fully RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. These certifications are confirmed in TSC's official product documentation (Version D2102) and verified through material declarations. The device contains no brominated flame retardants, chlorine, or fluorine above threshold limits.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of the S12GC R7G?
The S12GC R7G is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life and does not require dry packing or baking prior to reflow soldering. This simplifies SMT line logistics and eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk during standard lead-free reflow profiles.
How is polarity indicated on the S12GC R7G package?
Polarity on the S12GC R7G is indicated by a visible cathode band printed on the DO-214AB (SMC) molded case - the banded end corresponds to the cathode terminal (Lead 2). This marking aligns with industry-standard diode orientation and must be verified during placement to prevent reverse-bias failure in circuit operation.
What is the typical junction capacitance of the S12GC R7G and where is it measured?
The S12GC R7G has a typical junction capacitance (CJ) of 78 pF, measured at 1 MHz and 4.0 V reverse bias (VR) per the manufacturer's electrical specifications table. This value influences high-frequency switching noise and EMI filter design, particularly in PFC and resonant converter applications where diode capacitance interacts with snubber networks.
