Product details
Overview
SF15G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 A, 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) super fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-204AL (DO-41) package, featuring 35 ns reverse recovery time (trr), 1.30 V forward voltage at 1 A and 25°C, and 10 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz/4 V - used in switching-mode DC-DC converters and freewheeling paths.
For engineers reviewing the SF15G datasheet, SF15G pinout, SF15G application, or SF15G equivalent, key selection considerations include its 400 V VRRM, 35 ns trr, 1.30 V VF at rated current, thermal resistance of 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead), and AEC-Q101 qualification availability in H-suffix variants.
Technical Context
The SF15G is a single-die, planar passivated silicon super fast rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications where low forward voltage and rapid reverse recovery are critical to minimize conduction and switching losses. Its 35 ns trr enables efficient operation in 100 kHz–500 kHz SMPS topologies.
With a maximum junction temperature of 150°C, RθJL = 20 °C/W, and IFSM = 30 A (8.3 ms half-sine), the SF15G supports robust surge handling and thermal management in compact layouts without forced cooling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - supports input stages up to 280 V DC bus or 200 V AC-derived rails with margin |
| IF | 1 A continuous average forward current - suitable for low-to-medium power outputs (≤15 W typical) |
| trr | 35 ns - enables high-frequency operation with minimal switching loss in flyback and forward converters |
| VF | 1.30 V @ 1 A, 25°C - reduces conduction loss vs. standard rectifiers (e.g., 1N4007: ~1.1 V but slower) |
| CJ | 10 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - limits capacitive coupling noise in high-dv/dt gate-drive or snubber circuits |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - allows direct PCB copper pour heatsinking for thermal stability without external heatsinks |
Pinout & Package
DO-204AL (DO-41) axial-leaded package with cathode band marking; leads are pure tin-plated, solderable per J-STD-002, and meet JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in flyback secondary, ground return in freewheeling) |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked by band; connects to output rail or positive bus - blocks 400 V reverse during off-state |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Super fast recovery (trr ≤ 35 ns) | Reduces switching loss and EMI in >100 kHz converters compared to general-purpose rectifiers |
| Low forward voltage (VF = 1.30 V) | Improves efficiency in low-voltage output stages (e.g., 5 V/1 A DC-DC) versus 1N540x series |
| AEC-Q101 qualification option (SF15GH) | Validated for automotive under-hood ambient conditions (−40°C to +125°C case temp) |
| RoHS & halogen-free compliance | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and global environmental regulations for industrial and consumer end equipment |
Applications
| DC-DC Converters | Switching Inverters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated flyback or forward converters delivering 3.3–12 V at ≤1 A. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path enabling synchronous or diode-based output rectification. Use Value: 35 ns trr minimizes reverse recovery charge loss, improving efficiency by ~2–3% over 1N4937 at 250 kHz. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path across inductive loads (e.g., motor windings, solenoids) in H-bridge inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss current recirculation during PWM off-time to suppress voltage spikes. Use Value: 1.30 V VF limits power dissipation to <1.3 W at 1 A, reducing thermal stress on PCB layout. |
| AC-DC Adapters | Industrial Power Supplies |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in compact wall adapters (e.g., 5 V/1 A USB-C PD accessories). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability discrete rectifier replacing legacy 1N400x parts where speed matters. Use Value: DO-41 package fits legacy footprints while delivering 3× faster recovery than 1N4007 (≈2 μs). | Use Scenario: Auxiliary bias supply rectification in telecom or server PSUs requiring long-term reliability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side snubber or auxiliary rail rectifier operating continuously at 60–85°C ambient. Use Value: 150°C TJMAX and 20 °C/W RθJL support stable operation without derating up to 90°C board temp. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R04 | VRRM = 400 V, trr = 30 ns, VF = 1.35 V @ 1 A - slightly faster but higher VF | Same footprint (DO-41), but higher leakage (50 µA @ 125°C vs. SF15G's 100 µA) | Prefer when ultra-low trr dominates over conduction loss |
| ON Semi MUR140 | VRRM = 400 V, trr = 50 ns, VF = 1.25 V @ 1 A - slower but lower VF | DO-41 compatible; higher IFSM (50 A) but wider trr tolerance | Prefer where surge robustness outweighs switching speed |
Compared with STTH1R04 and MUR140, the SF15G delivers balanced performance: 35 ns trr ensures clean switching in mid-frequency SMPS, while 1.30 V VF and 10 pF CJ optimize efficiency and noise control in space-constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) rating for SF15G?
The SF15G has a VRRM rating of 400 V, confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table for the SF15G row. This value defines the highest instantaneous reverse voltage the device can block repeatedly without breakdown, making it suitable for 280 V DC bus applications with safety margin. The SF15G-18G ordering variant reflects this 400 V grade within the SF1xG family.
Is SF15G AEC-Q101 qualified?
The base SF15G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the SF15GH variant (with 'H' suffix) is explicitly listed as AEC-Q101 qualified in the Ordering Information section. This qualification covers temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity testing per automotive standards. For automotive use, specify SF15GH - the SF15G itself meets industrial reliability requirements but lacks formal AEC certification.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of SF15G at 1 A and 25°C?
The SF15G exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.30 V at 1 A and 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table under "SF15G SF16G" column. This value is measured under pulse conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and represents worst-case conduction loss for thermal design. At elevated temperatures (e.g., 125°C), VF decreases slightly due to semiconductor physics.
Does SF15G have a defined reverse recovery time (trr)?
Yes, the SF15G has a maximum reverse recovery time of 35 ns, tested at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This parameter is explicitly listed in the Electrical Specifications table and distinguishes SF15G from standard rectifiers (e.g., 1N4007: ~2 µs). The 35 ns trr enables reliable operation in switching frequencies up to 500 kHz.
What package type does SF15G use, and are the leads lead-free?
The SF15G uses the DO-204AL (DO-41) axial-leaded package, with pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability requirements. It is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The cathode is marked by a visible band, and the molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating - confirming full lead-free and environmentally compliant construction.
