Product details
Overview
SF17G-K from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 A, 500 V super fast rectifier diode in DO-204AL (DO-41) package, featuring 1.70 V forward voltage at 1 A and 35 ns reverse recovery time, used for freewheeling and switching-mode power supply output rectification.
For engineers reviewing the SF17G-K datasheet, SF17G-K pinout, SF17G-K application, or SF17G-K equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage rating, forward voltage drop under load, thermal resistance, surge current capability, and junction capacitance in high-frequency DC/DC converters.
Technical Context
This discrete silicon rectifier employs a single-die planar construction optimized for fast switching with low stored charge. Its 35 ns trr and 10 pF junction capacitance enable efficient operation in 100 kHz–500 kHz SMPS topologies.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, with 20°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance supporting 1 A continuous conduction without forced cooling in standard PCB layouts.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R06U | VRRM = 600 V, VF = 1.7 V @ 1 A, trr = 30 ns, same DO-41 package | Slightly faster recovery; higher VRRM margin for 480 V AC-input designs | Preferred where tighter trr tolerance or extended voltage headroom is required |
| ES1D-E3/54 | VRRM = 200 V, VF = 0.95 V @ 1 A, trr = 35 ns, same DO-41 package | Lower voltage rating but significantly lower VF; unsuitable for >200 V reverse stress | Select only for 24–48 V output systems where conduction loss dominates over voltage margin |
Compared with STTH1R06U and ES1D-E3/54, the SF17G-K offers optimal balance of 500 V rating, 1.70 V VF, and 35 ns trr in cost-sensitive 1 A industrial power supplies-neither over-specified nor under-rated for typical 400 V DC bus applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for SF17G-K?
The SF17G-K has a VRRM rating of 500 V, verified per Taiwan Semiconductor's B2104 datasheet. This value defines the highest instantaneous reverse voltage the diode can block repeatedly without breakdown. It is critical for ensuring safe operation in 400 V DC bus systems with transient margin. The SF17G-K must not be substituted with lower-VRRM variants like SF14G-K (200 V) or SF15G-K (300 V) in such applications.
What is the forward voltage drop (VF) of SF17G-K at 1 A and 25°C?
The SF17G-K exhibits a typical forward voltage of 1.70 V at 1 A and 25°C junction temperature, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This VF directly determines conduction loss (Pcond = IF × VF) and impacts thermal design. At elevated temperatures, VF decreases slightly, but derating curves in the datasheet confirm sustained 1 A capability up to 150°C TJ.
Does SF17G-K have a defined reverse recovery time (trr), and what is its value?
Yes, the SF17G-K has a maximum reverse recovery time of 35 ns, measured under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A conditions. This trr value is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications section and is essential for minimizing switching losses and EMI in high-frequency power converters. Devices with longer trr (e.g., standard rectifiers > 200 ns) would increase losses and require additional snubbing when replacing SF17G-K.
What package type does SF17G-K use, and are the leads lead-free?
SF17G-K uses the DO-204AL (DO-41) axial package with pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability requirements. The leads are lead-free and RoHS-compliant, and the molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating. Polarity is marked by a cathode band, and the device weighs approximately 0.330 g.
Is SF17G-K suitable for freewheeling applications in motor drive circuits?
Yes, SF17G-K is explicitly listed for freewheeling applications in its official documentation. With 500 V VRRM, 30 A IFSM, and 35 ns trr, it safely clamps inductive kickback from 24–48 V motor windings or solenoids in half-bridge or H-bridge drivers. Its 20°C/W RθJL allows effective heat transfer to PCB copper, making SF17G-K well-suited for thermally constrained motor control PCBs.
