Product details
Overview
SF18G A0G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 600V super fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-204AL (DO-41) package, featuring 1.70V max forward voltage at 1A/25°C, 35ns reverse recovery time, and 5µA max reverse leakage at 25°C - deployed in high-efficiency DC-DC converters and switching inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SF18G A0G datasheet, SF18G A0G pinout, SF18G A0G application, or SF18G A0G equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM=600V, trr=35ns, VF=1.70V, TJ(max)=150°C, and DO-41 mechanical compatibility with automated through-hole assembly.
Technical Context
This single-die silicon rectifier uses optimized epitaxial structure and controlled lifetime doping to achieve super fast recovery with low forward conduction loss. Its 35ns trr enables operation in high-frequency SMPS topologies up to 100kHz without excessive switching loss.
The device operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, with RθJL=20°C/W enabling direct lead-to-PCB thermal transfer. Cathode band polarity marking and pure tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.

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 (STMicroelectronics) | VRRM=600V, IF=1A, trr=30ns, VF=1.7V - slightly faster recovery but same VF envelope | DO-41 package, identical pinout; requires requalification for AEC-Q101 if used in automotive | Preferred where <30ns trr is critical; no layout change needed |
| ES1J (ON Semiconductor) | VRRM=600V, IF=1A, trr=35ns, VF=1.7V - matches SF18G A0G trr and VF, but TJ(max)=150°C same | DO-41, same marking polarity; RoHS/halogen-free status verified per datasheet revision 2023 | Drop-in alternative with identical thermal and electrical behavior in non-automotive industrial use |
Compared with STTH1R06U and ES1J, SF18G A0G offers identical 600V/1A/35ns/1.7V specs and DO-41 form factor, but only SF18GH (not A0G) carries AEC-Q101 qualification - making SF18G A0G optimal for cost-sensitive industrial power supplies where automotive validation is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of SF18G A0G?
The SF18G A0G has a VRRM rating of 600 V, meaning it can block up to 600 volts of reverse voltage repeatedly without breakdown. This makes SF18G A0G suitable for primary-side rectification in offline 230VAC-derived supplies and high-voltage DC bus clamping. The rating is validated per JEDEC test conditions and applies across the full -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
Does SF18G A0G have AEC-Q101 qualification?
No, SF18G A0G is not AEC-Q101 qualified. Only the SF18GH variant (with "H" suffix) meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for automotive under-hood applications. SF18G A0G is intended for industrial, telecom, and consumer power supplies where automotive qualification is not required. Always verify part marking and ordering code before deployment in automotive systems.
What is the forward voltage (VF) specification for SF18G A0G at rated current?
SF18G A0G specifies a maximum forward voltage of 1.70 V at IF = 1 A and TJ = 25°C, measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms). At higher junction temperatures (e.g., 125°C), VF decreases slightly due to semiconductor physics, but system-level thermal design must ensure average power dissipation stays within limits defined by RθJL = 20°C/W.
What package type does SF18G A0G use, and what are its key mechanical features?
SF18G A0G uses the DO-204AL (DO-41) axial-leaded package. Key mechanical features include UL 94V-0 flammability-rated molding compound, pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability, cathode polarity marked by a visible band, and a typical weight of 0.350 g. Lead spacing and body dimensions conform strictly to JEDEC DO-41 standards.
How does the reverse recovery time (trr) of SF18G A0G impact switching converter performance?
SF18G A0G has a trr of 35 ns (max), measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This fast recovery reduces reverse recovery charge (Qrr), minimizing switching losses and voltage overshoot during turn-off in hard-switched topologies like flyback and forward converters operating up to 100 kHz. Lower Qrr also eases EMI filter design compared to standard recovery diodes.
