Product details
Overview
SF2005G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 20A, 300V super fast rectifier diode in TO-220AB package, featuring 35ns reverse recovery time, 1.300V forward voltage at 10A/25°C, and 150A surge capability - used in high-frequency DC-DC converters and freewheeling paths where low switching loss is critical.
For engineers reviewing the SF2005G datasheet, SF2005G pinout, SF2005G application, or SF2005G equivalent, key selection factors include its 300V VRRM, dual-die configuration, AEC-Q101 qualification option (SF2005GH), thermal resistance of 2.5°C/W, and compatibility with high-efficiency SMPS designs requiring fast recovery and low conduction loss.
Technical Context
The SF2005G employs a super fast recovery epitaxial structure optimized for switching-mode power supplies operating above 20kHz. Its 35ns trr and 80pF junction capacitance enable minimal switching loss during turn-off transitions in synchronous and quasi-resonant topologies.
Rated for continuous 20A forward current and 150A non-repetitive surge (8.3ms half-sine), it operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range with 2.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance - enabling direct heatsink mounting without thermal interface material in medium-power applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 300 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines usable input voltage range in boost/flyback stages |
| IF | 20 A - continuous average forward current; supports 200–300W converter output with appropriate heatsinking |
| IFSM | 150 A - single-cycle surge rating; withstands inrush and short-circuit transients in industrial SMPS |
| trr | 35 ns - reverse recovery time; reduces switching losses and EMI in >100kHz converters |
| VF | 1.300 V @ 10A/25°C - forward voltage drop; determines conduction loss and thermal load at rated current |
| RθJC | 2.5 °C/W - junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables direct-mount thermal design with ≤50°C case rise at full load |
| CJ | 80 pF @ 4V - junction capacitance; affects snubber sizing and high-frequency ringing behavior |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220AB - insulated case, matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 molding compound, 1.82g weight, polarity marked on device body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| Cathode (Lead 1) | Output node for rectified current | Primary current exit point; routed to output filter capacitor or load |
| NC / Case | Thermal interface only | No electrical connection; serves solely as mechanical and thermal interface to heatsink |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2003D (STMicroelectronics) | 300V VRRM, 35ns trr, but 1.25V VF @ 10A; TO-220AC package (non-insulated tab) | Requires insulating washer for heatsink mounting; slightly lower conduction loss but identical switching performance | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs insulation requirement and thermal interface simplicity |
| VS-20EWH03-M3 (Vishay) | 300V VRRM, 30ns trr, 1.35V VF @ 10A; TO-247AC package with higher thermal mass | Offers faster recovery but larger footprint and higher VF; better suited for >500W designs with active cooling | Select when ultra-low trr is prioritized over board space and thermal interface simplicity |
Compared with STTH2003D and VS-20EWH03-M3, the SF2005G delivers balanced trade-offs: insulated TO-220AB packaging simplifies heatsink integration, 1.300V VF ensures competitive conduction loss, and 35ns trr meets most 100–300kHz SMPS requirements without over-specifying.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for SF2005G?
The SF2005G has a VRRM of 300 V, confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table across all versions I2104 documentation. This rating defines the highest continuous reverse-biased voltage the device can block without breakdown under normal operating conditions and is validated per JEDEC test methods.
Is SF2005G AEC-Q101 qualified?
The base SF2005G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the variant SF2005GH is explicitly listed in the Ordering Information as AEC-Q101 qualified. The "H" suffix denotes automotive-grade qualification, including stress testing for temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity resistance per AEC-Q101 Rev D.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of SF2005G at 10A and 25°C?
The SF2005G exhibits a typical forward voltage of 1.300 V at 10A and 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table under "Forward voltage per diode" for SF2005G/SF2006G group. This value is measured under pulse conditions (PW = 0.3ms) and represents conduction loss under nominal load conditions.
Does SF2005G have a dual-die configuration?
Yes, the SF2005G uses a dual-die configuration, explicitly stated in the KEY PARAMETERS section. This architecture distributes current and thermal load across two parallel silicon dies within the same TO-220AB package, enhancing reliability and thermal derating capability compared to single-die equivalents.
What is the junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of SF2005G?
The SF2005G has a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance of 2.5°C/W, as published in the THERMAL PERFORMANCE section. This value is measured under standard JEDEC conditions and enables accurate heatsink sizing for applications operating up to 20A continuous current with controlled case temperature rise.
