Product details
Overview
SF2008PTH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 20A, 600V super fast recovery dual rectifier in TO-247AD package with center-tapped configuration, glass passivated junctions, and AEC-Q101 qualification. It delivers 1.900 V forward voltage at 20A/25°C, 35 ns reverse recovery time, and 2.5 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance for high-efficiency DC-DC and switching inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SF2008PTH datasheet, SF2008PTH pinout, SF2008PTH application, or SF2008PTH equivalent, key selection factors include its 600V VRRM, dual-die center-tap topology, AEC-Q101 qualification, low thermal resistance, and verified performance in snubber and freewheeling circuits under industrial and automotive thermal stress.
Technical Context
The SF2008PTH integrates two identical high-voltage silicon rectifier dies in a single TO-247AD (TO-3P) package with shared cathode and isolated anodes - enabling center-tapped transformer secondary rectification. Its superfast trr ≤ 35 ns and low Qrr support high-frequency switching up to 100 kHz in SMPS designs.
Designed for operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, the device uses glass passivation for moisture resistance and meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating. Matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing.

Applications
| DC-DC Converter | Switching Inverter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectification in isolated 48 V–600 V output telecom and server PSUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-center-tap rectifier replacing two discrete diodes to reduce layout area and parasitic inductance. Use Value: 1.900 V VF at 20 A lowers conduction loss by 2.1 W per diode vs. legacy 2.1 V parts, improving efficiency by 0.4–0.6% at full load. | Use Scenario: Full-wave bridge replacement in 3-phase motor drive DC bus precharge and regenerative braking circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage freewheeling path during IGBT turn-off, clamping inductive kickback. Use Value: 35 ns trr limits reverse recovery charge (Qrr) to <120 nC, reducing switching loss and dv/dt stress on gate drivers. |
| Lighting Ballast | Snubber Network |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery path absorbing turn-off energy while minimizing voltage overshoot. Use Value: Low CJ = 175 pF and fast trr prevent snubber resonance shift and maintain stable damping across 25–100 kHz operation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage dual superfast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH30L06CW | 600 V, 30 A, TO-247, single-diode dual-pack - higher IF but no center-tap; trr = 30 ns | Requires external center-tap wiring; better for parallel high-current outputs | Select when system needs >20 A per leg and can accommodate discrete routing |
| IXYS MURB2060CT | 600 V, 20 A, TO-247, center-tap - trr = 50 ns, VF = 2.05 V @ 20 A | Higher conduction loss and slower recovery; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Acceptable for industrial non-automotive use where cost is prioritized over efficiency and qualification |
Compared with STTH30L06CW and IXYS MURB2060CT, the SF2008PTH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, true integrated center-tap topology, and lowest VF/trr product among 600 V dual rectifiers - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding automotive and telecom power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SF2008PTH?
The SF2008PTH has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of +150°C, validated across its full operating range from –55°C to +150°C. This rating is supported by its glass passivated die construction and 2.5 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, enabling reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C.
Is SF2008PTH pin-compatible with SF2008PT?
Yes, SF2008PTH shares identical TO-247AD (TO-3P) mechanical footprint, pinout, and terminal configuration with SF2008PT. The only difference is AEC-Q101 qualification - SF2008PTH undergoes additional stress testing per automotive standard, while SF2008PT is industrial-grade. Both use the same marking code "SF2008PT" on the device surface.
What does the 'H' suffix in SF2008PTH signify?
The 'H' suffix in SF2008PTH explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, confirming that the device has passed all required stress tests including HTSL, TC, UHAST, and ESD per AEC-Q101 Rev D. This distinguishes it from non-H variants like SF2008PT, which meet industrial specifications but lack automotive reliability validation.
How does SF2008PTH perform at elevated junction temperatures?
At TJ = 125°C, SF2008PTH maintains IF = 20 A capability with VF rising to ≤2.15 V and reverse leakage (IR) remaining ≤400 µA per diode. Its derating curve shows linear current reduction above 100°C case temperature, supporting 15 A continuous at 125°C case - verified in thermal cycling and high-temp life testing.
Can SF2008PTH be used in freewheeling applications with inductive loads?
Yes, SF2008PTH is specifically designed for freewheeling applications, as confirmed by its 35 ns reverse recovery time and 180 A surge rating. In IGBT/MOSFET-based motor drives, it safely clamps inductive kickback with minimal voltage overshoot due to low Qrr and controlled soft recovery - reducing EMI and gate driver stress compared to standard fast rectifiers.
