Product details
Overview
SF21GHB0G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2 A, 50 V super fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-204AC (DO-15) package, featuring 35 ns reverse recovery time, 0.95 V forward voltage at 2 A, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability. It serves as a freewheeling or output rectifier in DC-DC converters and switching-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SF21GHB0G datasheet, SF21GHB0G pinout, SF21GHB0G application, or SF21GHB0G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50 V VRRM, 50 A IFSM, 150 °C TJMAX, glass-passivated junction, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance in automotive and industrial power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This super fast rectifier uses a single-die silicon PN junction with glass passivation to achieve low forward voltage and rapid carrier recombination. Its 35 ns trr and 40 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz / 4 V enable high-frequency switching operation up to several hundred kHz.
The device operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range, with RθJA = 65 °C/W and RθJC = 16 °C/W thermal resistance, supporting conduction-limited thermal design in compact PCB layouts without forced airflow.
Key Specifications

| VF | 0.95 V @ 2 A, 25 °C - Low conduction loss; reduces power dissipation and improves system efficiency |
| CJ | 40 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - Junction capacitance; impacts high-frequency switching noise and EMI filter design |
| TJMAX | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; sets thermal derating envelope for ambient and layout constraints |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2R06 | Same 2 A / 600 V rating but higher VF (1.7 V), slower trr (50 ns), no AEC-Q101 | Not suitable for automotive; better for cost-sensitive industrial SMPS where 600 V blocking is required | Select only if VRRM > 50 V is mandatory and AEC-Q101 is not required |
| ON Semi MUR220 | 2 A / 200 V, trr = 35 ns, VF = 0.93 V, no AEC-Q101, same DO-15 package | Lacks automotive qualification; acceptable for commercial-grade DC-DC and inverters with <200 V reverse stress | Use when 50 V VRRM is sufficient and AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with STTH2R06 and MUR220, SF21GHB0G uniquely combines 50 V VRRM, AEC-Q101 qualification, and 0.95 V VF in DO-15 - making it optimal for space-constrained, automotive-compliant 12 V power rails where low conduction loss and reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SF21GHB0G?
The SF21GHB0G has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of +150 °C, enabling reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as automotive engine compartments or enclosed industrial enclosures. This rating is validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing and must be respected in thermal design using the published RθJA = 65 °C/W value. Derating curves in the SF21GHB0G datasheet define allowable current versus ambient temperature.
Is SF21GHB0G pin-compatible with standard DO-15 rectifiers like 1N4007?
Yes, SF21GHB0G uses the DO-204AC (DO-15) axial package with identical mechanical dimensions and lead spacing as 1N4007, allowing direct PCB footprint reuse. However, SF21GHB0G is a super fast rectifier (trr = 35 ns) versus 1N4007's general-purpose recovery (>2 µs), so electrical behavior differs significantly in high-frequency circuits - layout and thermal design must reflect its faster switching and lower VF.
Does SF21GHB0G meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SF21GHB0G is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "H" suffix in its ordering code. This certification covers stress tests including HTGB, HTRB, TCT, and mechanical shock, validating its suitability for automotive power systems such as body control modules, lighting drivers, and ADAS subsystems. The qualification applies to the full SF2xGH series, including SF21GHB0G.
What is the forward voltage drop of SF21GHB0G at rated current?
The SF21GHB0G exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 0.95 V at 2 A and 25 °C junction temperature, measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms). This low VF directly reduces conduction losses compared to standard fast rectifiers, improving overall efficiency in 12 V and 24 V power converters where SF21GHB0G is commonly deployed.
How does the junction capacitance of SF21GHB0G affect high-frequency performance?
SF21GHB0G has a typical junction capacitance (CJ) of 40 pF at 1 MHz and 4 V reverse bias. This value influences high-frequency switching noise and EMI filter design - lower CJ helps minimize capacitive coupling and ringing during turn-off. In practice, this enables clean operation in 200–500 kHz DC-DC converters without excessive snubbing, distinguishing SF21GHB0G from slower, higher-CJ alternatives.
