Product details
Overview
SF21GHR0G 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 high-frequency DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SF21GHR0G datasheet, SF21GHR0G pinout, SF21GHR0G application, or SF21GHR0G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50 V VRRM rating, 50 A IFSM surge capability, TJ = –55°C to +150°C operating range, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for automotive and industrial power supplies.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, glass-passivated silicon junction rectifier optimized for switching-mode power conversion. Its super fast recovery (trr ≤ 35 ns) minimizes switching losses, while low VF (0.95 V @ 2 A, 25°C) reduces conduction loss in high-duty-cycle applications.
The DO-204AC package provides robust thermal performance with RθJA = 65°C/W and RθJC = 16°C/W, enabling reliable operation up to 150°C junction temperature. Cathode band polarity marking ensures unambiguous PCB layout integration in high-reliability designs.

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 | VRRM = 60 V, VF = 0.97 V @ 2 A, trr = 30 ns, DO-204AL (DO-41) package | Higher trr speed but different package; requires PCB pad revision | Preferred where 30 ns trr is critical and board layout allows DO-41 footprint |
| ON Semi MUR220 | VRRM = 200 V, VF = 0.93 V @ 2 A, trr = 35 ns, DO-204AC (DO-15) package | Higher voltage rating; over-spec'd for 50 V systems but pin-compatible | Use when future-proofing against voltage transients or shared BOM across multiple VRRM variants |

FAQ
What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating of SF21GHR0G?
The SF21GHR0G has a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 50 V. This means it can reliably block up to 50 V in reverse bias without breakdown under normal operating conditions. The value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version H2105), and applies across the full operating temperature range of –55°C to +150°C.
Is SF21GHR0G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SF21GHR0G is AEC-Q101 qualified. The "H" suffix in the ordering code explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, verified through standardized stress tests including high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling (TC), and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing (uHAST). This makes SF21GHR0G suitable for under-hood and safety-critical automotive power modules.
What is the forward voltage drop of SF21GHR0G at 2 A and 25°C?
The forward voltage drop (VF) of SF21GHR0G is 0.95 V at IF = 2 A and TJ = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) to avoid self-heating effects. At higher junction temperatures, VF decreases slightly due to the negative temperature coefficient of silicon PN junctions.
Does SF21GHR0G have a defined reverse recovery time?
Yes, SF21GHR0G has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 35 ns, tested at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This parameter is critical for minimizing switching losses in high-frequency converters. The trr value is consistent across the SF21G–SF24G subgroup and is validated per JEDEC standards in the official Taiwan Semiconductor characterization data.
What package type does SF21GHR0G use, and is it lead-free?
SF21GHR0G uses the DO-204AC (DO-15) axial-leaded package with pure tin-plated leads. It is fully RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and terminals are solderable per J-STD-002, confirming full lead-free process compatibility for modern reflow and hand-soldering assembly.
