Product details
Overview
SF2L4G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2 A, 200 V super fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-204AC (DO-15) package, featuring 35 ns reverse recovery time, 0.95 V max forward voltage at 2 A and 25°C, 50 A surge capability, and glass passivated junction for reliability in high-frequency switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SF2L4G datasheet, SF2L4G pinout, SF2L4G application, or SF2L4G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (200 V), forward current rating (2 A), thermal resistance (RθJL = 17 °C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification availability in higher-grade variants.
Technical Context
The SF2L4G employs a single-die silicon PN junction with glass passivation to ensure stable operation under repeated thermal cycling and high dv/dt conditions. Its 35 ns trr and low VF support high-efficiency DC–DC conversion in compact topologies.
Designed for unidirectional conduction in flyback, boost, and freewheeling paths, it operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range with 17 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance-enabling direct PCB copper pad heat sinking without additional heatsinks at rated load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating ceiling in clamped or snubbered topologies |
| IF | 2 A - Continuous average forward current; sets minimum trace width and thermal pad area for PCB layout |
| IFSM | 50 A - Non-repetitive surge rating (8.3 ms half-sine); supports inrush current handling in SMPS startup |
| VF (max) | 0.95 V @ 2 A, 25°C - Directly determines conduction loss (1.9 W max at full load), critical for thermal budget |
| trr | 35 ns - Enables >100 kHz switching frequencies with minimal switching loss and EMI generation |
| RθJL | 17 °C/W - Quantifies thermal path efficiency from die to lead; enables accurate junction temp estimation using lead temp |
| CJ | 40 pF @ 4 V - Affects high-frequency noise coupling and snubber design in resonant converters |
Pinout & Package
DO-204AC (DO-15) axial-leaded package with cathode band marking; leads are pure tin plated, solderable per J-STD-002, and meet JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in boost, source in buck); requires adequate creepage clearance |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail or ground return; polarity must match PCB silkscreen to prevent catastrophic failure |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Super fast recovery (trr = 35 ns) | Reduces switching losses and EMI in >100 kHz SMPS designs versus standard rectifiers (trr > 500 ns) |
| Glass passivated junction | Prevents moisture ingress and metallization corrosion, extending lifetime in humid or automotive under-hood environments |
| Low VF (0.95 V max) | Lowers conduction loss by ~25% vs. comparable 200 V Schottky diodes above 85°C, improving thermal stability |
| RoHS & halogen-free compliance | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU for environmentally regulated industrial and consumer shipments |
| Junction temp range (–55°C to +150°C) | Supports operation in extended-temperature applications including outdoor power supplies and industrial motor drives |
Applications
| DC–DC Converter | Switching Inverter |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2R02 | Same 2 A / 200 V rating; trr = 30 ns, VF = 0.92 V typ, but RθJL = 20 °C/W and no AEC-Q101 option | Better speed/VF trade-off, but higher thermal resistance limits power density in compact designs | Preferred where ultimate efficiency at 25°C dominates; avoid if lead temperature exceeds 110°C |
| ON Semi MUR220 | 2 A / 200 V; trr = 35 ns, VF = 0.97 V max, RθJL = 18 °C/W, halogen-free but not RoHS-compliant in legacy batches | Near-identical electrical specs; requires verification of RoHS status per lot number | Select when sourcing continuity is prioritized and RoHS documentation is confirmed per shipment |
Compared with STTH2R02 and MUR220, the SF2L4G offers superior thermal performance (RθJL = 17 °C/W) and guaranteed RoHS/halogen-free compliance, making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding, and environmentally regulated industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the SF2L4G?
The SF2L4G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, with operational range spanning –55°C to +150°C. This allows reliable use in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial power supplies or automotive under-hood auxiliary systems. The SF2L4G's RθJL of 17 °C/W enables accurate junction temperature estimation using measured lead temperature, supporting thermal design validation without infrared imaging.
Is the SF2L4G pin-compatible with other devices in the SF2LxG series?
No-the SF2L4G shares the DO-204AC (DO-15) package and axial pinout with SF2L6G and SF2L8G, but its 200 V VRRM rating is specific to this variant. Substituting SF2L4G for SF2L6G (400 V) or SF2L8G (600 V) in high-voltage circuits risks premature breakdown. Always verify reverse voltage margin against system peak transients before interchanging SF2LxG variants.
Does the SF2L4G meet AEC-Q101 reliability standards?
The base SF2L4G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the AEC-Q101 variant is designated SF2L4GH (with "H" suffix). Per ordering information, only SF2LxGH parts undergo stress testing per AEC-Q101 Rev D. For automotive body control modules or ADAS power rails, specify SF2L4GH-not SF2L4G-to ensure qualification compliance and long-term reliability under automotive thermal and vibration profiles.
What is the typical junction capacitance of the SF2L4G and how does it affect circuit behavior?
The SF2L4G exhibits 40 pF typical junction capacitance at 1 MHz and 4.0 V reverse bias. This value influences high-frequency noise coupling, snubber sizing, and EMI filter design-especially in resonant LLC or ZVS topologies. Compared to SF2L6G/SF2L8G (20 pF), the higher CJ of SF2L4G increases displacement current during fast dv/dt transitions, necessitating tighter layout control near gate drivers or feedback networks.
How does the SF2L4G's forward voltage compare to Schottky alternatives at elevated temperatures?
At 25°C, Schottky diodes may offer lower VF than the SF2L4G's 0.95 V max, but their VF rises minimally with temperature while the SF2L4G's VF decreases slightly. More critically, Schottkys suffer rapid IR increase above 125°C, whereas the SF2L4G maintains stable 1 µA IR at 25°C and only 100 µA at 125°C-making it more predictable in thermally stressed industrial applications where Schottky leakage could compromise regulation or safety margins.
