Product details
Overview
SF2L6GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2 A, 400 V super fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-204AC (DO-15) package, featuring 35 ns reverse recovery time, 1.30 V max forward voltage at 2 A and 25°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability. It serves as a freewheeling or output rectifier in high-frequency switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SF2L6GH datasheet, SF2L6GH pinout, SF2L6GH application, or SF2L6GH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 50 A surge capability, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJL = 17 °C/W), and DO-15 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole layouts.
Technical Context
This super fast rectifier uses a glass-passivated silicon junction to achieve low forward voltage and rapid charge removal during reverse recovery. Its 35 ns trr enables operation in DC-DC converters and SMPS designs switching above 100 kHz without excessive switching loss.
The device operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, supports 2 A continuous forward current with derating above 75°C, and delivers stable reverse leakage (<1 µA at 25°C, <100 µA at 125°C) under rated VR, ensuring predictable behavior in thermally demanding environments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2R04 | Same 2 A / 400 V rating; 30 ns trr, 1.35 V VF; TO-220AC package (not DO-15) | Requires PCB layout change; suited for higher-power forced-air-cooled systems | Select when higher surge margin or surface-mount thermal interface is needed |
| ON Semi MUR240 | 2 A / 400 V; 35 ns trr, 1.25 V VF; DO-15 package, but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive qualification; acceptable for industrial/commercial use only | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and lower VF is prioritized |

FAQ
What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating for SF2L6GH?
The SF2L6GH has a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 400 V. This value is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version B2105). It defines the maximum reverse-biased voltage the device can block continuously without breakdown, making SF2L6GH suitable for 400 V DC bus applications such as automotive 48 V systems or industrial SMPS outputs.
Is SF2L6GH qualified to AEC-Q101 standards?
Yes, SF2L6GH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "H" suffix in its ordering code and stated in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This qualification includes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock-ensuring SF2L6GH meets automotive-grade reliability requirements for under-hood and safety-critical power supply applications.
What is the forward voltage drop of SF2L6GH at rated current?
The SF2L6GH exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.30 V at 2 A forward current and 25°C junction temperature, per the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and represents worst-case conduction loss-critical for thermal design and efficiency calculations in high-duty-cycle power converters using SF2L6GH.
Does SF2L6GH have the same package as standard DO-15 rectifiers?
Yes, SF2L6GH uses the DO-204AC (DO-15) package with axial leads and cathode band marking, matching mechanical dimensions and lead spacing of legacy DO-15 rectifiers like 1N4007 or UF4007. The datasheet confirms identical case outline, polarity indication, and lead plating (pure tin), enabling direct physical replacement without PCB modification when upgrading to faster recovery performance.
What is the reverse recovery time specification for SF2L6GH?
The SF2L6GH 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 listed in the Electrical Specifications table and enables high-frequency operation (>100 kHz) with reduced switching loss and EMI-key for modern compact DC–DC converters where SF2L6GH serves as the primary output rectifier.
