Product details
Overview
SF31G R0G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 50V super fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-201AD package, featuring 0.95V forward voltage at 3A/25°C, 35ns reverse recovery time, and 125A surge current capability; used in DC-DC converters and switching-mode power supplies for high-efficiency freewheeling.
For engineers reviewing the SF31G R0G datasheet, SF31G R0G pinout, SF31G R0G application, or SF31G R0G equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 50V, IF = 3A, trr = 35ns, thermal resistance RθJL = 10°C/W, and AEC-Q101 qualification status (R0G suffix indicates standard grade, not AEC-Q101).
Technical Context
The SF31G R0G implements a single-die silicon PN junction structure optimized for fast switching in high-frequency power conversion. Its 35ns reverse recovery time and low 0.95V forward voltage at rated current enable reduced conduction and switching losses in 50–100 kHz SMPS topologies.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 10°C/W and RθJA = 35°C/W, supporting continuous 3A operation with appropriate PCB copper area. The DO-201AD package uses pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; sets upper limit for input/output voltage rails in buck, flyback, or freewheeling paths |
| IF | 3 A - Continuous average forward current; defines steady-state power handling without derating at TA ≤ 75°C |
| trr | 35 ns - Reverse recovery time at IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A; enables stable operation up to ~500 kHz switching frequency |
| VF | 0.95 V @ 3A, 25°C - Forward voltage drop; determines conduction loss of 2.85W at full load, critical for thermal design |
| IFSM | 125 A - Non-repetitive surge current (8.3ms half-sine); withstands inrush and fault transients in industrial power supplies |
| RθJL | 10 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; allows direct thermal path to PCB copper or heatsink via lead frame |
| Junction Temp | −55°C to +150°C - Operating temperature range; supports under-hood automotive auxiliary supplies and industrial ambient conditions |
Pinout & Package
DO-201AD axial-leaded package with cathode band marking; leads are pure tin-plated, solderable per J-STD-002, and meet JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Weight ≈1.10g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck converter, transformer secondary center-tap) |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail or filter capacitor; polarity must be observed to prevent catastrophic failure |
Key Features

Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Switching Mode Inverter Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated 24V–48V input DC-DC converters delivering 3A to FPGA or microcontroller power rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current steering device converting transformer AC output to regulated DC; timing role defined by switching frequency and trr-limited turn-off edge. Use Value: 35ns trr minimizes reverse recovery charge (Qrr), reducing MOSFET turn-on loss and enabling >300 kHz operation without excessive heating. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path across inductive loads (e.g., motor windings, solenoids) in half-bridge inverters operating at 20–100 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive clamp diode providing low-impedance return path during switch off-time; timing role governed by trr and stored carrier lifetime. Use Value: 0.95V VF limits freewheeling conduction loss to <3W, preventing thermal runaway during sustained 100% duty-cycle braking. |
| AC-DC Adapter Secondary Rectification | Industrial Power Supply Snubber Network |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in compact 5V/3A wall adapters using quasi-resonant flyback topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed unidirectional conductor synchronizing with primary-side MOSFET switching edges; trr directly impacts valley-switching accuracy. Use Value: Low 35ns trr ensures clean zero-current switching transitions, improving efficiency by 0.8–1.2% over standard 100ns FRDs. | Use Scenario: Clamp diode in RCD snubber networks protecting IGBTs in 3-phase 400V industrial drives. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-turn-on clamping element absorbing inductive energy spikes; role defined by VRRM margin and trr-driven voltage overshoot control. Use Value: 50V VRRM provides 2× margin over 24V bus clamping targets, while 35ns trr limits peak clamp voltage to <65V during 1µs dV/dt events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L05S | VRRM = 50V, IF = 3A, trr = 30ns, VF = 0.92V @ 3A - slightly faster and lower VF, but DO-201AD footprint identical | Same mounting and thermal interface; preferred where <30ns trr required for >500 kHz designs | Select STTH3L05S when optimizing for minimum switching loss in high-frequency resonant converters |
| ON Semi MUR305 | VRRM = 50V, IF = 3A, trr = 50ns, VF = 0.97V @ 3A - slower recovery, same package and current rating | Higher Qrr increases MOSFET turn-on loss; acceptable in <100 kHz applications with relaxed EMI requirements | Choose MUR305 only if cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency and EMI targets in legacy 50–100 kHz designs |
Compared with STTH3L05S and MUR305, the SF31G R0G delivers balanced performance: 35ns trr enables mid-frequency SMPS efficiency gains without the premium pricing of ultra-fast variants, while maintaining full DO-201AD compatibility and proven reliability in industrial power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SF31G R0G?
The SF31G R0G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C and a minimum of −55°C. This rating allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive auxiliary supplies and industrial environments with elevated ambient temperatures. Derating curves in the official datasheet define safe IF limits above 75°C ambient. The SF31G R0G must be mounted on PCB copper with adequate thermal relief to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C under full 3A load.
Is SF31G R0G AEC-Q101 qualified?
No, SF31G R0G is not AEC-Q101 qualified. The "R0G" suffix denotes the standard industrial-grade version. AEC-Q101 qualified versions are marked with "H" suffix (e.g., SF31GH). While SF31G R0G shares the same die and DO-201AD package, only SF31GH undergoes the full stress test sequence per AEC-Q101. For automotive body electronics requiring qualification, SF31GH must be specified instead of SF31G R0G.
What does the "R0G" suffix mean in SF31G R0G?
The "R0G" suffix in SF31G R0G identifies the packaging and environmental specification: "R" indicates tape-and-reel packaging (1,250 pcs/reel), "0" is a placeholder, and "G" denotes green (halogen-free) molding compound compliant with IEC 61249-2-21. It is not an AEC-Q101 indicator - that requires "H". The SF31G R0G is functionally identical to SF31G in electrical specs and DO-201AD mechanical form.
What is the reverse recovery time measurement condition for SF31G R0G?
The reverse recovery time (trr) of 35 ns for SF31G R0G is measured under standardized conditions: forward current IF = 0.5 A, reverse current IR = 1.0 A, and reverse recovery current Irr = 0.25 A, per JEDEC JESD24-11. This test setup reflects real-world switching behavior in hard-commutated topologies. The SF31G R0G maintains this trr value across its full operating temperature range (−55°C to +150°C), with minor variation below ±10%.
Can SF31G R0G replace a standard FR107 diode in a 50 kHz flyback supply?
Yes, SF31G R0G can directly replace FR107 in a 50 kHz flyback supply due to identical DO-201AD package, 50V VRRM, and 3A IF rating. However, SF31G R0G offers significantly faster trr (35 ns vs. 500 ns for FR107), reducing switching loss and EMI. Thermal design must verify RθJL = 10°C/W meets system cooling requirements. No PCB changes are needed - the SF31G R0G fits the same footprint and solder profile as FR107.
