Product details
Overview
SF33G-A from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 150 V, 3 A super fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-201AD package, featuring 35 ns reverse recovery time, 0.95 V forward voltage at 3 A/25°C, and 125 A surge capability - deployed in DC-DC converters and switching-mode inverters for high-efficiency power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the SF33G-A datasheet, SF33G-A pinout, SF33G-A application, or SF33G-A equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 150 V, IF = 3 A, trr = 35 ns, VF = 0.95 V, and thermal resistance RθJL = 10 °C/W - all critical for high-frequency, low-loss rectification in compact power supplies.
Technical Context
This single-die silicon rectifier uses epitaxial planar construction to achieve fast recovery (trr ≤ 35 ns) with low forward conduction loss. Its 150 V peak reverse voltage rating and 125 A non-repetitive surge current support robust operation under transient overloads in SMPS freewheeling paths.
The DO-201AD package provides 10 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance and meets UL 94V-0 flammability requirements. Cathode polarity is marked by a visible band; leads are pure tin-plated per J-STD-002 solderability standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 150 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating range in 12–48 V output DC-DC stages |
| IF | 3 A continuous - average forward current rating at TL = 75 °C; supports sustained load in 30–60 W converters |
| trr | 35 ns - measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables >100 kHz switching without excessive switching loss |
| VF | 0.95 V @ 3 A, 25 °C - low conduction drop reduces power dissipation vs. standard rectifiers; improves efficiency by ~0.5–1.2% at full load |
| IFSM | 125 A @ 8.3 ms half-sine - withstands inrush and fault currents in offline AC-DC front-ends and motor drive snubbers |
| RθJL | 10 °C/W - enables direct heatsinking via PCB copper pour or clip; limits junction rise to ≤30 °C above lead at 3 A |
| CJ | 80 pF @ 4 V, 1 MHz - low capacitance minimizes capacitive coupling noise and EMI in high-dv/dt environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-201AD axial-leaded package with cathode indicated by a painted band; body length 7.62 mm ±0.25 mm, diameter 2.72 mm ±0.13 mm, lead diameter 0.61 mm ±0.05 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Forward current entry point | Connected to switch node or transformer secondary; must handle full 3 A RMS and 125 A surge |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail or ground return; reverse leakage ≤5 µA at 150 V ensures minimal standby loss |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Super fast recovery (trr ≤ 35 ns) | Reduces switching losses in 100–500 kHz SMPS designs, enabling higher efficiency than standard FRDs |
| Low VF = 0.95 V @ 3 A | Lowers conduction loss by ~15–20% vs. comparable 150 V rectifiers, improving thermal margin in sealed enclosures |
| DO-201AD with UL 94V-0 molding | Supports safety-certified industrial and telecom power supplies requiring flame-retardant packaging |
| RoHS + halogen-free (IEC 61249-2-21) | Meets global environmental compliance for export to EU, Japan, and North America without material declaration waivers |
| JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance | Ensures long-term reliability in high-humidity or high-temperature storage and reflow environments |
Applications
| DC-DC Converters | Switching Inverters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectification in isolated 12 V → 5 V/3.3 V buck-derived converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling rectifier conducting during low-side MOSFET off-time; handles 3 A continuous and 125 A surge. Use Value: 35 ns trr prevents reverse recovery shoot-through; 0.95 V VF cuts conduction loss by ≥0.3 W vs. legacy FR107. | Use Scenario: Output stage rectification in 200–500 W solar microinverters with 100 kHz PWM. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path converting high-frequency AC from H-bridge to DC output; blocks 150 V reverse during dead-time. Use Value: 80 pF CJ and 10 °C/W RθJL suppress EMI and maintain <115 °C junction temp at full load. |
| Freewheeling Diodes | AC-DC Front-End Rectification |
Use Scenario: Inductive load flyback protection in 24 V industrial PLC output modules driving solenoids. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp inductive kickback energy during transistor turn-off; absorbs 125 A surge pulses. Use Value: 125 A IFSM rating eliminates need for parallel diodes; DO-201AD mechanical robustness withstands vibration. | Use Scenario: Input bridge rectification in universal-input (85–265 VAC) offline SMPS with PFC pre-regulator. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage, high-surge rectifier handling line-frequency peaks and transient surges. Use Value: 150 V VRRM provides 2× margin over 115 VAC peak (162 V); 125 A IFSM survives lightning-induced line spikes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S | VRRM = 600 V, trr = 35 ns, VF = 1.15 V @ 3 A - higher voltage rating but higher forward drop | Used where system-level overvoltage transients exceed 150 V; less efficient in 12–48 V outputs | Select when VRRM margin >2× nominal bus voltage is required; avoid if VF-driven thermal design is tight |
| ON Semi MUR315 | VRRM = 150 V, trr = 35 ns, VF = 0.92 V @ 3 A - identical voltage/speed, slightly lower VF, same DO-201AD package | Drop-in replacement in existing layouts; validated in automotive-grade 12 V DC-DC designs | Preferred for automotive qualification-critical designs; verify JESD 201 whisker compliance per batch |
Compared with STTH3L06S and MUR315, SF33G-A offers optimal balance of 150 V rating, 0.95 V VF, and 35 ns trr in cost-sensitive industrial power supplies - delivering lower conduction loss than STTH3L06S and broader temperature validation than MUR315.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SF33G-A?
The SF33G-A has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows operation in ambient temperatures up to +85 °C with appropriate PCB copper area or heatsinking. The device's 10 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance ensures reliable thermal performance when mounted on ≥1 cm² of 2 oz copper.
Does SF33G-A meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, SF33G-A is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives, and lead content is below 1000 ppm. Full material declarations and test reports are available upon request for SF33G-A.
What is the reverse recovery time test condition for SF33G-A?
SF33G-A reverse recovery time (trr) is specified as ≤35 ns under conditions: IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A, with measurement per JEDEC JESD24-11. This reflects real-world behavior in high-frequency flyback and LLC converter freewheeling paths.
Is SF33G-A pin-compatible with other DO-201AD rectifiers like UF33G or MUR315?
SF33G-A shares the DO-201AD package and axial pinout with UF33G and MUR315, making it mechanically interchangeable. However, electrical differences exist: UF33G has higher VF (~1.05 V), while MUR315 has slightly lower VF (0.92 V). Layout reuse is possible, but thermal and efficiency validation is recommended for SF33G-A.
What marking code appears on the SF33G-A device body?
The SF33G-A is marked "SF33G" on the device body, followed by a green compound indicator (G), date code (YWW), and factory code (F). No suffix "-A" appears on the physical marking - the "-A" denotes tape-and-reel packaging per ordering code SF33G-A.
