Product details
Overview
SF45GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 4A, 400V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) AEC-Q101-qualified super fast rectifier diode in DO-201AD package, featuring 1.3V forward voltage at 4A/25°C, 35ns reverse recovery time, and 80pF junction capacitance - deployed in automotive-grade DC-DC converters and switching inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SF45GH datasheet, SF45GH pinout, SF45GH application, or SF45GH equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 400V, VF = 1.3V @ 4A, trr = 35ns, TJ(max) = 150°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood power conversion systems.
Technical Context
This super fast rectifier uses a single-die silicon PN junction optimized for low conduction loss and rapid carrier recombination. Its 35ns reverse recovery time enables high-frequency operation up to ~500kHz in hard-switched topologies without excessive switching loss or voltage overshoot.
The device operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range with 25°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Its pure tin-plated DO-201AD leads meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH4R04DJF | VRRM = 400V, VF = 1.25V @ 4A, trr = 30ns, TO-220AC package | Higher thermal mass but requires PCB mounting hardware; not axial-leaded | Preferred where board space permits and higher surge robustness is needed |
| ON Semi MUR440G | VRRM = 400V, VF = 1.3V @ 4A, trr = 35ns, DO-201AD, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive qualification; identical electrical specs and footprint | Cost-sensitive industrial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with SF45GH, STTH4R04DJF offers slightly faster recovery and better thermal handling but demands different mechanical integration, while MUR440G matches all electrical parameters and package yet omits automotive qualification - making SF45GH the sole choice for AEC-Q101-compliant 400V super fast rectification.

FAQ
What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of the SF45GH?
The SF45GH has a VRRM rating of 400 V, meaning it can block up to 400 volts of reverse voltage repeatedly without breakdown. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version G2105), and aligns with its SF45G designation where '45' maps to 400V in the SF41G–SF48G family coding scheme. The SF45GH maintains this rating across its full operating temperature range.
Is the SF45GH qualified to AEC-Q101 standards?
Yes, the SF45GH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the 'H' suffix in its ordering code per the official Taiwan Semiconductor documentation. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life - validating its suitability for automotive under-hood applications. The base SF45G variant lacks this qualification; only SF45GH carries the AEC-Q101 certification.
What is the forward voltage drop of the SF45GH at 4A and 25°C?
The SF45GH exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.3 V at 4 A and 25°C junction temperature, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) to avoid self-heating effects. At elevated temperatures (e.g., 125°C), VF decreases slightly due to semiconductor physics, but system-level thermal design must ensure the 150°C maximum junction temperature is never exceeded.
Does the SF45GH have the same package and pinout as the SF45G?
Yes, the SF45GH uses the identical DO-201AD package and axial lead configuration as the SF45G, with cathode indicated by a band on the banded end. The 'H' suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification only - no mechanical, electrical, or pinout changes are introduced. Both variants share identical dimensions, weight (1.10 g), lead plating (pure tin), and polarity marking, enabling direct replacement where qualification is required.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for the SF45GH?
The SF45GH has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 35 ns, tested under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A conditions. This value is consistent across the SF45G–SF48G subgroup and reflects the device's super fast recovery capability. The 35 ns trr enables efficient operation in switching power supplies operating up to ~500 kHz, minimizing switching losses and associated EMI generation in high-frequency converter designs.
