Product details
Overview
SF66G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 400 V, 6 A super fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-201AD package, featuring 35 ns reverse recovery time, 1.300 V forward voltage at 6 A and 25°C, and 150 A surge capability - used in high-efficiency DC-DC converters and switching inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SF66G datasheet, SF66G pinout, SF66G application, or SF66G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (400 V), forward voltage drop (1.300 V @ 6 A), thermal resistance (5 °C/W junction-to-lead), reverse recovery time (35 ns), and AEC-Q101 qualification status.
Technical Context
The SF66G employs a single-die silicon PN junction optimized for fast switching in hard-commutated topologies. Its 35 ns trr and low Qrr support high-frequency operation up to 100 kHz in SMPS designs while maintaining low conduction loss.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 5 °C/W and RθJA = 40 °C/W, enabling 6 A continuous forward current with appropriate PCB copper area. The device operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - maximum non-repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in flyback/clamp circuits |
| IF | 6 A - continuous average forward current at TA = 75°C with sufficient heatsinking |
| IFSM | 150 A - peak non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine); supports inrush and fault transient handling |
| trr | 35 ns - measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables efficient high-frequency rectification |
| VF | 1.300 V @ 6 A, 25°C - forward voltage drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design in power stages |
| CJ | 50 pF @ 1 MHz, 4.0 V - junction capacitance affects switching node ringing and EMI in high-dV/dt applications |
| RθJL | 5 °C/W - junction-to-lead thermal resistance; determines temperature rise under lead-mounted conditions |
Pinout & Package
DO-201AD axial-leaded package with cathode band marking; leads are pure tin plated, solderable per J-STD-002, and meet UL 94V-0 flammability rating. Weight ≈ 1.20 g.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH6L06S | 600 V VRRM, 1.65 V VF @ 6 A, 50 ns trr, TO-220AC package | Higher voltage margin but higher conduction loss and larger footprint | Select when >400 V blocking or higher surge robustness required; not drop-in due to package and thermal interface differences |
| ON Semi MUR640E | 400 V VRRM, 1.35 V VF @ 6 A, 35 ns trr, DO-201AD package | Same voltage/current rating and package; slightly higher VF and no AEC-Q101 variant | Direct physical replacement with identical mounting; verify layout compatibility for cathode band alignment and thermal relief |
Compared with STTH6L06S and MUR640E, the SF66G offers the lowest forward voltage in its voltage class among DO-201AD super fast rectifiers, delivering superior conduction efficiency in space-constrained 6 A applications where thermal resistance and board area are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating for SF66G?
The SF66G has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 400 V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating defines the highest reverse voltage the device can block repeatedly without breakdown under normal operating conditions and must be derated per ambient temperature per the forward current derating curve in the datasheet.
Is SF66G AEC-Q101 qualified?
The base SF66G part is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the AEC-Q101 variant is designated SF66GH (with 'H' suffix). The datasheet explicitly states "AEC-Q101 qualified available" for the SF61G–SF68G family, and ordering code SF66GH confirms qualification. Standard SF66G is intended for industrial and commercial applications.
What is the forward voltage of SF66G at 6 A and 125°C?
The datasheet specifies VF = 1.300 V only at TJ = 25°C. At elevated junction temperatures, VF decreases - typical behavior for silicon diodes. While no exact value is published for 125°C, extrapolation using the -2 mV/°C temperature coefficient yields ~1.10 V. For precise design, thermal simulation and characterization at operating temperature are recommended for SF66G.
Can SF66G replace SF65G in an existing design?
No - SF65G is rated for 300 V VRRM, while SF66G is rated for 400 V. Substituting SF66G for SF65G is electrically safe (higher voltage rating), but may increase forward voltage slightly (1.300 V vs. 1.300 V - same spec bin) and alter thermal behavior due to different junction capacitance (50 pF vs. 50 pF - identical). Verify layout clearance and snubber tuning if operating near 300 V limits.
What is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of SF66G?
The SF66G has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 40 °C/W, measured under standard JEDEC test conditions (single device on FR-4 board with 1 in² copper pad). This value assumes minimal PCB copper; actual RθJA improves significantly with added thermal land and internal planes. For accurate thermal design, use RθJL = 5 °C/W with proper lead heatsinking in SF66G applications.
