Product details
Overview
SF808G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 600V, 8A super fast rectifier diode in TO-220AB package, featuring 1.700 V forward voltage at 4A and 25°C, 35 ns reverse recovery time, and dual-die construction for high surge capability - deployed in high-frequency DC/DC converters and freewheeling paths in automotive-grade power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SF808G datasheet, SF808G pinout, SF808G application, or SF808G equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage (600 V), thermal resistance (3 °C/W), junction temperature range (−55 to +150 °C), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and TO-220AB mechanical compatibility with heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
The SF808G implements a super fast recovery silicon PN junction optimized for switching-mode power conversion above 50 kHz. Its 35 ns trr and low 50 pF junction capacitance per diode minimize switching losses and EMI generation during hard commutation.
Rated for 125 A non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), the device supports robust operation under transient overload conditions. Dual-die configuration enables balanced current sharing and improved thermal distribution across the TO-220AB case.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in high-voltage DC bus applications |
| IF | 8 A - continuous average forward current; determines steady-state power handling without derating at TC = 100 °C |
| IFSM | 125 A - peak non-repetitive surge current; supports inrush and fault-current tolerance in SMPS primary-side rectification |
| VF | 1.700 V @ 4 A, 25 °C - forward voltage drop per diode; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design margin |
| trr | 35 ns - reverse recovery time; critical for minimizing switching loss and cross-conduction risk in synchronous/freewheeling topologies |
| RθJC | 3 °C/W - junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables accurate heatsink sizing for 8 A continuous operation |
| Junction temp | −55 to +150 °C - operational temperature range; supports under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with three terminals: Anode (pin 1), Cathode (pin 2), and Case (pin 3, electrically connected to cathode). Mounting tab is cathode-connected and designed for direct heatsink attachment with ≤0.56 N·m torque.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Lead 1) | Anode | Input terminal for forward conduction; connects to high-side switch node or transformer secondary |
| Pin 2 (Lead 2) | Cathode | Output terminal for forward conduction; ties to output rail or ground return path |
| Pin 3 (Tab) | Cathode (common) | Electrically bonded to pin 2; provides low-inductance thermal path to heatsink and must be isolated if floating cathode required |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH8R06DJF | 600 V, 8 A, 35 ns trr, TO-220AC package (single cathode lead), RθJC = 3.5 °C/W | No AEC-Q101 variant available; lower surge rating (100 A vs. 125 A) | Preferred where AEC-Q101 compliance is not required and layout allows TO-220AC footprint |
| VS-8EWH06FN-M3 | 600 V, 8 A, 30 ns trr, TO-220AC, VF = 1.65 V @ 4 A, RθJC = 3.2 °C/W, AEC-Q101 qualified | Lower trr improves light-load efficiency but higher cost; same mounting torque spec | Best for high-frequency (>300 kHz) designs requiring tighter recovery control and automotive qualification |
Compared with STTH8R06DJF and VS-8EWH06FN-M3, the SF808G offers superior surge robustness (125 A) and lower thermal resistance (3 °C/W), making it optimal for thermally constrained or high-transient industrial and automotive applications where AEC-Q101 is optional or fulfilled via SF808GH.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the SF808G?
The SF808G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C and a minimum of −55 °C. This wide operating range supports deployment in under-hood automotive locations and high-ambient industrial enclosures. The SF808G must be mounted to a heatsink with appropriate thermal interface material to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C under full 8 A load conditions.
Is the SF808G pin-compatible with other devices in the SF80xG series?
Yes, all SF801G through SF808G share identical TO-220AB packaging, pinout (anode–cathode–tab), and mechanical dimensions. Voltage ratings differ only in internal die design - VRRM scales from 50 V to 600 V - so SF808G can replace lower-voltage variants in high-voltage designs without PCB changes, provided thermal and electrical margins are verified.
Does the SF808G have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base SF808G is not AEC-Q101 qualified, but the SF808GH variant is explicitly qualified per AEC-Q101 Rev D. Both share identical electrical specs and TO-220AB packaging; the "H" suffix denotes qualification testing including HTOL, temperature cycling, and HTRB. For automotive applications, specify SF808GH to ensure compliance.
What is the forward voltage drop of the SF808G at rated current?
The SF808G exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 1.700 V at 4 A and 25 °C, measured per diode. At full 8 A average current and elevated junction temperature (125 °C), VF increases to approximately 1.85 V. This value directly determines conduction loss and must be included in thermal modeling for the SF808G.
How does the SF808G's reverse recovery time compare to standard fast rectifiers?
The SF808G achieves a reverse recovery time (trr) of 35 ns under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A conditions - significantly faster than standard fast rectifiers (typically 100–500 ns). This enables efficient operation in high-frequency SMPS designs and reduces switching losses and EMI compared to slower alternatives like UF808G or BYV26E.
