Product details
Overview
SFA807G from Taiwan Semiconductor is an AEC-Q101-qualified super fast rectifier diode in TO-220AC package, rated for 500 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 8 A average forward current (IF), and 1.7 V forward voltage at 8 A and 25°C. It delivers low power loss and high surge capability (IFSM = 125 A) for switching-mode power supplies in automotive and industrial DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SFA807G datasheet, SFA807G pinout, SFA807G application, or SFA807G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 500 V VRRM, 35 ns reverse recovery time (trr), 60 pF junction capacitance, 4 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The SFA807G is a single-die, unidirectional super fast recovery rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications. Its 35 ns trr and low Qrr minimize switching losses, while the 500 V VRRM and 125 A IFSM support robust operation under transient overloads in SMPS and freewheeling paths.
Thermally, it features a TO-220AC package with 4 °C/W RθJC, enabling efficient heat transfer to heatsinks. The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and exhibits only 400 µA reverse leakage at 125°C - critical for stable performance in under-hood automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 500 V - supports input stages of 400 V DC bus systems with 25% safety margin |
| IF | 8 A continuous - sustains steady-state conduction in mid-power SMPS outputs |
| trr | 35 ns - enables efficient operation up to ~500 kHz switching frequencies |
| VF | 1.7 V @ 8 A, 25°C - contributes to <13.6 W conduction loss at full load |
| CJ | 60 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - reduces capacitive switching noise and EMI in high-dv/dt circuits |
| RθJC | 4 °C/W - allows 125°C junction temperature with ≤100°C case temp at 8 A |
| IFSM | 125 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands inrush and short-circuit surges without failure |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH8R06D | 600 V VRRM, 8 A IF, 1.85 V VF, 40 ns trr, TO-220AC | Higher VRRM but higher VF and slower recovery than SFA807G | Prefer when 600 V margin is required and 0.15 V higher conduction loss is acceptable |
| VS-8EWH06FN-M3 | 600 V VRRM, 8 A IF, 1.75 V VF, 30 ns trr, TO-220AC, AEC-Q101 | 30 ns trr (5 ns faster), identical VF, same qualification level | Choose when sub-35 ns recovery is needed for >600 kHz operation or lower EMI |
Compared with STTH8R06D and VS-8EWH06FN-M3, the SFA807G offers optimal balance of 500 V rating, 1.7 V VF, and 35 ns trr for cost-sensitive automotive and industrial SMPS where 600 V margin is unnecessary and thermal efficiency is prioritized over ultra-fast switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the SFA807G?
The SFA807G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C, with a storage temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. This rating enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial enclosures. Derating curves in the official SFA807G datasheet define allowable IF versus case temperature, and the 4 °C/W RθJC supports thermal design up to this limit when properly heatsinked.
Is the SFA807G pin-compatible with other devices in the SFA801G–SFA808G family?
Yes, all SFA801G–SFA808G devices share identical TO-220AC packaging, pinout, and terminal configuration - Anode (tab), Cathode (lead 2), and NC (lead 1). The SFA807G can be substituted within the same footprint for any voltage variant in the family, provided the 500 V VRRM meets system requirements. No PCB layout change is needed for family-level replacement.
Does the SFA807G have AEC-Q101 qualification?
Yes, the SFA807G is AEC-Q101 qualified - confirmed in the official Taiwan Semiconductor documentation for the SFA801G–SFA808G series. Qualification includes stress testing for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and electrostatic discharge (ESD), making the SFA807G suitable for automotive powertrain and chassis applications where reliability is mission-critical.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for the SFA807G?
The SFA807G has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 35 ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table of the SFA807G datasheet and reflects its super fast recovery performance, enabling efficient operation in high-frequency switching topologies such as phase-shifted full-bridge and LLC resonant converters.
How does the forward voltage (VF) of the SFA807G compare to lower-voltage variants in the same family?
The SFA807G exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 1.7 V at 8 A and 25°C - higher than SFA804G (0.975 V) but lower than SFA808G (1.7 V, same spec). This increase reflects the trade-off between higher blocking voltage and conduction loss. At 125°C, VF decreases slightly due to negative temperature coefficient, maintaining predictable thermal behavior in the SFA807G across its operating range.
