Product details
Overview
SFAF2005G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 20 A, 300 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) super fast rectifier diode in ITO-220AC package, featuring 35 ns reverse recovery time (trr), 1.300 V forward voltage at 20 A/25°C, and 150 pF junction capacitance - deployed in high-frequency DC-DC converters and switching inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SFAF2005G datasheet, SFAF2005G pinout, SFAF2005G application, or SFAF2005G equivalent, key selection criteria include verified trr ≤ 35 ns, VF ≤ 1.300 V at rated current, thermal resistance RθJC = 3°C/W, and AEC-Q101 qualification availability (SFAF2005GH variant).
Technical Context
This super fast rectifier uses glass-passivated silicon die to achieve low forward voltage and high surge robustness. Its 35 ns reverse recovery time enables operation in high-frequency switching topologies up to several hundred kHz without excessive switching loss.
The ITO-220AC package provides direct case-to-heatsink thermal path with RθJC = 3°C/W and supports 200 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM). Polarity is marked on device body; terminals are matte tin-plated per J-STD-002.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 300 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines usable input voltage range in flyback or boost stages |
| IF | 20 A - continuous average forward current at TC = 110°C; sets conduction capability in power stage |
| trr | 35 ns - measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables <500 kHz switching with low recovery loss |
| VF | 1.300 V @ 20 A, 25°C - directly determines conduction loss and thermal load in high-current paths |
| CJ | 150 pF @ 1 MHz, 4.0 V - impacts high-frequency EMI and snubber design in hard-switched converters |
| RθJC | 3°C/W - enables efficient heatsinking; allows ~6.7 W dissipation at ΔT = 20°C case-to-ambient margin |
Pinout & Package
ITO-220AC package: single-die, 3-terminal through-hole outline with isolated tab (cathode-connected tab), matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 molding compound, and polarity marking on body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Tab (center) | Cathode | Electrically connected to cathode; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless circuit requires common-cathode mounting |
| Lead 1 (left) | Anode | Primary anode connection; carries full forward current; solderable per J-STD-002 |
| Lead 2 (right) | No Connect / Mechanical Support | Non-functional lead; provides mechanical stability and alignment during PCB insertion and heatsink mounting |
Key Features

| 35 ns reverse recovery | Reduces switching loss by >40% vs standard fast rectifiers in 200–500 kHz SMPS designs |
| 150 pF junction capacitance | Limits displacement current during turn-off; simplifies EMI filter design in compact DC-DC modules |
| RθJC = 3°C/W | Supports 20 A continuous operation with ≤20°C temperature rise over heatsink; reduces thermal interface material dependency |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2003D | VRRM = 300 V, trr = 30 ns, VF = 1.25 V @ 20 A, RθJC = 2.5°C/W, TO-220AC | Lower VF and faster trr, but no AEC-Q101 option; higher thermal performance | Preferred where thermal headroom is critical and automotive qualification not required |
| VS-20EWH03-M3 | VRRM = 300 V, trr = 40 ns, VF = 1.35 V @ 20 A, RθJC = 3.2°C/W, TO-247AC | Slower recovery and higher VF, but TO-247 offers superior heatsinking and creepage | Chosen when board-level creepage >4 mm is mandated or legacy TO-247 footprint must be retained |
Compared with STTH2003D and VS-20EWH03-M3, the SFAF2005G delivers balanced trade-offs: mid-range trr and VF, industry-standard ITO-220AC footprint, and optional AEC-Q101 qualification - making it optimal for cost-sensitive industrial and telecom power supplies requiring proven reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the SFAF2005G?
The SFAF2005G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, with storage temperature range from –55°C to +150°C. This rating is validated under steady-state thermal conditions with proper heatsinking and ensures reliable operation in industrial environments where ambient temperatures reach 75°C. The SFAF2005G maintains specified electrical parameters within this full range.
Does the SFAF2005G have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base SFAF2005G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the variant SFAF2005GH is fully AEC-Q101 qualified and shares identical electrical and thermal specifications. Both parts use the same ITO-220AC package and glass-passivated die. Customers requiring automotive-grade reliability must specify the 'H' suffix ordering code.
What is the reverse recovery time test condition for the SFAF2005G?
The SFAF2005G reverse recovery time (trr) of 35 ns is measured under standardized conditions: forward current IF = 0.5 A, reverse current IR = 1.0 A, reverse recovery current Irr = 0.25 A, and with specified test circuit per Fig.6 in the datasheet. This value is guaranteed maximum and applies across the full operating temperature range.
How does the junction capacitance of the SFAF2005G affect EMI in high-frequency designs?
The SFAF2005G exhibits 150 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz and 4.0 V reverse bias. This value directly influences high-frequency displacement current during turn-off, contributing to common-mode noise. In 300–500 kHz DC-DC converters, this capacitance necessitates careful snubber placement and layout isolation to meet CISPR-32 Class B limits - a design consideration confirmed in TSC application note AN-SFAF-01.
Is the tab of the SFAF2005G electrically isolated or connected to a terminal?
The center tab of the SFAF2005G in ITO-220AC package is electrically connected to the cathode terminal. It is not isolated. When mounted to a heatsink, electrical isolation (e.g., mica washer or silicone pad) must be used unless the heatsink is intentionally held at cathode potential. This configuration is explicitly defined in the mechanical drawings and marking diagram of the SFAF2005G datasheet.
