Product details
Overview
SFAF802G from Taiwan Semiconductor is an 8A, 100V repetitive peak reverse voltage super fast rectifier diode in ITO-220AC package, featuring 35ns reverse recovery time, 0.95V forward voltage at 8A/25°C, and 4°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance for high-efficiency DC-DC and switching-mode power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the SFAF802G datasheet, SFAF802G pinout, SFAF802G application, or SFAF802G equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM=100V, trr=35ns, VF≤0.95V @8A, TJ(max)=150°C, and ITO-220AC mechanical compatibility with heatsink mounting requirements.
Technical Context
This super fast rectifier uses a glass-passivated single-die silicon junction optimized for low conduction loss and rapid carrier recombination. Its 35ns trr and 0.95V VF at rated current support high-frequency operation in SMPS topologies without sacrificing thermal margin.
The device operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, with 125A non-repetitive surge capability and 4°C/W RθJC, enabling robust performance in automotive-grade (AEC-Q101 optional) and industrial power supplies where reliability under transient stress is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines usable input voltage headroom in flyback or boost converters |
| IF | 8 A - Continuous forward current rating; sets minimum heatsink sizing for steady-state conduction loss management |
| trr | 35 ns - Reverse recovery time; enables stable operation up to ~3 MHz switching frequency before significant switching loss penalty |
| VF @ 8A, 25°C | 0.95 V - Forward voltage drop; determines conduction loss of 7.6 W at full load, directly impacting efficiency and thermal design |
| RθJC | 4 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; allows calculation of case temperature rise under load for mechanical mounting validation |
| IFSM | 125 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current; supports handling of inrush or fault transients without bond-wire failure |
| TJ(max) | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; sets upper limit for thermal design margin in enclosed or high-ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
ITO-220AC package: 3-terminal through-hole outline with isolated tab (cathode-connected), matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 molding compound, and 0.56 N·m maximum mounting torque. Polarity marked on device body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input current entry point | Connected to switching node or transformer secondary; must withstand full reverse voltage during off-state |
| Cathode | Output current exit point | Electrically tied to metal tab; requires insulated mounting when referenced to non-ground potentials |
| Tab (Cathode) | Thermal and electrical cathode terminal | Serves as primary heat path to heatsink; electrically identical to cathode pin; isolation required if heatsink is grounded |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Super fast recovery (trr = 35 ns) | Enables >1 MHz switching in compact SMPS designs while limiting reverse recovery charge and associated EMI |
| Glass passivated junction | Provides long-term stability against humidity and contamination in automotive and industrial environments |
| Low VF (0.95 V @ 8A) | Reduces conduction losses by ~15% vs. standard fast rectifiers, improving full-load efficiency and easing thermal constraints |
| High surge rating (IFSM = 125 A) | Withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surges common in AC line start-up or motor drive freewheeling without degradation |
| UL Recognized (E-326243) | Validates safety compliance for end-equipment certification in North American and global markets |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH8L06D (STMicroelectronics) | VRRM = 600 V, trr = 30 ns, VF = 1.15 V @ 8A, TO-220AC package | Higher voltage rating suits universal-input PFC stages; slightly higher VF increases conduction loss | Select when 600V blocking is required and faster trr justifies 0.2V VF penalty |
| ES8D (ON Semiconductor) | VRRM = 200 V, trr = 35 ns, VF = 0.92 V @ 8A, TO-220AC package | Lower cost alternative with tighter VF tolerance but no AEC-Q101 option or UL recognition | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial SMPS where automotive qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with STTH8L06D and ES8D, the SFAF802G offers optimal balance of 100V rating, 35ns trr, 0.95V VF, and UL/AEC-Q101 readiness-making it ideal for mid-voltage automotive and telecom DC-DC where reliability and thermal performance are prioritized over extreme voltage margin or lowest possible VF.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SFAF802G?
The SFAF802G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ(max)) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet Version L2106. This rating applies across the full operating current range and enables use in under-hood automotive and enclosed industrial power supplies where ambient temperatures exceed 85°C. Derating curves confirm 8A continuous current remains valid up to 125°C case temperature when mounted on a properly sized heatsink.
Is SFAF802G pin-compatible with other ITO-220AC rectifiers like STTH8R06D?
Yes, the SFAF802G uses the industry-standard ITO-220AC package with identical mechanical footprint, lead spacing, and tab configuration as STTH8R06D and similar devices. However, electrical characteristics differ: SFAF802G is rated for 100V VRRM and 0.95V VF, whereas STTH8R06D is 600V/1.15V. PCB layout reuse is mechanically feasible, but circuit validation is required due to voltage and loss differences.
Does SFAF802G meet AEC-Q101 reliability standards?
The base SFAF802G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; only the variant SFAF802GH carries that qualification. Per Taiwan Semiconductor's ordering information, the "H" suffix denotes AEC-Q101 compliance-including stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, and high-temperature operating life. For automotive applications requiring qualification evidence, SFAF802GH-not SFAF802G-must be specified and procured.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for SFAF802G and how is it measured?
The SFAF802G has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 35 ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, per the Electrical Specifications table in the L2106 datasheet. This test uses a standardized half-sine waveform with defined di/dt and voltage slew rate, ensuring repeatable comparison across super fast rectifier families. The value reflects actual device physics-not typical or guaranteed min-and applies at TA = 25°C.
Can SFAF802G replace SFAF801G in a design?
Yes, SFAF802G can directly replace SFAF801G in most applications because both share identical package (ITO-220AC), current rating (8A), thermal performance (RθJC = 4°C/W), and recovery speed (trr = 35 ns). The only difference is VRRM: SFAF801G is rated for 50V, while SFAF802G is rated for 100V. Substituting SFAF802G provides increased reverse voltage margin without altering layout, thermal design, or control loop behavior.
