Product details
Overview
SFAF806G from Taiwan Semiconductor is an 8A, 400V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) super fast rectifier diode in ITO-220AC package, featuring 1.300 V forward voltage at 8A/25°C, 35 ns reverse recovery time, and AEC-Q101 qualification option; used in switching-mode DC-DC converters requiring high surge capability and low conduction loss.
For engineers reviewing the SFAF806G datasheet, SFAF806G pinout, SFAF806G application, or SFAF806G equivalent, key selection criteria include verified VRRM = 400 V, IF = 8 A continuous rating, trr = 35 ns, RθJC = 4 °C/W thermal resistance, and ITO-220AC mechanical compatibility with heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
The SFAF806G is a single-die, glass-passivated silicon super fast recovery rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications. Its 400 V VRRM, 125 A IFSM (8.3 ms half-sine), and 35 ns trr enable efficient freewheeling and output rectification in compact SMPS designs.
Thermally, it delivers 4 °C/W junction-to-case resistance and operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range. The device meets UL 94V-0 flammability, JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance per IEC 61249-2-21.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - maximum non-repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in flyback/freewheeling circuits |
| IF | 8 A - continuous average forward current at case temperature ≤ 100°C; determines heatsink sizing baseline |
| IFSM | 125 A - peak non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms); supports inrush and transient overload tolerance |
| VF | 1.300 V @ 8 A, 25°C - forward conduction loss directly impacts efficiency and thermal rise in high-duty-cycle operation |
| trr | 35 ns - reverse recovery time; enables stable operation up to ~3 MHz switching frequencies with minimal switching loss |
| RθJC | 4 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to case; enables direct calculation of junction temperature rise under known power dissipation |
| CJ | 60 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - junction capacitance affects EMI generation and snubber design in high-dv/dt environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: ITO-220AC - insulated through-hole outline with single anode/cathode terminals, matte tin-plated leads (J-STD-002 solderable), UL 94V-0 molding compound, and 0.56 N·m max mounting torque.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH8R04DJF | VRRM = 400 V, IF = 8 A, trr = 30 ns, TO-220AC package, but no AEC-Q101 option | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial only | Preferred when ultra-fast trr (30 ns) is prioritized over automotive compliance |
| ON Semi MUR840E | VRRM = 400 V, IF = 8 A, trr = 50 ns, same ITO-220AC footprint, halogen-free | Slower recovery increases switching loss above 200 kHz; wider VF spread (1.25–1.55 V) | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency at high frequency |
Compared with STTH8R04DJF and MUR840E, the SFAF806G offers balanced trr (35 ns), tight VF spec (≤1.300 V), and optional AEC-Q101 qualification-making it optimal for thermally constrained, automotive-adjacent, or high-reliability industrial SMPS where both speed and ruggedness matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for SFAF806G?
The SFAF806G has a specified VRRM of 400 V, confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table across all versions of the SFAF801G–SFAF808G family. This value defines the highest reverse voltage the device can block repeatedly without breakdown and is validated per JEDEC test conditions.
Is SFAF806G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-the SFAF806G is available in an AEC-Q101 qualified version designated SFAF806GH. While the base SFAF806G is not automotive-qualified, the GH suffix indicates full stress testing per AEC-Q101, enabling use in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power stages where reliability under thermal cycling and vibration is mandatory.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of SFAF806G at rated current?
The SFAF806G exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.300 V at IF = 8 A and TJ = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and represents worst-case conduction loss for thermal design calculations.
Does SFAF806G have a defined reverse recovery time (trr)?
Yes-the SFAF806G has a maximum reverse recovery time of 35 ns, tested at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This parameter is explicitly listed in the Electrical Specifications table and applies to all members of the SFAF805G–SFAF808G subgroup, confirming its suitability for high-frequency switching topologies.
What package type does SFAF806G use, and how is thermal management handled?
SFAF806G uses the ITO-220AC package, with the metal tab internally connected to the cathode and serving as the primary thermal path. Its junction-to-case thermal resistance is 4 °C/W, enabling direct heatsink mounting. Mounting torque must not exceed 0.56 N·m to avoid mechanical damage while ensuring optimal thermal contact.
