Product details
Overview
SFAF808GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is an AEC-Q101-qualified super fast rectifier diode in ITO-220AC package, rated for 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 8 A average forward current (IF), and 125 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM). It delivers 1.700 V max forward voltage at 8 A and 25°C, with 35 ns reverse recovery time (trr) and 60 pF junction capacitance-optimized for high-frequency switching in automotive DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SFAF808GH datasheet, SFAF808GH pinout, SFAF808GH application, or SFAF808GH equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 600 V blocking capability, low trr for reduced switching loss, glass-passivated junction for reliability, and ITO-220AC thermal performance (RθJC = 4°C/W).
Technical Context
This super fast rectifier employs a single-die silicon PN junction with glass passivation to ensure stable operation under high dv/dt and repetitive surge stress. Its 35 ns reverse recovery time and low stored charge enable efficient operation in hard-switched topologies above 100 kHz.
The device operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability. UL Recognized (E-326243) and RoHS/halogen-free (IEC 61249-2-21) construction supports automotive and industrial safety requirements.

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, trr = 30 ns, TO-220AC package, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Targeted at industrial SMPS; lacks automotive stress validation | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and slightly faster trr is prioritized |
| VS-8EWH06FN-M3 | 600 V, 8 A, trr = 40 ns, ITO-220AC, AEC-Q101 qualified, VF = 1.75 V max | Designed for EV onboard chargers; higher VF but same qualification level | Prefer when supply chain diversification is needed and 50 mV VF penalty is acceptable |
Compared with STTH8R06DJF and VS-8EWH06FN-M3, the SFAF808GH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 600 V rating, 35 ns trr, and 1.700 V VF in ITO-220AC-making it optimal for automotive-grade, high-frequency rectification where reliability and thermal performance are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SFAF808GH?
The SFAF808GH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C, verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This rating allows operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings when mounted with appropriate heatsinking per its 4°C/W RθJC. Derating curves in the datasheet define safe IF limits above 25°C ambient.
Is SFAF808GH pin-compatible with other devices in the SFAF80xG family?
Yes, all SFAF80xG variants-including SFAF808GH-share identical ITO-220AC packaging, pinout (anode/cathode/tab), and mechanical footprint. Voltage ratings differ per part number (50 V to 600 V), but PCB layout, mounting, and thermal interface design remain unchanged across the family.
Does SFAF808GH require a heatsink in typical 8 A operation?
Yes, sustained 8 A conduction requires heatsinking. With RθJC = 4°C/W and max TJ = 150°C, even at 25°C ambient, junction temperature would exceed rating without thermal management. A heatsink maintaining case temperature ≤110°C is necessary-verified by thermal simulation or empirical measurement per application layout.
What does the "H" suffix signify in SFAF808GH?
The "H" suffix in SFAF808GH explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification. This means the device has passed accelerated stress tests including high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling (TC), and high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB)-validating suitability for automotive power electronics where reliability is mission-critical.
How does the junction capacitance of SFAF808GH affect high-frequency performance?
SFAF808GH exhibits 60 pF typical junction capacitance at 4.0 V reverse bias and 1 MHz. This low CJ reduces capacitive turn-on loss and improves EMI profile in >100 kHz switching applications-critical for minimizing noise in automotive DC/DC converters and enabling tighter gate drive timing margins in half-bridge configurations.
