Product details
Overview
SFAS801G from Taiwan Semiconductor is an 8A, 50V repetitive peak reverse voltage super fast surface-mount rectifier in TO-263AB (D2PAK) package, featuring 0.95V forward voltage at 8A/25°C, 35ns reverse recovery time, and 125A surge capability - deployed in DC-DC converters and switching-mode inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SFAS801G datasheet, SFAS801G pinout, SFAS801G application, or SFAS801G equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM=50V, IF=8A, trr=35ns, RθJC=2.2°C/W, and TO-263AB thermal performance for high-efficiency power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This single-die, glass-passivated super fast rectifier delivers low conduction loss and rapid switching via optimized PN junction design. Its 35ns reverse recovery time and 0.95V forward voltage at rated current support high-frequency operation in hard-switched topologies.
The device operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range with 2.2°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, enabling reliable thermal management in compact D2PAK-mounted power stages without forced cooling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines minimum input/output isolation margin in 24–48V DC-DC systems |
| IF | 8 A - Continuous average forward current; supports sustained output power up to ~384W at 48V with appropriate heatsinking |
| trr | 35 ns - Measured at IF=0.5A, IR=1.0A, Irr=0.25A; enables stable operation up to ~3 MHz switching frequency |
| VF | 0.95 V @ 8A, 25°C - Directly determines conduction loss (7.6W at full load), critical for efficiency optimization |
| RθJC | 2.2 °C/W - Enables calculation of junction temperature rise above case; allows thermal design with <10°C rise at 8A with minimal heatsink |
| CJ | 80 pF @ 1MHz, 4V - Limits capacitive turn-on loss and EMI generation in high-dv/dt applications |
Pinout & Package
TO-263AB (D2PAK) package with three terminals: Anode (pin 1), Cathode (pin 2), and exposed thermal pad (pin 3, electrically connected to cathode). Matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 solderability standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input current entry point | Connected to high-side switch node or transformer secondary; must withstand full reverse voltage during off-state |
| Cathode | Output current exit point | Common return path for load current; tied to PCB thermal pad for heat dissipation |
| Thermal Pad (exposed) | Thermal and electrical connection to cathode | Requires ≥20 mm² copper pour with ≥4 thermal vias for effective junction-to-board heat transfer |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated chip junction | Prevents moisture-induced degradation and ensures long-term reliability under humid operating conditions per J-STD-020 Level 1 |
| Super fast recovery (35ns) | Reduces switching losses and ringing in high-frequency SMPS, enabling >500 kHz operation without snubber circuits |
| Low forward voltage (0.95V) | Lowers conduction loss by ~15% vs. standard fast rectifiers, improving system efficiency in 12–48V output rails |
| High surge rating (125A) | Withstands inrush and transient overloads typical in industrial motor drives and UPS systems without failure |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU for environmentally constrained end equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-8EWH05FN-M3 | VRRM=50V, IF=8A, trr=30ns, VF=0.89V @ 8A - slightly lower VF and faster trr, but TO-252 package limits thermal performance | Lower RθJC (3.5°C/W) reduces power density capability in space-constrained layouts | Preferred where board-level thermal mass is limited and 30ns trr is critical for EMI control |
| ON Semiconductor MUR850EG | VRRM=50V, IF=8A, trr=35ns, VF=0.97V @ 8A - nearly identical timing and voltage specs, but TO-220AC package requires through-hole assembly | Higher RθJC (3.0°C/W) and larger footprint reduce suitability for high-density SMT designs | Selected when legacy through-hole compatibility or higher mechanical robustness is required |
Compared with VS-8EWH05FN-M3 and MUR850EG, the SFAS801G offers superior thermal performance (RθJC=2.2°C/W) in a surface-mount D2PAK package, enabling higher power density in automated SMT production while maintaining matching 35ns recovery and 50V rating.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SFAS801G?
The SFAS801G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C, with operational range from -55°C to +150°C. This rating allows reliable use in enclosed industrial enclosures or near heat-generating components when thermal design maintains junction temperature below this limit. The SFAS801G's 2.2°C/W RθJC enables accurate thermal modeling using measured case temperature.
Does SFAS801G support automated pick-and-place assembly?
Yes, the SFAS801G is explicitly designed for automated placement, as confirmed by its TO-263AB (D2PAK) package, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020. These features ensure compatibility with standard SMT reflow profiles and high-yield placement on production lines without special handling.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SFAS801G at elevated temperature?
The SFAS801G exhibits ≤400 µA reverse leakage current (IR) at 100°C and rated reverse voltage, per its electrical specifications table. At 25°C, leakage is ≤10 µA. This behavior is critical for low-power standby modes where reverse conduction must remain negligible across ambient temperature variations.
Is SFAS801G halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, the SFAS801G is both RoHS compliant and halogen-free according to IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives, and all lead finishes meet EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements - verified in the official TSC documentation for version N2103.
How does the 35ns reverse recovery time of SFAS801G impact EMI in switching applications?
The 35ns reverse recovery time (trr) of SFAS801G directly limits high-frequency ringing and dv/dt-induced noise during turn-off transitions. Shorter trr reduces reverse recovery charge (Qrr), lowering electromagnetic interference in 100–500 kHz SMPS designs - especially beneficial in automotive and medical-grade power supplies where conducted EMI must meet CISPR 25 Class 5 limits.
