Product details
Overview
SFAS803G from Taiwan Semiconductor is an 8A, 150V repetitive peak reverse voltage super fast surface-mount rectifier in TO-263AB (D2PAK) package, featuring 35ns reverse recovery time, 0.95V forward voltage at 8A/25°C, and 2.2°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance-used in DC-DC converters and switching-mode inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SFAS803G datasheet, SFAS803G pinout, SFAS803G application, or SFAS803G equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM=150V, IF=8A, trr=35ns, RθJC=2.2°C/W, and TO-263AB mechanical compatibility for high-efficiency power conversion designs.
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 reverse recovery time and 0.95V forward voltage at rated current support high-frequency switching topologies up to several hundred kHz.
The TO-263AB (D2PAK) package provides robust thermal performance with 2.2°C/W junction-to-case resistance and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability, enabling reliable automated placement and high surge tolerance (IFSM=125A).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 150 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in flyback/freewheeling paths |
| IF | 8 A - Continuous average forward current; determines heatsink sizing and PCB copper area requirements |
| trr | 35 ns - Reverse recovery time; enables efficient operation in 100–500 kHz SMPS without excessive switching loss |
| VF | 0.95 V @ 8A, 25°C - Forward voltage drop; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design at full load |
| RθJC | 2.2 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; allows direct calculation of case temperature rise under given power dissipation |
| CJ | 80 pF @ 1 MHz, 4V - Junction capacitance; influences high-frequency noise coupling and snubber design |
Pinout & Package
TO-263AB (D2PAK) package with three terminals: Anode (pin 1), Cathode (pin 2), and exposed thermal pad (pin 3, internally connected to cathode). The device marking "SFAS803G" appears on the top surface; polarity is indicated by cathode band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to switching node or transformer secondary; must withstand peak reverse voltage and surge current |
| Cathode | Output current exit point during forward conduction | Typically tied to output rail or ground return; electrically bonded to thermal pad for heat transfer |
| Thermal Pad (exposed) | Primary thermal path to PCB | Requires minimum 100 mm² copper pour with ≥4 thermal vias for effective junction cooling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Enables stable long-term reliability under humidity and thermal cycling per J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity |
| Super fast recovery (35 ns) | Reduces switching loss in high-frequency converters compared to standard fast rectifiers (>100 ns) |
| Low VF (0.95 V) | Lowers conduction loss by ~15% versus comparable 150V rectifiers with VF ≥ 1.1 V at 8A |
| High IFSM (125 A) | Withstands transient surges in PFC and motor drive applications without degradation |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU for environmentally regulated end equipment |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH8R06D | VRRM=600V, trr=35ns, VF=1.7V @ 8A - higher voltage rating but 79% higher forward loss | Used where system-level overvoltage margin exceeds 300V; unsuitable for 150V-rail efficiency-critical designs | Select only if reverse voltage derating requires >3× VIN; avoid when VF-driven thermal budget is tight |
| MBR8150CT | Dual common-cathode configuration, VRRM=150V, trr=35ns, VF=0.92V - same voltage/speed but dual die in TO-220AB | Preferred in dual-output or interleaved converter layouts requiring matched diodes; not surface-mount compatible | Choose for through-hole assembly or dual-path redundancy; reject for D2PAK footprint or automated SMT lines |
Compared with STTH8R06D and MBR8150CT, SFAS803G delivers optimal balance of 150V blocking, 0.95V conduction loss, and TO-263AB thermal performance for space-constrained, high-efficiency SMT power stages-without over-spec'ing voltage or sacrificing mounting flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SFAS803G?
The SFAS803G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet Version N2103. This limit applies under continuous operation with proper thermal management via the TO-263AB thermal pad. Exceeding this temperature risks irreversible parametric shift or bond wire failure. Derating curves in Figure 1 confirm usable current drops to ~5.5A at 125°C case temperature.
Does SFAS803G support automated pick-and-place assembly?
Yes, SFAS803G supports automated placement per its mechanical data: it features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability standards and moisture sensitivity level 1 (per J-STD-020), eliminating bake requirements before reflow. The TO-263AB (D2PAK) body geometry and standardized tape-and-reel packaging (800 units per reel) are validated for high-yield SMT line integration.
What is the reverse recovery time test condition for SFAS803G?
The SFAS803G reverse recovery time (trr) of 35 ns is measured under the condition: IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A, per the Electrical Specifications table in the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This standardized test reflects real-world behavior in hard-switched converters and confirms suitability for 200–500 kHz operation without significant recovery-related losses.
How does the junction capacitance of SFAS803G affect EMI in switching circuits?
SFAS803G exhibits 80 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz and 4.0 V reverse bias, which influences high-frequency noise generation during turn-off. In 300 kHz+ converters, this value contributes to ringing amplitude and dv/dt-induced EMI; designers mitigate it using RC snubbers or optimizing layout to minimize parasitic inductance. Lower CJ variants (e.g., SFAS805G at 60 pF) trade off higher VF for reduced capacitive coupling.
Is SFAS803G halogen-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes, SFAS803G is both halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21 and RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU, as explicitly stated in the Features section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet Version N2103. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants, and lead content is below 1000 ppm, satisfying environmental compliance for global industrial and consumer shipments.
