Product details
Overview
SFS1604G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 16 A average forward current super fast surface-mount rectifier in TO-263AB (D2PAK) package, with 0.975 V forward voltage at 8 A and 25°C junction temperature, used for freewheeling and DC-DC converter output rectification.
For engineers reviewing the SFS1604G datasheet, SFS1604G pinout, SFS1604G application, or SFS1604G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 V VRRM, 125 A non-repetitive surge rating, 35 ns reverse recovery time, 80 pF junction capacitance at 4 V, and thermal resistance of 2.5 °C/W - all critical for high-frequency switching power supply design.
Technical Context
The SFS1604G is a single-die, single-phase super fast recovery rectifier optimized for high-efficiency, high-frequency switching applications. It features low Qrr and tight trr distribution, enabling reduced switching losses in synchronous and quasi-resonant topologies.
Its 2.5 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance supports high-power density layouts when mounted on copper-clad PCBs with thermal pads. The device operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum blocking voltage in reverse bias; defines usable input/output voltage range in DC-DC converters |
| IF | 16 A - Continuous average forward current at case temperature ≤ 110°C; sets conduction capability in primary/secondary side rectification |
| VF @ 8A, 25°C | 0.975 V - Forward voltage drop per diode; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design margin |

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated 48 V–12 V buck-derived DC-DC converters operating at 200–300 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve conducting during transformer reset phase; replaces Schottky where higher VRRM is required. Use Value: 0.975 V VF and 35 ns trr minimize combined conduction and switching losses, improving efficiency by ≥0.8% at full load vs. standard FRDs. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path in three-phase motor drive inverters using IGBTs or SiC MOSFETs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss current recirculation path during PWM off-time; clamps inductive kickback energy. Use Value: 200 V VRRM and 125 A IFSM support 400 V bus systems with high di/dt transients; 80 pF CJ limits capacitive coupling into gate drivers. |
| AC-DC PFC Boost Diode | Industrial Power Supply Snubber Network |
Use Scenario: Output diode in continuous conduction mode (CCM) boost PFC stage for 85–265 V AC inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage, high-current rectifier handling peak currents up to 10 A at 100 kHz switching frequency. Use Value: 2.5 °C/W RθJC enables direct thermal coupling to heatsink-equipped PCBs, maintaining TJ < 130°C under full load without forced air. | Use Scenario: Clamp diode in RCD snubber networks across flyback transformer primary windings.

Use Value: 35 ns trr ensures clean voltage clamping with minimal tail current, reducing snubber loss and improving MOSFET SOA margin. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1602CW | 200 V VRRM, 16 A IF, 1.05 V VF @ 8 A, 30 ns trr, TO-247AC package | Higher VF and larger through-hole package; lower thermal resistance but requires hole mounting | Preferred where higher surge margin and legacy through-hole assembly exist; not suitable for space-constrained SMT designs |
| ON Semiconductor MUR1620CT | 200 V VRRM, dual common-cathode configuration, 1.15 V VF @ 8 A, 60 ns trr, TO-220AB package | Dual-diode layout and slower recovery increase conduction loss and limit max switching frequency | Acceptable for lower-frequency (<100 kHz) industrial supplies; avoid in high-density or high-frequency SMPS |
Compared with STTH1602CW and MUR1620CT, the SFS1604G delivers superior thermal performance in surface-mount form factor, tighter trr control than MUR1620CT, and lower VF than both - making it optimal for compact, high-efficiency 200–300 kHz DC-DC and inverter designs requiring automated assembly.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for the SFS1604G?
The SFS1604G has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 200 V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version O2103). This rating defines the highest reverse-biased voltage the device can block continuously without breakdown, and is fixed for the SFS1604G within the SFS1601G–SFS1608G family.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of the SFS1604G under typical operating conditions?
The SFS1604G exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 0.975 V at 8 A forward current and 25°C junction temperature, per the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and represents the conduction loss baseline used for thermal and efficiency calculations in real-world SFS1604G applications.
Does the SFS1604G have a specified reverse recovery time (trr)?
Yes, the SFS1604G has a specified reverse recovery time (trr) of 35 ns, measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This parameter is explicitly listed in the Electrical Specifications section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet and confirms the device's suitability for high-frequency switching applications up to ~500 kHz.
What package type does the SFS1604G use, and is it lead-free?
The SFS1604G uses the TO-263AB (D2PAK) surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads and green molding compound. It is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, and its moisture sensitivity level is rated J-STD-020 Level 1 - meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking prior to reflow.
Is the SFS1604G suitable for automotive applications?
The SFS1604G is not qualified to AEC-Q101 or automotive-grade reliability standards. While it operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature and meets industrial-level robustness requirements (JESD201 Class 2 whisker test, J-STD-020 Level 1), Taiwan Semiconductor explicitly states these devices are "not designed for use in medical, life-saving, or life-sustaining applications" - and automotive safety-critical systems fall under this restriction unless separately qualified.
