Product details
Overview
SFS1607GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 16A, 500V super fast surface-mount rectifier in TO-263AB (D2PAK) package, featuring 1.700 V forward voltage at 8A/25°C, 35 ns reverse recovery time, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability in freewheeling and snubber circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SFS1607GH datasheet, SFS1607GH pinout, SFS1607GH application, or SFS1607GH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 500V repetitive peak reverse voltage, dual-die configuration, junction-to-case thermal resistance of 2.5°C/W, and moisture sensitivity level 1 compliance for high-volume automated assembly.
Technical Context
The SFS1607GH integrates two independent silicon die in a single TO-263AB thermally optimized package, enabling high-current freewheeling paths with low conduction loss and fast switching recovery. Its 35 ns trr and 60 pF junction capacitance support high-frequency DC–DC converter operation up to several hundred kHz.
Designed for automotive-grade robustness, the device meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD. The 1.700 V VF at 8A and 125 A IFSM rating allow reliable handling of transient surge currents in inductive load switching applications.
Key Specifications

| IF | 16 A - continuous average forward current rating at TC = 110°C, defining steady-state power handling |
| IFSM | 125 A - non-repetitive surge current capability for motor startup or inductive turn-off transients |
| VF @ 8A, 25°C | 1.700 V - forward voltage drop per diode, directly determining conduction loss in high-current paths |
| trr | 35 ns - reverse recovery time, critical for minimizing switching losses in high-frequency converters |
| RθJC | 2.5 °C/W - junction-to-case thermal resistance, enabling direct heatsink mounting for thermal management |

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-16EWH05FN-M3 | 500V VRRM, 1.75V VF @ 8A, 30 ns trr, TO-263AB package | Slightly faster recovery but higher VF increases conduction loss at >6A | Prefer for ultra-high-frequency snubbers where trr dominates loss budget |
| ON Semiconductor MUR1650CTG | 500V VRRM, 1.85V VF @ 8A, 60 ns trr, TO-220AB package | Larger TO-220 footprint, slower recovery, higher thermal resistance (3.0°C/W) | Acceptable for lower-frequency (<100 kHz), space-tolerant designs with simpler thermal management |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the SFS1607GH?
The SFS1607GH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) of +150°C, validated across its full operating range from –55°C to +150°C. This rating enables use in underhood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial enclosures. Thermal design must maintain junction temperature below this limit using the specified RθJC of 2.5°C/W and appropriate heatsinking. Derating curves in the official datasheet define safe current limits at elevated case temperatures.
Is the SFS1607GH pin-compatible with other parts in the SFS160xGH series?
Yes, all SFS1601GH through SFS1608GH share identical TO-263AB (D2PAK) packaging, pinout, and thermal pad layout. The only differences are VRRM ratings (50V to 600V) and forward voltage characteristics-SFS1607GH is rated for 500V with 1.700 V VF at 8A. This uniformity allows design reuse across voltage grades without PCB changes.
Does the SFS1607GH meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the SFS1607GH is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Its matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 molding compound, and lead-free construction satisfy global environmental regulations for automotive and industrial electronics. The device carries no exemptions and is fully compatible with lead-free reflow profiles.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the SFS1607GH at high temperature?
At TJ = 125°C and rated VR, the SFS1607GH exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 400 µA per diode. At 25°C, IR is limited to 10 µA. These values are measured under standardized pulse conditions (PW = 30 ms) and reflect stable performance under thermal stress-critical for snubber and hold-up capacitor discharge applications.
How does the dual-die configuration of the SFS1607GH impact circuit layout?
The SFS1607GH's dual-die structure provides two independent anodes sharing one cathode, allowing flexible implementation as either two separate 16A rectifiers or paralleled paths for enhanced current capacity. Layout must maintain symmetrical trace lengths to both anodes to ensure balanced current sharing; the common cathode pad serves as the primary thermal and electrical return node.
