Product details
Overview
SRF1620 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 16A, 20V repetitive peak reverse voltage Schottky barrier rectifier in ITO-220AB package with dual-die configuration, 2.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and AEC-Q101 qualification option (SRF1620H). It delivers low forward voltage (max 0.55V at 8A, 25°C) and high surge capability (200A, 8.3ms) for compact SMPS designs.
For engineers reviewing the SRF1620 datasheet, SRF1620 pinout, SRF1620 application, or SRF1620 equivalent, key selection factors include its 20V VRRM, 125°C max junction temperature, UL Recognized File #E-326243 compliance, matte tin-plated leads per J-STD-002, and guard ring–enabled overvoltage protection-critical for automotive-grade power conversion reliability.
Technical Context
The SRF1620 implements a dual-die Schottky structure in a single ITO-220AB case, enabling parallel current handling while maintaining low conduction loss. Its 2.5°C/W RθJC supports high-power density mounting on heatsinks without forced airflow.
Rated for -55°C to +125°C operation (with optional +150°C version in higher-voltage variants), it uses guard ring technology to suppress edge breakdown and withstand transient overvoltages common in DC-DC converter flyback and synchronous rectification circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 20 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in low-voltage DC-DC outputs and adapter secondary-side rectification. |
| IF | 16 A - Continuous forward current rating at case temperature; enables high-efficiency 12–24V output stages without external cooling. |
| IFSM | 200 A - Non-repetitive surge current (8.3ms half-sine); sustains inrush and fault transients in industrial power supplies. |
| VF (max) | 0.55 V @ 8A, 25°C - Low conduction loss reduces heat generation and improves system efficiency above 90% in 12V/15A converters. |
| RθJC | 2.5 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; allows direct heatsink mounting with predictable temperature rise under full load. |
| TJ max | 125 °C - Maximum junction temperature; sets thermal design margin for sealed enclosures and ambient temperatures up to 85°C. |
| IR (max) | 500 µA @ 20V, 25°C - Low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on auxiliary rails. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-16CTQ020PbF | Same 20V VRRM, 16A IF, TO-220AC package; 0.52V VF (typ), but no guard ring or AEC-Q101 option. | Lacks integrated overvoltage protection; requires external snubbing in noisy industrial environments. | Preferred where lowest VF dominates and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| ON Semiconductor MBR1620CT | 20V VRRM, 16A IF, TO-220AB package; 0.65V VF (max), no AEC-Q101, higher RθJC (3.0°C/W). | Higher conduction loss increases thermal load; not rated for automotive underhood temperature profiles. | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer adapters where 125°C operation is not required. |
Compared with VS-16CTQ020PbF and MBR1620CT, the SRF1620 offers superior transient robustness via guard ring design and AEC-Q101 availability-making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial applications demanding long-term reliability under voltage stress and thermal cycling.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the SRF1620?
The SRF1620 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +125°C under normal operating conditions. This rating applies to the standard version; higher-voltage members of the SRF16xx family (e.g., SRF16100, SRF16150) extend to +150°C. The 125°C limit defines the upper thermal boundary for derating calculations and heatsink sizing in continuous 16A operation.
Does the SRF1620 have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base SRF1620 is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the SRF1620H variant-identical in all electrical and thermal specifications-is explicitly qualified per AEC-Q101. The "H" suffix denotes automotive-grade screening, including extended temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and unbiased high-humidity bias testing. Always specify SRF1620H for automotive applications.
What is the forward voltage specification for the SRF1620 at full rated current?
The SRF1620 specifies a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 0.55 V at 8 A and 25°C junction temperature. At full 16 A continuous current, VF rises due to self-heating; typical curves show ~0.62 V at 16 A and 100°C junction temperature. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (0.3 ms pulse width) to minimize thermal effects during test.
How does the guard ring feature improve reliability in the SRF1620?
The guard ring in the SRF1620 is a diffused p-type region surrounding the main Schottky junction that equalizes electric field distribution at the silicon edge. This prevents premature avalanche breakdown during voltage transients-such as those occurring in flyback snubber networks or load dump events-thereby extending device lifetime and maintaining stable VRRM performance over 10+ years in automotive applications.
What packaging and taping options are available for the SRF1620?
The SRF1620 is supplied in ITO-220AB package, packed 50 units per tube. Tape-and-reel packaging is not offered for this part number. For automated assembly, customers may use tube-to-tape transfer equipment compatible with ITO-220AB dimensions. The "H" variant (SRF1620H) uses identical packaging and packing format.
