Product details
Overview
STTH1R04 from STMicroelectronics is a 1 A, 400 V ultrafast recovery diode using platinum-doped planar technology, optimized for switching-mode base drive and transistor circuits in low-voltage, high-frequency inverters, freewheeling, and polarity protection. It delivers typ. 0.9 V forward voltage at 150 °C, 14 ns reverse recovery time at 100 A/µs, and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the STTH1R04 datasheet, STTH1R04 pinout, STTH1R04 application, or STTH1R04 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultrafast trr (14–30 ns), low VF across temperature (0.9–1.25 V), high Tj rating (175 °C), thermal resistance (25–50 °C/W depending on package), and ECOPACK-compliant SMA/SMB/DO-15 packaging options.
Technical Context
The STTH1R04 employs platinum diffusion to achieve controlled carrier lifetime, enabling precise tuning of reverse recovery characteristics without compromising forward conduction loss. Its ultrafast trr (14 ns typ. at dIF/dt = −100 A/µs) and low IRM (≤3.5 A at 125 °C) minimize switching noise and EMI in hard-switched topologies.
Thermal performance is package-dependent: SMB offers lowest Rth(j-l) at 25 °C/W (TL = 140 °C), SMA at 35 °C/W (TL = 125 °C), and DO-15 at 50 °C/W (TL = 105 °C). All variants support surge current up to 30 A (10 ms sine half-cycle) and operate over −65 to +175 °C storage range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IF(AV) | 1 A average forward current - supports continuous conduction in low-power SMPS output stages and gate-drive clamp circuits. |
| VRRM | 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage - enables use in 24–48 V DC bus systems with margin against transients and ringing. |
| trr (typ.) | 14 ns at IF = 1 A, dIF/dt = −100 A/µs - reduces turn-off losses and dv/dt-induced crosstalk in synchronous rectifiers and IGBT snubbers. |
| VF (typ.) | 0.9 V at Tj = 150 °C, IF = 1 A - lowers conduction loss and thermal stress in thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| Tj(max.) | 175 °C maximum junction temperature - allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments without derating. |
| IRM (max.) | 3.5 A peak reverse recovery current at Tj = 125 °C - limits inductive kick and EMI generation during fast commutation. |
Pinout & Package
STTH1R04 is available in three standard discrete diode packages: SMA (DO-214AC), SMB (DO-214AA), and DO-15. Each variant uses axial or surface-mount leads with cathode band marking. Pin/Terminal mapping is identical across packages: Anode (A) and Cathode (K).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch source/emitter or ground return); must handle full IF(AV) and IFSM. |
| Cathode (K) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked by band; connects to higher-potential rail (e.g., DC bus or transformer secondary); withstands full VRRM during off-state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultrafast recovery | trr = 14 ns typ. at 100 A/µs - enables >500 kHz switching in resonant converters without excessive switching loss. |
| Low VF across temperature | 0.9 V typ. at 150 °C - maintains efficiency in high-temperature operation where silicon diodes typically degrade. |
| High junction temperature rating | 175 °C max. Tj - eliminates need for oversized heatsinks in space-constrained telecom power supplies. |
| ECOPACK compliance | Lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction - meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and supports green manufacturing requirements. |
Applications
| Telecom AC-DC Adapters | Industrial Motor Drive Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 48 V input telecom PSUs operating at 200–300 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ultrafast output rectifier replacing slower FR-type diodes to reduce switching loss and improve efficiency.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast recovery diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MUR105 | Same 1 A / 400 V rating but trr = 50 ns (typ.), VF = 1.25 V at 25 °C, Tj(max.) = 175 °C. | Higher trr increases switching loss in >200 kHz designs; suitable only where EMI constraints are relaxed. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets and layout allows larger snubber networks. |
| Vishay VS-1EJ04-M3 | 1 A / 400 V, trr = 25 ns (typ.), VF = 1.05 V at 150 °C, DO-41 package only (no SMA/SMB). | Limited to through-hole assembly; lacks surface-mount variants needed for high-density telecom boards. | Choose only for legacy through-hole production or where DO-41 footprint compatibility is mandatory. |
Compared with MUR105 and VS-1EJ04-M3, STTH1R04 uniquely combines sub-15 ns trr, <1.0 V VF at elevated temperature, and triple-package availability-enabling optimal trade-offs between efficiency, thermal management, and board assembly flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable lead temperature during soldering for STTH1R04 in SMB package?
The SMB package supports lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. Peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤10 seconds. Hand-soldering requires iron tip temperature ≤350 °C with contact time <3 seconds per lead to avoid epoxy degradation or die attach delamination.
Can STTH1R04 replace a standard PN junction diode like 1N4007 in a 50 Hz rectifier?
No - STTH1R04 is optimized for high-frequency switching (≥100 kHz), not line-frequency rectification. Its low trr and VF come at higher cost and unnecessary complexity for 50/60 Hz applications. The 1N4007 remains appropriate for low-speed, high-voltage, low-cost AC-DC front ends.
How does thermal resistance differ between SMA and SMB packages for STTH1R04?
SMB has Rth(j-l) = 25 °C/W (TL = 140 °C), while SMA is 35 °C/W (TL = 125 °C). This 40% lower thermal resistance makes SMB preferable for higher ambient or higher duty-cycle operation, provided PCB layout accommodates its larger footprint (5.6 × 4.6 mm vs. 5.35 × 4.8 mm).
Is STTH1R04 suitable for use in synchronous rectification circuits?
Yes - its 14 ns trr and low VF enable effective replacement of MOSFETs in low-current (<1 A) synchronous rectifier paths where gate drive complexity is undesirable. However, it cannot actively control conduction like a MOSFET; timing relies on natural current zero-crossing and circuit topology.
