Product details
Overview
STTH1R04RL from STMicroelectronics is a 1 A, 400 V ultrafast recovery diode in DO-15 package, engineered for low-loss switching in base-drive and transistor circuits. 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 - ideal for telecom power supplies and high-frequency inverters.
For engineers reviewing the STTH1R04RL datasheet, STTH1R04RL pinout, STTH1R04RL application, or STTH1R04RL equivalent, key selection criteria include ultrafast trr performance, thermal robustness to 175 °C, DO-15 mechanical compatibility, and conduction loss modeling using P = 0.9 × IF(AV) + 0.250 × IF²(RMS).
Technical Context
This diode employs ST's planar platinum-doped silicon technology to achieve ultrafast recovery with minimal stored charge (QRR < 20 nC at 125 °C), enabling efficient operation in hard-switched SMPS topologies. Its low VF and high dIF/dt tolerance (up to 200 A/µs) support fast turn-on and reduced forward recovery overshoot.
The DO-15 variant (STTH1R04RL) features a 50 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance and 6000-piece tape-and-reel packaging. It is rated for 30 A non-repetitive surge current and maintains stable IR ≤ 50 µA at 125 °C under full 400 V reverse bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IF(AV) | 1 A average forward current - supports continuous conduction in low-power DC-DC stages and auxiliary rails |
| VRRM | 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage - suitable for 28 V–48 V telecom input rectification with margin |
| trr(typ.) | 14 ns at IF = 1 A, dIF/dt = −100 A/µs - enables >1 MHz switching without excessive switching loss |
| VF(typ.) | 0.9 V at IF = 1 A, Tj = 150 °C - reduces conduction loss by ~25% vs. standard FR diodes at elevated temperature |
| Tj(max.) | 175 °C maximum junction temperature - allows compact heatsinking in sealed telecom enclosures |
| Rth(j-l) | 50 °C/W junction-to-lead - defines thermal path for lead-mounted PCB designs without external heatsink |
| IRM(max.) | 3.5 A peak reverse recovery current - constrains snubber sizing in flyback and forward converters |
Pinout & Package
STTH1R04RL is housed in a DO-15 axial-leaded package with cathode band marking. The device has two terminals: anode and cathode - no internal connections or control pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side of circuit; must withstand surge current up to 30 A (tp = 10 ms) |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked with band; carries full reverse voltage (400 V) and hosts peak reverse recovery current (≤3.5 A) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Negligible switching losses | QRR < 20 nC at 125 °C and 320 V - minimizes energy dissipated during turn-off in high-frequency converters |
| Low forward voltage drop | VF = 0.9 V @ 1 A, 150 °C - lowers steady-state power loss and thermal stress in space-constrained telecom modules |
| High junction temperature rating | Tj(max.) = 175 °C - permits operation in sealed, fanless telecom power supplies without derating |
| ECOPACK compliant | Lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction - meets EU environmental directives for industrial and telecom equipment |
| DO-15 mechanical standardization | Standard axial footprint (A = 6.05–6.75 mm, B = 2.95–3.53 mm) - ensures compatibility with legacy through-hole assembly lines |
Applications
| Telecom AC-DC Adapters | Industrial DC-DC Auxiliary Supplies |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 48 V input in isolated offline adapters for base station power modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ultrafast freewheeling diode in active clamp forward converter secondary-side synchronous rectification.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery output diode minimizing ringing and EMI in discontinuous conduction mode flyback. Use Value: 30 ns max trr at 50 A/µs suppresses voltage spikes >400 V, eliminating need for TVS clamping on secondary winding. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast recovery diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L04RL | 1 A, 400 V, DO-15, but uses low-leakage process: IR ≤ 1 µA @ 125 °C (vs. 50 µA for STTH1R04RL) | Better suited for high-impedance bias networks and precision hold-up circuits where leakage matters | Select when reverse leakage dominates system standby loss; trade-off is slightly higher VF (1.05 V typ. @ 150 °C) |
| BYV26E-TAP | 1 A, 400 V, DO-41, trr = 25 ns (typ.), VF = 1.15 V @ 150 °C, Rth(j-l) = 60 °C/W | Higher thermal resistance and slower recovery limit use in >500 kHz designs | Acceptable for cost-driven 100–300 kHz telecom adapters where layout allows larger heatsinking |
Compared with STTH1R04RL, STTH1L04RL trades 150 mV higher VF for 50× lower leakage, while BYV26E-TAP offers broader distributor availability but requires 20% more board area and sacrifices 43% in recovery speed - making STTH1R04RL optimal for thermally constrained, high-frequency telecom rectification.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable lead temperature during soldering for STTH1R04RL?
The DO-15 package supports wave soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. Peak lead temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤10 seconds. Preheating to 100–150 °C for 60–120 seconds is recommended to avoid thermal shock. ST specifies no reflow profile since it is not a surface-mount device.
Can STTH1R04RL replace a Schottky diode in a 48 V input converter?
Yes - but only where reverse voltage exceeds 30 V. STTH1R04RL's 400 V VRRM provides ample margin over 48 V systems, and its 0.9 V VF at 150 °C approaches Schottky performance while offering superior temperature stability and no reverse recovery tail current. It is preferred when operating above 125 °C.
How does STTH1R04RL's thermal resistance compare across package variants?
In DO-15 (STTH1R04RL), Rth(j-l) = 50 °C/W; SMB (STTH1R04U) is 25 °C/W; SMA (STTH1R04A) is 35 °C/W. The DO-15's higher value reflects its axial-leaded construction and longer thermal path - acceptable for <1 W dissipation with adequate PCB copper area, but less suitable than SMB for high-density SMT layouts.
Is STTH1R04RL suitable for use in automotive ADAS power supplies?
Yes - it meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for discrete semiconductors when qualified per ST's automotive-grade variants (e.g., STTH1R04AG). While STTH1R04RL is industrial-grade, its 175 °C Tj(max.), 30 A IFSM, and ECOPACK compliance make it viable for non-safety-critical ADAS subsystems like camera module power, provided full qualification documentation is obtained from ST.
