Product details
Overview
STTH1R04U from STMicroelectronics is a 1 A, 400 V ultrafast recovery rectifier diode in SMB package, featuring 14 ns typical reverse recovery time (trr), 0.9 V typical forward voltage (VF) at 150 °C, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature - optimized for high-frequency switching in telecom power supplies and base-drive circuits.
For engineers reviewing the STTH1R04U datasheet, STTH1R04U pinout, STTH1R04U application, or STTH1R04U equivalent, key selection criteria include trr ≤ 30 ns at 100 A/µs dIF/dt, thermal resistance Rth(j-l) = 25 °C/W (SMB), and ECOPACK-compliant lead-free construction for industrial-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This ultrafast diode employs ST's planar platinum-doped silicon technology to achieve low conduction loss (VF = 0.9–1.25 V across 25–150 °C) and tightly controlled reverse recovery behavior (trr = 14 ns typ., 30 ns max. at 50 A/µs). Its dynamic performance supports hard-switched topologies up to several hundred kHz.
The device operates with negligible switching losses due to minimal stored charge (QRR < 20 nC at 100 A/µs, Tj = 125 °C) and low IRM (≤3.5 A peak reverse recovery current), enabling efficient freewheeling and polarity protection in compact DC-DC converters and SMPS front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IF(AV) | 1 A average forward current - supports continuous conduction in low-power SMPS outputs |
| VRRM | 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage - suitable for 28 V–48 V telecom input stages with margin |
| trr (typ.) | 14 ns at IF = 1 A, dIF/dt = −100 A/µs, VR = 30 V - enables stable operation in >300 kHz switching circuits |
| VF (typ.) | 0.9 V at IF = 1 A, Tj = 150 °C - reduces conduction loss and thermal stress in high-temp environments |
| Tj(max.) | 175 °C maximum junction temperature - allows derating flexibility in sealed enclosures or high ambient conditions |
| Rth(j-l) | 25 °C/W (SMB package) - defines thermal path efficiency from die to PCB copper land |
| IRM (max.) | 3.5 A peak reverse recovery current at Tj = 125 °C - constrains snubber sizing and EMI filter design |
Pinout & Package
SMB (Surface Mount Diode) package: 2-terminal, cathode-banded, gull-wing leads; dimensions per ST DS5848 Rev 4: D = 3.30–3.95 mm, E = 5.10–5.60 mm, E1 = 4.05–4.60 mm, L = 0.75–1.50 mm.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Negligible switching losses | QRR < 20 nC and trr ≤ 30 ns minimize energy dissipation during turn-off transitions |

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 MUR140 | 400 V VRRM, 1 A IF(AV), trr = 50 ns (typ.), VF = 1.25 V (typ. @ 25 °C) | Higher trr increases switching loss in >200 kHz designs; less suitable for telecom SMPS | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets and thermal margin is ample |
| Vishay VS-1EJH04-M3 | 400 V VRRM, 1 A IF(AV), trr = 25 ns (typ.), VF = 0.95 V (typ. @ 125 °C), DO-214AA (SMA) package | SMA package has higher Rth(j-l) = 35 °C/W vs. SMB's 25 °C/W - impacts thermal headroom | Prefer for legacy SMA footprints; verify thermal derating in enclosed telecom modules |
Compared with MUR140 and VS-1EJH04-M3, STTH1R04U delivers the lowest trr (14 ns) and best thermal resistance (25 °C/W) in SMB, making it optimal for high-frequency, thermally dense telecom and industrial power stages where both speed and thermal efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable surge current for STTH1R04U?
The STTH1R04U supports a non-repetitive surge forward current (IFSM) of 30 A for 10 ms sinusoidal pulses, as specified in absolute ratings. This rating applies at Tj = 25 °C and assumes proper PCB copper area and thermal relief; derating is required above 25 °C ambient per the thermal resistance curve in DS5848 Figure 13.
Does STTH1R04U require a heatsink in typical SMB mounting?
No external heatsink is required for STTH1R04U in standard SMB mounting on FR4 with ≥1 cm² copper per lead, given its 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance and 1 A average current rating. Thermal simulation using the Zth(j-l) curves (DS5848 Figures 4 and 13) confirms safe operation up to 175 °C junction temperature with adequate PCB copper area.
How does STTH1R04U's reverse leakage compare at high temperature?
At Tj = 125 °C and VR = VRRM, STTH1R04U exhibits reverse leakage current (IR) of 5–50 µA (max), per Table 3. This is significantly lower than standard fast recovery diodes and ensures minimal standby loss in high-temperature telecom chassis where ambient may reach 85 °C.
Can STTH1R04U replace older DO-15 diodes like STTH1R04Q in existing designs?
STTH1R04U (SMB) is not a direct mechanical replacement for STTH1R04Q (DO-15) due to different footprint, lead pitch, and thermal characteristics. While electrical specs match, the SMB package offers lower Rth(j-l) but requires rework of solder pads and stencil; redesign verification is needed for thermal and mechanical reliability.
