Product details
Overview
STTH803G-TR from STMicroelectronics is a single ultra-fast soft-recovery epitaxial rectifier diode optimized for secondary-side rectification in high-frequency switch-mode power supplies and DC/DC converters, with 300 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 8 A average forward current, 25 ns maximum reverse recovery time, 0.85 V typical forward voltage at 125 °C, and D²PAK (TO-263) package.
For engineers reviewing the STTH803G-TR datasheet, STTH803G-TR pinout, STTH803G-TR application, or STTH803G-TR equivalent, this device is selected for low-noise, high-efficiency secondary rectification where fast soft recovery minimizes EMI and switching losses in 100–500 kHz SMPS topologies.
Technical Context
This diode employs an epitaxial construction enabling ultra-fast reverse recovery (trr ≤ 25 ns at 25 °C) with softness factor ≥ 0.3, reducing voltage overshoot and ringing during turn-off. Its 300 V VRRM rating supports wide-input universal AC/DC adapters and telecom offline converters.
Thermal resistance of 2.5 °C/W (junction-to-case) enables high-power operation up to 175 °C junction temperature when mounted on adequately sized copper heatsinks via the D²PAK's exposed drain pad, supporting continuous 8 A conduction with minimal thermal derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 300 V - Withstands peak reverse voltages in 24–48 V output, 380 V bus SMPS designs without breakdown |
| IF(AV) | 8 A - Sustains continuous DC output current in 100–200 W secondary rectifiers |
| trr (max) | 25 ns - Enables clean turn-off below 500 kHz switching, minimizing snubber losses |
| VF (typ @ 125 °C) | 0.85 V - Reduces conduction loss to ~0.68 W at 8 A, improving efficiency over silicon standard recovery diodes |
| Rth(j-c) | 2.5 °C/W - Allows direct thermal path to heatsink; 20 °C rise at 8 A enables stable operation without forced air |
| Sfactor (min) | 0.3 - Ensures soft recovery waveform, suppressing EMI generation in noise-sensitive applications |
Pinout & Package
D²PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with isolated tab (cathode-connected), designed for high-current PCB mounting and thermal conduction through the large exposed metal pad. Mechanical dimensions per ST DocID5375 Rev 10, Table 6.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input terminal for forward current flow | Connected to transformer secondary winding or switching node; carries full load current during conduction |
| Cathode | Output terminal; tied to exposed metal tab | Electrically and thermally connected to PCB copper pour; serves as main heat dissipation path and output return |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast soft recovery | trr ≤ 25 ns with Sfactor ≥ 0.3 - suppresses voltage spikes and EMI in high-dV/dt environments |
| High junction temperature rating | Tj(max) = 175 °C - supports operation in compact, sealed, or high-ambient industrial power supplies |
| Low forward voltage | VF = 0.85 V (typ @ 125 °C, 8 A) - reduces conduction loss by ~30% vs. standard FRD counterparts |
| ECOPACK®2 compliance | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant materials - meets environmental requirements for consumer and industrial end equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH8R03DJ-TR | D²PAK package, same VRRM/trr/VF specs, but rated for 8 A RMS (vs. 8 A avg); slightly higher IR at 125 °C (200 µA max) | Optimized for higher RMS current handling in resonant converters with high peak-to-average ratio | Select when designing LLC or phase-shifted full-bridge topologies with high di/dt stress |
| IXYS MUR830E | TO-220AC package, 300 V VRRM, 8 A IF(AV), trr = 35 ns (max), VF = 0.92 V (typ @ 125 °C) | Through-hole mounting; higher trr increases switching loss in >200 kHz designs | Choose for legacy through-hole production or lower-cost prototyping where EMI margin permits longer trr |
Compared with STTH8R03DJ-TR and IXYS MUR830E, STTH803G-TR offers superior softness (Sfactor ≥ 0.3) and lower VF at elevated temperature-critical for high-density, high-frequency SMPS where thermal management and EMI control are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature and how does it affect thermal design?
The STTH803G-TR has a maximum junction temperature of 175 °C. This allows operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed power supplies or industrial enclosures. With a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 2.5 °C/W, a 20 °C temperature rise occurs at 8 A, meaning a heatsink or PCB copper area capable of dissipating ~20 W is required to maintain safe operation under full load at 70 °C ambient.
Is STTH803G-TR pin-compatible with other D²PAK rectifiers like STTH1203CI?
No-STTH803G-TR has a 2-pin D²PAK configuration (anode/cathode), while STTH1203CI is a 3-pin device with separate cathode and sense terminals. The pinout differs fundamentally: STTH803G-TR uses the exposed tab solely as cathode, whereas STTH1203CI adds a Kelvin sense connection. Direct replacement requires board layout revision.
Does STTH803G-TR require a snubber circuit in typical 200 kHz flyback designs?
In most 200 kHz flyback converters with proper transformer design and layout, STTH803G-TR's soft recovery (Sfactor ≥ 0.3) and 25 ns trr eliminate the need for external RC snubbers. Measured voltage overshoot remains below 10% of VRRM under standard test conditions (IF = 0.5 A, dIF/dt = –50 A/µs), reducing component count and board space.
How does the ECOPACK®2 compliance impact manufacturing and reliability?
ECOPACK®2 compliance means STTH803G-TR uses halogen-free molding compounds and lead-free terminations meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3). This ensures compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles, eliminates corrosive halogen residues in humid environments, and supports long-term field reliability in consumer and industrial applications without compromising thermal or electrical performance.
