Product details
Overview
UF4004 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 400V ultrafast recovery rectifier diode in DO-204AL (DO-41) package, featuring 50 ns reverse recovery time, 1.0 V forward voltage at 1 A, and 30 A surge current capability. It serves as a freewheeling or output rectifier in high-frequency switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the UF4004 datasheet, UF4004 pinout, UF4004 application, or UF4004 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 400 V, trr = 50 ns, VF = 1.0 V @ 1 A, thermal resistance RθJL = 15 °C/W, and AEC-Q101 qualification availability in H-grade variants.
Technical Context
The UF4004 employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for high-efficiency operation in DC–DC converters and SMPS topologies. Its ultrafast recovery enables reduced switching losses at frequencies up to several hundred kHz, while its 150 °C maximum junction temperature supports operation in thermally constrained environments.
Designed as a single-die, unidirectional device with cathode-band polarity marking, the UF4004 exhibits low junction capacitance (17 pF @ 4 V) and stable reverse leakage (≤5 µA @ 25 °C, ≤150 µA @ 125 °C), supporting reliable performance across industrial ambient temperature ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating limit in flyback or boost output stages |
| trr | 50 ns - Ultrafast reverse recovery time; minimizes switching loss and EMI in >100 kHz SMPS designs |
| VF | 1.0 V @ 1 A - Low forward voltage drop; reduces conduction loss and thermal load in continuous 1 A applications |
| IFSM | 30 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current; withstands inrush and transient overloads without failure |
| RθJL | 15 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables direct PCB copper pour heat sinking without heatsink |
| Junction Capacitance | 17 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - Low capacitance minimizes capacitive coupling noise in high dv/dt gate-drive or snubber circuits |

Applications
| DC–DC Converter Output Rectification | Switch-Mode Power Supply Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated buck-derived topologies (e.g., forward, flyback) delivering 5–24 V at up to 1 A. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve converting high-frequency AC from transformer secondary into regulated DC output. Use Value: 1.0 V VF and 50 ns trr jointly reduce total power loss by ≥15% vs. standard fast recovery diodes at 100–300 kHz switching. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path across inductive loads (e.g., solenoids, relay coils, motor windings) in industrial control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp inductive kickback energy and provide low-impedance recirculation path during switch-off phase. Use Value: 30 A IFSM safely absorbs short-duration inductive surges; 150 °C TJMAX ensures stability during repeated actuation cycles. |
| AC–DC Adapter Secondary Rectification | High-Frequency Inverter Output Stage |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in compact wall adapters (e.g., 12 V/1 A) using quasi-resonant or active-clamp flyback controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous or asynchronous rectifier handling continuous 1 A DC output with minimal voltage drop and ripple. Use Value: DO-41 package allows manual or automated through-hole assembly; 17 pF CJ limits high-frequency noise injection into feedback networks. | Use Scenario: Bridge-leg anti-parallel diode in 20–100 kHz inverters for UPS, solar microinverters, or motor drives. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides reverse conduction path during dead-time intervals and commutates reactive current in inductive loads. Use Value: 50 ns trr prevents shoot-through risk in hard-switched bridges; 400 V VRRM supports 24–48 V bus systems with safety margin. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R04 (STMicroelectronics) | VRRM = 400 V, trr = 35 ns, VF = 1.15 V @ 1 A, DO-41 package | Lower trr improves efficiency above 300 kHz but higher VF increases conduction loss at full load | Select when prioritizing switching loss reduction over thermal budget in high-frequency designs |
| ES1D (ON Semiconductor) | VRRM = 200 V, trr = 35 ns, VF = 0.95 V @ 1 A, SMA surface-mount package | Half the VRRM rating and SMT form factor limit use to low-voltage, space-constrained boards | Choose for compact 12–24 V DC–DC modules where board area is critical and voltage stress <200 V |
Compared with STTH1R04 and ES1D, the UF4004 offers balanced trade-offs: sufficient 400 V rating for 24–48 V systems, proven 50 ns recovery for 100–250 kHz operation, and through-hole DO-41 compatibility for prototyping and industrial repairability.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of the UF4004?
The UF4004 has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 400 V. This rating defines the highest reverse-bias voltage the diode can block repeatedly without breakdown. It is validated per JEDEC standards and applies across the full operating temperature range of −55 °C to +150 °C. The UF4004 must not be operated beyond this voltage in any design using the UF4004.
What is the forward voltage drop (VF) of the UF4004 at 1 A and 25 °C?
The forward voltage drop (VF) of the UF4004 is 1.0 V at 1 A forward current and 25 °C junction temperature. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (0.3 ms pulse width) to minimize self-heating effects. At elevated temperatures or higher currents, VF decreases slightly due to negative temperature coefficient behavior typical of silicon PN junctions. This specification is confirmed in the UF4004 electrical characteristics table.
Is the UF4004 suitable for automotive applications?
The standard UF4004 is not AEC-Q101 qualified, but the UF4004H variant is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive under-hood use. The H-grade version undergoes additional stress testing including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock. For automotive designs requiring qualification, specify UF4004H-not UF4004-when ordering. Both share identical electrical specs, but only UF4004H carries the AEC-Q101 certification documented in Taiwan Semiconductor's P2104 revision.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of the UF4004, and how is it measured?
The reverse recovery time (trr) of the UF4004 is 50 ns, measured under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A per JEDEC test conditions. This parameter reflects the time required for minority carriers to clear the depletion region after forward conduction ceases. It is critical for minimizing switching loss and EMI in high-frequency power converters. The UF4004's 50 ns trr is verified in the "Electrical Specifications" section of the UF4004 datasheet (P2104).
What package type does the UF4004 use, and what are its mechanical features?
The UF4004 uses the DO-204AL (DO-41) axial-leaded package with glass-passivated chip junction and pure tin-plated leads. Its mechanical features include UL 94V-0 rated molding compound, cathode polarity indicated by a visible band, and compliance with JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing. The package weighs approximately 0.330 g and supports manual or wave-solder assembly. These attributes are specified in the "Mechanical Data" section of the UF4004 documentation.
