SFAF1603GH

Single Diodes Overview

The SFAF1603GH is a Super Fast Recovery Rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a single configuration with a maximum average forward rectified current of 16A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200V. The device exhibits a fast recovery time of 35ns and a low forward voltage drop of 1.3V at rated current. It supports a maximum non-repetitive peak surge current of 125A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. The component is housed in a D2PAK-2 (TO-263-2) surface-mount package and holds AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reliability.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High-frequency DC-DC converters
• Isolated flyback rectification

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'GH' confirms both AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and halogen-free green compound status. Confirm the D2PAK-2 package variant matches your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the 200V rating aligns with your circuit's peak inverse voltage demands. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for exact marking codes and reel specifications before finalizing orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when super-fast recovery is critical for minimizing switching losses in high-frequency applications. The 16A current rating suits moderate-power isolated topologies. The TO-263-2 package offers robust thermal dissipation compared to smaller surface-mount options. Verify that the 200V blocking voltage exceeds the maximum transient voltages present in the target application environment.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the SFAF series of super fast recovery rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series is designed for high-efficiency power conversion where rapid switching speeds are required. The GH suffix indicates compliance with automotive standards and environmental directives, distinguishing it from standard industrial variants within the same electrical family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 16A current, 200V voltage, 35ns recovery time, and D2DAK-2 package. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values. Check if alternative manufacturers offer equivalent AEC-Q101 qualified parts with identical forward voltage characteristics to ensure seamless integration without redesign.
