SFS1608G

Single Diodes Overview

The SFS1608G is a super fast recovery rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a 16A average forward current rating and supports reverse voltage options ranging from 50V to 600V. The device utilizes a TO-263AB (D2PAK) surface mount package for efficient thermal management. Key electrical specifications include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 125A, a typical reverse recovery time of 35ns, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 10µA at rated voltage. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Super fast recovery characteristics enable high-frequency switching applications with minimal reverse recovery losses.
• Glass passivation provides mechanical strength and protects against mechanical stresses during PCB assembly.
• Surface mount D2PAK packaging facilitates automated placement and offers robust thermal dissipation capabilities.

Single Diodes Applications

• High frequency DC/DC converters
• Free wheeling diodes in PWM circuits
• Polarity protection circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code on the ordering part number to confirm the exact reverse voltage rating, as the base series covers multiple voltage levels. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS and halogen-free status directly with the manufacturer's latest documentation. Ensure the selected package variant matches the required footprint for the target PCB design.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when high efficiency and low power loss are critical in medium-power rectification tasks. The TO-263AB package is suitable for applications requiring better heat dissipation than standard SMD packages but where through-hole mounting is undesirable. Evaluate the specific voltage rating needed within the 50V to 600V range to ensure adequate safety margins for the operating environment.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the SFS160xG series of glass passivated super fast rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series is designed for general-purpose high-efficiency rectification in compact surface mount applications. It shares common structural features with other members of the family, differing primarily in breakdown voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling and recovery speed profiles.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with SF1608G for through-hole equivalents or SFS1606G for similar surface mount performance with different voltage ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substituting to ensure circuit integrity.
