1A 200V fast-recovery diode in a hand-solderable SMA package
The STTH102AY is a 200 V, 1 A standard recovery diode from STMicroelectronics' Q Automotive series, packing a 20 ns reverse recovery time into the compact DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package. With a forward voltage drop of 970 mV at 1 A and a junction temperature range spanning -40°C to 175°C, this part handles the thermal demands of automotive and industrial environments without breaking a sweat.
What the 20 ns recovery time means for your switching circuit
The 20 ns trr classifies this as a fast-recovery diode (under 500 ns at >200 mA), which means it snaps off reverse current quickly — critical for reducing switching losses in a 100 kHz+ flyback converter or a PFC boost stage where every nanosecond of stored charge adds heat. Reverse leakage is just 1 µA at the 200 V rated voltage, so in a high-impedance snubber or clamp circuit you won't lose bias current through the diode itself.
Active production and compliance paperwork
It carries ROHS3 compliance, so it meets the latest EU restriction on hazardous substances without an exemption sticker.
