Product details
Overview
1N5402G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a glass-passivated standard silicon rectifier diode with 3A average forward current, 200V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and 125A surge capability, used in DC-DC converters and switching-mode power supplies for reliable AC-to-DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5402G datasheet, 1N5402G pinout, 1N5402G application, or 1N5402G equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM rating, forward voltage at 3A, thermal resistance (RθJA = 45°C/W), junction temperature range (–55°C to +150°C), and DO-201AD package compatibility with high-reliability industrial power designs.
Technical Context
The 1N5402G is a single-die, unidirectional, PN-junction rectifier optimized for general-purpose and switching-mode power conversion. It features glass passivation for moisture resistance and stable leakage performance, with a typical forward voltage of 1.0V at 3A and 25°C.
Its thermal design supports continuous operation up to +150°C junction temperature, enabled by RθJC = 15°C/W and RθJA = 45°C/W. Reverse leakage remains ≤5µA at 25°C and ≤100µA at 125°C under rated 200V reverse bias.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar standard rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5402 | No "G" suffix; not RoHS-compliant or halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21 | Limited to non-RoHS legacy systems; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification path | Select 1N5402G when environmental compliance or automotive qualification is required |
| STTH3L02 | Fast recovery (trr ≈ 50ns), higher VF (~1.15V), same 3A/200V rating | Better suited for high-frequency SMPS where reverse recovery matters; higher conduction loss | Choose STTH3L02 only if fast recovery is needed; otherwise 1N5402G offers lower VF and cost |
Compared with 1N5402 and STTH3L02, the 1N5402G delivers optimal balance of low forward voltage, RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and proven ruggedness in line-frequency and medium-frequency rectification-without requiring layout changes or thermal redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for the 1N5402G?
The 1N5402G has a VRRM rating of 200 V, meaning it reliably blocks up to 200 V of reverse voltage in repetitive operation. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version K2105) and distinguishes it from adjacent variants like the 1N5401G (100 V) and 1N5404G (400 V). Exceeding this voltage risks avalanche breakdown and permanent damage to the 1N5402G.
Does the 1N5402G have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base 1N5402G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the variant 1N5402GH (with "H" suffix) is explicitly qualified per AEC-Q101. The "G" suffix alone indicates RoHS and halogen-free compliance but does not imply automotive qualification. Engineers requiring AEC-Q101 must specify 1N5402GH - the 1N5402G itself meets industrial reliability standards but lacks formal automotive stress-test validation.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of the 1N5402G at 3A and 25°C?
The 1N5402G exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.0 V at 3 A and 25°C junction temperature, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This value is lower than earlier variants (e.g., 1N5400G/1N5401G at 1.1 V), reflecting process optimization for reduced conduction loss. At elevated temperatures or higher currents, VF increases slightly but remains within predictable bounds defined by the device's VI curve.
What package type does the 1N5402G use, and are its leads lead-free?
The 1N5402G uses the DO-201AD axial-leaded package with molded plastic body and cathode band marking. Its leads are pure tin-plated and fully RoHS-compliant, meeting J-STD-002 solderability requirements. The "G" suffix confirms green (halogen-free) molding compound per IEC 61249-2-21, and the device weighs approximately 1.20 g - all verified in the Mechanical Data section of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet.
How does the 1N5402G compare to the 1N5408G in terms of voltage rating and application scope?
The 1N5402G is rated for 200 V VRRM, while the 1N5408G is rated for 1000 V - making them non-interchangeable without circuit redesign. The 1N5402G targets mid-voltage applications like 120/230 VAC-derived supplies and DC-DC inputs, whereas the 1N5408G serves high-voltage PFC stages or industrial motor drives. Both share identical IF, IFSM, thermal specs, and DO-201AD packaging, but their reverse voltage capability strictly defines system-level suitability.
