Product details
Overview
BA159GHR1G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 1000V fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-204AL (DO-41) package, featuring 250 ns reverse recovery time, 1.2 V forward voltage at 1 A, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability in high-efficiency DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the BA159GHR1G datasheet, BA159GHR1G pinout, BA159GHR1G application, or BA159GHR1G equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage (1000 V), surge current capability (30 A), thermal resistance (60 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for automotive and industrial power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This single-die, glass-passivated fast recovery rectifier delivers low conduction loss and controlled switching behavior via optimized carrier lifetime control. Its 250 ns trr and 15 pF junction capacitance support stable operation in 50–200 kHz switching mode power supplies.
The device uses pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Polarity is marked by cathode band; case material meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown; enables use in 800 V DC bus systems with safety margin. |
| IF | 1 A continuous - Rated average forward current under specified thermal conditions; defines steady-state power handling capability. |
| IFSM | 30 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current tolerance; supports inrush and transient overload in SMPS startup. |
| trr | 250 ns - Measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; determines switching loss and EMI profile in hard-switched topologies. |
| VF | 1.2 V max at IF = 1 A, TJ = 25°C - Forward voltage drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design of output rectification stage. |
| RθJA | 60 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; used to calculate temperature rise in free-air PCB mounting without heatsink. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; sets upper limit for thermal derating and system ambient operating envelope. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-204AL (DO-41), axial leaded, glass-passivated single-die rectifier. Cathode indicated by band on body. Leads are pure tin-plated, solderable per J-STD-002.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., transformer secondary center-tap or switch node); must handle full IF and IFSM. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail or filter capacitor; polarity marking ensures correct orientation in high-voltage DC paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive power electronics per stress test requirements including temperature cycling, HTRB, and HTGB. |
| Glass passivated junction | Provides hermetic protection against moisture and contaminants, improving long-term reliability in humid or harsh environments. |
| Low VF (1.2 V max) | Reduces conduction losses by ~15% vs. standard recovery diodes at 1 A, lowering thermal load in compact layouts. |
| High IFSM (30 A) | Enables robustness against line surges and output short-circuit transients without bond wire fusing. |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21; eliminates brominated flame retardants and supports green manufacturing and end-of-life recycling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R06 | 600 V VRRM, 150 ns trr, same DO-41 package, non-AEC-Q101 | Lower voltage rating limits use to ≤400 V DC bus systems; faster recovery reduces switching loss but sacrifices HV margin. | Preferred where 600 V rating suffices and lowest possible trr is critical; not suitable for 800–1000 V PV or automotive load dump. |
| ON Semiconductor MUR1100E | 1000 V VRRM, 200 ns trr, DO-41, AEC-Q101 qualified, 1.3 V VF max | Slightly higher VF increases conduction loss; tighter trr spec improves high-frequency efficiency. | Drop-in alternative when lower trr is prioritized over minimal VF reduction; validated for same automotive temperature profiles. |
Compared with STTH1R06 and MUR1100E, BA159GHR1G offers the highest voltage margin (1000 V) with AEC-Q101 validation and balanced VF/trr trade-off-making it optimal for 48 V automotive DC/DC and high-VIN industrial converters where reliability and safety margin are primary.

FAQ
What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating for BA159GHR1G?
The BA159GHR1G has a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 1000 V. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version I2106). It defines the maximum reverse voltage the device can block repeatedly without avalanche breakdown. Designers must ensure this rating exceeds the peak inverse voltage seen across the diode in the final circuit, including transients and safety margins.
Is BA159GHR1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, BA159GHR1G is AEC-Q101 qualified, as explicitly stated in the "FEATURES" section and ordering code suffix "H" (BA159GHR1G). This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing. The device is intended for under-hood and powertrain-related DC/DC converters where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is critical.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of BA159GHR1G and how is it measured?
The BA159GHR1G has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 250 ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, per the Electrical Specifications table. This parameter reflects the time required for minority carriers to clear after forward conduction ceases, directly influencing switching loss and EMI generation in high-frequency converters. The value is typified at 25°C ambient and must be verified under actual operating junction temperature.
Does BA159GHR1G have RoHS and halogen-free compliance?
Yes, BA159GHR1G is RoHS compliant and halogen-free in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21, as confirmed in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. The molding compound contains no brominated or chlorinated flame retardants, and lead content is below 1000 ppm. This supports environmental compliance for export to EU, China, and other regulated markets, and facilitates safer end-of-life processing.
What package type and lead finish does BA159GHR1G use?
BA159GHR1G uses the DO-204AL (DO-41) axial package with pure tin-plated leads, solderable per J-STD-002. The mechanical data confirms UL 94V-0 flammability rating for the epoxy body and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The cathode is marked by a visible band, and the device weighs approximately 0.330 g. This package supports manual and automated through-hole assembly.
