Product details
Overview
FR305G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 600V fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-201AD package, featuring 250ns reverse recovery time, 1.3V max forward voltage at 3A, and 125A surge capability-used in DC-DC converters and switching inverters for high-efficiency power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the FR305G datasheet, FR305G pinout, FR305G application, or FR305G equivalent, key selection factors include its 600V repetitive peak reverse voltage, thermal resistance of 35°C/W, AEC-Q101 qualification option (FR305GH), junction temperature range (–55°C to +150°C), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance.
Technical Context
The FR305G employs a single-die silicon PN junction structure optimized for fast recovery in high-frequency switching applications. Its 250ns trr enables reduced switching losses in SMPS operating up to several hundred kHz, while the 35°C/W RθJA supports conduction-limited thermal design at 3A continuous current.
It operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature with 5µA max reverse leakage at 25°C and 100µA at 125°C, and exhibits 30pF junction capacitance at 4V reverse bias-critical for EMI control and snubberless layout in compact converters.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S (STMicroelectronics) | Same 3A/600V rating; 75ns trr, 1.7V VF max; TO-220AC package | Lower trr but higher VF; requires heatsink due to TO-220 thermal resistance | Prefer when ultra-fast recovery dominates over conduction loss; not drop-in due to package and pinout mismatch |
| ES3D (Vishay) | 3A/200V rating; 35ns trr, 0.95V VF max; DO-214AB package | Lower voltage rating limits to <200V applications; smaller footprint but lower surge margin | Select only for low-voltage, space-constrained designs where 600V blocking is unnecessary |
Compared with STTH3L06S and ES3D, the FR305G offers balanced trade-offs: moderate 250ns trr, low 1.3V VF, DO-201AD compatibility with legacy layouts, and AEC-Q101 availability-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 600V industrial and automotive power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of the FR305G?
The FR305G has a VRRM of 600 V, meaning it can reliably block up to 600 volts in reverse bias without breakdown. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table on page 2 of the H2105 datasheet and defines its suitability for 400–500V DC bus or 300VAC line-derived applications. The FR305G must not be operated beyond this voltage under any condition, including transient spikes.
Does the FR305G have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base FR305G is not AEC-Q101 qualified, but the FR305GH variant-identical electrically and mechanically-is fully AEC-Q101 qualified per the Ordering Information table. The "H" suffix denotes automotive-grade screening, including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock validation. For automotive applications, specify FR305GH to ensure compliance.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of the FR305G and how is it measured?
The FR305G has a typical reverse recovery time of 250 ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This value reflects the time required for minority carriers to recombine after forward conduction ceases, directly impacting switching loss and EMI in high-frequency converters.
Can the FR305G replace the FR304G or FR306G in an existing design?
The FR305G is not a direct replacement for FR304G (400V) or FR306G (800V) due to its specific 600V VRRM rating. Substitution requires verifying that the circuit's peak reverse voltage remains within 600V for FR305G, or does not exceed 400V/800V for the respective alternatives. Thermal and surge margins must also be re-evaluated, as trr and VF differ across the FR30xG family.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the FR305G and how does it affect PCB layout?
The FR305G has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 35°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions. This means a 3A load at 1.3V VF generates ~3.9W of heat, resulting in a ~137°C junction rise above ambient-requiring adequate copper pour (≥1 in² 2oz Cu), minimal trace length, and avoidance of nearby heat sources. Layout must prioritize thermal relief on both terminals.
