Product details
Overview
FR305GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is an AEC-Q101 qualified fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-201AD package, rated for 3A average forward current, 600V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and 250ns reverse recovery time (trr) at IF = 0.5A. It delivers low forward voltage drop (1.3V max at 3A, 25°C) and high surge capability (125A IFSM), targeting power conversion stages in automotive-grade DC-DC modules.
For engineers reviewing the FR305GH datasheet, FR305GH pinout, FR305GH application, or FR305GH equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 600V VRRM, 250ns trr, DO-201AD mechanical compatibility, and thermal resistance of 35°C/W - all critical for reliable operation in switching inverters and on-board chargers.
Technical Context
This single-die, unidirectional fast recovery rectifier uses optimized silicon junction design to achieve reduced reverse recovery charge and minimized switching losses. Its 600V VRRM and 250ns trr enable efficient operation in 48V–400V bus systems with high-frequency PWM control.
The device features pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, UL 94V-0 molding compound, and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Junction temperature range is –55°C to +150°C, supporting under-hood automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown; defines usable input voltage range in buck/boost converters. |
| IF | 3 A - Continuous average forward current rating at 75°C case temperature; determines heatsink sizing in sustained-load applications. |
| trr | 250 ns - Measured at IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, Irr = 0.25A; directly impacts switching loss and EMI in >50kHz SMPS designs. |
| VF | 1.3 V max at 3A, 25°C - Forward voltage drop defining conduction loss; lower than standard recovery diodes, improving efficiency at nominal load. |
| IFSM | 125 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current (8.3ms half-sine); supports inrush tolerance during cold-start in automotive power supplies. |
| RθJA | 35 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in free-air; used to calculate maximum junction temperature rise under given power dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
DO-201AD axial-leaded package with cathode band marking; body length 9.5mm ±0.3mm, lead diameter 0.8mm, overall weight ~1.20g. Leads are pure tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., switch node in synchronous buck); polarity must match PCB silkscreen. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to higher-potential rail (e.g., output capacitor positive); cathode band orientation ensures correct placement in automated assembly. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTOL, TC, UHAST - enables use in engine control, ADAS, and infotainment power rails. |
| Low VF (1.3V max) | Reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. legacy 1N5408 at 3A, lowering thermal load in space-constrained enclosures. |
| 250ns trr | Enables stable operation up to 200kHz switching frequency without excessive ringing or cross-conduction in half-bridge topologies. |
| DO-201AD mechanical standardization | Ensures drop-in replacement compatibility with legacy rectifiers and compatibility with existing wave-solder and reflow profiles. |

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 | 600V VRRM, 3A IF, 200ns trr, TO-220AC package | Higher thermal mass but requires mounting hardware; not axial-leaded | Preferred where board-level heat spreading is available and manual assembly is acceptable. |
| ON Semi MUR3060CT | 600V VRRM, dual common-cathode configuration, 35ns trr, TO-220AB | Ultra-fast recovery but dual-diode layout increases footprint; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Used when lowest possible switching loss is prioritized over automotive compliance or axial form factor. |
Compared with STTH3L06S and MUR3060CT, the FR305GH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-201AD axial packaging, and balanced 250ns trr/1.3V VF - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-volume automotive and industrial SMPS where reliability and through-hole compatibility are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the peak reverse voltage rating for FR305GH?
The FR305GH has a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 600V. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version H2105), and defines the maximum DC or peak AC reverse voltage the device can block continuously without breakdown under specified thermal conditions.
Is FR305GH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, FR305GH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "H" suffix in the ordering code and verified in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - confirming suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of FR305GH and how is it measured?
The FR305GH has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 250ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, and Irr = 0.25A, as specified in the ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS table. This parameter reflects the time required for the diode to transition from forward conduction to reverse blocking state, directly influencing switching loss in high-frequency converters.
Does FR305GH have halogen-free and RoHS-compliant construction?
Yes, FR305GH is both RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as stated in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. The molding compound is UL 94V-0 rated, and the pure tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability standards - satisfying environmental and safety requirements for global electronics manufacturing.
What package type does FR305GH use and what are its mechanical identifiers?
FR305GH uses the DO-201AD axial-leaded package, identified by a cylindrical black epoxy body (~9.5mm long), 0.8mm diameter leads, and a visible cathode band. Polarity is marked by the cathode band, and the device weighs approximately 1.20g. This package is standardized for wave soldering and compatible with legacy rectifier footprints.
