Product details
Overview
HER101-T from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0A high-efficiency axial-lead rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 50V maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.1V forward voltage at 1.0A, and 50ns reverse recovery time (trr). It delivers low leakage (5.0µA @ 50V), high-speed switching, and operates from –65°C to +150°C - used in offline AC/DC input stages of compact power adapters and auxiliary supplies.
For engineers reviewing the HER101-T datasheet, HER101-T pinout, HER101-T application, or HER101-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50V VRRM rating, 1.1V VF at 1A, 50ns trr, DO-41 mechanical compatibility, and thermal derating behavior above 50°C ambient.
Technical Context
The HER101-T is a silicon planar epitaxial high-efficiency rectifier optimized for fast recovery in low-voltage, high-current AC/DC front-end applications. Its 50ns trr and 1.1V VF at 1A reflect a design trade-off favoring reduced switching loss over ultra-low conduction loss - distinct from standard recovery (e.g., 1N4001) and ultrafast (e.g., UF1001) families.
It uses a color-banded cathode marking on axial leads, conforms to UL 94V-0 flammability, and is rated for 30A non-repetitive surge (8.3ms half-sine). Junction capacitance is 20pF at 4V reverse bias, supporting stable performance in 50/60Hz and low-frequency SMPS input rectification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating limit in 36–48VAC input circuits. |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A @ 50°C ambient with 9.5mm lead length - defines continuous DC output capability in linear or flyback auxiliary windings. |
| VF @ 1.0A | 1.1 V - Forward drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in compact, unheatsinked designs. |
| trr | 50 ns - Enables efficient operation up to ~100kHz switching frequencies without excessive reverse recovery loss. |
| IR @ 50V | 5.0 µA - Low leakage supports stable hold-up and low standby power in energy-sensitive adapters. |
| Tj Range | –65°C to +150°C - Allows deployment in automotive under-hood auxiliary supplies and industrial control power modules. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 molded plastic case with plated axial leads; polarity indicated by cathode band; weight ≈ 0.35 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Input for positive half-cycle conduction | Connected to AC source or transformer secondary; must withstand 30A surge during cold-start. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Output for rectified DC current | Feeds bulk capacitor or downstream regulator; reverse voltage rating applies across this terminal pair. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-efficiency rectification | Combines 1.1V VF and 50ns trr to reduce total power loss vs. general-purpose rectifiers in 50–100kHz inputs. |
| Low leakage current | 5.0 µA max @ 50V enables reliable hold-up in low-power standby modes without capacitor discharge issues. |
| DO-41 mechanical standardization | Enables direct replacement in legacy PCB footprints designed for 1N400x/1N540x series, with identical lead spacing and bend radius. |
| UL 94V-0 flammability rating | Meets safety requirements for enclosed power supplies without additional potting or flame barriers. |
Applications
| AC/DC Wall Adapters | Industrial Control Power Supplies |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-efficiency rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UF1001-T | 25ns trr, 1.3V VF @ 1A, same DO-41 package | Better suited for >200kHz SMPS where reverse recovery loss dominates | Select UF1001-T when reducing EMI or improving efficiency above 100kHz; accept higher VF penalty. |
| 1N4001-T | 30µs trr, 1.1V VF @ 1A, same DO-41 package | Lower cost but unsuitable for switching frequencies >1kHz due to high recovery loss | Choose 1N4001-T only for pure 50/60Hz linear supplies with no switching content. |
Compared with UF1001-T, HER101-T trades faster recovery for lower forward voltage; compared with 1N4001-T, it delivers 600× faster recovery at identical VF - making it optimal for quasi-resonant and low-frequency SMPS where both conduction and switching losses matter.

FAQ
Is HER101-T RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes. HER101-T meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The DO-41 package uses lead-free matte tin-plated axial leads and UL 94V-0 compliant molding compound - verified in Diodes Incorporated's official compliance documentation DS25001 Rev. 6.
Can HER101-T replace 1N4001 in existing designs?
Yes, HER101-T is a direct DO-41 footprint replacement for 1N4001 with identical pinout and mechanical dimensions. Its 50ns trr improves efficiency in any design with switching content, though thermal design should verify junction temperature remains below 150°C under worst-case load.
What is the maximum allowable lead temperature during soldering?
The maximum lead temperature is 260°C for 10 seconds, per MIL-STD-202, Method 208. Diodes Incorporated specifies that soldering must use controlled thermal profiles to avoid internal die stress; wave or hand-soldering is permitted provided dwell time and peak temperature limits are strictly observed.
Does HER101-T support reverse voltage beyond 50V in short-duration pulses?
No. VRRM = 50V is the absolute maximum repetitive reverse voltage. Transient spikes exceeding 50V - even briefly - risk avalanche breakdown and permanent degradation. For 120VAC applications, HER102-T (100V VRRM) or higher-rated variants must be used.
