Product details
Overview
HER104G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a high-efficiency, glass-passivated silicon rectifier diode rated for 300 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1 A average forward current (IF), and 30 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM), with 1.0 V forward voltage at 1 A and 25°C - used in DC-DC converters and switching-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the HER104G datasheet, HER104G pinout, HER104G application, or HER104G equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-41 package, 50 ns reverse recovery time (trr), 15 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz/4 V, 60 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, and AEC-Q101 qualification availability in variant HER104GH.
Technical Context
This single-die, axial-leaded rectifier operates as a unidirectional conduction device in high-frequency switching power stages. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance up to 125°C (IR = 150 µA) and supports reliable freewheeling in flyback and boost topologies.
The HER104G delivers low conduction loss (VF = 1.0 V @ 1 A) and fast switching response (trr = 50 ns), enabling efficient operation in 50–500 kHz SMPS designs where thermal management and reverse recovery are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 300 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating range in 24–48 V output DC-DC stages |
| IF | 1 A - continuous average forward current; sets minimum heatsinking requirement for sustained load conditions |
| IFSM | 30 A - peak non-repetitive surge rating; withstands inrush during cold-start or short-circuit recovery |
| VF @ 1 A, 25°C | 1.0 V - forward voltage drop; determines conduction loss of ~1.0 W at full load |
| trr | 50 ns - reverse recovery time; enables stable operation up to ~500 kHz without excessive switching loss |
| CJ @ 1 MHz, 4 V | 15 pF - junction capacitance; limits high-frequency displacement current and EMI generation |
| RθJA | 60 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient; requires ≤ 75°C ambient for 150°C max junction temp at full IF |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-204AL (DO-41), axial leaded, glass-passivated silicon die, cathode indicated by band, RoHS and halogen-free compliant.

| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail or filter capacitor; blocks reverse voltage up to 300 V |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-efficiency rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R04 | VRRM = 400 V, VF = 1.15 V @ 1 A, trr = 45 ns, DO-41 package | Higher VRRM suits 48 V systems; slightly higher VF increases conduction loss | Prefer when 400 V rating is required and 45 ns trr provides marginal EMI advantage |
| ON Semi MUR1040 | VRRM = 400 V, VF = 1.25 V @ 1 A, trr = 35 ns, DO-41 package | Faster trr but higher VF; optimized for ultra-high-frequency SMPS (>1 MHz) | Select only if system operates >600 kHz and can tolerate +0.25 V VF penalty |
Compared with STTH1R04 and MUR1040, the HER104G offers the lowest VF (1.0 V) in the 300 V class, making it optimal for thermally constrained 1 A DC-DC outputs where conduction loss dominates over switching loss.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for HER104G?
The HER104G has a VRRM rating of 300 V, meaning it reliably blocks reverse voltages up to this level without breakdown. This value is fixed per the datasheet's absolute maximum ratings table and applies across the full operating temperature range. Exceeding 300 V risks irreversible junction failure. The HER104G is part of a series where '104' directly encodes the 300 V rating (HER101G = 50 V, HER102G = 100 V, etc.).
What is the forward voltage drop (VF) of HER104G at 1 A and 25°C?
The HER104G exhibits a typical forward voltage of 1.0 V at 1 A and 25°C, as specified in the electrical characteristics table. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) to avoid self-heating effects. At elevated temperatures or higher currents, VF decreases slightly due to negative temperature coefficient of silicon diodes, but design margins should be based on the 1.0 V typ value.
Does HER104G have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base HER104G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the variant HER104GH is explicitly listed as AEC-Q101 qualified in the ordering information section. HER104GH shares identical electrical and thermal specs but adds automotive-grade process controls and testing. For automotive applications, HER104GH must be specified - HER104G alone does not meet AEC-Q101 requirements.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of HER104G, and under what conditions is it measured?
The HER104G has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 50 ns, measured under the condition IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This test reflects real-world switching behavior in flyback and forward converters. The 50 ns value places HER104G in the "ultrafast" rectifier category, distinguishing it from general-purpose diodes like 1N4007 (trr > 2 µs).
What package type does HER104G use, and what are its key mechanical features?
The HER104G uses the DO-204AL (DO-41) axial-leaded package, with pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability standards and passing JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing. The molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability, and polarity is marked by a visible cathode band. Its weight is approximately 0.330 g, and it supports manual or automated through-hole assembly.
