Product details
Overview
HER108G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 A, 1000 V high-efficiency glass-passivated axial-lead rectifier diode in DO-41 package, optimized for switching-mode power supplies and freewheeling applications requiring low forward voltage (1.7 V at 1 A) and high surge capability (30 A).
For engineers reviewing the HER108G datasheet, HER108G pinout, HER108G application, or HER108G equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage rating (1000 V), junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (60 °C/W), reverse recovery time (75 ns), and AEC-Q101 qualification availability in H-suffix variants.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, silicon planar epitaxial high-voltage rectifier with glass-passivated junction for enhanced reliability and moisture resistance. Its 1000 V VRRM and 75 ns trr support fast-switching topologies in DC/DC converters and inverters.
The DO-41 package provides axial leads with pure tin plating (J-STD-002 compliant), polarity indicated by cathode band, and UL 94V-0 molding compound - enabling robust through-hole assembly in industrial and automotive-grade designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - supports primary-side rectification in offline SMPS up to 800 V DC bus |
| IF | 1 A continuous - suitable for medium-power auxiliary rails and bias supplies |
| IFSM | 30 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands inrush and transient overloads without failure |
| VF | 1.7 V @ 1 A, 25°C - reduces conduction loss vs. standard rectifiers (e.g., 1N4007: ~1.1 V but only 1000 V derated) |
| trr | 75 ns - enables operation at >100 kHz switching frequencies with low switching loss |
| RθJA | 60 °C/W - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management in ambient ≤70°C |
| Junction Temp | -55°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
HER108G uses the DO-204AL (DO-41) axial-leaded package with cathode-indicating band. Leads are pure tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002. Weight: 0.330 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Current entry terminal during forward conduction | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., transformer secondary center-tap or switch node) |
| Cathode (banded end) | Current exit terminal during forward conduction | Connected to output rail or energy storage capacitor; defines polarity of rectified output |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Prevents moisture ingress and surface leakage, improving long-term reliability in humid environments |
| AEC-Q101 qualification option (HER108GH) | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics per stress-test requirements |
| UL 94V-0 molding compound | Meets flammability safety standards for enclosed industrial equipment and consumer power adapters |
| JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance | Eliminates tin whisker growth risk in high-reliability, long-life applications |
| Halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21 | Complies with RoHS and environmental regulations for green manufacturing and end-of-life disposal |
Applications
| DC/DC Converter Secondary Rectification | Switching Inverter Freewheeling Diode |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-frequency isolated DC/DC converter (e.g., 12 V → 3.3 V flyback) with 100–200 kHz switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier converting transformer AC to regulated DC; handles 1 A average load current. Use Value: 75 ns trr minimizes reverse recovery loss; 1.7 V VF balances efficiency and thermal rise at full load. | Use Scenario: Three-phase motor inverter bridge using IGBTs or MOSFETs with inductive load. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling path for back-EMF current when main switch turns off. Use Value: 30 A IFSM safely clamps inductive kickback spikes; 1000 V VRRM accommodates bus voltage overshoot. |
| AC-DC Adapter Input Bridge Leg | Automotive HVAC Blower Power Supply |
Use Scenario: 230 V AC input adapter with voltage-doubler or full-wave bridge configuration. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One leg of discrete bridge rectifier handling 1 A RMS input current. Use Value: Glass passivation ensures stable IR < 5 µA at 1000 V, reducing no-load leakage and standby power loss. | Use Scenario: 12 V battery-fed blower motor driver with PWM control and EMI filtering. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-polarity protection and flyback suppression diode on motor coil supply line. Use Value: AEC-Q101-qualified variant (HER108GH) meets automotive temperature (-40°C to +125°C) and vibration requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R06 | 1 A, 600 V, 50 ns trr, TO-220AC package | Limited to ≤600 V systems; higher thermal mass but requires heatsink for same power dissipation | Select when lower trr is critical and board space allows TO-220 footprint |
| ON Semi MUR110 | 1 A, 1000 V, 75 ns trr, DO-41, VF = 1.7 V - identical electrical specs but non-AEC-Q101 rated | No automotive qualification; slightly higher IR at 125°C (200 µA vs. HER108G's 150 µA) | Select for cost-sensitive industrial designs where AEC-Q101 is not required |
Compared with STTH1R06 and MUR110, HER108G uniquely combines 1000 V rating, 75 ns recovery, DO-41 form factor, and optional AEC-Q101 qualification - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability 1000 V rectification where thermal and mechanical constraints preclude TO-220 devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for HER108G?
The HER108G has a VRRM of 1000 V, confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating applies at TA = 25°C and derates linearly above 25°C ambient per the Forward Current Derating Curve. HER108G is the highest-voltage member of the HER101G–HER108G family, where "8" denotes 1000 V.
Is HER108G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - the HER108GH variant (AEC-Q101 qualified) is explicitly listed in the Ordering Information section. While HER108G itself is not automatically qualified, its construction (glass passivation, JESD 201 Class 2, halogen-free) and operating range (-55°C to +150°C) align with automotive requirements. For certified use, specify HER108GH.
What is the forward voltage drop (VF) of HER108G at rated current?
HER108G exhibits a typical forward voltage of 1.7 V at IF = 1 A and TJ = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This value increases with junction temperature and current - e.g., ~2.0 V at 125°C junction temperature per Fig.4 Typical Forward Characteristics.
Does HER108G have a defined reverse recovery time (trr)?
Yes - HER108G has a maximum reverse recovery time of 75 ns under test conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, as stated in the Electrical Specifications table. This value is shared with HER106G and HER107G, distinguishing them from lower-voltage variants (≤50 ns).
What package type does HER108G use, and what are its mechanical features?
HER108G uses the DO-204AL (DO-41) axial-leaded package. Key mechanical features include pure tin-plated leads (J-STD-002 compliant), UL 94V-0 flammability-rated epoxy molding, cathode polarity band, and 0.330 g weight. Dimensions conform to standard DO-41 outline drawings in the Package Outline Dimensions section.
