Product details
Overview
HER108GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a high-efficiency, AEC-Q101-qualified ultrafast recovery rectifier diode in DO-204AL (DO-41) package, rated for 1 A average forward current, 1000 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, and 75 ns reverse recovery time at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A - used in automotive-grade DC-DC converters and switching inverters.
For engineers reviewing the HER108GH datasheet, HER108GH pinout, HER108GH application, or HER108GH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1000 V VRRM rating, 1.7 V max VF at 1 A and 25°C, AEC-Q101 qualification, 30 A IFSM surge capability, and DO-41 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole power designs.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, glass-passivated silicon PN junction rectifier optimized for high-voltage, medium-current switching applications. Its ultrafast trr of 75 ns and low junction capacitance (10 pF at 1 MHz, VR = 4.0 V) minimize switching losses in high-frequency topologies.
The HER108GH operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range with RθJA = 60°C/W and RθJC = 15°C/W, supporting thermally constrained automotive and industrial environments where reliability under transient surge (30 A, 8.3 ms half-sine) is critical.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R06 | 600 V VRRM, 60 ns trr, TO-220AC package | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; higher thermal mass but lower VF (1.55 V) | Preferred for non-automotive 600 V systems requiring lower conduction loss and heatsink mounting |
| ES1JH | 600 V VRRM, 35 ns trr, DO-214AA (SMA) package | Surface-mount only; not mechanically or thermally equivalent to DO-41 | Used where board space is constrained and 600 V rating suffices; requires re-layout |
Compared with STTH1R06 and ES1JH, the HER108GH uniquely combines 1000 V rating, AEC-Q101 compliance, and DO-41 through-hole compatibility - making it the only direct-fit solution for automotive 1000 V rectification without redesign or derating.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HER108GH?
The HER108GH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ(max)) of +150°C, validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This allows uninterrupted operation in under-hood automotive environments up to 125°C ambient when properly heatsinked or mounted on copper pour. The HER108GH's thermal resistance (RθJA = 60°C/W) enables reliable thermal design within this limit.
Is HER108GH pin-compatible with other DO-41 rectifiers like 1N4007?
Yes, HER108GH uses the standard DO-204AL (DO-41) axial package with identical lead spacing and dimensions as 1N4007, enabling mechanical drop-in replacement. However, HER108GH offers ultrafast recovery (75 ns vs. 30 µs), higher VRRM (1000 V vs. 1000 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification - making it functionally superior in switching applications where 1N4007 would fail.
What does the "H" suffix in HER108GH signify?
The "H" suffix in HER108GH indicates full AEC-Q101 qualification per Rev D, including stress tests for temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing. This distinguishes HER108GH from the non-H variant (HER108G), which lacks automotive-grade reliability validation despite identical electrical specs.
What is the typical forward voltage drop of HER108GH at rated current?
The HER108GH exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.7 V at 1 A forward current and 25°C junction temperature, with typical values near 1.5 V. This VF remains stable across –40°C to +125°C operating range, supporting consistent efficiency in automotive thermal profiles. The HER108GH's low VF contributes directly to reduced conduction losses in high-duty-cycle power stages.
Can HER108GH be used in freewheeling applications?
Yes, HER108GH is explicitly recommended for freewheeling applications per Taiwan Semiconductor's official documentation. Its 75 ns reverse recovery time and 30 A surge rating allow safe energy recirculation across inductive loads such as motor windings or transformer primaries in switching converters - minimizing voltage spikes and ensuring reliable turn-off in hard-switched topologies.
