Product details
Overview
HER151G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a high-efficiency, glass-passivated silicon rectifier diode in DO-204AC (DO-15) package, rated for 1.5A average forward current, 50V repetitive peak reverse voltage, and 50A surge current. It delivers low forward voltage (1.0V at 1.5A, 25°C), fast reverse recovery (50ns), and operates up to 150°C junction temperature - ideal for compact DC-DC converters requiring reliable freewheeling.
For engineers reviewing the HER151G datasheet, HER151G pinout, HER151G application, or HER151G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50V VRRM, 1.0V VF at rated current, 50ns trr, DO-15 mechanical compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification availability (HER151GH variant).
Technical Context
This single-die, axial-leaded rectifier uses a glass-passivated PN junction to achieve high surge robustness and stable leakage performance across temperature. Its 50ns reverse recovery time and 35pF junction capacitance support operation in high-frequency switching topologies up to several hundred kHz.
The device's thermal resistance of 60°C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 150°C maximum junction temperature enable sustained conduction in thermally constrained PCB layouts without forced cooling, while its pure tin-plated leads ensure J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in flyback/freewheeling clamp circuits |
| IF | 1.5 A - Continuous average forward current at 75°C ambient; determines steady-state power handling in DC-DC output stages |
| IFSM | 50 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current (8.3ms half-sine); supports inrush and transient overload tolerance |
| VF | 1.0 V @ 1.5A, 25°C - Low conduction loss improves efficiency and reduces thermal stress in high-duty-cycle applications |
| trr | 50 ns - Fast recovery minimizes switching losses and EMI in 100–500 kHz SMPS designs |
| CJ | 35 pF @ 1MHz, 4V - Low junction capacitance limits displacement current and improves high-frequency rectification fidelity |
| RθJA | 60 °C/W - Enables ~1.2W dissipation at 75°C ambient before reaching 150°C TJ limit with standard PCB copper area |
Pinout & Package
HER151G is housed in a DO-204AC (DO-15) axial-leaded package with cathode indicated by a band. Leads are pure tin-plated and compliant with J-STD-002 solderability requirements.

Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Switching Mode Power Supply Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated flyback or forward converters delivering 5–24V at ≤1.5A. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve conducting during transformer reset phase; blocks reverse voltage during primary switch ON time.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-efficiency rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L06U | 600V VRRM, 1.05V VF, 55ns trr, SOD-123FL package | Higher voltage rating but surface-mount only; not mechanically interchangeable | Select for space-constrained PCBs needing >50V margin and automated assembly |
| ON Semi MUR150 | 50V VRRM, 1.15V VF, 75ns trr, DO-15 package | Slower recovery and higher VF; same axial footprint and mounting | Acceptable drop-in replacement where 50ns trr is not critical and 0.15V higher loss is tolerable |
Compared with STTH1L06U and MUR150, HER151G offers the lowest VF (1.0V) and fastest trr (50ns) in the DO-15 form factor, making it optimal for thermally sensitive, high-frequency DC-DC outputs where efficiency and EMI control are prioritized over voltage headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HER151G?
The HER151G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version I2105). This rating enables reliable operation in enclosed or high-ambient-temperature environments when derated per the forward current derating curve. Thermal design must ensure junction temperature remains below 150°C under worst-case load and ambient conditions for HER151G.
Is HER151G pin-compatible with standard 1N4001–1N4007 diodes?
Yes, HER151G uses the DO-204AC (DO-15) package with identical lead spacing, diameter, and axial orientation as 1N400x series diodes, enabling direct mechanical replacement on existing PCBs. However, HER151G offers significantly faster recovery (50ns vs. >2μs) and lower VF (1.0V vs. ~1.1V), so circuit timing and efficiency improve without layout changes - provided voltage rating (50V) suffices for the application.
Does HER151G meet automotive qualification standards?
The base HER151G is not AEC-Q101 qualified, but Taiwan Semiconductor offers the HER151GH variant - identical electrically and mechanically, with full AEC-Q101 stress testing certification. HER151GH is recommended for automotive body electronics, infotainment power supplies, and other automotive applications requiring qualified components; HER151G remains suitable for industrial and consumer use.
What is the typical reverse leakage current of HER151G at 125°C?
At 125°C junction temperature and rated reverse voltage (50V), the HER151G exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 150 µA, per electrical specifications in the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This value is measured under pulse conditions (PW = 30ms) and reflects stable performance under elevated thermal stress, supporting reliable operation in high-temperature power conversion stages using HER151G.
Can HER151G be used in a full-wave bridge configuration?
Yes, HER151G can be used as one leg in a discrete full-wave bridge rectifier. Four HER151G diodes configured in a standard bridge topology support up to 1.5A average DC output current and 50V peak inverse voltage per leg. Its low VF and fast trr reduce conduction and switching losses compared to general-purpose rectifiers, improving overall bridge efficiency - especially in high-frequency or thermally limited designs using HER151G.
