Product details
Overview
HER152G-T from Taiwan Semiconductor is a high-efficiency, single-die silicon rectifier diode in DO-204AC (DO-15) package, rated for 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.5 A average forward current (IF), and 50 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM). It delivers low forward voltage drop (1.0 V at 1.5 A, 25°C) and fast reverse recovery time (50 ns), making it suitable for switching-mode power supplies and freewheeling paths in DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the HER152G-T datasheet, HER152G-T pinout, HER152G-T application, or HER152G-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V VRRM, 1.0 V VF at rated current, 50 ns trr, DO-15 mechanical compatibility, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial and consumer power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This device is a unidirectional, planar passivated PN-junction rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications. Its glass-passivated chip junction ensures stable performance under thermal cycling, while the 60 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance supports reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.
The HER152G-T exhibits low junction capacitance (35 pF at 1 MHz, 4 V), enabling minimal switching loss in high-speed topologies. Its reverse leakage remains tightly controlled-5 µA at 25°C and 150 µA at 125°C-supporting stable blocking behavior across operating temperature ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown |
| IF | 1.5 A - Continuous average forward current rating at 75°C ambient with adequate heatsinking |
| VF | 1.0 V @ 1.5 A, 25°C - Low conduction loss enabling higher efficiency in power stages |
| trr | 50 ns - Fast recovery reduces switching losses and EMI in SMPS operating above 50 kHz |
| IFSM | 50 A - Withstands short-duration inrush/surge currents during startup or fault conditions |
| RθJA | 60 °C/W - Thermal resistance defines temperature rise per watt dissipated in standard PCB mounting |
| Junction temp | −55°C to +150°C - Operating range compatible with industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
HER152G-T uses the DO-204AC (DO-15) axial-leaded package with cathode indicated by a band on the body. Leads are pure tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002. Weight ≈ 0.400 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Forward current entry point | Connects to lower-potential side of circuit (e.g., switch node in buck freewheel path) |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connects to higher-potential rail; polarity marking prevents incorrect installation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated junction | Enhances long-term reliability and moisture resistance vs. epoxy-passivated alternatives |
| Low VF (1.0 V) | Reduces conduction loss by ~15–20% compared to standard 1N400x series at same IF |
| Fast trr (50 ns) | Enables use in 100–500 kHz SMPS without significant switching loss penalty |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and global environmental compliance requirements for end-product certification |
| DO-15 mechanical standardization | Ensures drop-in replacement capability with legacy through-hole rectifiers in existing layouts |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Switching Mode Inverter Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used as secondary-side rectifier in isolated flyback or forward converters delivering 5–24 V output at ≤1.5 A. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve converting high-frequency AC from transformer secondary into regulated DC output. Use Value: 1.0 V VF minimizes conduction loss; 50 ns trr suppresses voltage spikes during MOSFET turn-on, reducing snubber burden. | Use Scenario: Placed across inductive loads (e.g., relay coils, motor windings) in half-bridge inverters to clamp back-EMF. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode providing low-impedance path for inductor current decay when switching devices turn off. Use Value: 50 A IFSM handles transient energy safely; 100 V VRRM covers typical 24–48 V bus systems with margin. |
| Buck Regulator Synchronous Replacement | AC-DC Adapter Input Bridge Leg |
Use Scenario: Replaces synchronous MOSFET in low-cost buck regulators where gate drive complexity must be avoided. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive rectifier conducting only during low-side switch conduction phase. Use Value: Eliminates need for timing-critical gate control; DO-15 footprint simplifies layout versus SMD alternatives. | Use Scenario: One leg of a discrete full-wave bridge rectifier in universal-input (90–264 VAC) offline adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-wave rectifying element handling 50/60 Hz line frequency with high surge tolerance. Use Value: 50 A IFSM withstands cold-start inrush; 100 V VRRM provides sufficient margin over 1.414 × 70 V peak after PFC stage. |
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 | 600 V VRRM, 1.0 A IF, 65 ns trr, TO-220AC package | Higher voltage rating but lower current; requires heatsink for >0.5 A continuous | Choose for 400–600 V systems needing higher blocking; avoid if space-constrained or <1 A load |
| ES1J | 600 V VRRM, 1.0 A IF, 35 ns trr, DO-214AA (SMA) package | Faster recovery but lower current rating and surface-mount only | Prefer for high-frequency, low-current SMT designs; not mechanically or thermally interchangeable with HER152G-T |
Compared with STTH1L06U and ES1J, the HER152G-T uniquely balances 100 V blocking, 1.5 A current, 50 ns speed, and through-hole DO-15 packaging-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, medium-power, leaded-board power supplies where thermal mass and manual assembly matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for HER152G-T?
The HER152G-T has a VRRM rating of 100 V, meaning it reliably blocks up to 100 V of reverse voltage in repetitive operation. This value is fixed per the device's marking code "HER152G-T", where "152" denotes the 100 V grade within the HER151G-T to HER156G-T family. Exceeding this voltage risks avalanche breakdown and permanent damage to the HER152G-T.
Is HER152G-T RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the HER152G-T is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Its molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and its pure tin-plated leads satisfy J-STD-002 solderability requirements. These specifications are confirmed in Taiwan Semiconductor's official datasheet revision B2105 and apply directly to the HER152G-T variant.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of HER152G-T at full rated current?
The HER152G-T exhibits a typical forward voltage of 1.0 V at 1.5 A and 25°C junction temperature, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This value increases with temperature and current-e.g., ~1.15 V at 100°C-and is measured under pulsed conditions (0.3 ms pulse width) to minimize self-heating effects during test.
Can HER152G-T replace a 1N4002 in a design?
HER152G-T can replace 1N4002 in many cases due to matching DO-15 package, 1.5 A IF, and 100 V VRRM, but offers superior performance: lower VF (1.0 V vs. ~1.1 V), faster trr (50 ns vs. >2 µs), and higher IFSM (50 A vs. 30 A). However, verify thermal design-its lower VF reduces power loss, but layout must still accommodate its 60 °C/W RθJA.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of HER152G-T and how is it measured?
The HER152G-T has a maximum reverse recovery time of 50 ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, per the datasheet's Electrical Specifications table. This parameter reflects the time required for minority carriers to clear after forward conduction ceases-critical for minimizing switching loss and ringing in high-frequency power circuits using the HER152G-T.
