Product details
Overview
HER154GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a high-efficiency, AEC-Q101 qualified single-die silicon rectifier diode in DO-204AC (DO-15) package, rated for 1.5A average forward current, 400V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and 50A 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 in automotive and industrial DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the HER154GH datasheet, HER154GH pinout, HER154GH application, or HER154GH equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 400V VRRM, 1.0 V VF at rated current, 50 ns trr, and DO-15 mechanical compatibility with standard through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional, single-junction, glass-passivated silicon rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications. Its 50 ns reverse recovery time and 35 pF junction capacitance support efficient operation in converters operating up to several hundred kHz.
The HER154GH features pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability, UL 94V-0 molding compound, and a cathode band polarity indicator. Junction temperature range is −55°C to +150°C, with thermal resistance RθJA of 60°C/W in free-air conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage the device blocks without breakdown |
| IF | 1.5 A - Continuous average forward current under specified thermal conditions |
| IFSM | 50 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current capability (8.3 ms half-sine) |
| VF | 1.0 V @ 1.5 A, 25°C - Forward conduction loss directly impacts system efficiency and thermal design |
| trr | 50 ns - Fast recovery minimizes switching losses and EMI in high-frequency SMPS |
| CJ | 35 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - Junction capacitance affects high-frequency noise coupling and snubber design |
| TJ max | +150°C - Maximum allowable junction temperature defines thermal derating envelope |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-204AC (DO-15), axial-leaded, glass-passivated, RoHS- and halogen-free compliant. Cathode identified by a single band on the body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-efficiency rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-HER154G | Same VRRM (400 V), IF (1.5 A), and DO-15 package; trr = 50 ns, but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial only | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs qualification needs |
| ON Semiconductor MUR1540G | Higher VRRM (400 V same), identical IF/trr, but uses epoxy passivation instead of glass; slightly higher VF (1.15 V typ.) | Lower moisture resistance; less suited for high-humidity automotive environments | Prefer where JEDEC moisture sensitivity level (MSL) tolerance is less critical than price |
Compared with VS-HER154G and MUR1540G, the HER154GH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, glass passivation, and 1.0 V VF-making it the only option among the three validated for under-hood automotive use with minimal conduction loss.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for HER154GH?
The HER154GH has a VRRM of 400 V, as confirmed in the absolute maximum ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version I2105). This rating applies across the full operating temperature range and defines the highest reverse voltage the device can block repeatedly without avalanche breakdown. Exceeding this value risks irreversible junction damage.
Is HER154GH AEC-Q101 qualified, and what does that cover?
Yes, HER154GH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "H" suffix in its ordering code and confirmed in the FEATURES section. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing (uHAST), ensuring reliability for automotive under-hood applications per the AEC-Q101 standard.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of HER154GH at rated current?
The HER154GH exhibits a typical forward voltage of 1.0 V at 1.5 A and 25°C junction temperature, per the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and represents a key efficiency parameter-lower VF reduces conduction loss and thermal load compared to standard FR diodes.
Does HER154GH have a defined reverse recovery time (trr)?
Yes, HER154GH has a maximum reverse recovery time of 50 ns, tested at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This fast recovery characteristic is critical for minimizing switching losses and voltage spikes in high-frequency DC-DC converters and is consistent across the HER151G–HER155G subgroup.
What package type and lead finish does HER154GH use?
HER154GH uses the DO-204AC (DO-15) axial package with pure tin-plated leads, fully compliant with J-STD-002 solderability requirements. The device features a cathode band for polarity identification and weighs approximately 0.400 g. Its molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability and IEC 61249-2-21 halogen-free standards.
