Product details
Overview
HER154G-T from Taiwan Semiconductor is a high-efficiency, glass-passivated silicon rectifier diode rated for 1.5A average forward current and 300V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), with 1.0V typical forward voltage at 1.5A and 25°C junction temperature. It serves as a primary output rectifier in compact DC-DC converters and switching-mode power supplies where low conduction loss and fast recovery are critical.
For engineers reviewing the HER154G-T datasheet, HER154G-T pinout, HER154G-T application, or HER154G-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-204AC (DO-15) package, 50ns reverse recovery time, 50A surge capability, thermal resistance of 60°C/W, and compliance with RoHS and halogen-free standards per IEC 61249-2-21.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, unidirectional, standard-recovery rectifier optimized for medium-voltage, medium-current switching applications. Its 300V VRRM, 1.0V VF at 1.5A, and 50ns trr reflect a balanced trade-off between blocking capability, conduction efficiency, and dynamic performance-distinct from ultrafast (trr < 35ns) or Schottky alternatives.
The DO-204AC (DO-15) package enables through-hole mounting with pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is fixed at 60°C/W under standard PCB conditions, limiting continuous power dissipation to ~0.42W at TA = 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 300 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown; defines usable input/output voltage range in flyback or buck-derived topologies. |
| IF | 1.5 A - Continuous average forward current rating at 25°C ambient; derates linearly above 25°C per forward current derating curve. |
| VF | 1.0 V (typ) @ 1.5A, 25°C - Forward conduction drop directly impacts conduction loss (Pcond ≈ IF × VF) and thermal load in high-duty-cycle operation. |
| trr | 50 ns - Reverse recovery time measured at IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, Irr = 0.25A; determines switching loss and EMI generation during turn-off in hard-switched converters. |
| IFSM | 50 A - Non-repetitive surge current (8.3ms half-sine) tolerance; supports inrush current handling and transient overload resilience. |
| RθJA | 60 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to ambient; sets maximum allowable power dissipation (≈0.42W at TA = 25°C) before reaching 150°C max junction temperature. |
Pinout & Package
HER154G-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. Polarity is unambiguous: banded end is cathode; opposite end is anode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., transformer secondary center-tap or switch node in flyback); must withstand full forward surge current. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point | Connected to output capacitor positive rail; carries full load current and defines output reference polarity; marked by visible band. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated junction | Enhances long-term reliability and moisture resistance versus epoxy-passivated devices; critical for industrial environments with humidity cycling. |
| Low VF (1.0V typ) | Reduces conduction losses by ~15–20% compared to legacy 1N400x series at same current, improving efficiency in 12–48V output converters. |
| 50A IFSM rating | Supports startup surges and short-duration overloads without degradation-enables smaller input bulk capacitors and relaxed fuse sizing. |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Meets IEC 61249-2-21; eliminates brominated flame retardants and supports lead-free assembly and green product compliance requirements. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Switching Mode Inverter Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used as the main output rectifier in isolated 12V/24V/48V DC-DC converters with 100–500kHz switching frequency. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve converting high-frequency AC from transformer secondary into regulated DC output. Use Value: 1.0V VF minimizes conduction loss at 1.5A load; 50ns trr limits switching loss and EMI during turn-off transitions. | Use Scenario: Placed across inductive loads (e.g., motor windings or relay coils) in H-bridge or half-bridge inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-impedance path for inductive kickback current during switch-off, preventing voltage spikes. Use Value: 300V VRRM safely clamps transients up to 300V; 50A IFSM handles repetitive energy recirculation without thermal runaway. |
| AC-DC Adapter Secondary Side | Industrial Power Supply Input Stage |
Use Scenario: Rectifies transformer secondary output in compact wall adapters delivering ≤18W at 5–12V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standard-recovery rectifier replacing slower 1N4007 in cost-sensitive, thermally constrained designs. Use Value: DO-15 package fits legacy footprints; 1.0V VF improves light-load efficiency over 1N4007 (1.1V min), extending battery life in portable chargers. | Use Scenario: Used in auxiliary bias supplies or control-rail rectification within programmable logic controller (PLC) power modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides stable, low-loss DC for gate drivers and microcontroller rails in harsh industrial environments. Use Value: Glass passivation and 150°C TJMAX ensure operational integrity at elevated ambient temperatures (>70°C); RoHS/halogen-free compliance meets EU industrial directives. |
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, 1.0A IF, 65ns trr, TO-220AC package | Higher voltage rating but lower current; requires heatsink for >0.5A continuous use | Prefer when higher blocking voltage is needed and board space allows TO-220 footprint |
| SB1530 | 30V VRRM, 1.5A IF, Schottky, 0.45V VF, DO-204AC | Lower VRRM; no reverse recovery; unsuitable for >30V circuits | Choose only for low-voltage (<24V) applications where ultra-low VF outweighs voltage limitation |
Compared with STTH1L06U and SB1530, HER154G-T uniquely balances 300V blocking, 1.5A current, 1.0V VF, and DO-15 compatibility-making it optimal for mid-range industrial and telecom DC-DC outputs where thermal, voltage, and footprint constraints intersect.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for HER154G-T?
The HER154G-T has a VRRM of 300V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table for the HER154G-T row. This value is fixed for this specific variant and differs from other members of the HER15xG-T family (e.g., HER153G-T = 200V, HER155G-T = 400V). Exceeding 300V risks irreversible avalanche breakdown.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of HER154G-T under standard operating conditions?
The HER154G-T exhibits a typical forward voltage of 1.0V at 1.5A forward current and 25°C junction temperature, per the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3ms) and represents conduction loss under nominal load-critical for calculating thermal rise and efficiency in DC-DC designs using HER154G-T.
Does HER154G-T have a specified reverse recovery time (trr)?
Yes, HER154G-T has a maximum reverse recovery time of 50ns, tested at IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, and Irr = 0.25A. This parameter is explicitly listed in the Electrical Specifications table for HER154G-T and distinguishes it from slower general-purpose rectifiers like the 1N4007 (trr > 2µs), making HER154G-T suitable for higher-frequency switching.
What package type does HER154G-T use, and how is polarity identified?
HER154G-T uses the DO-204AC (DO-15) axial-leaded package. Polarity is identified by a cathode band on the body-this banded end is the cathode terminal, while the opposite lead is the anode. The package features pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance.
Is HER154G-T compliant with environmental regulations such as RoHS and halogen-free standards?
Yes, HER154G-T is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. These compliance statements appear in the FEATURES section of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version B2105) and apply specifically to the HER154G-T variant, confirming suitability for environmentally regulated markets including EU industrial and consumer electronics.
