Product details
Overview
HER155GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a high-efficiency, AEC-Q101 qualified 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 (1.3V at 1.5A, 25°C) and fast reverse recovery time (50 ns), making it suitable for freewheeling and switching-mode power supply output rectification.
For engineers reviewing the HER155GH datasheet, HER155GH pinout, HER155GH application, or HER155GH equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 400V VRRM, 1.3V VF at rated current, 50 ns trr, and DO-15 mechanical compatibility in automotive and industrial DC-DC converters.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, glass-passivated, planar junction silicon rectifier optimized for high-efficiency switching applications. Its 400V VRRM and 50 ns reverse recovery time enable reduced switching losses in high-frequency converters, while the 1.3V forward voltage minimizes conduction loss at 1.5A DC load.
The HER155GH operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and features pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability. Its 60°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance supports reliable operation under natural convection in compact layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown |
| IF | 1.5 A - Continuous average forward current rating at 75°C case temperature |
| IFSM | 50 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine) for transient overload handling |
| VF | 1.3 V @ 1.5 A, 25°C - Forward voltage drop determining conduction loss and thermal rise |
| trr | 50 ns @ IF=0.5A, IR=1.0A, Irr=0.25A - Reverse recovery time affecting switching loss in SMPS |
| CJ | 35 pF @ 1 MHz, VR=4.0V - Junction capacitance influencing high-frequency noise and snubber design |
| TJ max | +150°C - Maximum allowable junction temperature defining thermal derating envelope |
Pinout & Package
HER155GH 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 = cathode, unbanded end = anode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connects to lower-potential side of rectified path; must withstand 1.5A continuous and 50A surge |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse voltage blocking terminal | Banded end; connects to output rail; blocks up to 400V reverse bias during off-state |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated reliability for automotive power electronics including engine control and ADAS subsystems |
| Glass passivated junction | Enhanced moisture resistance and long-term stability under thermal cycling and humidity stress |
| Low VF (1.3V) | Reduces power dissipation by ~20% vs. standard 1N4007 at 1.5A, lowering heatsink requirements |
| Fast trr (50 ns) | Enables operation up to ~200 kHz in flyback and forward converters without excessive switching loss |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive for environmentally constrained designs |

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-HER155G | Same VRRM (400V), IF (1.5A), and DO-15 package; VF = 1.3V (typ), trr = 50 ns - identical electrical specs | No AEC-Q101 qualification; intended for industrial/commercial use only | Select VS-HER155G where automotive qualification is not required and cost sensitivity is higher |
| ON Semiconductor MUR1540 | VRRM = 400V, IF = 1.5A, DO-15, but trr = 75 ns (slower), VF = 1.25V (slightly lower) | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; higher reverse recovery loss in >100 kHz designs | Choose MUR1540 only if lower VF is prioritized over switching speed and automotive compliance is unnecessary |
Compared with VS-HER155G and MUR1540, the HER155GH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 400V/1.5A rating, 1.3V VF, and 50 ns trr in DO-15 - making it the only drop-in solution for automotive-grade, high-frequency rectification where reliability and efficiency are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating for HER155GH?
The HER155GH has a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 400 V. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version I2105), where HER155G is explicitly listed under the 400 V column. Exceeding this voltage risks avalanche breakdown and permanent damage to the HER155GH.
Is HER155GH suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, HER155GH is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "H" suffix in its ordering code per Taiwan Semiconductor's documentation. This certification validates its robustness for automotive power electronics, including under-hood environments with extended temperature cycling, vibration, and humidity exposure - a key differentiator versus non-H variants like HER155G.
What is the forward voltage drop of HER155GH at full rated current?
The HER155GH exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.3 V at 1.5 A and 25°C junction temperature, per the Electrical Specifications table. At elevated temperatures (e.g., 125°C), VF decreases slightly due to semiconductor physics, but system-level thermal design must ensure the HER155GH stays within its 150°C TJ limit.
Does HER155GH have a defined reverse recovery time?
Yes, the HER155GH has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 50 ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This parameter is specified in the Electrical Specifications section and distinguishes HER155GH from slower general-purpose rectifiers such as 1N4007, enabling efficient operation in high-frequency switchers.
What package type does HER155GH use, and how is polarity marked?
The HER155GH uses the DO-204AC (DO-15) axial-leaded package. Polarity is marked by a visible cathode band on the body - the banded end is the cathode terminal, and the opposite end is the anode. This marking aligns with JEDEC standards and is verified in the Mechanical Data and Marking Diagram sections of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet.
