Product details
Overview
HER155G-T from Taiwan Semiconductor is a high-efficiency, glass-passivated silicon rectifier diode rated for 1.5A average forward current and 400V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), with 50A surge capability and 1.3V forward voltage at 1.5A/25°C. It serves as a primary output rectifier in compact DC-DC converters and switching-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the HER155G-T datasheet, HER155G-T pinout, HER155G-T application, or HER155G-T equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM=400V, IF=1.5A, trr=50ns, VF=1.3V, and DO-204AC (DO-15) package compatibility in space-constrained industrial and consumer power designs.
Technical Context
The HER155G-T employs a single-die, planar-junction structure with glass passivation for stable junction protection and low leakage. Its 50ns reverse recovery time and 35pF junction capacitance support operation in high-frequency switching topologies up to several hundred kHz.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA=60°C/W in free-air conditions, enabling reliable operation at TJ up to +150°C. The device uses pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and passes JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown; defines maximum input/output voltage swing in flyback or buck-derived topologies. |
| IF | 1.5 A - Continuous average forward current rating at TA=75°C; sets minimum heatsinking requirement for sustained conduction. |
| trr | 50 ns - Measured at IF=0.5A, IR=1.0A, Irr=0.25A; enables efficient operation in 100–500 kHz SMPS with minimal switching loss. |
| VF | 1.3 V @ 1.5A, 25°C - Forward voltage drop under nominal load; directly determines conduction loss (Pcond ≈ 1.95W at full load). |
| CJ | 35 pF @ 1MHz, VR=4.0V - Junction capacitance affecting high-frequency noise coupling and snubber design in resonant circuits. |
| IFSM | 50 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current (8.3ms half-sine); supports inrush current handling during cold-start or line transients. |
| TJ(max) | +150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; constrains thermal design margin when operating near IF limit. |
Pinout & Package
HER155G-T is housed in a 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.
| 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 return path). |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point | Connected to output rail or filter capacitor positive; polarity marked by visible band on case. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures long-term reliability under humidity and thermal cycling; eliminates need for conformal coating in industrial environments. |
| Low VF (1.3V @ 1.5A) | Reduces conduction losses by ~15% vs. standard 1N4007 (1.55V), improving efficiency in 5–24V output converters. |
| Fast trr = 50 ns | Minimizes reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and associated switching loss, critical for >100 kHz operation. |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Meets IEC 61249-2-21; supports compliance in EU, China RoHS, and JEITA-MITI regulated end products. |
| UL 94V-0 molding compound | Provides flame-retardant encapsulation required for safety-certified AC-DC adapters and ITE power supplies. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Switching Mode Inverter Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated 12V/24V buck-derived DC-DC modules for industrial PLCs and embedded controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve converting transformer AC output to regulated DC; operates in continuous conduction mode. Use Value: 1.3V VF and 50ns trr reduce total power loss by ~0.8W vs. slower 1N5408, lowering thermal stress on PCB layout. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path across inductive loads (e.g., solenoid drivers, motor H-bridge flyback) in 24–48V automotive body control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp-induced back-EMF during MOSFET turn-off; conducts only during inductive energy dissipation phase. Use Value: 50A IFSM withstands repeated 30A inductive spikes; 400V VRRM provides 2× margin over 24V system bus. |
| AC-DC Adapter Secondary Rectifier | UPS Battery Charging Circuit |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in compact 5–19V wall adapters for networking equipment and IoT gateways. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-frequency rectifier in quasi-resonant flyback topology operating at 65–130 kHz. Use Value: 35pF CJ limits capacitive coupling noise into feedback loop; DO-15 footprint fits tight 10mm × 10mm board area constraints. | Use Scenario: Reverse-polarity protection and charging path isolation in 36V lead-acid battery backup systems for telecom infrastructure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Blocking diode preventing battery discharge into charger circuit during AC failure; conducts only during charge phase. Use Value: 5µA max IR at 25°C ensures <1µA standby leakage, preserving battery runtime over months of idle storage. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-efficiency rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L06S | VRRM=600V, IF=1A, trr=35ns, VF=1.15V @ 1A - higher voltage rating but lower current and faster recovery. | Suitable where 600V blocking is needed (e.g., universal-input PFC stages), but not for 1.5A continuous loads. | Select STTH1L06S only if VRRM > 400V is mandatory and IF ≤ 1.0A suffices; requires derating for same thermal footprint. |
| ON Semi MUR1540 | VRRM=400V, IF=1.5A, trr=35ns, VF=1.25V @ 1.5A - faster recovery and slightly lower VF, but not halogen-free. | Better for ultra-low-noise 300+ kHz designs; unsuitable where halogen-free compliance is contractually required. | Choose MUR1540 when minimizing EMI in high-frequency SMPS outweighs halogen-free requirements; verify RoHS status per batch. |
Compared with STTH1L06S and MUR1540, HER155G-T offers balanced trade-offs: guaranteed halogen-free construction, 400V/1.5A rating matching common DC-DC outputs, and 50ns trr sufficient for most 100–250 kHz applications-without requiring layout changes or compliance waivers.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for HER155G-T?
The HER155G-T has a VRRM rating of 400 V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version B2105). This value is fixed for the HER155G-T variant and is distinct from other members of the HER15xG-T family (e.g., HER154G-T = 300 V, HER156G-T = 600 V). Exceeding 400 V risks irreversible avalanche breakdown.
Does HER155G-T meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, HER155G-T is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. The "G" suffix denotes green (halogen-free) molding compound, and the device carries UL 94V-0 flammability certification-critical for CE-marked industrial and consumer power supplies.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of HER155G-T at rated current?
The HER155G-T exhibits a typical forward voltage of 1.3 V at IF = 1.5 A and TJ = 25°C, per the Electrical Specifications table. This value increases with junction temperature and current; at 100°C, VF rises to approximately 1.15 V due to negative temperature coefficient behavior of silicon PN junctions.
Is HER155G-T suitable for high-frequency switching applications?
Yes, HER155G-T supports high-frequency operation with a reverse recovery time (trr) of 50 ns under standard test conditions (IF=0.5A, IR=1.0A, Irr=0.25A). Its 35 pF junction capacitance and fast recovery make it appropriate for switching frequencies up to 300 kHz in well-designed SMPS layouts with minimized parasitic inductance.
What package type does HER155G-T use, and how is polarity marked?
HER155G-T uses the DO-204AC (DO-15) axial-leaded package. Polarity is unambiguously indicated by a cathode band printed on the body-aligned with the cathode terminal-and verified in the Marking Diagram section of the datasheet. Lead finish is pure tin, ensuring compatibility with lead-free reflow and wave soldering per J-STD-002.
