Product details
Overview
HER1607G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a high-efficiency, AEC-Q101-qualified ultrafast recovery rectifier diode in TO-220AB package, rated for 800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 16 A average forward current (IF), and 125 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM), used in automotive-grade DC-DC converters and switching inverters.
For engineers reviewing the HER1607G datasheet, HER1607G pinout, HER1607G application, or HER1607G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 800 V VRRM rating, 1.7 V max forward voltage at 8 A/25°C, 80 ns reverse recovery time, dual-die configuration, and TO-220AB mechanical compatibility with heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
The HER1607G integrates two independent ultrafast recovery diode dies in a single TO-220AB package, enabling dual-channel freewheeling or bridge-leg configurations without external paralleling. Its 80 ns trr and low 1.7 V VF support high-frequency switching up to 100 kHz in hard-switched topologies.
Thermal performance is defined by a 1.5 °C/W junction-to-case resistance, enabling reliable operation at TJ = 150 °C under forced-air or heatsink-cooled conditions. The device meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and RoHS/halogen-free compliance per IEC 61249-2-21.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - supports 400 VDC bus designs with 2× safety margin against transients |
| IF | 16 A - continuous conduction capability at TA = 75°C with standard heatsinking |
| IFSM | 125 A - withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surges common in motor drive startup |
| trr | 80 ns - enables efficient operation in 50–100 kHz SMPS without excessive switching loss |
| VF (max) | 1.7 V @ 8 A, 25°C - reduces conduction loss vs. standard FRDs in high-current paths |
| CJ | 50 pF - limits capacitive turn-on loss and EMI generation in fast-edge circuits |
| RθJC | 1.5 °C/W - allows ~10 W power dissipation with 15°C temperature rise across case interface |
Pinout & Package
HER1607G uses the industry-standard TO-220AB package with three terminals: Anode 1, Cathode (common), and Anode 2 - configured as a dual-anode, single-cathode ultrafast rectifier. Mounting hole accepts M3 screw with ≤0.56 N·m torque.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Lead 1 (Tab) | Cathode | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be isolated from heatsink unless referenced to system ground |
| Lead 2 | Anode 1 | First diode anode; used for independent channel routing or half-bridge leg |
| Lead 3 | Anode 2 | Second diode anode; enables dual-path freewheeling or symmetrical bridge configuration |
Key Features

|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive powertrain and chassis applications requiring stress-tested reliability |
| Ultrafast recovery (80 ns) | Minimizes reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and associated switching losses in high-frequency converters |
| Dual-die TO-220AB construction | Provides two independent 800 V/16 A rectifiers in one footprint-reducing board area vs. discrete solutions |
| Low VF (1.7 V max) | Lowers conduction loss by ~15% compared to standard FRDs at 8 A, improving thermal headroom |
| Halogen-free & RoHS compliant | Meets IPC/JEDEC environmental standards for industrial and automotive end-equipment compliance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-16EWH08-M3 | Same TO-220AB package, 800 V VRRM, 16 A IF, but 75 ns trr and 1.65 V VF (typ); not AEC-Q101 qualified | Preferred for cost-sensitive industrial PSUs where automotive qualification is unnecessary | Select when lower trr and VF typ values outweigh AEC-Q101 requirement |
| ON Semiconductor MUR1680CTG | TO-220AB dual-diode, 800 V VRRM, 16 A IF, but 100 ns trr and 1.85 V VF (max); AEC-Q101 not claimed | Suitable for legacy designs requiring second-source availability with relaxed recovery timing | Choose when existing layout uses MUR1680CTG and minor trr/VF trade-off is acceptable |
Compared with VS-16EWH08-M3 and MUR1680CTG, the HER1607G uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 80 ns trr, and 1.7 V VF max in a dual-anode TO-220AB - making it the only option qualified for automotive power conversion where transient robustness and switching efficiency are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HER1607G?
The HER1607G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150 °C, validated across its full operating range from –55 °C to +150 °C. This rating is maintained under specified thermal conditions including RθJC = 1.5 °C/W and proper heatsink mounting. HER1607G must not exceed this limit during steady-state or transient operation to ensure reliability and AEC-Q101 compliance.
Is HER1607G pin-compatible with other devices in the HER160xG family?
Yes, all HER160xG devices-including HER1607G-share identical TO-220AB packaging, pinout (Anode 1 / Cathode / Anode 2), and mechanical dimensions. Voltage ratings differ across the family (50 V to 1000 V), but PCB layout, mounting, and thermal interface design remain fully interchangeable for HER1607G and other members.
Does HER1607G support automotive applications?
Yes, HER1607G is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity bias, high-temperature operating life, and mechanical shock required for automotive power electronics. HER1607G is approved for use in engine control units, ADAS power modules, and 48 V mild-hybrid DC-DC converters.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for HER1607G?
The HER1607G has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 80 ns, measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This value is confirmed across the full temperature range and defines the device's suitability for high-frequency switching applications such as 60–100 kHz DC-DC converters where fast turn-off minimizes switching loss and EMI.
How does the dual-die structure of HER1607G benefit circuit design?
The dual-die structure of HER1607G integrates two independent 800 V/16 A ultrafast diodes in one TO-220AB package, enabling space-efficient implementation of freewheeling paths, center-tapped rectifiers, or half-bridge legs. This eliminates interconnect inductance between discrete devices and simplifies thermal management-both critical advantages in HER1607G-based automotive and industrial power designs.
