Product details
Overview
HER301G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a high-efficiency, AEC-Q101-qualified ultrafast recovery rectifier diode in DO-201AD package, rated for 3A average forward current, 50V repetitive peak reverse voltage, and 125A surge current. It delivers low forward voltage (1.0V at 3A, 25°C), 50ns reverse recovery time, and operates up to 150°C junction temperature - ideal for automotive DC-DC converters requiring robust freewheeling performance.
For engineers reviewing the HER301G datasheet, HER301G pinout, HER301G application, or HER301G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50V VRRM, 1.0V VF at rated current, 50ns trr, DO-201AD mechanical compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade reliability validation.
Technical Context
This single-die, planar epitaxial ultrafast rectifier uses optimized carrier lifetime control to achieve 50ns reverse recovery time at IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, Irr = 0.25A - significantly faster than standard fast recovery diodes. Its 10°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance supports high-power-density layouts in constrained thermal environments.
The device features pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, UL 94V-0 molding compound, and cathode band polarity marking. It is not a Schottky or Zener diode; it is a PN-junction silicon rectifier optimized for switching-mode power supply freewheeling and output rectification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in flyback/freewheeling circuits |
| IF | 3 A - Continuous average forward current at TC = 75°C; determines heatsink sizing in DC-DC output stages |
| IFSM | 125 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current (8.3ms half-sine); withstands startup/load-dump transients |
| VF | 1.0 V @ 3A, 25°C - Low conduction loss directly reduces power dissipation and improves system efficiency |
| trr | 50 ns - Ultrafast recovery minimizes switching losses and EMI in 100–500 kHz SMPS designs |
| RθJL | 10 °C/W - Enables direct PCB copper pour thermal coupling to reduce junction temperature rise under load |
| Junction Temp | −55°C to +150°C - Supports operation in under-hood automotive environments without derating |
Pinout & Package
DO-201AD axial-leaded package with cathode indicated by a colored band; leads are pure tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002. Device weight ≈1.10g. No internal terminals - two-terminal device: Anode and Cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to positive side of input source or switch node in freewheeling path |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked with band; connects to output rail or inductor return; blocks reverse voltage up to 50V |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S | 600V VRRM, 3A IF, 65ns trr, TO-220AC package | Higher voltage rating but slower recovery and larger footprint; requires heatsink mounting | Select only if >50V blocking or higher surge immunity is required; not drop-in for DO-201AD board space |
| ON Semi MUR305E | 50V VRRM, 3A IF, 55ns trr, DO-201AD package, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Same mechanical fit and voltage rating, but lacks automotive qualification and has slightly slower recovery | Acceptable for industrial/non-automotive use where AEC-Q101 is not mandated; verify trr tolerance in final layout |
Compared with STTH3L06S and MUR305E, HER301G uniquely combines 50V rating, 50ns recovery, DO-201AD form factor, and AEC-Q101 qualification - making it the only option meeting all three requirements simultaneously for space-constrained automotive power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HER301G?
The HER301G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, with operational capability from −55°C to +150°C. This allows deployment in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings without thermal derating below rated current, provided RθJL = 10°C/W thermal path is maintained to the PCB.
Is HER301G pin-compatible with other HER30xG series diodes?
Yes - all HER301G through HER308G share identical DO-201AD package dimensions, lead spacing, and polarity marking. However, VRRM and trr vary across the series; HER301G (50V, 50ns) is not electrically interchangeable with HER306G (600V, 75ns) without circuit revalidation.
Does HER301G meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes - HER301G is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and leads are pure tin-plated per J-STD-002, supporting lead-free reflow and wave soldering processes.
What is the reverse recovery time test condition for HER301G?
The specified 50ns reverse recovery time (trr) for HER301G is measured under conditions: IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, Irr = 0.25A, with 1.0MHz test signal and VR = 4.0V for capacitance measurement. These are standardized JEDEC conditions for ultrafast rectifiers.
Can HER301G be used as a direct replacement for 1N5401 in automotive applications?
No - while both are DO-201AD rectifiers, 1N5401 is a general-purpose 100V/3A diode with ~2000ns trr and no AEC-Q101 qualification. HER301G offers 50V rating, 50ns trr, and automotive qualification, making it unsuitable as a drop-in replacement unless circuit timing and reliability requirements are fully reassessed.
