Product details
Overview
HER303G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a high-efficiency, single-die ultrafast recovery rectifier in DO-201AD package, rated for 3 A average forward current, 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and 50 ns reverse recovery time (trr). It delivers low forward voltage drop (1.0 V at 3 A, 25°C) and supports DC-DC converters, switching inverters, and freewheeling paths in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the HER303G datasheet, HER303G pinout, HER303G application, or HER303G equivalent, key selection factors include its 200 V VRRM, 125 A surge rating, 10 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, AEC-Q101 qualification option (HER303GH), and DO-201AD mechanical compatibility with standard through-hole reflow and wave soldering processes.
Technical Context
The HER303G employs an epitaxial planar construction optimized for fast soft recovery, minimizing switching losses in high-frequency SMPS topologies. Its 50 ns trr and 60 pF junction capacitance (at 4 V, 1 MHz) enable stable operation up to ~100 kHz without significant ringing or EMI penalties.
Thermally, the device features a 10 °C/W RθJL and operates from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, supporting derated conduction in compact heatsinkless designs where lead-frame conduction dominates over ambient dissipation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines usable input range in 100–170 VAC rectification or 200 V bus clamp applications. |
| IF | 3 A - Continuous average forward current at TC = 75°C; supports 36 W output in 12 V/3 A isolated flyback designs with margin. |
| trr | 50 ns - Measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables efficient operation in 50–100 kHz hard-switched converters. |
| VF | 1.0 V - Forward voltage at IF = 3 A, TJ = 25°C; contributes ≤3 W conduction loss per device at full load. |
| RθJL | 10 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; allows direct PCB copper pour thermal coupling to chassis ground or heatsink tab. |
| IFSM | 125 A - Non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine); withstands inrush into bulk capacitors or motor startup transients. |
Pinout & Package
HER303G is housed in a DO-201AD axial-leaded package with cathode-indicating band. Leads are pure tin-plated, J-STD-002 solderable, and meet JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Forward current entry node | Connected to AC input or switch-node side in freewheeling configuration; requires minimum 1.5 mm creepage clearance at 200 V. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail or ground return; polarity marking ensures correct orientation during manual or automated placement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultrafast recovery (50 ns) | Reduces switching loss and EMI in 50–100 kHz SMPS, enabling smaller output filters vs. standard FR/UF diodes. |
| Low VF (1.0 V @ 3 A) | Lowers conduction loss by ~15% versus comparable 200 V UF300x series, improving efficiency in 12–24 V output stages. |
| DO-201AD mechanical standardization | Enables drop-in replacement of legacy 3 A rectifiers (e.g., 1N540x, UF540x) without footprint redesign. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified variant (HER303GH) | Validated for automotive under-hood environments including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock per AEC stress test plan. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Switching Inverter Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous or diode rectification in isolated 12 V/3 A flyback or forward converter powering industrial PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve conducting during transformer reset phase; reverse recovery timing directly impacts snubber sizing and MOSFET turn-on loss. Use Value: 50 ns trr and 1.0 V VF reduce total loss to <2.5 W, enabling natural convection cooling in sealed enclosures. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path across inductive loads (e.g., solenoid drivers, relay coils) in 24 V DC control systems with PWM switching at 20 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss current recirculation path during MOSFET off-time; fast recovery prevents voltage overshoot exceeding 200 V rail rating. Use Value: 125 A IFSM handles 10× rated coil current surges; 200 V VRRM provides 2× safety margin over 24 V system with inductive kick. |
| AC-DC Input Bridge Leg | UPS Battery Charging Stage |
Use Scenario: Single-leg rectification in split-rail 100–120 VAC input stage feeding PFC pre-regulator in telecom power supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Conducts positive half-cycle; reverse recovery behavior affects EMI filter design and conducted emissions above 150 kHz. Use Value: 60 pF CJ minimizes displacement current injection into EMI filter; 10 °C/W RθJL allows direct mounting to aluminum chassis for thermal management. | Use Scenario: Isolated charging path from 24 V DC bus to 12 V sealed lead-acid battery bank in line-interactive UPS with auto-transfer switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Blocks reverse current from battery during main power operation; conducts only during charger active phase. Use Value: 10 µA max IR at 25°C prevents >1 mA parasitic drain, extending battery float life beyond 6 months without recharge. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L02 | Same 200 V VRRM, 3 A IF, but 35 ns trr; higher VF (1.15 V @ 3 A). | Better suited for >150 kHz ZVS/ZCS topologies where recovery speed dominates loss budget. | Prefer STTH3L02 when operating frequency exceeds 120 kHz or when lower EMI is critical. |
| ON Semi MUR320 | 200 V VRRM, 3 A IF, 60 ns trr; identical VF (1.0 V) and DO-201AD package. | Identical thermal and electrical envelope; validated in legacy industrial designs with long field history. | Choose MUR320 for drop-in qualification reuse in existing UL/CE-certified products requiring no retesting. |
Compared with STTH3L02 and MUR320, HER303G offers balanced performance: faster than MUR320 (50 ns vs. 60 ns) with lower VF than STTH3L02, making it optimal for cost-sensitive 50–100 kHz industrial SMPS where thermal margin and BOM cost are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for HER303G?
The HER303G has a VRRM rating of 200 V, verified per Taiwan Semiconductor's I2105 datasheet Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value defines the highest continuous reverse voltage the device can block without breakdown under normal operating conditions and is strictly limited to the HER303G variant within the HER301G–HER308G family.
Is HER303G RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, HER303G meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as confirmed in the Features section of the official datasheet. The molding compound is UL 94V-0 rated, and terminals use pure tin plating compliant with J-STD-002 solderability standards.
Does HER303G have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base HER303G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the HER303GH variant-identical in all electrical and thermal specifications-is explicitly qualified per AEC-Q101. The "H" suffix denotes qualification, and both parts share the same DO-201AD package and marking code except for the trailing "H".
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of HER303G and how is it measured?
HER303G has a typical trr of 50 ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This value applies to HER301G–HER305G variants and is confirmed by the Characteristics Curves section (Fig.6 test circuit diagram).
Can HER303G replace 1N5408 in a 200 V DC application?
No-1N5408 is rated for 1000 V VRRM but only 3 A IF and has ~2000 ns trr. HER303G offers superior speed (50 ns) and lower VF but insufficient reverse voltage margin for 1000 V use. For 200 V DC systems, HER303G is appropriate; for 1000 V, HER308G (1000 V VRRM) is the correct family member.
