Product details
Overview
HER303G-K from Taiwan Semiconductor is a high-efficiency, single-die, ultra-fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-201AD package, rated for 3 A average forward current, 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and 125 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM). It delivers 1.0 V typical forward voltage at 3 A and 25°C, with 50 ns reverse recovery time, suited for switching-mode power supplies and freewheeling paths in DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the HER303G-K datasheet, HER303G-K pinout, HER303G-K application, or HER303G-K equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 200 V, VF ≤ 1.0 V @ 3 A, trr = 50 ns, RθJA = 35 °C/W, and DO-201AD mechanical compatibility in high-frequency, medium-power rectification designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional, silicon planar junction rectifier optimized for fast switching performance. Its 50 ns reverse recovery time and low junction capacitance (60 pF @ 4 V) minimize switching losses in high-frequency converters up to several hundred kHz.
The DO-201AD package provides robust thermal performance (RθJL = 10 °C/W) and meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, with pure tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in flyback/freewheeling circuits |
| IF(AV) | 3 A - Continuous average forward current; determines heatsink sizing and conduction loss budget |
| VF @ 3 A | 1.0 V typ - Forward voltage drop at rated current; directly impacts conduction loss (Pcond ≈ IF × VF) |
| trr | 50 ns - Reverse recovery time; limits maximum switching frequency and reduces turn-off switching loss |
| IFSM | 125 A - Non-repetitive surge current capability; supports inrush and transient overload tolerance |
| RθJA | 35 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; used to calculate temperature rise under given power dissipation |
| CJ @ 4 V | 60 pF - Junction capacitance at 4 V reverse bias; affects high-frequency noise coupling and snubber design |
Pinout & Package
DO-201AD axial-leaded package with cathode band marking; two-terminal configuration (Anode and Cathode); lead finish: pure tin, J-STD-002 compliant; weight ≈ 1.10 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side of load or switch node in freewheeling path |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point; marked by band | Connected to higher-potential rail (e.g., output capacitor positive or switch drain) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast recovery | trr = 50 ns enables operation in 100–500 kHz SMPS without excessive switching loss |
| Low forward voltage | VF ≤ 1.0 V @ 3 A reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. standard rectifiers at same current |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-efficiency rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L02S | VRRM = 200 V, VF = 0.95 V @ 3 A, trr = 35 ns, SOD-123FL package | Surface-mount, lower profile; requires reflow-compatible layout and lacks axial lead mechanical retention | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs where automated assembly and footprint reduction outweigh axial-mount advantages |
| VS-3EYH02-M3/54 | VRRM = 200 V, VF = 1.05 V @ 3 A, trr = 55 ns, DO-201AD package | Identical package and polarity marking; slightly higher VF and longer trr than HER303G-K | Drop-in replacement where minor efficiency trade-off is acceptable and second-source qualification is required |
Compared with STTH3L02S and VS-3EYH02-M3/54, the HER303G-K offers optimal balance of axial-mount robustness, 50 ns trr, and 1.0 V VF in DO-201AD-making it preferred for industrial power supplies requiring field-serviceable through-hole assembly and thermal margin.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for HER303G-K?
The HER303G-K has a VRRM rating of 200 V, meaning it can reliably block up to 200 V of reverse voltage in repetitive operation without breakdown. This value is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and is critical for selecting appropriate derating margins in flyback or forward converter designs where voltage spikes may exceed nominal output levels.
What is the forward voltage drop of HER303G-K at 3 A and 25°C?
The HER303G-K exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 1.0 V at 3 A and 25°C junction temperature, as confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and represents the conduction loss baseline used to calculate thermal rise and efficiency in continuous-duty applications.
Does HER303G-K have a defined reverse recovery time (trr)?
Yes, the HER303G-K has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 50 ns, tested at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This ultra-fast recovery characteristic is essential for minimizing switching losses in high-frequency DC-DC converters and ensures compatibility with PWM controllers operating above 100 kHz.
Is HER303G-K RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the HER303G-K is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The "G" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes green compound molding, and the device uses pure tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability requirements-ensuring environmental compliance and process compatibility for lead-free reflow and wave soldering.
What package type does HER303G-K use, and what are its key mechanical attributes?
The HER303G-K uses the DO-201AD axial-leaded package, featuring UL 94V-0 rated molding compound, cathode band polarity marking, and pure tin-plated leads. Its weight is approximately 1.10 g, and it passes JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing-making it suitable for high-reliability, vibration-prone industrial environments.
