Product details
Overview
HER303-T from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0A high-efficiency axial-lead rectifier diode with 200V maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.1V forward voltage drop at 3.0A DC, and 50ns reverse recovery time-designed for AC/DC input stage rectification in offline power supplies and industrial SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the HER303-T datasheet, HER303-T pinout, HER303-T application, or HER303-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 125A non-repetitive surge rating, low 10µA reverse leakage at 25°C, DO-201AD package thermal performance, and compatibility with 60Hz half-wave resistive/inductive loads.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-phase, half-wave silicon rectifier optimized for high-speed switching and low conduction loss. Its 50ns reverse recovery time (TRR) and 70pF junction capacitance at 4V reverse bias support efficient operation in 20–100kHz switch-mode power conversion stages.
The DO-201AD package provides mechanical robustness with solderable axial leads compliant to MIL-STD-202 Method 208, enabling reliable through-hole mounting in high-vibration environments. Thermal derating begins at 50°C ambient, maintaining 3.0A average forward current up to that point.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown in AC line applications. |
| I(AV) | 3.0 A - Average forward rectified current at 50°C ambient with 9.5mm lead length, defining continuous power handling. |
| VF @ 3.0A | 1.1 V - Forward voltage drop determining conduction loss and thermal rise in rectifier bridges or input stages. |
| TRR | 50 ns - Reverse recovery time affecting switching losses and EMI in high-frequency SMPS designs. |
| IR @ 25°C | 10 µA - DC reverse leakage current at rated blocking voltage, critical for low-power standby efficiency. |
| CJ @ 4V | 70 pF - Junction capacitance influencing high-frequency impedance and snubber design in flyback converters. |
Pinout & Package
HER303-T uses the DO-201AD axial-lead plastic package with cathode indicated by a color band on the body. Leads are plated for solderability per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Forward current entry node | Connected to AC source or transformer secondary during positive half-cycle conduction. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit node | Routes rectified DC to bulk capacitor or downstream converter; polarity marking prevents reverse installation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High surge current rating | 125A peak (8.3ms half-sine) enables robust startup and fault tolerance in unregulated AC inputs. |
| Low forward voltage drop | 1.1V at 3.0A reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. standard 1N540x series, improving thermal margin. |
| Fast reverse recovery | 50ns TRR minimizes switching loss and ringing in 50–100kHz flyback and forward converters. |
| UL 94V-0 flammability | Plastic encapsulation meets safety standards for enclosed industrial power supply housings. |
Applications
| AC/DC Adapter Input Rectification | Industrial SMPS Front-End |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-efficiency rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UF3003-T | 200V VRRM, 50ns TRR, but lower VF (0.95V @ 3.0A); DO-201AD package. | Higher efficiency in continuous conduction mode; preferred where thermal headroom is constrained. | Select UF3003-T for new designs requiring lower conduction loss and faster soft recovery. |
| HER203G | 200V VRRM, 3.0A I(AV), but slower TRR (75ns); TO-220AC package with tab heat sinking. | Higher thermal dissipation capability; suited for forced-air-cooled 500W+ systems. | Choose HER203G when board-level airflow or heatsinking supports higher power density. |
Compared with HER303-T, UF3003-T offers lower forward loss and improved EMI behavior due to softer recovery, while HER203G trades speed for superior thermal management in high-power chassis-mounted supplies.

FAQ
Is HER303-T RoHS compliant?
Yes, HER303-T is RoHS compliant and lead-free per Diodes Incorporated's product change notice PCN-2018-001. The device meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements, including exemption 7a for lead in high-melting-temperature type solders used in axial-lead termination plating.
What is the maximum operating temperature for HER303-T?
The HER303-T has a junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C and storage temperature range matching. Continuous operation at full 3.0A load requires ambient ≤50°C with 9.5mm lead length; derating to 1.5A occurs at 100°C ambient per Figure 1 in DS25003 Rev. 7.
Can HER303-T replace 1N5403 in existing designs?
Yes-HER303-T is a direct functional upgrade to 1N5403: same DO-201AD package, 200V VRRM, and 3.0A I(AV), but with 50ns TRR (vs. 2000ns), 1.1V VF (vs. 1.2V), and 125A IFM (vs. 200A). No layout changes needed; improves efficiency and EMI.
Why is HER303-T marked "Not Recommended for New Designs"?
Diodes Incorporated discontinued HER303-T for new designs per DS25003 Rev. 7, recommending UF3003-T instead due to its lower VF (0.95V), softer recovery, and enhanced reliability. HER303-T remains supported for legacy repair and production continuity with no announced last-time-buy date.
