Product details
Overview
HER305G A0G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a high-efficiency, ultra-fast recovery silicon rectifier diode in DO-201AD package, rated for 3 A average forward current, 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and 1.3 V typical forward voltage at 3 A and 25°C. It delivers low power loss in DC-DC converters and switching-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the HER305G A0G datasheet, HER305G A0G pinout, HER305G A0G application, or HER305G A0G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50 ns reverse recovery time, 60 pF junction capacitance at 4.0 V, 125 A surge capability, 150°C max junction temperature, and AEC-Q101 qualification option (HER305GH).
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, planar-passivated, ultra-fast recovery rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications. Its 50 ns trr and low Qrr minimize switching losses in SMPS flyback and forward topologies.
The DO-201AD package provides robust thermal performance with RθJL = 10°C/W and RθJA = 35°C/W, enabling reliable operation up to 150°C junction temperature under continuous 3 A conduction with proper heatsinking.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L04 | 400 V VRRM, 3 A IF, 50 ns trr, but VF = 1.45 V @ 3 A (0.15 V higher) | Slightly higher conduction loss; same DO-201AD footprint | Prefer HER305G A0G when <1.35 V VF is required for thermal budget |
| ON Semi MUR3040 | 400 V VRRM, 3 A IF, 60 ns trr, VF = 1.25 V @ 3 A, but only available in TO-220AC | Requires PCB layout change; better thermal RθJA but larger footprint | Select HER305G A0G for space-constrained through-hole designs needing 50 ns speed |
Compared with STTH3L04 and MUR3040, HER305G A0G offers the optimal balance of 50 ns recovery, 1.3 V forward drop, and DO-201AD compatibility-enabling direct replacement in legacy layouts without thermal or timing compromise.
