Product details
Overview
HER305GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a high-efficiency, AEC-Q101-qualified ultrafast recovery rectifier diode in DO-201AD package, rated for 3 A average forward current, 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and 1.3 V forward voltage at 3 A and 25°C - used in automotive DC-DC converters and switching inverters requiring low conduction loss and fast turn-off.
For engineers reviewing the HER305GH datasheet, HER305GH pinout, HER305GH application, or HER305GH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V VRRM, 50 ns reverse recovery time, 125 A surge capability, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and DO-201AD thermal performance (RθJL = 10 °C/W).
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, planar-passivated silicon rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications. Its ultrafast recovery (trr = 50 ns) and low junction capacitance (CJ = 60 pF at 4 V) minimize switching losses in SMPS topologies operating above 50 kHz.
The HER305GH operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range with 10 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, enabling reliable operation under sustained 3 A load in constrained thermal environments without forced cooling.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S | Same DO-201AD package, 600 V VRRM, but trr = 35 ns and VF = 1.7 V @ 3 A | Higher switching speed but higher conduction loss; better for >300 kHz, worse for thermally constrained layouts | Prefer HER305GH when thermal budget is tighter than switching loss budget |
| ON Semi MUR3060 | 600 V, 3 A, trr = 60 ns, VF = 1.25 V, not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial only | Select HER305GH for automotive-grade designs requiring certified reliability |
Compared with STTH3L06S and MUR3060, the HER305GH offers balanced trade-off between 50 ns recovery speed and 1.3 V forward drop, while its AEC-Q101 qualification and 10 °C/W thermal resistance make it uniquely suited for space- and thermal-constrained automotive power modules.

FAQ
What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating for HER305GH?
The HER305GH has a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 600 V, verified per Taiwan Semiconductor's I2105 datasheet revision. This rating defines the maximum allowable reverse-biased voltage the device can block repeatedly without breakdown, making it suitable for 400 V DC bus applications with standard safety margins. The HER305GH maintains this rating across its full operating temperature range of –55°C to +150°C.
Is HER305GH qualified to AEC-Q101 standards?
Yes, the "H" suffix in HER305GH explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification per Taiwan Semiconductor's ordering information table. This includes full stress testing for temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing. HER305GH is approved for use in automotive powertrain and body electronics where reliability under harsh environmental conditions is mandatory.
What is the forward voltage drop of HER305GH at rated current?
The HER305GH exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 1.3 V at 3 A forward current and 25°C junction temperature, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This value increases to approximately 1.45 V at 125°C, reflecting the positive temperature coefficient of silicon PN junctions. The low VF directly contributes to reduced conduction losses in high-current DC-DC stages.
What package type does HER305GH use, and what are its thermal characteristics?
HER305GH uses the DO-201AD axial-leaded package with pure tin-plated leads. Its thermal performance includes a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 10 °C/W and junction-to-ambient (RθJA) of 35 °C/W. These values enable effective heat transfer through the leads to PCB copper, supporting continuous 3 A operation without additional heatsinking in well-designed layouts.
How does the reverse recovery time of HER305GH compare to other HER30xG variants?
The HER305GH has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 50 ns, matching HER301G–HER304G but faster than HER306G–HER308G (75 ns). This distinction arises from process tuning for mid-voltage devices: lower VRRM variants (≤400 V) and HER305GH prioritize speed, while ≥600 V versions trade some speed for higher voltage blocking capability. All values are measured under identical conditions (IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A).
