Product details
Overview
HER305-T from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0A high-efficiency axial-lead rectifier diode with 400V maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.1V forward voltage at 3.0A, and 50ns reverse recovery time - designed for AC/DC input stage rectification in offline power supplies and switch-mode adapters.
For engineers reviewing the HER305-T datasheet, HER305-T pinout, HER305-T application, or HER305-T equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM rating margin for 230VAC mains surge tolerance, low VF for thermal management in compact adapters, TRR suitability for high-frequency flyback operation, and DO-201AD package compatibility with wave-soldered PFC front-ends.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-phase, half-wave silicon rectifier optimized for 50/60Hz and higher-frequency switching applications up to ~100kHz. Its 50ns reverse recovery time enables reduced switching losses compared to standard recovery diodes, while the 125A non-repetitive surge rating supports inrush current handling during cold-start conditions.
The DO-201AD package provides mechanical robustness and thermal path via 9.5mm lead length, supporting 3.0A average forward current at 50°C ambient. Junction capacitance of 70pF at 4V reverse bias minimizes capacitive coupling in EMI-sensitive input filters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Withstands peak line voltage + safety margin for 230VAC systems with 1.5× surge allowance |
| IF(AV) | 3.0 A @ TA = 50°C - Sustains continuous output current in 15–25W offline SMPS designs |
| VF | 1.1 V @ IF = 3.0 A DC - Delivers <3.3W conduction loss at full load, easing thermal design |
| TRR | 50 ns - Enables efficient operation in 65–100kHz flyback converters without excessive ringing |
| IR | 10 µA @ 400 V, 25°C - Ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance hold-up circuits |
| CJ | 70 pF @ 4 V, 1 MHz - Limits displacement current in EMI filter Y-cap networks |
Pinout & Package
DO-201AD molded plastic package with axial plated leads; cathode identified by color band. Approximate weight: 1.2 g. UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | AC input connection point | Accepts incoming phase or neutral leg prior to rectification; requires creepage clearance ≥3.2 mm |
| Cathode | DC output connection point | Feeds bulk capacitor or PFC stage; polarity marking ensures correct orientation on PCB |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed recovery | 50 ns TRR enables clean commutation in 65–100 kHz SMPS without snubber dependency |
| Low forward voltage | 1.1 V drop at 3.0 A reduces conduction loss by ~25% vs. standard 1N5408 in same footprint |
| High surge capability | 125 A peak surge withstands 10-cycle 230VAC cold-start inrush without degradation |
| Low leakage | 10 µA IR at 400 V ensures stable DC bus hold-up over temperature and time |
Applications
| AC/DC Adapter Input Stage | Industrial Control Power Supply |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 230VAC mains input in 18–24W wall adapters with passive PFC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side unidirectional current valve converting AC to pulsating DC before bulk capacitor. Use Value: 400V VRRM provides 1.7× margin over 230VAC peak (325V), preventing avalanche failure during brownouts. | Use Scenario: Front-end rectification in DIN-rail mounted 24V/3A PLC power modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability AC input bridge leg (used x4 per full-wave configuration). Use Value: 150 µA IR at 55°C case temperature maintains regulation stability across -25°C to +70°C operating range. |
| LED Driver Auxiliary Supply | UPS Battery Charger Input |
Use Scenario: Generating low-power auxiliary rail for controller ICs in isolated LED drivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-wave rectifier feeding linear regulator or buck converter startup circuitry. Use Value: 70pF junction capacitance avoids noise coupling into sensitive analog feedback paths. | Use Scenario: Input rectification in 48V/5A battery charger with active inrush limiting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Surge-tolerant rectifier handling repeated 125A inrush events during AC reconnection. Use Value: 125A peak surge rating exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1kV/42Ω) transient requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-efficiency rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UF3005-T | Same DO-201AD package; 50ns TRR retained but VF reduced to 1.0V @ 3A; VRRM unchanged at 400V | Lower conduction loss improves efficiency in thermally constrained adapters | Select UF3005-T when >0.5% efficiency gain or <5°C junction temp reduction is required |
| ES3D-E3/57T | TO-220AC package; 200V VRRM; 3A IF(AV); 35ns TRR; VF = 0.95V @ 3A | Requires heatsink mounting; suited for higher-current, lower-voltage industrial supplies | Choose ES3D only if system operates ≤120VAC and demands sub-40ns recovery with forced-air cooling |
Compared with HER305-T, UF3005-T offers identical speed and voltage rating with improved conduction efficiency, while ES3D-E3/57T trades off voltage headroom and package form factor for faster recovery and lower VF - making it unsuitable as a drop-in replacement but viable in redesigned low-VRRM systems.

FAQ
Is HER305-T suitable for use in a 100kHz flyback converter?
Yes - its 50ns reverse recovery time and 70pF junction capacitance allow stable operation up to 100kHz without significant switching loss or voltage overshoot. Measured TRR under 0.5A/1.0A test conditions confirms consistent behavior in high-frequency hard-switching topologies.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous 3.0A operation?
HER305-T sustains 3.0A average forward current only at TC ≤ 55°C, as specified in the full-load reverse current rating. At higher case temperatures, derating is required per Figure 1 - e.g., 2.2A at TC = 80°C and 1.5A at TC = 100°C.
Can HER305-T replace HER304-T in an existing design?
Yes - both share identical DO-201AD package, pinout, and thermal characteristics; HER305-T offers 100V higher VRRM (400V vs. 300V) with no trade-off in VF, TRR, or surge rating, providing increased safety margin for 230VAC applications.
Why is HER305-T marked as "Not Recommended for New Designs"?
Diodes Incorporated recommends UF3005-T as a direct functional upgrade: same package and ratings, but with 1.0V VF (vs. 1.1V), improved efficiency, and active production status. HER305-T remains available for legacy repair and continuity, but lacks long-term roadmap support.
