Product details
Overview
HER308G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a high-efficiency, ultra-fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-201AD package, rated for 3A average forward current, 1000V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and 75ns reverse recovery time (trr). It serves as a primary output rectifier in high-frequency switching power supplies for industrial DC–DC converters and AC–DC adapters.
For engineers reviewing the HER308G datasheet, HER308G pinout, HER308G application, or HER308G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.7V max forward voltage at 3A, 125A surge capability, 10°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, AEC-Q101 qualification option (HER308GH), and DO-201AD mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole layouts.
Technical Context
The HER308G employs a single-die epitaxial planar construction optimized for fast soft-recovery behavior, minimizing switching losses in 50–500 kHz SMPS topologies. Its 1000V VRRM rating enables use in PFC stages and offline flyback secondary rectification where high voltage margin is required.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 10°C/W and RθJA = 35°C/W, supporting reliable operation up to TJ = 150°C. Reverse leakage remains ≤10 µA at 25°C and ≤200 µA at 125°C under rated VR, ensuring low standby loss in energy-sensitive designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - Withstands peak reverse voltage in 800 VAC input circuits or 600 VDC bus applications without breakdown. |
| IF | 3 A - Sustains continuous forward conduction in medium-power SMPS outputs (e.g., 12–48 V @ 25–100 W). |
| trr | 75 ns - Enables efficient operation in high-frequency converters (>200 kHz) with reduced switching loss and EMI. |
| VF (max) | 1.7 V @ 3 A, 25°C - Limits conduction loss to ≤5.1 W per device, critical for thermal management in compact enclosures. |
| IFSM | 125 A - Survives cold-start surges and transient overloads common in industrial power-up sequences. |
| RθJL | 10 °C/W - Allows direct heatsinking via PCB copper pour or clip-mounting to maintain junction temperature below 150°C at full load. |
Pinout & Package
DO-201AD axial-leaded package with cathode band marking; leads are pure tin-plated, J-STD-002 solderable, and meet JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., transformer secondary center-tap or switch node in synchronous rectification). |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail; polarity marking ensures correct orientation during manual or automated placement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast recovery (trr ≤ 75 ns) | Reduces switching loss and ringing in high-frequency converters, improving efficiency by 0.5–1.2% vs. standard FRDs. |
| Low VF (1.7 V max @ 3 A) | Minimizes I²R conduction loss, enabling smaller heatsinks or higher ambient operating temperatures. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified variant available (HER308GH) | Validated for automotive under-hood applications including engine control modules and ADAS power supplies. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS compliant | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU for environmentally regulated electronics manufacturing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-HER308 | Identical VRRM (1000 V), IF (3 A), trr (75 ns), and DO-201AD package; VF slightly higher at 1.75 V max. | No AEC-Q101 variant offered; limited automotive qualification support. | Select for cost-sensitive industrial designs where AEC-Q101 is not required. |
| ON Semiconductor MUR3080CT | Dual common-cathode configuration (2×3 A), 800 V VRRM, 60 ns trr; TO-220AC package, not DO-201AD compatible. | Requires PCB redesign; suited for dual-output or interleaved converters, not single-diode replacement. | Choose only when dual-diode functionality or lower trr justifies layout change and thermal derating. |
Compared with VS-HER308, HER308G offers tighter VF tolerance and AEC-Q101 availability; versus MUR3080CT, it provides drop-in DO-201AD compatibility but trades off dual-diode integration and sub-60 ns recovery.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HER308G?
The HER308G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version I2105). This allows operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial enclosures or under-hood automotive locations when properly heatsinked. Derating curves confirm usable current down to zero at 150°C case temperature.
Is HER308G pin-compatible with other HER30xG series diodes?
Yes, all HER301G through HER308G share identical DO-201AD package dimensions, lead spacing, and cathode-band polarity marking-making them mechanically interchangeable on the same footprint. However, electrical parameters differ significantly: HER308G is rated for 1000 V VRRM, while HER301G is only 50 V; substituting without circuit review risks catastrophic failure.
Does HER308G meet automotive qualification standards?
The base HER308G is not AEC-Q101 qualified, but Taiwan Semiconductor offers the HER308GH variant-identical electrically and mechanically-with full AEC-Q101 stress test compliance for temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock. HER308GH is recommended for automotive power supply designs requiring qualification evidence.
What is the typical reverse recovery time (trr) of HER308G and how is it measured?
The HER308G has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 75 ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A per the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This value reflects soft-recovery behavior critical for reducing EMI and switching loss in high-frequency SMPS, and is validated using standardized double-pulse test circuits per JEDEC guidelines.
How does the forward voltage (VF) of HER308G vary with temperature and current?
HER308G exhibits a positive temperature coefficient for VF: at 3 A, VF is typically 1.5 V at 25°C and rises to ~1.65 V at 125°C. The datasheet specifies a maximum of 1.7 V at 25°C, with no upper limit given at elevated temperatures-designers must apply thermal derating and verify worst-case conduction loss using the provided forward characteristics curve (Fig.4) in the HER301G–HER308G datasheet.
