Product details
Overview
HER3L05GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 400V high-efficiency fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-201AD package, featuring low forward voltage (0.91 V typ. @ 3A, 25°C), negligible leakage current (5 µA max @ 25°C), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability. It serves as the primary output rectifier in DC-DC converters and freewheeling diode in switching inverters.
For engineers reviewing the HER3L05GH datasheet, HER3L05GH pinout, HER3L05GH application, or HER3L05GH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400V VRRM, 125A IFSM, 19°C/W RθJL, 50 ns trr, and AEC-Q101 qualification - all critical for high-reliability power conversion designs requiring thermal robustness and fast switching.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, silicon planar junction fast recovery rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications. Its 50 ns reverse recovery time and low junction capacitance (54 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V) minimize switching losses in SMPS topologies operating above 50 kHz.
The DO-201AD package enables efficient heat transfer via lead conduction (RθJL = 19°C/W), while the pure tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements - essential for automotive under-hood environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in 380–400 V DC bus applications |
| IF | 3 A - Continuous average forward current at TL = 75°C; supports sustained 36 W conduction loss in typical PCB layouts |
| IFSM | 125 A - Non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine); withstands inrush and fault transients in motor drives |
| VF | 0.91 V typ. @ 3 A, 25°C - Low conduction loss reduces thermal stress and improves system efficiency vs. standard rectifiers |
| trr | 50 ns max - Fast recovery minimizes switching loss and EMI generation in 100–500 kHz SMPS designs |
| RθJL | 19 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables direct PCB copper pad cooling without heatsink in ≤5 W dissipation |
| IR | 5 µA max @ 400 V, 25°C - Ultra-low leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance hold-up circuits |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-efficiency rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L04S | Same 3 A / 400 V rating; 55 ns trr; no AEC-Q101 qualification; TO-220AC package | Requires heatsink mounting; not approved for automotive powertrain use | Prefer HER3L05GH where space-constrained DO-201AD layout and automotive qualification are mandatory |
| ON Semi MUR340 | 3 A / 400 V; 60 ns trr; VF = 0.95 V typ.; RoHS but not AEC-Q101 | Higher conduction loss; lacks automotive stress validation | Acceptable for industrial SMPS where qualification and 50 ns speed are non-critical |
Compared with STTH3L04S and MUR340, HER3L05GH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 50 ns recovery, and DO-201AD form factor - enabling drop-in replacement in automotive DC-DC modules without layout or thermal redesign.

FAQ
What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating of HER3L05GH?
The HER3L05GH has a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 400 V. This value is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version C2105) and defines the maximum reverse-biased voltage the device can block repeatedly without breakdown. It ensures safe operation in 380 V DC bus and 280 V RMS AC applications with appropriate derating.
Is HER3L05GH qualified to AEC-Q101 standards?
Yes, HER3L05GH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "H" suffix in its ordering code and the "AEC-Q101 qualified available" feature listed in the official datasheet. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - making HER3L05GH suitable for automotive powertrain and chassis applications.
What is the forward voltage drop of HER3L05GH at 3 A and 25°C?
The forward voltage drop (VF) of HER3L05GH is 0.91 V (typical) and 1.32 V (maximum) at IF = 3 A and TJ = 25°C, per the Electrical Specifications table. This low VF directly reduces conduction losses in high-current paths, contributing to higher overall system efficiency compared to standard recovery rectifiers.
Does HER3L05GH have a specified reverse recovery time?
Yes, HER3L05GH has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 50 ns, measured under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A conditions. This parameter is documented in the Electrical Specifications section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet and confirms its suitability for high-frequency switching applications such as PFC and resonant converters.
What package type does HER3L05GH use, and what are its key mechanical features?
HER3L05GH uses the DO-201AD axial-leaded package. Key mechanical features include pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability, UL 94V-0 rated molding compound, polarity indicated by cathode band, and compliance with JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing. Its 1.10 g weight and thermal performance (RθJL = 19°C/W) support reliable PCB-level thermal management.
