Product details
Overview
HERA802G from Taiwan Semiconductor is an AEC-Q101-qualified, glass-passivated, single-die ultrafast recovery rectifier in TO-220AC package, rated for 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 8 A average forward current (IF), and 150 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM). It delivers low 1.0 V forward voltage at 8 A and 25°C, enabling high-efficiency operation in DC-DC converters and freewheeling paths.
For engineers reviewing the HERA802G datasheet, HERA802G pinout, HERA802G application, or HERA802G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V VRRM, 50 ns reverse recovery time (trr), 65 pF junction capacitance, 2 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and TO-220AC mechanical compatibility with standard heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
The HERA802G is a single-die, ultrafast recovery silicon rectifier optimized for switching-mode power supplies. Its 50 ns trr and low Qrr minimize switching losses during commutation, while the glass-passivated junction ensures robustness against moisture and contamination.
Designed for unidirectional conduction in hard-switched topologies, it operates with a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and supports continuous IF = 8 A at case temperatures up to 95°C per derating curve. The device exhibits 10 µA max reverse leakage at 25°C and 400 µA at 125°C under rated VR.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines usable input voltage range in flyback or boost stages |
| IF | 8 A - Continuous average forward current at TC = 75°C; determines heatsink sizing for steady-state conduction loss |
| trr | 50 ns - Ultrafast reverse recovery time; reduces turn-off switching loss and EMI in 100–500 kHz SMPS |
| VF | 1.0 V @ 8 A, 25°C - Low forward drop improves efficiency and reduces thermal load in high-current paths |
| RθJC | 2 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables direct thermal interface to heatsink without thermal pad penalty |
| CJ | 65 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - Low junction capacitance minimizes capacitive coupling and dv/dt-induced turn-on risk |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220AC - 3-lead, single-ended, through-hole power package with isolated tab (cathode-connected), matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, UL 94V-0 molding compound, and 0.56 N·m max mounting torque.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input terminal for forward conduction | Connected to source/switch node; must withstand full IF and transient IFSM stress |
| Cathode | Output terminal for forward conduction; electrically tied to metal tab | Provides low-inductance return path and thermal interface; requires insulated mounting if not referenced to chassis ground |
| Tab (Cathode) | Thermal and electrical extension of cathode | Enables direct heatsink attachment; isolation required when cathode is not at system ground potential |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures long-term reliability in humid or chemically aggressive environments without hermetic sealing |

Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Switching Mode Inverter Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated 48 V–12 V buck-derived DC-DC modules for telecom and server PSUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve conducting during transformer secondary positive half-cycle; handles 8 A DC output with minimal conduction loss. Use Value: 1.0 V VF at 8 A reduces power dissipation by ~0.8 W vs. standard FRD alternatives, lowering heatsink requirements. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path across inductive loads (e.g., motor windings or solenoids) in half-bridge inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss current recirculation path during high-side switch off-time; clamps inductive kickback with fast trr. Use Value: 50 ns trr limits reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and associated switching loss, improving inverter efficiency at 50–200 kHz PWM frequencies. |
| Automotive On-Board Charger (OBC) Auxiliary Supply | Industrial AC-DC Front-End Rectification |
Use Scenario: Input rectification stage in auxiliary 12 V supply derived from OBC's high-voltage DC bus (e.g., 400 V nominal). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability rectifier converting AC auxiliary winding output to DC; operates continuously at elevated ambient temperatures. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification and 150°C TJMAX ensure functional safety compliance and lifetime stability in under-hood thermal environments. | Use Scenario: Bridge rectifier replacement in industrial 24 V/48 V AC-DC power supplies where space and thermal performance are constrained. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-diode element in discrete bridge configuration; handles 8 A RMS input current with low thermal resistance. Use Value: 2 °C/W RθJC allows direct mounting to aluminum chassis, eliminating need for additional thermal interface materials in cost-sensitive designs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH8L06D (STMicroelectronics) | 600 V VRRM, 8 A IF, 60 ns trr, TO-220AC, no AEC-Q101 grade | Higher voltage rating but slower recovery; suitable for universal-input PFC front-ends, not automotive-grade | Select when >100 V blocking is needed and AEC-Q101 is not required |
| VS-8EWH06FN-M3 (Vishay) | 600 V VRRM, 8 A IF, 55 ns trr, TO-220AC, AEC-Q101 qualified | Same qualification level but higher VRRM; larger junction capacitance (80 pF) increases EMI sensitivity | Prefer for 600 V systems requiring automotive qualification; avoid in noise-critical 100 V designs |
Compared with STTH8L06D and VS-8EWH06FN-M3, the HERA802G offers optimal balance of 100 V rating, 50 ns trr, and AEC-Q101 availability-making it uniquely suited for compact, high-efficiency 12–48 V automotive and industrial DC-DC outputs where voltage margin and speed are tightly coupled.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the HERA802G?
The HERA802G has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows continuous operation at elevated ambient conditions when paired with appropriate heatsinking. Derating curves in the official datasheet define allowable IF versus case temperature, with full 8 A rated at TC ≤ 75°C. Exceeding TJMAX risks permanent degradation of the glass-passivated junction.
Is the HERA802G pin-compatible with other TO-220AC rectifiers?
Yes, the HERA802G uses the industry-standard TO-220AC outline with anode, cathode, and electrically connected metal tab-matching mechanical and solder footprint dimensions of all JEDEC TO-220AC rectifiers. However, electrical characteristics (VRRM, trr, VF) differ across vendors and families; always verify circuit-level compatibility before substitution. The HERA802G cathode is internally bonded to the tab.
Does the HERA802G meet automotive qualification standards?
The base HERA802G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; only the HERA802GH variant carries that certification. The "H" suffix denotes full AEC-Q101 stress testing including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock. For automotive applications requiring qualification evidence, specify HERA802GH-not HERA802G-to ensure compliance with ISO/TS 16949 production controls and failure rate requirements.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of the HERA802G and how is it measured?
The HERA802G has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 50 ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and IRR = 0.25 A per JEDEC standard test circuit. This ultrafast value reflects low stored charge and optimized carrier lifetime control. It directly impacts switching loss and EMI in high-frequency converters, making trr a critical parameter for selecting the HERA802G over standard recovery rectifiers.
How does the HERA802G's forward voltage compare to similar 100 V rectifiers?
The HERA802G specifies a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.0 V at 8 A and 25°C, which is competitive with leading ultrafast rectifiers in the same voltage class. This low VF results from optimized doping and junction design, reducing conduction loss by up to 15% versus legacy FRDs. At elevated temperatures (e.g., 125°C), VF decreases slightly due to negative temperature coefficient-confirming stable performance across operating range.
