Product details
Overview
HERA802GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is an AEC-Q101-qualified, glass-passivated, single-die high-efficiency rectifier in TO-220AC package, rated for 8 A average forward current, 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, and 150 A surge current, used in automotive-grade DC-DC converters and switching inverters.
For engineers reviewing the HERA802GH datasheet, HERA802GH pinout, HERA802GH application, or HERA802GH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V VRRM, 1.0 V max forward voltage at 8 A/25°C, 50 ns reverse recovery time, TO-220AC thermal resistance of 2 °C/W, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood automotive power systems.
Technical Context
This device is a unidirectional silicon rectifier diode with planar junction construction and glass passivation for enhanced moisture and contamination resistance. Its low VF (≤1.0 V) and fast trr (≤50 ns) support high-frequency switching topologies up to several hundred kHz.
The TO-220AC package provides direct case-to-heatsink thermal conduction with RθJC = 2 °C/W and supports mounting torque up to 0.56 N·m. It operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.

| trr | ≤50 ns - Fast recovery minimizes switching losses in hard-switched SMPS |
| RθJC | 2 °C/W - Enables 75 W dissipation with 150°C max junction temp and 100°C heatsink |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Validated for automotive powertrain and chassis applications per stress test requirements |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AC package: 3-lead, single-diode configuration with anode (lead 1), cathode (lead 2), and electrically connected tab (cathode). Mounting tab serves as primary heat path and electrical cathode terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Lead 1 | Anode | Input terminal for forward conduction; connects to source-side of switching node |
| Lead 2 | Cathode | Output terminal for forward conduction; ties to output rail or freewheeling path |
| Tab (Case) | Cathode | Electrically tied to lead 2; must be isolated from heatsink unless circuit reference permits common-cathode mounting |
Key Features

| Glass-passivated junction | Prevents surface leakage and degradation under humid or contaminated conditions |
| Low VF (≤1.0 V @ 8 A) | Reduces conduction loss by ≥15% vs. standard FR-type rectifiers at same rating |
| Fast trr (≤50 ns) | Enables operation in 200–500 kHz switching converters without excessive turn-off loss |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 and automotive ELV directive for end-of-life recyclability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-efficiency rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH8L06W | 600 V VRRM, 1.75 V VF @ 8 A, 75 ns trr, TO-220AC | Higher voltage rating but higher conduction and switching loss | Select when system requires >100 V reverse margin; not drop-in due to VF/trr trade-off |
| VS-8EWH06FN-M3 | 600 V VRRM, 1.25 V VF @ 8 A, 55 ns trr, TO-220AC | Higher VRRM and slightly higher VF; same package footprint | Acceptable alternative if 600 V blocking is required; verify thermal design with +0.25 V VF penalty |
Compared with STTH8L06W and VS-8EWH06FN-M3, HERA802GH offers lower forward voltage and faster recovery at 100 V rating-making it optimal for cost- and efficiency-sensitive 12–48 V automotive and industrial converters where higher VRRM is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HERA802GH?
The HERA802GH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C, validated across its full operating range from -55°C to +150°C. This rating supports use in under-hood automotive locations and enclosed industrial enclosures where ambient temperatures exceed 100°C, provided thermal design maintains case temperature within limits using the specified RθJC = 2 °C/W path.
Is HERA802GH pin-compatible with other TO-220AC rectifiers?
Yes, HERA802GH uses the standard TO-220AC outline with anode (lead 1), cathode (lead 2), and cathode-connected tab-matching industry-standard pinout for single-diode TO-220AC devices. Mechanical mounting holes, lead spacing, and tab dimensions comply with JEDEC TO-220AC specifications, enabling direct replacement in existing layouts designed for equivalent packages.
Does HERA802GH meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the "H" suffix in HERA802GH explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification. Taiwan Semiconductor's official documentation confirms full compliance with AEC-Q101 stress tests-including HTGB, HTRB, TC, UHAST, and ESD-making HERA802GH suitable for automotive powertrain, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems where component reliability is critical.
What is the typical forward voltage of HERA802GH at 8 A and 125°C?
The datasheet specifies VF ≤1.0 V at 8 A and 25°C. While no explicit value is given at 125°C, the typical forward voltage increases ~2 mV/°C for silicon rectifiers; thus, HERA802GH exhibits approximately 1.18 V at 8 A and 125°C. This remains competitive versus alternatives and supports thermal stability in high-ambient designs.
How does the reverse recovery time of HERA802GH impact EMI in switching converters?
With trr ≤50 ns, HERA802GH minimizes reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and associated current spikes during turn-off. This directly reduces high-frequency ringing and conducted EMI in 200–500 kHz SMPS designs-lowering filter component count and easing EMC compliance compared to slower 100+ ns rectifiers like general-purpose FR series.
