Product details
Overview
HERA805GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is an AEC-Q101-qualified, high-efficiency 8A, 400V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) glass-passivated silicon rectifier in TO-220AC package, featuring 1.3V forward voltage at 8A/25°C, 50ns reverse recovery time, and 65pF junction capacitance - used in automotive-grade DC-DC converters and freewheeling paths.
For engineers reviewing the HERA805GH datasheet, HERA805GH pinout, HERA805GH application, or HERA805GH equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 400V VRRM rating, 150A surge capability, thermal resistance of 2°C/W, and TO-220AC mechanical compatibility with standard heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, unidirectional, fast-recovery power rectifier optimized for switching-mode power supplies where low conduction loss and rapid turn-off are critical. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable operation under high-humidity and thermal-cycling conditions typical in automotive environments.
The HERA805GH operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, supports 0.56 N·m mounting torque, and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and RoHS/halogen-free compliance per IEC 61249-2-21 - confirming suitability for under-hood automotive power systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - maximum non-repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in flyback/freewheeling clamping circuits |
| IF | 8 A - continuous average forward current at case temperature ≤75°C; sets baseline conduction capacity for 12–48V DC-DC stages |
| IFSM | 150 A - peak non-repetitive surge current (8.3ms half-sine); enables robustness against load dump or startup transients |
| VF @ 8A, 25°C | 1.3 V - forward voltage drop; directly determines conduction loss (10.4W at full load) and thermal design margin |
| trr | 50 ns - reverse recovery time; limits switching losses and EMI generation in 100–500kHz SMPS topologies |
| RθJC | 2 °C/W - junction-to-case thermal resistance; allows accurate heatsink sizing when mounted with recommended torque |
| CJ @ 1MHz, 4V | 65 pF - junction capacitance; influences high-frequency noise coupling and snubber design in high-dV/dt applications |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AC package: single-ended, 3-lead outline with center tab (cathode), outer leads (anode and cathode). Mounting hole centered on tab; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Lead 1 (left) | Anode | Main current entry point; electrically isolated from tab; connects to input/high-side node in buck/flyback |
| Tab (center) | Cathode | Primary heat path and electrical return; must be electrically isolated from chassis unless circuit requires common-cathode configuration |
| Lead 2 (right) | Cathode | Secondary cathode connection; used for Kelvin sensing or low-inductance return routing in precision designs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive power electronics including engine control units and ADAS power rails |
| Glass-passivated junction | Prevents moisture ingress and metallization corrosion during 1000+ thermal cycles (–40°C to +125°C) |
| Low VF (1.3V @ 8A) | Reduces conduction loss by ~18% vs. comparable 400V rectifiers with VF >1.6V, improving efficiency in 12V–48V systems |
| Fast trr (50ns) | Enables operation up to 500kHz without excessive switching loss or ringing in synchronous rectifier auxiliary paths |
| Halogen-free & RoHS | Complies with EU ELV Directive and automotive OEM material declarations (e.g., Ford WSS-M99P9999-A1) |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-efficiency rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH8R04DJF | 400V VRRM, 8A IF, 1.25V VF @ 8A, 45ns trr, TO-220AC, no AEC-Q101 | Higher efficiency but lacks automotive qualification; not suitable for under-hood deployment | Select when cost-sensitive industrial SMPS require marginal VF improvement and qualification is unnecessary |
| VS-8EWH04FN-M3 | 400V VRRM, 8A IF, 1.35V VF @ 8A, 60ns trr, TO-220AC, AEC-Q101 qualified | Slightly higher VF and slower recovery; identical thermal and packaging specs | Choose when second-source assurance is required and 0.05V/5ns trade-off is acceptable for supply chain resilience |
Compared with STTH8R04DJF and VS-8EWH04FN-M3, the HERA805GH uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, 1.3V VF, and 50ns trr in TO-220AC - making it optimal for automotive DC-DC where qualification and dynamic performance are jointly mandated.

The HERA805GH belongs to TSC's AEC-Q101-qualified HERA series of high-efficiency rectifiers, engineered specifically for high-reliability 12–48V automotive power systems and high-frequency industrial SMPS where low VF and fast trr are critical.
FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the HERA805GH?
The HERA805GH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This rating enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings when paired with appropriate heatsinking per its 2°C/W RθJC specification. The HERA805GH maintains parameter stability up to this limit under continuous 8A conduction.
Is the HERA805GH pin-compatible with other devices in the HERA80xG family?
Yes, all HERA80xG and HERA80xGH devices share identical TO-220AC package dimensions, lead frame layout, and pinout - including HERA805GH. Voltage ratings differ across the family (50V to 1000V), but mechanical and thermal mounting requirements, terminal polarity, and solderability specifications remain fully consistent across HERA801G through HERA808G variants.
Does the HERA805GH meet halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the HERA805GH complies with halogen-free standards per IEC 61249-2-21 and is RoHS-compliant. Its molding compound contains no chlorine or bromine-based flame retardants, and the matte tin-plated leads satisfy J-STD-002 solderability. These attributes are confirmed in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet revision J2103 for HERA805GH.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for HERA805GH, and under what test conditions?
The HERA805GH has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 50ns, measured at IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, and Irr = 0.25A per the datasheet's Electrical Specifications table. This value applies to HERA801G–HERA805G variants and reflects performance at 25°C ambient, supporting high-frequency switching in DC-DC converters up to 500kHz without excessive loss.
Can HERA805GH be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the HERA805GH is only offered in through-hole TO-220AC package and is not suitable for surface-mount assembly. Its mechanical construction - including center tab for heatsinking and lead spacing - requires wave soldering or hand-soldering with mechanical mounting. For SMT alternatives, engineers should evaluate TSC's surface-mount equivalents such as the HERA805G-SMD series, not the HERA805GH.
