Product details
Overview
HERAF1602G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 16A, 100V glass-passivated high-efficiency rectifier diode in ITO-220AC package, featuring 250A surge capability, 1.0V forward voltage at 16A/25°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification option (HERAF1602GH). It serves as primary output rectifier in automotive DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the HERAF1602G datasheet, HERAF1602G pinout, HERAF1602G application, or HERAF1602G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (100V), junction-to-case thermal resistance (2°C/W), reverse recovery time (≤50ns), and UL recognition (E-326243).
Technical Context
This single-die silicon rectifier uses planar passivation for stable operation under high-temperature stress (TJ up to +150°C) and high dv/dt conditions. Its low VF and fast trr reduce conduction and switching losses in high-frequency SMPS topologies.
The ITO-220AC package enables direct heatsink mounting with 0.56 N·m torque limit and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 solderability requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse blocking voltage before breakdown |
| IF | 16 A - Continuous average forward current at case temperature ≤75°C |
| IFSM | 250 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), supports inrush handling |
| VF | 1.0 V - Forward voltage drop at 16 A and 25°C junction temperature, defines conduction loss |
| trr | ≤50 ns - Reverse recovery time at IF=0.5A, IR=1.0A, Irr=0.25A, limits switching loss |
| RθJC | 2 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to case, enables 75°C case temp at full 16A load |
| IR | 10 µA max @ 25°C - Low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance circuits |
Pinout & Package
ITO-220AC package: 3-terminal through-hole outline with isolated tab (cathode-connected metal base), matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 molding compound, 1.70g mass.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 1) | Forward current entry | Connects to input/high-side node; must withstand full surge current path |
| Cathode (Tab) | Forward current exit / Heat dissipation surface | Electrically active cathode terminal; requires insulated mounting when not referenced to ground |
| Cathode (Lead 2) | Secondary cathode connection | Provides low-inductance return path; used with tab for parallel conduction or enhanced thermal coupling |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-efficiency rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1602D | VRRM = 200V, VF = 1.15V @ 16A, trr = 45ns, TO-220AC package | Higher voltage rating suits 200V bus designs; slightly higher VF increases conduction loss | Select when 200V blocking is required and 0.15V VF penalty is acceptable for improved surge margin |
| ON Semi MUR1620CT | Dual common-cathode configuration, VRRM = 200V, VF = 1.2V @ 8A per die, trr = 35ns | Requires redesign for single-diode layout; optimized for dual-rail outputs or interleaved phases | Choose only if dual-diode topology is already implemented and space permits larger footprint |
Compared with STTH1602D and MUR1620CT, HERAF1602G offers the lowest VF (1.0V) at its rated 100V class and native AEC-Q101 qualification path-critical for automotive-grade 48V systems where thermal headroom and qualification traceability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HERAF1602G?
The HERAF1602G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings. Derating curves confirm 16A continuous current is sustainable up to 75°C case temperature, directly enabled by its 2°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance.
Is HERAF1602G pin-compatible with HERAF1602GH?
Yes-HERAF1602G and HERAF1602GH share identical ITO-220AC mechanical dimensions, pinout, and electrical specifications. The "H" suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification; both parts use the same die and assembly process, differing only in test screening and documentation. No PCB changes are required when upgrading to the qualified version.
What does the marking code "HERAF1602G" indicate on the device body?
The marking "HERAF1602G" identifies the specific variant: "HERAF" = high-efficiency rectifier family, "16" = 16A rating, "02" = 100V VRRM, "G" = green (halogen-free) molding compound. Date code and factory code appear separately per package outline diagram; "G" does not denote RoHS status alone but confirms full IEC 61249-2-21 compliance.
Can HERAF1602G be used in place of a Schottky diode in a 100 kHz flyback converter?
HERAF1602G is suitable where VRRM ≥ 100V and switching speed (trr ≤ 50ns) meets design requirements-but unlike Schottkys, it exhibits higher VF (1.0V vs. ~0.5V) and minority-carrier behavior. Use it when thermal robustness, surge tolerance, or cost outweighs ultra-low forward loss; avoid in < 48V, high-duty-cycle applications where Schottky's lower VF dominates efficiency.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for HERAF1602G at elevated temperature?
HERAF1602G specifies reverse current (IR) ≤ 10 µA at 25°C and ≤ 400 µA at 125°C, measured at rated VR. This low high-temperature leakage preserves standby efficiency in always-on automotive modules and prevents thermal runaway in parallel configurations when properly heatsinked.
