Product details
Overview
HERAF801GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is an AEC-Q101-qualified, glass-passivated, single-die high-efficiency rectifier in ITO-220AC package, rated for 8A average forward current, 50V repetitive peak reverse voltage, and 150A surge capability - used in automotive DC-DC converters requiring robust freewheeling diodes.
For engineers reviewing the HERAF801GH datasheet, HERAF801GH pinout, HERAF801GH application, or HERAF801GH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.0V max forward voltage at 8A/25°C, 2°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 80pF junction capacitance, 50ns reverse recovery time, and UL recognition (E-326243) for safety-critical power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This device implements a fast-recovery, low-VF silicon PN junction rectifier optimized for switching-mode power supplies. Its 50V VRRM, 150A IFSM, and 50ns trr support high-frequency operation with minimal conduction and switching losses in automotive-grade DC-DC stages.
The ITO-220AC package provides direct metal heatsinking via the cathode tab, enabling efficient thermal transfer at up to 150°C junction temperature. Glass passivation ensures stable performance under humidity and thermal cycling per AEC-Q101 stress requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-efficiency rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH8R05DJF | 50V VRRM, 8A IF, 1.15V VF @ 8A, TO-220AC package, no AEC-Q101 rating | Non-automotive industrial use only; lacks automotive qualification and UL file | Acceptable where AEC-Q101 and safety certification are not required |
| VS-8EWH05FN-M3 | 50V VRRM, 8A IF, 0.95V VF @ 8A, 45ns trr, TO-220AC, AEC-Q101 qualified | Lower VF and faster trr, but higher cost and lower surge rating (120A IFSM) | Preferred when minimizing conduction loss is critical and surge margin is relaxed |
Compared with STTH8R05DJF, HERAF801GH adds AEC-Q101 and UL recognition for automotive deployment; versus VS-8EWH05FN-M3, it trades 5ns slower recovery and 30A lower surge for broader availability and tighter cost control in volume production.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HERAF801GH?
The HERAF801GH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C, validated across its full operating range from −55°C to +150°C. This rating enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial enclosures. Thermal design must maintain TJ ≤150°C using the specified 2°C/W junction-to-case resistance and proper heatsinking. HERAF801GH performance remains stable within this limit per AEC-Q101 thermal cycling requirements.
Is HERAF801GH pin-compatible with standard ITO-220AC rectifiers?
Yes, HERAF801GH uses the industry-standard ITO-220AC footprint with Anode on lead 1 and Cathode on the metal tab (lead 2 optional). It shares identical mechanical dimensions, mounting hole location, and terminal pitch with other ITO-220AC rectifiers such as STTH8R05DJF and VS-8EWH05FN-M3. No PCB redesign is needed when substituting HERAF801GH into existing layouts using this package.
Does HERAF801GH meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, HERAF801GH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified per the manufacturer's documentation and ordering code suffix "H". It undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, high-temperature operating life, and mechanical shock - all aligned with AEC-Q101 Rev D requirements. This qualification confirms suitability for automotive powertrain, chassis, and body electronics applications.
What is the forward voltage specification for HERAF801GH at rated current?
The HERAF801GH has a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.0 V at 8 A forward current and 25°C junction temperature, measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms). At elevated temperatures (e.g., 125°C), VF decreases slightly due to semiconductor physics. This low VF directly reduces conduction losses in high-current DC-DC stages where HERAF801GH is deployed.
What safety certifications does HERAF801GH hold?
HERAF801GH is UL Recognized under File #E-326243 and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free requirements per IEC 61249-2-21. The UL recognition covers flammability (UL 94V-0 molding compound), electrical insulation, and construction integrity - enabling direct use in end-equipment safety certifications without additional component-level testing.
