Product details
Overview
HERAF804GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is an AEC-Q101-qualified, single-die, glass-passivated high-efficiency rectifier in ITO-220AC package, rated for 300 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 8 A average forward current (IF), and 150 A surge current (IFSM), used in automotive-grade DC-DC converters and switching inverters.
For engineers reviewing the HERAF804GH datasheet, HERAF804GH pinout, HERAF804GH application, or HERAF804GH equivalent, key selection factors include its 300 V VRRM rating, 1.0 V max forward voltage at 8 A/25°C, 50 ns reverse recovery time, 80 pF junction capacitance, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood automotive power conversion.
Technical Context
This device is a standard recovery silicon rectifier with a single PN junction, optimized for high-current switching-mode power supplies where low conduction loss and fast turn-off are required. Its glass passivation ensures stable performance under thermal cycling and humidity stress.
The HERAF804GH operates with a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and exhibits a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 2°C/W, enabling direct heatsink mounting without isolation pads in space-constrained automotive modules.
Key Specifications

| IF | 8 A - continuous forward current rating at TC = 100°C, suitable for mid-power DC-DC stages |
| IFSM | 150 A - handles 8.3 ms half-sine surges, critical for inrush and fault protection |
| VF (max) | 1.0 V @ 8 A, 25°C - reduces conduction loss to ≤8 W per device at full load |
| trr | 50 ns - limits switching losses and EMI in 100–500 kHz converters |
| CJ | 80 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - minimizes capacitive coupling in high-dv/dt gate-drive isolation paths |
| TJ max | 150°C - enables operation in engine bay environments with ambient up to 125°C |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-efficiency rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH8R03G | 300 V VRRM, 8 A IF, 1.15 V VF (max), 60 ns trr, TO-220AC package | No AEC-Q101 qualification; higher VF increases conduction loss by ~1.2 W at 8 A | Preferred for cost-sensitive industrial SMPS where automotive qualification is not required |
| VS-8EWH03FN-M3 | 300 V VRRM, 8 A IF, 0.98 V VF (typ), 45 ns trr, TO-220AC package, AEC-Q101 qualified | Slightly lower VF and faster trr, but 125°C TJ max (vs. 150°C for HERAF804GH) | Selected when tighter switching loss budget is needed and junction temperature stays below 125°C |
Compared with STTH8R03G and VS-8EWH03FN-M3, the HERAF804GH offers the highest junction temperature rating (150°C) and lowest VF among AEC-Q101-qualified 300 V/8 A rectifiers, making it optimal for thermally constrained automotive modules requiring long-term reliability at elevated temperatures.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HERAF804GH?
The HERAF804GH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of 150°C, verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This allows reliable operation in engine compartment environments where case temperatures may reach 100–125°C, provided thermal design maintains junction temperature below 150°C. The device's 2°C/W RθJC enables effective heatsinking in compact automotive modules.
Is HERAF804GH pin-compatible with other devices in the HERAF80xG family?
Yes, all HERAF801G through HERAF808G variants-including HERAF804GH-share identical ITO-220AC packaging, pinout, and mechanical footprint. Only VRRM, VF, trr, and CJ differ across the family; this allows drop-in voltage-scaling upgrades without PCB redesign, provided thermal and surge margins remain adequate for the new rating.
Does HERAF804GH require a thermal pad or insulator when mounted to a heatsink?
No, the HERAF804GH uses an ITO-220AC package with an electrically isolated metal tab, so it can be mounted directly to a grounded heatsink without thermal pads or insulators. The tab is not internally connected to either anode or cathode, eliminating need for isolation hardware while maintaining 2°C/W thermal resistance.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for HERAF804GH?
The HERAF804GH has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 50 ns, measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This value is confirmed across the HERAF801G–HERAF805G subgroup and supports efficient operation in 100–500 kHz switching converters where fast diode turn-off minimizes switching losses and EMI generation.
How does the "H" suffix in HERAF804GH affect its qualification status?
The "H" suffix in HERAF804GH explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, distinguishing it from non-H variants like HERAF804G. This means HERAF804GH has undergone full stress testing-including HTGB, HTRB, TCT, and UHAST-as defined in AEC-Q101 Rev D, and is approved for use in automotive powertrain, chassis, and body electronics where reliability under harsh conditions is mandatory.
