Product details
Overview
HS3AB from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 50V repetitive peak reverse voltage surface-mount Schottky rectifier in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring 1.0V max forward voltage at 3A and 50ns reverse recovery time, designed for high-efficiency switching mode power supplies and AC/DC adapters.
For engineers reviewing the HS3AB datasheet, HS3AB pinout, HS3AB application, or HS3AB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50V VRRM, 100A IFSM, 60°C/W RθJA, JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and moisture sensitivity level 1 compliance.
Technical Context
This single-die, glass-passivated silicon rectifier operates with junction temperatures from –55°C to +150°C and supports automated SMT placement. Its low-profile DO-214AA (SMB) package meets UL 94V-0 flammability and features matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002.
The device delivers 3A average forward current with 1.0V typical forward voltage at 3A and 25°C, 10μA max reverse leakage at rated 50V and 25°C, and 80pF junction capacitance at 1MHz/4V - enabling fast switching and reduced conduction losses in compact power converters.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-efficiency rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-3EJH05-M3/45 | 50V VRRM, 3A IF, 1.1V VF max @ 3A, 65ns trr, DO-214AA | Higher VF increases conduction loss by ~0.3W at full load; slightly slower recovery | Acceptable where thermal margin exists and cost sensitivity outweighs 5% efficiency penalty |
| ON Semiconductor MUR350G | 50V VRRM, 3A IF, 1.25V VF max @ 3A, 75ns trr, DO-201AD | Larger DO-201AD package requires PCB redesign; higher VF and trr reduce efficiency | Only suitable if legacy through-hole assembly remains in production or DO-214AA footprint unavailable |
Compared with VS-3EJH05-M3/45 and MUR350G, HS3AB offers the lowest forward voltage and fastest recovery in DO-214AA, making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally sensitive 36W+ adapter designs requiring >91% efficiency at full load.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating for HS3AB?
The HS3AB has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 50 V, verified per TSC datasheet Version L2102. This defines the highest reverse-biased voltage the device can block continuously without avalanche breakdown. Exceeding 50 V risks irreversible junction failure. The HS3AB is not interchangeable with higher-voltage variants like HS3BB (100V) or HS3DB (200V) without circuit revalidation.
Does HS3AB support lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, HS3AB supports lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-002. Its matte tin-plated leads are qualified for peak temperatures up to 260°C, and its moisture sensitivity level is rated Class 1 per J-STD-020 - meaning no pre-bake is required prior to reflow. The DO-214AA package also complies with UL 94V-0 flammability requirements for safety-critical power applications.
What is the typical forward voltage drop of HS3AB at rated current?
The HS3AB exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.0 V at 3 A and 25°C junction temperature, with typical values lower under real operating conditions. This low VF directly reduces conduction losses - for example, yielding only 3.0 W of power dissipation at full 3 A load - making HS3AB especially effective in thermally constrained adapter and monitor power supplies.
Can HS3AB be used as a direct replacement for older DO-214AA rectifiers like 1N5822?
HS3AB is not a direct replacement for 1N5822 due to differences in surge rating and thermal resistance: HS3AB specifies 100 A IFSM and 60°C/W RθJA, whereas 1N5822 typically offers 80 A IFSM and ~75°C/W RθJA. While both share DO-214AA footprint and 3A rating, HS3AB's superior surge and thermal performance may require layout verification for mechanical stress and thermal relief in legacy designs.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for HS3AB at elevated temperature?
At 100°C junction temperature, HS3AB exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 250 μA when biased at its rated 50 V reverse voltage. This value is critical for standby power design - for instance, in TV auxiliary supplies - where sub-200 μA leakage helps meet strict IEC 62301 Ed.2 no-load consumption targets. At 25°C, leakage is limited to 10 μA max.
