Product details
Overview
HS3A M6G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3 A, 50 V glass-passivated surface-mount silicon rectifier diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, featuring 1.0 V max forward voltage at 3 A and 150 A peak surge current, designed for high-frequency rectification in switching-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the HS3A M6G datasheet, HS3A M6G pinout, HS3A M6G application, or HS3A M6G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (50 V), thermal resistance (60 °C/W), junction capacitance (80 pF), reverse recovery time (≤50 ns), and moisture sensitivity level (J-STD-020 Level 1).
Technical Context
This single-die standard recovery rectifier operates with a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C and supports continuous forward current up to 3 A at 25 °C ambient. Its low-profile DO-214AB (SMC) package enables automated placement and meets UL 94V-0 flammability requirements.
The device exhibits 10 µA max reverse leakage at 25 °C and 250 µA at 125 °C, with junction capacitance measured at 80 pF under 1 MHz / 4.0 V reverse bias - optimized for high-frequency freewheeling and SMPS output rectification where fast recovery and low VF are critical.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| IF (Continuous Forward Current) | 3 A - supports sustained DC output rectification in 30–60 W SMPS designs |
| VRRM (Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage) | 50 V - rated for secondary-side rectification in low-voltage DC-DC converters |
| VF (Forward Voltage @ 3 A, 25 °C) | ≤1.0 V - reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency vs. higher-VF alternatives |
| IFSM (Peak Surge Current) | 150 A - withstands inrush and transient overloads in power supply startup |
| RθJA (Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance) | 60 °C/W - enables operation at full current with minimal heatsinking on standard PCB copper |
| trr (Reverse Recovery Time) | ≤50 ns - minimizes switching loss and EMI in 100–500 kHz SMPS topologies |
| CJ (Junction Capacitance) | 80 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - balances low capacitance for speed with sufficient charge handling for soft recovery |

Use Value: 1.0 V VF minimizes power loss at 3 A load, improving adapter efficiency and thermal margin. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path in 3–5 A, 300–500 kHz synchronous buck regulators for FPGA or SoC core rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss current path when high-side MOSFET is off; complements control IC timing. Use Value: ≤50 ns trr reduces switching node ringing and EMI generation during transition. |
| Telecom DC Power Shelf Rectification | Industrial PLC Power Supply Input Stage |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in -48 V telecom power shelves delivering up to 3 A per rail. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main output rectifier in isolated forward or flyback topology with tight thermal constraints.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S | 600 V VRRM, 1.7 V VF @ 3 A, TO-277 package | Higher voltage rating but higher VF; suited for universal-input offline SMPS | Select if >100 V reverse blocking required; not drop-in due to different package and VF |
| MBR360 | Schottky, 60 V VRRM, 0.72 V VF @ 3 A, DO-214AC (SMA) | Lower VF and faster recovery, but limited to ≤60 V and higher IR at elevated temperature | Prefer for <60 V, high-efficiency apps where leakage at 125 °C is acceptable |
Compared with STTH3L06S and MBR360, the HS3A M6G offers optimal balance of low VF (≤1.0 V), moderate 50 V rating, and DO-214AB thermal performance for cost-sensitive, medium-power secondary-side rectification where Schottky leakage or higher-voltage Si limitations are unacceptable.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HS3A M6G?
The HS3A M6G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150 °C, enabling reliable operation in thermally constrained environments such as enclosed power adapters and industrial control units. This rating is validated across its full operating current range and supports derating curves published in the official TSC datasheet. The HS3A M6G maintains stable electrical characteristics up to this limit when thermal resistance (RθJA = 60 °C/W) is respected in PCB layout.
Does HS3A M6G have a halogen-free construction?
Yes, the HS3A M6G is halogen-free in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21, verified by material composition testing and documented in TSC's product compliance reports. This ensures environmental compliance for export to EU, Japan, and other regulated markets. The HS3A M6G also meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements, with no restricted substances above threshold limits.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for HS3A M6G?
The HS3A M6G has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 50 ns under test conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This value is confirmed in the "ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS" table of the TSC datasheet (Version K2102). The HS3A M6G's trr supports efficient operation in 100–500 kHz switching converters without excessive switching loss or voltage overshoot.
Is HS3A M6G suitable for automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the HS3A M6G is explicitly designed for automated placement, as stated in its "FEATURES" section. Its DO-214AB (SMC) package complies with JEDEC standards for tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 pcs/reel), and its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements. The HS3A M6G's J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity eliminates pre-bake steps, streamlining high-volume SMT line integration.
What does the "M6G" suffix indicate in HS3A M6G?
The "M6G" suffix in HS3A M6G denotes Taiwan Semiconductor's internal date code and assembly lot identifier: "M" indicates manufacturing year (2023), "6" is the calendar week (week 6), and "G" is the factory code. It does not affect electrical specifications - all HS3A devices share identical parametric ratings regardless of suffix. The HS3A M6G remains fully interchangeable with other HS3A date codes in design and production.
