Product details
Overview
HS3A V6G 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, used for high-frequency rectification in switching-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the HS3A V6G datasheet, HS3A V6G pinout, HS3A V6G application, or HS3A V6G 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
The HS3A V6G is a single-die, unidirectional silicon rectifier optimized for fast-switching operation with low forward voltage drop and minimal reverse recovery charge. Its DO-214AB (SMC) package supports automated placement and meets UL 94V-0 flammability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.
Designed for operation up to 150 °C junction temperature, it delivers stable performance under repetitive surge conditions (8.3 ms half-sine, 150 A) and exhibits low leakage (≤10 µA at 25 °C, ≤250 µA at 125 °C) across its rated reverse voltage range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MUR350 | Same DO-214AB package, 3 A/50 V, but VF = 1.25 V (max), trr = 75 ns | Higher conduction loss and slower recovery limit use in >200 kHz designs | Prefer HS3A V6G where lower VF and faster trr improve light-load efficiency |
| Vishay VS-3EYH05-M3 | DO-214AB, 3 A/50 V, VF = 0.95 V (typ), trr = 35 ns, but MSL Level 3 | Requires baking prior to reflow; tighter VF tolerance but higher procurement risk | Choose HS3A V6G when J-STD-020 Level 1 compliance is mandatory for no-bake production |
Compared with MUR350 and VS-3EYH05-M3, the HS3A V6G offers the optimal balance of low VF (1.0 V), fast trr (50 ns), and zero-bake manufacturability-making it preferred for high-volume, high-efficiency 50 V rectifier applications where thermal and assembly constraints are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HS3A V6G?
The HS3A V6G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) of +150 °C, allowing reliable operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed power supplies and industrial enclosures. This rating is validated per absolute maximum ratings in the official TSC datasheet Version K2102. Derating curves confirm usable current capacity down to 0 A at 150 °C ambient with proper PCB copper area. The HS3A V6G must not exceed this limit to maintain long-term reliability and parametric stability.
Does HS3A V6G meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the HS3A V6G is fully RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as confirmed in the "Features" section of the TSC datasheet. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives, and lead content is below 1000 ppm. This makes the HS3A V6G suitable for export to EU, Japan, and other regulated markets. Compliance documentation is available upon request from Aetrix Electronics for the HS3A V6G.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for HS3A V6G?
The HS3A V6G 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, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table of the TSC datasheet. This value applies to all variants from HS3A through HS3G. The 50 ns trr enables efficient operation in switching converters operating up to 500 kHz. The HS3A V6G's trr is measured using standardized pulse test methods defined in JEDEC standards.
Is HS3A V6G compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the HS3A V6G features matte tin-plated leads qualified per J-STD-002 for solderability and is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be subjected to multiple lead-free reflow cycles (peak 260 °C) without baking. Its UL 94V-0 molding compound remains dimensionally stable during reflow. No moisture preconditioning is required before assembly, simplifying manufacturing flow for the HS3A V6G in high-mix SMT lines.
What does the "V6G" suffix indicate in HS3A V6G?
The "V6G" suffix in HS3A V6G is Taiwan Semiconductor's internal date and factory code: "V" denotes year code (2025), "6" is week code (week 6), and "G" identifies the fabrication facility. It does not affect electrical specifications-HS3A V6G shares identical absolute maximum ratings, electrical characteristics, and mechanical dimensions with all HS3A devices. This marking aligns with TSC's standard traceability system for the HS3A V6G lot control and quality assurance.
