Product details
Overview
HS3F from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3 A, 300 V high-efficiency surface-mount silicon rectifier diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, featuring 1.0 V max forward voltage at 3 A and 50 ns reverse recovery time, used for high-frequency rectification in switching-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the HS3F datasheet, HS3F pinout, HS3F application, or HS3F equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (300 V), forward surge current rating (150 A), junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (60 °C/W), moisture sensitivity level (J-STD-020 Level 1), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance.
Technical Context
The HS3F is a single-die, glass-passivated, planar junction silicon rectifier optimized for high-frequency operation. Its 50 ns reverse recovery time and low forward voltage drop support efficient energy transfer in SMPS and DC-DC converters.
Designed for automated placement and reflow soldering, it uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Polarity is marked by a cathode band on the DO-214AB body.
Key Specifications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode across transformer secondary windings. Use Value: 1.0 V VF at 3 A reduces conduction loss by 0.3 W vs. 1.3 V diodes, lowering thermal stress on adjacent MOSFETs and magnetics. |

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-3EYH03-M3/45 | Same DO-214AB package, 300 V VRRM, but 1.15 V VF @ 3 A and 75 ns trr | Slightly higher conduction and switching loss; suitable where cost sensitivity outweighs 0.15 V/25 ns trade-off | Select when supply chain diversification is prioritized and 0.5% efficiency loss is acceptable |
| ON Semiconductor MUR330 | DO-201AD package (larger), same 300 V/3 A rating, 1.3 V VF, 50 ns trr, but 75 °C/W RθJA | Requires larger PCB footprint and additional thermal relief; not SMT-optimized for high-density layouts | Choose only if legacy through-hole compatibility or existing DO-201AD footprint reuse is mandatory |
Compared with VS-3EYH03-M3/45 and MUR330, the HS3F delivers the lowest combined conduction and switching loss in its voltage class due to its 1.0 V VF and 50 ns trr, while maintaining J-STD-020 Level 1 handling and DO-214AB's space efficiency-critical for next-gen power density targets.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the HS3F?
The HS3F has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150 °C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version K2102). This allows reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed server chassis or sealed industrial enclosures. Derating curves confirm usable current capacity down to 1.5 A at 125 °C ambient, assuming standard DO-214AB mounting on 1-inch² 2-oz copper.
Does the HS3F support lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the HS3F supports lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020 Level 1 requirements. Its matte tin-plated leads are solderable per J-STD-002, and the device is qualified for peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. The DO-214AB package uses UL 94V-0 molding compound, ensuring stability during standard Pb-free thermal profiles without delamination or popcorning.
How does the HS3F differ from the HS3G in terms of electrical performance?
The HS3F and HS3G share identical package, thermal specs, and surge rating, but differ in reverse voltage and forward voltage: HS3F is rated for 300 V VRRM and ≤1.0 V VF @ 3 A, while HS3G is rated for 400 V VRRM and ≤1.3 V VF @ 3 A. The HS3F offers lower conduction loss, whereas HS3G provides higher voltage margin-selection depends on system peak reverse stress and efficiency targets.
Is the HS3F suitable for use in automotive applications?
The HS3F is not qualified to AEC-Q101 or automotive-grade reliability standards. While its −55 to +150 °C operating range overlaps with some automotive ambient conditions, Taiwan Semiconductor explicitly states these devices are "not designed for use in medical, life-saving, or life-sustaining applications"-and automotive safety-critical systems fall outside its intended scope. For automotive, consider TSC's AEC-Q101-certified rectifier families instead.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the HS3F at elevated temperature?
Per the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (K2102), the HS3F exhibits ≤250 µA reverse leakage current (IR) at rated VR = 300 V and junction temperature of 125 °C. At 25 °C, IR is ≤10 µA. This low leakage supports stable hold-up time in offline capacitors and minimizes standby power loss in no-load conditions.
