Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation HS5D R7

Overview

HS5D R7 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 200V, 5A high-efficiency surface-mount silicon rectifier diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, featuring low forward voltage drop (1.00 V at 5A, 25°C), 150A surge capability, and 50 ns reverse recovery time - used for freewheeling and high-frequency rectification in SMPS power supplies.

For engineers reviewing the HS5D R7 datasheet, HS5D R7 pinout, HS5D R7 application, or HS5D R7 equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (200 V), thermal resistance (60 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), moisture sensitivity level (J-STD-020 Level 1), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance.

Technical Context

This single-die, glass-passivated standard recovery rectifier operates with a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and exhibits typical junction capacitance of 80 pF at 1 MHz and 4.0 V reverse bias. Its low-profile DO-214AB package supports automated placement and meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating.

The device delivers 5 A average forward current with 150 A non-repetitive surge rating (8.3 ms half-sine), reverse leakage ≤10 µA at 25°C, and reverse recovery time ≤50 ns under specified test conditions (IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A).

FAQ

What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for HS5D R7?

The HS5D R7 has a VRRM rating of 200 V, meaning it can reliably block up to 200 volts of reverse-biased voltage in repetitive operation. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version K2102) and defines the upper limit for safe reverse-bias operation in applications like bridge rectifiers or freewheeling paths. Exceeding this voltage risks avalanche breakdown and permanent damage to the HS5D R7.

What is the forward voltage drop (VF) of HS5D R7 at its rated current?

The HS5D R7 exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.00 V at 5 A forward current and 25°C junction temperature, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This VF directly impacts conduction losses and thermal design - for example, at 5 A, the device dissipates 5 W resistively. The actual VF decreases slightly at lower currents and increases with rising junction temperature, per the Typical Forward Characteristics curve in the HS5D R7 datasheet.

Does HS5D R7 have a defined reverse recovery time (trr), and what is its value?

Yes, the HS5D R7 has a specified reverse recovery time of ≤50 ns under test conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This trr value is critical for minimizing switching losses and EMI in high-frequency converters. It is measured using the circuit diagram shown in Figure 6 of the HS5D R7 datasheet and reflects the device's behavior as a standard recovery rectifier - distinct from ultrafast or Schottky types.

What package type does HS5D R7 use, and is it compatible with automated assembly?

The HS5D R7 uses the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package, which features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability standards. Its low-profile design and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity make it fully compatible with standard reflow soldering and high-speed pick-and-place equipment - eliminating pre-bake requirements and supporting high-yield automated manufacturing of the HS5D R7.

Is HS5D R7 RoHS and halogen-free compliant?

Yes, the HS5D R7 is RoHS compliant and halogen-free in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21. These environmental qualifications are explicitly stated in the Features section of the Taiwan Semiconductor HS5D R7 datasheet (Version K2102) and verified through material declarations. This compliance enables use in consumer, industrial, and telecom products subject to EU WEEE/RoHS directives and regional halogen restrictions.
