Product details
Overview
HS5GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 5A, 400V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) surface-mount silicon rectifier diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, featuring 1.30V max forward voltage at 5A/25°C, 50ns max reverse recovery time, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability in freewheeling and DC-DC converter applications.
For engineers reviewing the HS5GH datasheet, HS5GH pinout, HS5GH application, or HS5GH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400V VRRM, 150A IFSM, 60°C/W RθJA, glass-passivated junction, and DO-214AB mechanical compatibility with automated SMT assembly lines.
Technical Context
The HS5GH operates as a single-die, standard-recovery silicon rectifier optimized for medium-voltage switching power supplies and automotive snubber circuits. Its 50ns trr and 80pF junction capacitance support efficient high-frequency operation up to ~1 MHz under specified test conditions (IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, Irr = 0.25A).
Thermally rated for TJ = –55°C to +150°C and packaged in UL 94V-0 compliant molding compound, the HS5GH delivers stable performance in automotive lighting and industrial DC-DC converters where moisture resistance (MSL Level 1), low-profile mounting, and matte tin-plated leads are required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in DC-DC flyback and freewheeling paths. |
| IF | 5 A - Continuous average forward current; supports sustained conduction in 12–48V automotive power rails. |
| IFSM | 150 A - Peak surge rating for 8.3ms half-sine; enables robustness against load dump transients in vehicle systems. |
| VF @ 5A, 25°C | 1.30 V max - Forward drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design in high-current rectification stages. |
| trr | 50 ns max - Reverse recovery time determines switching loss and EMI behavior in hard-switched topologies. |
| CJ @ 1MHz, 4V | 80 pF - Junction capacitance affects high-frequency impedance and noise coupling in snubber networks. |
| RθJA | 60 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient; informs heatsinking requirements on standard FR-4 PCBs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AB (SMC) - Surface-mount, low-profile, dual-leaded plastic case with cathode band polarity marking and 0.210g mass. Compliant with JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing and J-STD-020 MSL Level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 1) | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side of rectifier path; requires adequate copper pour for thermal dissipation. |
| Cathode (Lead 2, banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to higher-potential rail; cathode band provides unambiguous polarity identification during automated placement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including temperature cycling, HTRB, and UHAST - enables use in engine control, lighting, and ADAS subsystems. |
| Glass passivated chip junction | Enhances long-term reliability and moisture resistance versus epoxy-passivated alternatives, critical for under-hood environments. |
| Low forward voltage drop (1.30V @ 5A) | Reduces conduction losses by ~15% compared to legacy 1N54xx series at same current, improving efficiency in 12V/24V DC-DC stages. |
| DO-214AB (SMC) package | Enables high-density layout and compatibility with standard SMT pick-and-place equipment; footprint matches industry-standard SMC land pattern. |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | Eliminates bake preconditioning prior to reflow, reducing manufacturing cost and cycle time in high-volume automotive production. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-5EWH04-M3 | Same DO-214AB package, 400V VRRM, but 1.25V VF @ 5A and 35ns trr; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Preferred in non-automotive industrial converters where faster recovery is prioritized over qualification. | Select when lower switching loss outweighs automotive compliance requirements. |
| ON Semiconductor MUR540EG | DO-214AC (SMA) package, 400V VRRM, 1.3V VF @ 5A, 50ns trr, AEC-Q101 qualified; smaller footprint and lower IF rating (3.5A avg). | Suitable for space-constrained PCBs where 5A continuous current is not required. | Choose for compact layouts accepting derated current capacity and different thermal profile. |
Compared with VS-5EWH04-M3 and MUR540EG, the HS5GH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 5A rating, DO-214AB mechanical compatibility, and 400V blocking in a single automotive-grade rectifier - making it optimal for volume automotive power modules where qualification, current capability, and thermal robustness are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for HS5GH?
The HS5GH has a VRRM rating of 400 V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version A2102). This value defines the highest reverse voltage the device can block repeatedly without breakdown and is critical for selecting appropriate safety margins in automotive and industrial power designs.
Is HS5GH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, HS5GH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified per the manufacturer's documentation. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and unbiased highly accelerated stress test (UHAST), confirming suitability for under-hood and cabin electronics such as lighting, solenoid drivers, and DC-DC converters.
What is the forward voltage drop of HS5GH at rated current?
HS5GH exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.30 V at 5 A and 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This parameter is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and directly impacts conduction loss and thermal management in high-current rectification paths.
Does HS5GH have a defined reverse recovery time (trr)?
Yes, HS5GH has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 50 ns, tested at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This value is documented in the Electrical Specifications section and supports efficient operation in medium-frequency switching applications like flyback and forward converters.
What package type does HS5GH use, and is it RoHS compliant?
HS5GH uses the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads and is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The package meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, supporting reliable automated assembly and environmental compliance.
