Product details
Overview
HS5G M6G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 400V, 5A surface-mount high-efficiency rectifier diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, featuring 1.30V max forward voltage at 5A/25°C, 80pF junction capacitance, and 50ns reverse recovery time - used for freewheeling and high-frequency rectification in SMPS for telecom infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the HS5G M6G datasheet, HS5G M6G pinout, HS5G M6G application, or HS5G M6G equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (400V), surge current capability (150A), thermal resistance (60°C/W), RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, glass-passivated silicon PN junction rectifier optimized for switching-mode power supplies. It operates with a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and supports continuous forward current up to 5A with derating above 75°C ambient.
The HS5G variant delivers 400V VRRM, 280V VR(RMS), and exhibits low stored charge due to its 50ns trr - enabling efficient operation in DC-DC converters and flyback snubber circuits where fast recovery minimizes switching losses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in rectifier bridge or freewheeling path |
| IF | 5 A - Continuous average forward current; determines heatsink sizing and PCB copper area requirements |
| IFSM | 150 A - Non-repetitive surge current (8.3ms half-sine); withstands inrush during power-up or fault transients |
| VF @ 5A, 25°C | ≤1.30 V - Forward voltage drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design in high-duty-cycle applications |
| trr | ≤50 ns - Reverse recovery time; critical for minimizing switching loss and EMI in >100kHz SMPS topologies |
| CJ @ 1MHz, 4V | 80 pF - Junction capacitance affects high-frequency noise coupling and snubber design in resonant converters |
| RθJA | 60 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; used to calculate temperature rise on standard FR-4 PCB with 1-in² 2oz copper pad |
Pinout & Package

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-5EWH04-M3 | Same DO-214AB package, 400V VRRM, but 1.25V VF @ 5A and 35ns trr; slightly lower leakage (5µA @ 25°C) | Better suited for ultra-high-frequency (>300kHz) PFC stages where recovery speed dominates loss budget | Select when trr < 40ns is required and layout allows tighter thermal management for lower RθJA (50°C/W) |
| ON Semiconductor MUR540G | DO-214AC (SMA) package, 400V VRRM, 1.3V VF @ 5A, but 60ns trr and higher RθJA (75°C/W) | Lower power density; limited to ≤3A continuous use on standard PCB without thermal relief | Choose only if footprint compatibility with SMA is mandatory and peak current remains below 3.5A |
Compared with VS-5EWH04-M3 and MUR540G, the HS5G M6G offers balanced performance: superior thermal resistance over MUR540G and better moisture robustness (J-STD-020 Level 1) than VS-5EWH04-M3, making it optimal for volume-manufactured telecom and industrial power supplies requiring supply chain stability and assembly simplicity.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HS5G M6G?
The HS5G M6G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official TSC datasheet Version K2102. This rating enables operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed telecom rectifiers or industrial inverters. Derating begins at 75°C ambient, and thermal design must ensure the junction stays within this limit under worst-case load and airflow conditions. The HS5G M6G achieves this with a 60°C/W RθJA on standard PCB layouts.
Is HS5G M6G RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the HS5G M6G is fully RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. This is confirmed in the "Features" section of the TSC datasheet (Version K2102), which explicitly states both compliance statements. The device uses matte tin-plated leads and UL 94V-0 molding compound, supporting environmentally regulated markets including automotive and medical-grade power systems where substance restrictions apply.
What does the marking code 'HS5G' indicate on the HS5G M6G device?
The marking code 'HS5G' on the HS5G M6G identifies it as the 400V variant within the HS5x family - where 'G' corresponds to VRRM = 400V per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table in the TSC datasheet. The 'M6G' suffix in the full orderable part number reflects tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 units per reel) and green compound (G), not a functional variant. No other electrical or thermal parameters differ between HS5G and HS5G M6G.
Can HS5G M6G be used in place of HS5J (600V) in a 400V circuit?
No - while HS5G M6G (400V VRRM) may function electrically in a 400V circuit, substituting it for HS5J (600V VRRM) violates design margin requirements. Transient overvoltages, ringing, or bus fluctuations can exceed 400V, risking avalanche failure. The HS5J provides 50% headroom above nominal 400V operation. HS5G M6G should only replace HS5J if system-level analysis confirms peak reverse voltage never exceeds 360V (90% of rating) under all operating and fault conditions.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of HS5G M6G and how does it affect assembly?
The HS5G M6G has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH and requires no baking prior to reflow soldering. This eliminates process steps, reduces risk of popcorning, and simplifies SMT line scheduling - especially valuable in high-volume telecom and server power manufacturing. The Level 1 rating is enabled by TSC's hermetic molding and glass passivation process detailed in the Mechanical Data section.
