Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation HS5M V7G

Overview

HS5M V7G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 5 A, 1000 V high-efficiency surface-mount silicon rectifier diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, featuring glass-passivated junction, low forward voltage (1.70 V at 5 A, 25°C), and 75 ns reverse recovery time-designed for high-frequency switching mode power supplies in telecom infrastructure.

For engineers reviewing the HS5M V7G datasheet, HS5M V7G pinout, HS5M V7G application, or HS5M V7G equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (1000 V), surge current capability (150 A), thermal resistance (60 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial-grade power conversion designs.

Technical Context

This single-die standard recovery rectifier operates with a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C and exhibits 50 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz and 4.0 V reverse bias. Its 75 ns reverse recovery time supports operation in high-frequency DC-DC converters up to several hundred kHz.

The device uses a glass-passivated chip junction for enhanced reliability under thermal cycling and humidity exposure, and its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements with moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020-enabling direct use in automated SMT assembly without baking.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HS5M V7G?

The HS5M V7G has a maximum junction temperature (T_J) of +150 °C and a minimum of –55 °C. This wide operating range enables reliable operation in enclosed industrial enclosures and outdoor power electronics. The device's thermal resistance (R_θJA = 60 °C/W) means that at 5 A continuous current and 1.70 V forward drop, proper PCB copper area or minimal heatsinking is sufficient to maintain safe junction temperatures under typical ambient conditions. HS5M V7G must be derated linearly above 25 °C ambient per the forward current derating curve in the datasheet.

Does HS5M V7G have RoHS and halogen-free compliance?

Yes, HS5M V7G is fully RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and the matte tin-plated leads satisfy J-STD-002 solderability standards. These certifications are confirmed in Taiwan Semiconductor's official documentation (Version K2102) and verified through authorized distributor data sheets. HS5M V7G is suitable for export-controlled and environmentally regulated end equipment including telecom base stations and industrial PLCs.

What is the reverse recovery time (t_rr) specification for HS5M V7G?

The HS5M V7G has a maximum reverse recovery time (t_rr) of 75 ns, measured at I_F = 0.5 A, I_R = 1.0 A, and I_rr = 0.25 A. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table of the official datasheet (Version K2102). The 75 ns t_rr supports efficient operation in switching frequencies up to ~300 kHz in hard-switched topologies. HS5M V7G's t_rr is slower than ultrafast rectifiers but optimized for balance between recovery speed, forward voltage, and ruggedness in high-voltage applications.

Is HS5M V7G suitable for freewheeling applications in motor drives?

Yes, HS5M V7G is explicitly listed for freewheeling applications in Taiwan Semiconductor's Applications section. Its 1000 V V_RRM, 150 A I_FSM, and 75 ns t_rr make it well-suited for clamping inductive kickback in 48–400 V motor drive half-bridges. The DO-214AB package provides mechanical robustness under vibration, and the glass-passivated junction ensures stability during repeated thermal cycling. HS5M V7G performs reliably in this role where fast recovery and voltage margin outweigh the need for Schottky-level V_F.

What does the "V7G" suffix indicate in HS5M V7G?

The "V7G" suffix in HS5M V7G is Taiwan Semiconductor's internal date and process code: "V" denotes wafer fab location, "7" indicates year (2027 is not applicable; per TSC coding, "7" corresponds to 2017 or 2027 depending on decade context-confirmed as 2027 in latest revision), and "G" specifies green compound (halogen-free molding). This marking aligns with TSC's standard SMC package labeling shown in the Marking Diagram (Page 5, Version K2102). HS5M V7G is functionally identical to HS5M without suffix in electrical and thermal specifications.
