Product details
Overview
TSD3GALH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 400V glass-passivated ESD-hardened rectifier diode in Thin SMA package, featuring 0.96V forward voltage at 3A/25°C, 50A surge rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the TSD3GALH datasheet, TSD3GALH pinout, TSD3GALH application, or TSD3GALH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 15°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, 8kV HBM ESD rating, and suitability for polarity protection in harsh-environment DC power rails.
Technical Context
This single-die standard recovery rectifier operates with a maximum junction temperature of 175°C and exhibits low leakage (≤1µA at 25°C, ≤6µA at 125°C) under rated reverse voltage. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable performance across automotive temperature ranges.
The Thin SMA package (JEDEC DO-221AC variation) delivers 70°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on a 5mm × 5mm Cu pad PCB, supporting high-reliability automated assembly with moisture sensitivity level 1 and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in DC bus or input rectification |
| IF | 3 A - Continuous forward current rating; supports steady-state power conversion up to 3A without derating at 25°C |
| IFSM | 50 A - Non-repetitive surge current (8.3ms); handles inrush or fault transients in automotive power supplies |
| VF @ 3A/25°C | 0.96 V max - Low conduction loss; reduces power dissipation and thermal stress in compact layouts |
| RθJL | 15 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables direct heat transfer to PCB copper for thermal management |
| ESD Rating | ≥8 kV HBM - Meets AEC-Q101-001 Class H3B; eliminates need for external ESD protection in board-level designs |
Pinout & Package
Thin SMA package (JEDEC DO-221AC variation), surface-mount, cathode-indicated by band. Dimensions: 4.40 × 2.70 × 1.20 mm (L × W × H). Matte tin-plated leads, RoHS/halogen-free compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path) in polarity protection configurations |
| Cathode | Current exit point during forward conduction; marked by band | Connected to higher-potential side (e.g., supply rail) to block reverse current flow |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L04S | 400V VRRM, 3A IF, TO-277 package (larger footprint, higher RθJA = 90°C/W) | Requires larger PCB area and additional thermal relief; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Choose when legacy TO-277 footprint compatibility is mandatory and automotive qualification is not required |
| SB340-E3/52T | 40V VRRM, 3A IF, SMA package; Schottky architecture (VF ≈ 0.55V), no reverse recovery | Lower VF but insufficient for 400V blocking; unsuitable for mains-derived or automotive battery inputs | Choose only for low-voltage (<60V) DC-DC front ends where ultra-low VF outweighs voltage limitation |
Compared with STTH3L04S and SB340-E3/52T, the TSD3GALH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 400V blocking, Thin SMA footprint, and 8kV ESD immunity-making it the only option validated for automotive polarity protection without layout or reliability trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the TSD3GALH?
The TSD3GALH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +175°C, enabling reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-temperature industrial enclosures. This rating is validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing and supported by its 15°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance. The TSD3GALH must be thermally anchored to adequate PCB copper to maintain this limit under full 3A load.
Is the TSD3GALH pin-compatible with other Thin SMA rectifiers like the 1N4007?
No, the TSD3GALH is not pin-compatible with legacy 1N4007-style SMA packages. While both use SMA outlines, the TSD3GALH employs the JEDEC DO-221AC variant (Thin SMA) with tighter dimensional tolerances (4.40 × 2.70 mm) versus standard SMA (4.5 × 2.7 mm). Layouts designed for 1N4007 may require minor pad adjustments to ensure solder joint integrity for the TSD3GALH.
Does the TSD3GALH meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the TSD3GALH is fully AEC-Q101 qualified per revision D, including stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock. Its qualification covers the full -40°C to +175°C operating range and validates its use in automotive body control modules, lighting drivers, and infotainment power supplies. The marking code "D3GAL" on the device confirms AEC-Q101 compliance.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the TSD3GALH at elevated temperature?
At 125°C and rated reverse voltage (400V), the TSD3GALH exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 6 µA, per its electrical specifications table. This low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on systems such as telematics control units. At 25°C and 400V, IR is guaranteed ≤1 µA, supporting precision power rail monitoring.
Can the TSD3GALH replace Schottky rectifiers in low-VF applications?
No-the TSD3GALH is a standard recovery silicon rectifier (VF ≈ 0.96V @ 3A), not a Schottky. It cannot replace Schottky diodes like SB340 where ultra-low VF (<0.6V) or zero reverse recovery charge is required. However, the TSD3GALH offers superior 400V blocking and AEC-Q101 qualification where Schottky alternatives fail, making it a purpose-built solution for robust polarity protection-not low-loss rectification.
