Product details
Overview
US1GHE3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount ultrafast rectifier diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 400 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 50 ns reverse recovery time (trr). It features glass passivated junction, AEC-Q101 qualification, and is used in high-frequency freewheeling and output rectification in automotive DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the US1GHE3_A/H datasheet, US1GHE3_A/H pinout, US1GHE3_A/H application, or US1GHE3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400 V VRRM rating, 50 ns trr for low switching loss, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reliability, and SMA package compatibility with automated SMT placement.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, single-anode/cathode silicon PN junction rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching operation. Its ultrafast recovery (50 ns) and low forward voltage (1.7 V at 1.0 A) enable high efficiency in flyback and boost topologies where reverse recovery losses dominate.
The SMA (DO-214AC) package provides thermal resistance of 75 °C/W (RθJA) and 27 °C/W (RθJL), supporting operation up to 150 °C junction temperature. AEC-Q101 qualification confirms robustness under automotive temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical stress conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - blocks up to 400 V reverse voltage in DC/DC output stages without breakdown |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A at TL = 110 °C - supports continuous 1 A conduction on standard 5 mm × 5 mm PCB copper pad |
| trr | 50 ns - enables operation up to ~2 MHz switching frequency with minimal reverse recovery loss |
| VF at IF = 1.0 A | 1.7 V - contributes <1.7 W conduction loss at full load, critical for thermal management |
| IFSM | 30 A - withstands 8.3 ms surge events such as input hot-swap or load dump transients |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - allows use in under-hood automotive environments with no derating below 110 °C ambient |
| IR at VRRM | 10 µA at 25 °C - ensures low leakage in standby mode for battery-powered systems |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), surface-mount, low-profile plastic case with matte tin-plated leads; cathode indicated by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., switch node in buck converter); must handle 30 A surge |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail; polarity marking ensures correct orientation during automated placement |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics per stress test requirements (temperature cycling, HAST, etc.) |
| Glass passivated junction | Enhances long-term reliability and moisture resistance vs. epoxy-passivated alternatives |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles without preconditioning or baking |
| Low profile SMA package | 0.208" height enables compact layout in space-constrained modules like ECU power supplies |
| High IFSM / IF(AV) ratio (30:1) | Supports transient-heavy applications such as motor drive freewheeling without oversized heatsinking |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| US1G-E3/61T | Same VRRM (400 V), trr (50 ns), and IF(AV) (1.0 A), but commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), no automotive qualification | Suitable for industrial/commercial power supplies where automotive reliability testing is not required | Select US1GHE3_A/H when AEC-Q101 compliance is mandatory; choose US1G-E3/61T for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs |
| STTH1R04 | Same SMA package, 400 V VRRM, 1.0 A IF(AV), but trr = 60 ns (slower), VF = 1.75 V (slightly higher) | Acceptable in lower-frequency (<500 kHz) telecom adapters where margin exists on recovery loss | US1GHE3_A/H offers tighter trr spec and automotive qualification; STTH1R04 may be preferred if dual-sourcing across suppliers is needed |
Compared with US1G-E3/61T and STTH1R04, US1GHE3_A/H uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 50 ns trr, and 1.7 V VF in a single-source, drop-in-replaceable SMA footprint-making it the only option qualified for safety-critical automotive power conversion without layout change.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for US1GHE3_A/H?
The US1GHE3_A/H has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of 150 °C, enabling reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures without forced cooling. This rating is validated per AEC-Q101 stress tests and applies across its full operating range.
Is US1GHE3_A/H pin-compatible with other US1x series diodes in SMA package?
Yes, US1GHE3_A/H shares identical SMA (DO-214AC) mechanical dimensions and anode/cathode pinout with all US1x variants (e.g., US1A, US1J), allowing direct substitution within the same voltage grade-provided VRRM, trr, and qualification requirements align with system needs.
Does US1GHE3_A/H meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
US1GHE3_A/H is RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and carries the HE3 suffix indicating AEC-Q101 qualification; however, it is not halogen-free-the HM3 suffix denotes halogen-free construction, so US1GHE3_A/H is RoHS-compliant but contains halogens per Vishay's material categorization.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for US1GHE3_A/H?
The US1GHE3_A/H has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 50 ns, measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This value is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 12-Aug-2022 (Doc. #88768) and enables efficient operation in switching power supplies up to ~2 MHz.
Can US1GHE3_A/H be used in place of US1G-E3/61T without layout changes?
Yes, US1GHE3_A/H uses the identical SMA (DO-214AC) package, pinout, and thermal pad layout as US1G-E3/61T, requiring no PCB modifications. The only differences are AEC-Q101 qualification and packaging format (A/H reel vs. 61T reel); electrical and mechanical interfaces remain fully compatible.
