Product details
Overview
FRS2MD from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount fast recovery rectifier diode rated for 1000 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 2.0 A average forward current at Tc = 95°C, with 500 ns reverse recovery time and 1.3 V max forward voltage at 2.0 A/25°C, used in snubber and freewheeling circuits of offline AC-DC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the FRS2MD datasheet, FRS2MD pinout, FRS2MD application, or FRS2MD equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-221AC package thermal performance (RthJC = 25°C/W), low IR (5 µA @ 1000 V/25°C), and suitability for high-efficiency flyback and boost converter clamp stages.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional power switching diode optimized for rapid turn-off in high-frequency switching topologies. Its 500 ns reverse recovery time and 16 pF junction capacitance enable stable operation up to ~100 kHz in hard-switched converters without excessive switching loss or voltage overshoot.
The DO-221AC (F3-D) package provides low thermal resistance (RthJC = 25°C/W) and robust mechanical reliability under automotive-grade thermal cycling (-55°C to +150°C), supported by glass passivation and halogen-free molding compound compliant with UL 94V-0.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - Withstands peak line transients in universal-input 85–265 VAC SMPS without breakdown |
| I(AV) | 2.0 A @ Tc = 95°C - Supports continuous conduction mode output rectification in 30–50 W adapters |
| Trr | 500 ns - Limits reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 25 nC) to reduce switching losses in 65–100 kHz designs |
| VF | ≤1.3 V @ 2.0 A/25°C - Minimizes conduction loss and heatsink requirements in compact layouts |
| IR | ≤5 µA @ 1000 V/25°C - Ensures low standby leakage in high-impedance bias networks and hold-up circuits |
| RthJC | 25 °C/W - Enables direct PCB copper pour thermal path for >1.5 W dissipation without external heatsink |
Pinout & Package
FRS2MD uses the DO-221AC (F3-D) surface-mount package: a molded, lead-free, halogen-free SMD outline with cathode-marked anode-cathode terminals and 0.035 g mass. Thermal pad is not electrically isolated; case serves as cathode terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Forward current entry | Connected to switch node (e.g., MOSFET drain) in freewheeling/clamp paths |
| Cathode (marked end) | Forward current exit / common reference | Connected to output rail or ground return; serves as thermal interface to PCB copper |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 Rev_C qualified | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics requiring extended temperature and reliability compliance |
| Glass passivated chip | Prevents moisture-induced degradation and ensures long-term parameter stability in humid environments |
| Low VF and low IR | Reduces combined conduction + leakage loss to <2.7 W at 2 A/100°C, easing thermal design |
| DO-221AC package | Enables automated placement and reflow compatibility while delivering 25°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Clamp | Automotive LED Driver Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamping voltage spikes across primary-side MOSFETs in flyback converters during transformer reset. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery diode absorbing inductive energy to limit VDS stress below 80% of MOSFET rating. Use Value: 500 ns Trr prevents tail current overlap with next switching cycle, reducing EMI and MOSFET avalanche risk. | Use Scenario: Providing freewheeling path for inductive current in constant-current LED drivers for automotive exterior lighting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current recirculation path during PWM off-time to maintain LED current continuity. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification and -55°C to +150°C operation ensure reliability across vehicle cabin and under-hood thermal profiles. |
| Industrial DC Link Snubber | AC-DC Adapter Demagnetization |
Use Scenario: Absorbing transient energy from IGBT or SiC MOSFET switching edges in motor drive DC link circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage, low-leakage diode in RC snubber network to dampen ringing and suppress dv/dt-induced false triggering. Use Value: 1000 V VRRM withstands bus overvoltage events; 5 µA IR minimizes snubber resistor self-heating at standby. | Use Scenario: Demagnetizing transformer core in low-cost AC-DC adapters using discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side rectifier conducting only during transformer energy transfer phase, then blocking during reset. Use Value: 2.0 A I(AV) supports 25–40 W output; DO-221AC footprint allows dense layout with minimal board area. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for FRS2MD?
The FRS2MD has a specified operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. Its thermal resistance (RthJC = 25°C/W) allows safe operation at full 2.0 A load when mounted on ≥1 cm² of 2-oz copper with adequate airflow or convection cooling. Derating begins above 95°C case temperature per the forward current curve.
Is FRS2MD compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes. FRS2MD features matte tin-plated terminals and is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles, including JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity. The DO-221AC package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds without delamination or parametric shift.
How does FRS2MD compare to standard PN junction rectifiers in switching applications?
Unlike general-purpose rectifiers with Trr > 2 µs, FRS2MD's 500 ns recovery time reduces reverse recovery charge (Qrr) by >80%, minimizing switching losses, voltage overshoot, and EMI generation in 65–130 kHz converters. Its lower VF also improves efficiency at high load currents.
Can FRS2MD be used in place of Schottky diodes in high-voltage designs?
No - Schottky diodes lack the 1000 V VRRM capability of FRS2MD and typically max out at ~200 V. FRS2MD fills the high-voltage fast-recovery niche where Schottkys fail; it trades higher VF than Schottkys but delivers superior voltage rating, temperature stability, and leakage performance above 200 V.
