Product details
Overview
HS1KALH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 A, 800 V glass-passivated surface-mount rectifier in Thin SMA package, featuring 1.49 V forward voltage at 1.0 A and 25°C, 75 ns reverse recovery time, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability in DC/DC converters and snubber circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HS1KALH datasheet, HS1KALH pinout, HS1KALH application, or HS1KALH equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage (800 V), thermal resistance (RθJL = 29 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and low-profile Thin SMA packaging for high-density power layouts.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, unidirectional silicon rectifier optimized for fast-switching, high-efficiency power conversion. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable performance under thermal cycling and humidity stress, while the Thin SMA package supports automated placement and meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1.
The HS1KALH operates with a maximum average forward current of 1 A and withstands repetitive peak reverse voltages up to 800 V. Electrical behavior is characterized by a typical junction capacitance of 8 pF at 1 MHz and VR = 4.0 V, enabling reduced switching losses in high-frequency applications such as automotive DC/DC stages.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R08 | 800 V VRRM, 1 A IF, 75 ns trr, but TO-277 package (larger footprint, higher RθJA) | Less suitable for ultra-thin automotive modules due to 1.1 mm height vs. Thin SMA's 1.0 mm max | Preferred where board-level thermal relief is available and AEC-Q101 not required |
| ES1J | 600 V VRRM, same Thin SMA package, 35 A IFSM, but only 60 ns trr and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not rated for 800 V systems; limited to 48 V–60 V DC bus applications | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs voltage margin and automotive qualification needs |
Compared with STTH1R08 and ES1J, the HS1KALH uniquely combines 800 V rating, AEC-Q101 qualification, and Thin SMA footprint-enabling direct integration into space- and reliability-constrained automotive power stages without layout or thermal redesign.

FAQ
What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating for HS1KALH?
The HS1KALH has a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 800 V. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version B2103), and defines the maximum reverse-biased voltage the device can block repeatedly without breakdown under normal operating conditions. The HS1KALH is part of the HS1DALH–HS1MALH series where "K" explicitly denotes the 800 V grade.
Is HS1KALH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, HS1KALH is AEC-Q101 qualified, as stated in the FEATURES section of the official datasheet. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and mechanical shock-validating its suitability for underhood automotive systems such as engine control units and ADAS power supplies. The HS1KALH shares this qualification across the full HS1xALH series.
What is the forward voltage drop of HS1KALH at 1.0 A and 25°C?
The forward voltage (VF) of HS1KALH is 1.49 V (typical) and 1.70 V (maximum) at 1.0 A and 25°C, per the Electrical Specifications table. These values are measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and directly determine conduction losses in power stage design. At 125°C, VF drops to 1.16 V (typ) due to negative temperature coefficient of silicon diodes.
Does HS1KALH have a specified reverse recovery time?
Yes, HS1KALH has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 75 ns maximum, tested at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This value is shared with HS1JALH and HS1MALH in the datasheet's Electrical Specifications table and confirms suitability for high-frequency switching applications up to several hundred kHz.
What package type does HS1KALH use, and what are its key mechanical attributes?
HS1KALH uses the Thin SMA package-a low-profile surface-mount outline with cathode band polarity marking, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, UL 94V-0 molding compound, and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020. Its approximate weight is 0.029 g, and it is designed for automated placement in high-volume manufacturing. The package dimensions and pad layout are detailed in the Package Outline Dimensions section of the datasheet.
