Product details
Overview
HS2AAH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1.5A, 50V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) surface-mount fast recovery rectifier in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring 50 ns reverse recovery time (trr), 1.0 V max forward voltage at 1.5 A, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use in DC-DC converters and freewheeling circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HS2AAH datasheet, HS2AAH pinout, HS2AAH application, or HS2AAH equivalent, key selection considerations include its 50 V VRRM, 50 ns trr, 1.0 V VF @ 1.5 A, DO-214AC mechanical compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood automotive systems.
Technical Context
The HS2AAH is a single-die, glass-passivated silicon junction rectifier optimized for high-efficiency switching applications. Its 50 ns reverse recovery time and low 1.0 V forward voltage support reduced conduction and switching losses in high-frequency DC-DC topologies.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, it meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, with moisture sensitivity level 1 and UL 94V-0 molding compound - enabling direct placement in automated SMT lines without baking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in snubber and freewheeling paths. |
| IF | 1.5 A continuous - Rated average forward current; determines thermal design margin at 150°C junction temperature. |
| trr | 50 ns - Measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables efficient operation up to ~2 MHz switching frequencies. |
| VF | ≤1.0 V @ 1.5 A, 25°C - Low conduction loss improves power stage efficiency and reduces heatsink requirements. |
| RθJA | 80 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in standard JEDEC PCB layout; sets baseline for thermal derating curves. |
| IFSM | 50 A - Non-repetitive surge rating (8.3 ms half-sine); supports inrush and fault-current handling in automotive power rails. |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) package: molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, cathode indicated by band, polarity-critical for rectification direction. Weight: 0.060 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side of load or switch node; must withstand full surge current during turn-on. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked by band; connects to higher-potential rail; blocks 50 V reverse voltage with ≤5 µA leakage at 25°C. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood environments including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock per AEC standard. |
| Glass passivated chip junction | Provides stable reverse leakage and long-term reliability against environmental contamination and humidity ingress. |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | Zero bake requirement before reflow; compatible with standard SMT assembly without dry-pack or floor-life constraints. |
| Low profile DO-214AC (SMA) | Height ≤2.6 mm; fits space-constrained automotive modules and portable DC-DC converters. |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive; suitable for environmentally regulated OEM supply chains. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter | Automotive Lighting |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectification or output freewheeling in 12 V–48 V automotive buck/boost converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast recovery rectifier providing unidirectional current path with minimal VF and trr-induced losses. Use Value: Enables >92% efficiency at 1.5 A output with 50 ns trr reducing switching node ringing and EMI generation. | Use Scenario: LED driver output rectification and overvoltage protection in headlamp and DRL modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode across inductive LED current sources and transient suppression in CAN-connected lighting ECUs. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification ensures operational stability across -40°C to +125°C ambient, while 50 V VRRM covers load-dump transients. |
| Snubber Network | Freewheeling Application |
Use Scenario: RCD snubber clamp across MOSFETs in flyback or forward converters powering infotainment systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery clamping diode that resets snubber capacitor with minimal stored charge. Use Value: 50 ns trr prevents reverse recovery current spikes during MOSFET turn-on, improving snubber energy transfer accuracy. | Use Scenario: Inductive load commutation in solenoid drivers, HVAC actuators, and fuel pump controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling path for back-EMF energy dissipation when switching off 12 V inductive coils. Use Value: 50 A IFSM rating handles repeated inductive kickback surges; glass passivation ensures long-term leakage stability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L50 | Same DO-214AC package, 1.5 A IF, but 50 V VRRM and 75 ns trr; VF ≈ 0.95 V @ 1.5 A. | Higher trr increases switching loss in >500 kHz designs; suitable where EMI is less critical. | Prefer HS2AAH where faster recovery and AEC-Q101 compliance are required. |
| MBR150 | DO-41 through-hole; 1.5 A IF, 50 V VRRM, Schottky architecture; VF ≈ 0.55 V but no AEC-Q101 rating. | Lower VF reduces conduction loss, but lacks automotive qualification and has higher leakage above 85°C. | HS2AAH preferred for SMT automotive production; MBR150 only for non-automotive prototyping. |
Compared with STTH1L50 and MBR150, HS2AAH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 50 ns trr, and DO-214AC SMT compatibility - making it the only drop-in-qualified option for production automotive DC-DC and lighting modules requiring zero rework on thermal or reliability validation.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HS2AAH?
The HS2AAH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official datasheet. This rating allows operation in under-hood automotive environments when mounted on standard FR-4 PCBs with appropriate copper area. Derating begins above 25°C ambient per the forward current derating curve, and HS2AAH must not exceed this limit during steady-state or transient conditions.
Is HS2AAH pin-compatible with other parts in the HS2xAH family?
Yes, all HS2xAH parts-including HS2AAH, HS2BAH, and up to HS2MAH-share identical DO-214AC (SMA) package dimensions, lead pitch, and cathode-band polarity marking. Mechanical and soldering compatibility is guaranteed across the family; only VRRM, trr, and VF vary by voltage grade. HS2AAH can be substituted on the same footprint for 50 V designs without layout change.
Does HS2AAH meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, HS2AAH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified per the manufacturer's documentation, covering stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and mechanical shock. This qualification applies specifically to the HS2AAH variant-not inferred from the family-and is confirmed in the "Features" section of the official datasheet revision A2102.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for HS2AAH at elevated temperature?
At 125°C junction temperature and rated 50 V reverse voltage, HS2AAH exhibits a maximum reverse current (IR) of 100 µA, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. At 25°C, the limit is 5 µA. This leakage behavior is measured under pulse conditions (PW = 30 ms) and remains stable due to glass passivation of the junction.
Can HS2AAH be used in surface-mount reflow processes without pre-baking?
Yes, HS2AAH has Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH and placed directly into standard lead-free reflow profiles (e.g., JEDEC J-STD-020 Class 3) without baking. No floor life limitation or dry-pack requirement applies, simplifying SMT line integration.
