Product details
Overview
HS2K from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 2 A average forward current, surface-mount fast recovery rectifier in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring 1.7 V max forward voltage at 2 A and 75 ns reverse recovery time - used in high-efficiency AC/DC converters and industrial SMPS front-end stages.
For engineers reviewing the HS2K datasheet, HS2K pinout, HS2K application, or HS2K equivalent, key selection criteria include its 800 V VRRM, 50 A surge rating, 150 °C junction temperature limit, RoHS- and halogen-free compliance, and SMB footprint compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The HS2K is a single-die, glass-passivated silicon junction rectifier optimized for fast switching in high-frequency power conversion. Its 75 ns reverse recovery time and low 30 pF junction capacitance at 4 V support reduced switching losses in 50–500 kHz SMPS topologies.
Thermal performance is defined by an 80 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance under standard PCB mounting conditions. The device operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and maintains ≤5 µA reverse leakage at 25 °C and rated 800 V reverse bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - supports input rectification in universal-line (85–265 VAC) SMPS with ≥2× safety margin |
| IF | 2 A continuous - delivers stable output power up to ~100 W in compact SMB-footprint designs |
| VF (max) | 1.7 V @ 2 A, 25 °C - limits conduction loss to ≤3.4 W per device at full load |
| trr | 75 ns - enables efficient operation in hard-switched flyback and forward converters above 100 kHz |
| CJ | 30 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - minimizes capacitive coupling noise and EMI generation in high-dV/dt circuits |
| RθJA | 80 °C/W - requires ≥1 cm² copper pour for thermal management at full IF in still air |
| IFSM | 50 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands inrush surges from cold-start line transients without failure |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) plastic package with matte tin-plated leads; cathode indicated by band; polarity-critical for series/parallel rectifier configurations.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input terminal for AC or positive-side rectification | Connected to transformer secondary or bridge input; must handle full IF and IFSM current stress |
| Cathode | Output terminal for DC output path | Connected to bulk capacitor or post-regulator stage; carries same current as anode with 1.7 V drop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast recovery (75 ns) | Reduces switching loss and diode-induced ringing in high-frequency flyback converters |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures long-term reliability under humidity and thermal cycling in industrial environments |

Applications
| Industrial SMPS Front-End | LED Driver Secondary Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-efficiency 60–120 W offline SMPS for PLC power supplies and motor drives. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side output rectifier in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback topology. Use Value: 800 V VRRM accommodates reflected voltage spikes and line surges; 75 ns trr prevents cross-conduction loss with synchronous MOSFETs. | Use Scenario: Constant-current LED driver for street lighting with universal AC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side freewheeling rectifier in quasi-resonant (QR) flyback converter.

Use Value: 30 pF CJ minimizes EMI during turn-off; 50 A IFSM handles startup inrush without derating. | Use Scenario: 48 V input industrial DC-DC module with reverse-polarity and overvoltage protection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input polarity protection diode in series with primary-side fuse and TVS. Use Value: 150 °C TJMAX ensures survival during sustained overvoltage events; glass passivation resists moisture-induced leakage drift. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2R08 | 800 V VRRM, 2 A IF, 75 ns trr, but TO-220AC package (larger footprint, higher RθJA) | Requires heatsink for >1 A continuous use; unsuitable for space-constrained SMB layouts | Select when thermal budget allows discrete heatsinking and board area permits TO-220 footprint |
| ES2J | 600 V VRRM, 2 A IF, 35 ns trr, same DO-214AA package | Limited to 600 V systems; lower VF (1.7 V typical vs. 1.7 V max for HS2K) but insufficient for 800 V surge margins | Select only in 230 VAC-only designs where 600 V rating meets safety certification requirements |
Compared with STTH2R08 and ES2J, the HS2K uniquely balances 800 V rating, SMB footprint, and 75 ns recovery in a single cost-effective component - enabling compact, high-reliability rectification without heatsinks or voltage derating compromises.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for HS2K?
The HS2K has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 800 V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version L2102). This rating defines the highest reverse voltage the HS2K can block repeatedly without breakdown under normal operating conditions and is critical for selecting appropriate safety margins in 230 VAC and universal-input power supplies.
Does HS2K have a specified forward voltage (VF) at 2 A?
Yes, the HS2K has a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.7 V at 2 A forward current and 25 °C junction temperature, per the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and represents the worst-case conduction loss - essential for thermal design and efficiency calculations in the HS2K's target applications.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of HS2K and how is it tested?
The HS2K has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 75 ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, as specified in the datasheet's Electrical Specifications section. This test method reflects real-world switching behavior in hard-commutated topologies and directly impacts switching loss and EMI in the HS2K's intended SMPS and converter applications.
Is HS2K compliant with RoHS and halogen-free standards?
Yes, the HS2K is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. These compliance attributes are verified for the HS2K's molding compound and lead finish, supporting environmental requirements for commercial, industrial, and consumer end equipment using the HS2K.
What package type does HS2K use and what are its mechanical identifiers?
The HS2K uses the DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package, with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002, UL 94V-0 molding compound, and cathode polarity indicated by a visible band. Its weight is approximately 0.090 g, and the package outline matches JEDEC standard MS-012, ensuring compatibility with standard SMT pick-and-place and reflow processes for the HS2K.
