Product details
Overview
HS2KH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 800 V, 2 A surface-mount high-efficiency fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring 75 ns reverse recovery time, 1.7 V forward voltage at 2 A, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive power conversion and freewheeling applications.
For engineers reviewing the HS2KH datasheet, HS2KH pinout, HS2KH application, or HS2KH equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage (800 V), forward current rating (2 A), thermal resistance (80 °C/W), junction capacitance (30 pF), and automotive-grade reliability per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
The HS2KH operates as a single-die, unidirectional silicon rectifier with glass-passivated junction and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability. Its 800 V VRRM and 75 ns trr support high-frequency switching in DC/DC converters and snubber circuits.
Designed for operation from −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, the device delivers 50 A non-repetitive surge capability (8.3 ms half-sine) and maintains ≤150 µA reverse leakage at 125 °C, enabling robust performance in automotive lighting and engine control modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - supports input rails up to 560 V DC in industrial and automotive DC/DC stages |
| IF | 2 A continuous - sustains steady-state output current in compact 12–48 V converter designs |
| trr | 75 ns - enables efficient operation at switching frequencies up to ~1 MHz in flyback and boost topologies |
| VF | 1.7 V @ 2 A, 25 °C - limits conduction loss to ≤3.4 W per device under full load |
| RθJA | 80 °C/W - requires ≥25 mm² copper pour for thermal management at full IF in SMB footprint |
| CJ | 30 pF @ 4 V - minimizes capacitive coupling noise in high-dv/dt gate-drive or snubber paths |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AA (SMB), surface-mount, cathode-indicated by band, matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 molding compound, 0.090 g weight.

Applications
| Automotive DC/DC Converter | LED Headlamp Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Step-down conversion from 12 V battery to regulated 5–24 V for vehicle infotainment and ADAS sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode in synchronous or asynchronous buck regulator output stage. Use Value: 800 V VRRM provides margin against load-dump transients; 75 ns trr minimizes dead-time losses. | Use Scenario: Constant-current LED driver for adaptive front lighting systems (AFS) with PWM dimming. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Snubber diode across MOSFET switch to clamp inductive kick and suppress voltage spikes. Use Value: 50 A IFSM withstands repetitive surge events; low CJ (30 pF) reduces capacitive coupling into sensitive analog feedback paths. |
| Industrial Power Supply | Freewheeling in Relay/Actuator Control |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated 24–48 V telecom or PLC power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier in flyback or forward converter with 100–300 kHz switching.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling path for stored magnetic energy during coil de-energization. Use Value: Fast 75 ns recovery prevents voltage overshoot beyond 800 V rating; AEC-Q101 ensures field longevity in harsh industrial settings. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-2EYH08-M3 | Same DO-214AA package, 800 V VRRM, but 1.35 V VF @ 2 A and 50 ns trr | Better efficiency in high-frequency (>300 kHz) converters due to lower VF and faster trr | Select when minimizing conduction and switching loss is prioritized over AEC-Q101 compliance |
| ON Semiconductor MUR280EG | DO-204AL (DO-41) through-hole, 800 V VRRM, 1.75 V VF, 75 ns trr, no AEC-Q101 | Requires PCB rework for through-hole assembly; lacks automotive qualification | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial designs where surface-mount and automotive qualification are not required |
Compared with VS-2EYH08-M3 and MUR280EG, the HS2KH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, SMB surface-mount compatibility, and 800 V/2 A ratings-making it the preferred choice for automotive-grade DC/DC and lighting modules requiring zero-layout change and certified reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HS2KH?
The HS2KH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150 °C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official TSC datasheet Version A2102. This allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and enclosed industrial power supplies. Derating curves confirm 2 A continuous current is maintainable up to 100 °C ambient with appropriate PCB copper area. The HS2KH must not exceed this limit to ensure long-term parametric stability and AEC-Q101 compliance.
Is HS2KH pin-compatible with other devices in the HS2xH series?
Yes, all HS2xH devices-including HS2AH, HS2BH, HS2DH, HS2FH, HS2GH, HS2JH, HS2KH, and HS2MH-share identical DO-214AA (SMB) package dimensions, anode/cathode terminal layout, and polarity marking (cathode band). The HS2KH can be substituted within the same footprint for different VRRM requirements without PCB modification, provided thermal and electrical margins are validated for the target application.
Does HS2KH meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the HS2KH is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 Rev D for stress testing including HTSL, TC, UHAST, and bond wire pull. This qualification is documented on page 1 of the TSC HS2AH–HS2MH datasheet (Version A2102) under FEATURES. The HS2KH is approved for use in automotive powertrain, body electronics, and lighting systems where component-level reliability is mandated.
What is the forward voltage drop of HS2KH at rated current?
The HS2KH exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.7 V at 2 A forward current and 25 °C junction temperature, as specified in the ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS table (page 2, Version A2102). At 125 °C, VF decreases slightly due to negative temperature coefficient; actual measured values typically range from 1.55 V to 1.65 V under full-load thermal equilibrium. This VF directly determines conduction loss in HS2KH-based designs.
How does HS2KH compare to standard PN-junction rectifiers in switching performance?
The HS2KH uses a fast recovery epitaxial structure with 75 ns reverse recovery time (trr), significantly outperforming standard PN rectifiers (typically >500 ns). This enables reduced switching losses, lower EMI, and higher usable frequency in DC/DC converters. Unlike general-purpose rectifiers, the HS2KH's controlled carrier lifetime and optimized doping profile deliver consistent trr across temperature-critical for stable operation in automotive HS2KH deployments.
