Product details
Overview
PU2BM from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2A, 100V ultra-fast surface-mount rectifier diode in Micro SMA package, featuring 25 ns reverse recovery time, 0.99 V forward voltage at 2A/25°C, and 28 A surge current capability - used in DC-DC converter freewheeling paths.
For engineers reviewing the PU2BM datasheet, PU2BM pinout, PU2BM application, or PU2BM equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (100 V), thermal resistance (RθJL = 28 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +175 °C), and low leakage (<1 µA at 25 °C).
Technical Context
The PU2BM employs planar silicon technology optimized for high-speed switching in power conversion circuits. Its ultra-fast recovery (trr ≤ 25 ns) and low Qrr (57 nC) minimize switching losses during turn-off in hard-switched topologies.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on PCBs with 5 mm × 5 mm copper pads, it delivers RθJA = 60 °C/W and RθJC = 34 °C/W under standard test conditions, supporting continuous 2 A operation up to 125 °C ambient with derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage the device blocks reliably in circuit |
| IF | 2 A - continuous average forward current rating at TA = 25 °C |
| IFSM (8.3 ms) | 28 A - non-repetitive surge current handling for transient overload protection |
| trr | 25 ns - reverse recovery time enabling efficient operation above 100 kHz switching frequencies |
| VF @ 2A, 25°C | 0.99 V - forward voltage drop determining conduction loss and thermal load at rated current |
| RθJL | 28 °C/W - junction-to-lead thermal resistance critical for solder-joint reliability and thermal path design |
| IR @ 100 V, 25°C | <1 µA - low reverse leakage preserving efficiency in high-impedance bias networks |
Pinout & Package
Package: Micro SMA - surface-mount, single-diode configuration with cathode band marking; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.

Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Switching Mode Inverter Freewheeling |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss recirculation path during high-side switch off-phase; clamps inductive kickback. Use Value: 28 ns trr and 3.8 A IRM suppress voltage overshoot and limit snubber requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2R010S | VRRM = 100 V, IF = 2 A, trr = 35 ns, VF = 1.05 V @ 2A - slower recovery and higher VF | Higher conduction and switching loss in >100 kHz designs | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets |
| ES2D | VRRM = 200 V, IF = 2 A, trr = 35 ns, VF = 1.15 V @ 2A - higher voltage rating but slower and less efficient | Over-specified VRRM with trade-offs in speed and loss | Only suitable if 200 V blocking is mandatory and layout allows larger SMA |
Compared with STTH2R010S and ES2D, the PU2BM offers superior switching speed (25 ns vs. ≥35 ns) and lower forward voltage (0.99 V vs. ≥1.05 V), making it optimal for high-efficiency, high-frequency DC-DC and inverter freewheeling where thermal headroom is constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating for PU2BM?
The PU2BM has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 100 V. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and defines the highest reverse-biased voltage the diode can block repeatedly without breakdown. Exceeding this rating risks irreversible avalanche failure. The PU2BM is part of a family where "x" in PU2xM denotes voltage grade - PU2BM = 100 V, PU2DM = 200 V.
What is the forward voltage drop of PU2BM at full rated current and room temperature?
The forward voltage (VF) of PU2BM is 0.99 V at IF = 2 A and TJ = 25 °C, per the Electrical Specifications table. This measured value reflects conduction loss under nominal operating conditions and is critical for thermal design. At elevated junction temperatures (125 °C), VF drops to 0.84 V, improving efficiency but requiring attention to thermal management.
Does PU2BM have a specified reverse recovery time, and how is it measured?
Yes, PU2BM specifies reverse recovery time (trr) as 25 ns under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. An alternate test condition yields 36 ns (IF = 1.0 A, di/dt = 50 A/µs, VR = 30 V). These values confirm its ultra-fast classification and suitability for high-frequency switching applications where rapid turn-off minimizes switching loss.
What package type does PU2BM use, and what are its key mechanical attributes?
PU2BM uses the Micro SMA package - a compact surface-mount outline with matte tin-plated leads, polarity indicated by a cathode band, and weight of approximately 0.006 g. It meets UL 94V-0 flammability, J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (no floor life limitation), and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, enabling direct placement without baking.
Is PU2BM suitable for automotive-grade power supplies?
PU2BM is not qualified to AEC-Q101 or automotive-specific stress standards. While its junction temperature range (–55 to +175 °C) overlaps with automotive requirements, Taiwan Semiconductor explicitly states these devices are "not designed for use in medical, life-saving, or life-sustaining applications" - and automotive safety-critical systems fall under analogous constraints. For automotive use, consult TSC's AEC-Q101-certified rectifier portfolio instead of PU2BM.
