Product details
Overview
RS1GLH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a fast recovery surface-mount rectifier diode with 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 0.8 A average forward current (IF), and 150 ns reverse recovery time (trr) measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A - used in DC-DC converters and automotive snubber circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RS1GLH datasheet, RS1GLH pinout, RS1GLH application, or RS1GLH equivalent, key selection criteria include its Sub SMA package, AEC-Q101 qualification, 1.3 V max forward voltage at 0.8 A, 5 µA max reverse leakage at 25°C, and suitability for high-efficiency switching in space-constrained automotive lighting and power supply designs.
Technical Context
The RS1GLH is a single-die, glass-passivated silicon junction rectifier optimized for fast switching in medium-voltage, low-current applications. Its 400 V VRRM rating and 150 ns trr enable efficient operation in flyback and freewheeling topologies where rapid turn-off minimizes switching losses.
Thermally, it features a junction-to-lead resistance of 32 °C/W and operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range. It meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and JESD 201 class 2 whisker resistance requirements - confirming robustness for automated SMT assembly and automotive under-hood environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - supports DC-DC input stages up to 400 V peak reverse stress without breakdown |
| IF (avg) | 0.8 A - continuous forward conduction capability suitable for low-power auxiliary rails |
| trr | 150 ns - enables high-frequency switching (>100 kHz) with minimal reverse recovery loss |
| VF (max) | 1.3 V @ 0.8 A - limits forward conduction loss to ≤1.04 W at rated current |
| IR (max) | 5 µA @ 25°C - ensures low standby leakage in battery-backed or energy-sensitive circuits |
| RθJL | 32 °C/W - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper for passive cooling in compact layouts |

Applications
| DC-DC Converter Secondary Rectification | Automotive LED Lighting Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used as secondary-side synchronous rectifier replacement in isolated flyback converters powering infotainment displays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery rectifier conducting during transformer demagnetization phase; blocks reverse voltage during primary switch on-time. Use Value: 150 ns trr reduces cross-conduction loss and improves efficiency by ≥0.8% over standard rectifiers at 250 kHz switching. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling diode across inductive LED driver coil in adaptive front-lighting systems (AFS). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides safe current path during PWM off-time; clamps inductive kickback to prevent MOSFET drain overvoltage. Use Value: 400 V VRRM withstands transient spikes up to 380 V, and AEC-Q101 qualification ensures operation at 125°C ambient. |
| Snubber Network Diode | Industrial Power Supply Auxiliary Rail |
Use Scenario: Reverse-biased element in RCD snubber across MOSFETs in AC-DC PFC stages. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Blocks main rail voltage while charging snubber capacitor during switch turn-off; rapidly recovers before next cycle. Use Value: Low CJ (10 pF) minimizes capacitive loading, and 150 ns trr prevents false triggering of snubber discharge timing. | Use Scenario: Output rectifier for 12 V/0.5 A auxiliary bias supply in programmable logic controller (PLC) power modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Delivers stable low-current DC after transformer secondary winding; handles intermittent load surges up to 30 A IFSM. Use Value: Sub SMA package fits tight board spacing; 32 °C/W RθJL enables natural convection cooling without heatsink. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R04 | Same VRRM (400 V), but VF = 1.35 V (max) @ 1 A; trr = 120 ns; DO-214AC package | DO-214AC has larger footprint (4.5 × 2.7 mm) vs. Sub SMA (2.5 × 1.3 mm); higher IFSM (50 A) | Prefer STTH1R04 for higher surge tolerance; choose RS1GLH when board area or automotive qualification is critical |
| MBR0540 | Schottky structure; VF = 0.55 V (typ) @ 0.5 A, but VRRM only 40 V; no reverse recovery (trr = N/A) | Not suitable above 40 V reverse stress; limited to low-voltage DC-DC outputs | Use MBR0540 only in ≤40 V applications where ultra-low VF outweighs voltage limitation; RS1GLH remains required for 400 V blocking |
Compared with STTH1R04 and MBR0540, the RS1GLH uniquely balances 400 V capability, AEC-Q101 compliance, and Sub SMA miniaturization - making it the only viable option for space-constrained, thermally demanding automotive 12 V–48 V subsystems requiring fast recovery and industrial-grade reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for RS1GLH?
The RS1GLH has a VRRM rating of 400 V, meaning it can reliably block reverse voltages up to this level without breakdown under repetitive conditions. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version A2103) and is specific to the RS1GLH variant - distinct from RS1ALH (50 V) or RS1MLH (1000 V). The RS1GLH must not be operated beyond 400 V in any design.
Is RS1GLH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the RS1GLH is AEC-Q101 qualified, as explicitly stated in the Features section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and mechanical shock - validating its suitability for under-hood and cabin automotive systems such as LED headlight drivers and body control modules. The RS1GLH is not just "automotive grade" - it is formally certified.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) condition for RS1GLH?
The RS1GLH reverse recovery time is specified as 150 ns under the exact test condition: IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, per the Electrical Specifications table. This measurement reflects real-world switching behavior in flyback and forward converter freewheeling paths. Unlike generic "fast recovery" claims, this trr value is measured and guaranteed - not typical or calculated - and applies only to the RS1GLH, not other variants like RS1JLH (250 ns).
Does RS1GLH have a halogen-free construction?
Yes, the RS1GLH uses halogen-free molding compound compliant with IEC 61249-2-21, as documented in the Features section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This applies to the entire RS1xLH family, including RS1GLH, and is verified through material certification. The device also meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements, confirming absence of brominated flame retardants and other restricted halogens.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to lead (RθJL) for RS1GLH?
The RS1GLH has a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 32 °C/W, as published in the Thermal Performance table of the official datasheet. This value is measured under standardized JEDEC conditions and enables accurate PCB copper pad sizing for thermal management. It is significantly lower than junction-to-ambient (RθJA = 105 °C/W), confirming that heat transfer via the leads - not ambient air - dominates thermal performance in properly designed layouts.
