Product details
Overview
RS1GLW from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 400V fast recovery surface-mount rectifier diode in SOD-123W package, featuring 150 ns reverse recovery time, 1.3 V max forward voltage at 1 A, and 5 µA max reverse leakage at 25°C. It serves as a primary output rectifier in DC-DC converters and switching-mode power supplies requiring high efficiency and low profile.
For engineers reviewing the RS1GLW datasheet, RS1GLW pinout, RS1GLW application, or RS1GLW equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (400 V), thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), moisture sensitivity level (J-STD-020 Level 1), RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and compatibility with automated SMT placement.
Technical Context
The RS1GLW employs a glass-passivated silicon junction to ensure stable reverse blocking and fast recovery performance. Its single-die construction and SOD-123W low-profile package support high-density PCB layouts while maintaining robust thermal dissipation via direct lead conduction.
Designed for operation across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature range, the RS1GLW delivers consistent forward conduction and minimal reverse leakage (≤150 µA at 125°C) under transient thermal stress-critical for reliability in switching converters and inverters operating near thermal limits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage the device blocks without breakdown; defines safe operating ceiling in 400 V-rated power rails. |
| IF | 1 A continuous - Rated average forward current; supports sustained 1 A DC output in compact SMPS designs. |
| trr | 150 ns - Measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables high-frequency switching (>1 MHz) with low switching loss. |
| VF (max) | 1.3 V @ 1 A, 25°C - Directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in rectification stage; lower than standard PN diodes. |
| RθJL | 25 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper, supporting >0.8 W power dissipation at rated IF. |
| IR (max) | 5 µA @ 25°C, 400 V - Low leakage preserves efficiency in standby and light-load conditions; critical for energy-efficient converters. |
Pinout & Package
SOD-123W is a low-profile, surface-mount plastic package with two terminals: anode and cathode. Polarity is marked by a visible cathode band on the body. Leads are matte tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connects to input/switching node side of rectifier circuit; must withstand full surge current (IFSM = 30 A). |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connects to output filter capacitor; polarity marking ensures correct orientation during automated placement and prevents reverse bias failure. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MUR140 | Same 1 A / 400 V rating, but TO-220AC package (larger, through-hole); trr = 50 ns (faster), VF = 1.25 V (slightly lower). | Requires PCB redesign for through-hole mounting; better suited for higher-power, lower-frequency (<50 kHz) designs with heatsinking. | Select when board-level thermal management permits larger footprint and faster recovery is prioritized over SMT automation. |
| Vishay VS-1N4937-M3/54 | SOD-123 package (not SOD-123W); same 1 A / 400 V, but trr = 200 ns (slower), VF = 1.3 V, RθJA = 125 °C/W (higher thermal resistance). | Limited to lower ambient temperatures or derated current due to inferior thermal performance; no J-STD-020 Level 1 rating. | Consider only if SOD-123W footprint is unavailable and thermal margin exceeds 20°C at 0.7 A. |
Compared with MUR140 and VS-1N4937-M3/54, the RS1GLW uniquely balances SMT manufacturability (SOD-123W, Level 1), mid-speed recovery (150 ns), and industry-leading thermal resistance (25 °C/W), making it optimal for compact, high-volume 1 A switching power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating for RS1GLW?
The RS1GLW has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 400 V. This rating defines the highest reverse voltage the diode can block repeatedly without avalanche breakdown under normal operating conditions. It is verified per JEDEC test standards and applies across the full operating temperature range (–55°C to +175°C). Designers must ensure system transient voltages remain below this value with appropriate safety margin.
Does RS1GLW support automated surface-mount assembly without moisture preconditioning?
Yes, RS1GLW is rated J-STD-020 Level 1 for moisture sensitivity, meaning it may be stored and processed in standard factory environments without dry packing or baking prior to reflow soldering. This eliminates handling steps and reduces risk of popcorning during assembly-critical for high-throughput SMT lines producing power supplies and adapters using RS1GLW.
What is the typical forward voltage drop of RS1GLW at rated current?
The RS1GLW exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.3 V at 1 A forward current and 25°C junction temperature. Typical VF is lower, but design calculations should use the 1.3 V maximum to ensure worst-case conduction loss and thermal margin. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) to avoid self-heating effects during testing.
How does the thermal performance of RS1GLW compare to standard SOD-123 rectifiers?
RS1GLW achieves a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 25 °C/W-significantly lower than typical SOD-123 devices (~45–60 °C/W)-due to its SOD-123W enhanced leadframe design. This allows RS1GLW to dissipate ~0.85 W at 1 A with ≤25°C temperature rise above lead temperature, improving reliability in thermally dense layouts where RS1GLW is used.
Is RS1GLW halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, RS1GLW is fully RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives, and all homogeneous materials meet EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. This certification is documented in TSC's material declarations and applies to all production lots of RS1GLW.
