Product details
Overview
RS1GLWH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 400V fast recovery surface-mount rectifier diode in SOD-123W package, featuring glass-passivated junction, AEC-Q101 qualification, and 150 ns reverse recovery time. It delivers low forward voltage (max 1.3 V at 1 A), low leakage (5 µA @ 25°C), and operates up to 175°C junction temperature - ideal for automotive DC-DC converters and LED lighting snubbers.
For engineers reviewing the RS1GLWH datasheet, RS1GLWH pinout, RS1GLWH application, or RS1GLWH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400V VRRM, 30A IFSM, JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, moisture sensitivity level 1, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance per IEC 61249-2-21.
Technical Context
The RS1GLWH is a single-die, unidirectional fast recovery rectifier optimized for high-efficiency switching applications. Its 150 ns trr enables reduced switching losses in 100–500 kHz DC-DC topologies, while the glass-passivated junction ensures stable performance under thermal cycling and humidity stress.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, it meets AEC-Q101 requirements including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and unbiased HAST. The SOD-123W package supports automated placement and provides 25°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance for effective power dissipation in compact layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe blocking capability in 400 V rail systems |
| IF | 1 A continuous - rated average forward current at TL = 75°C; supports sustained conduction in low-power SMPS |
| IFSM | 30 A - peak non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine); handles inrush and transient overloads |
| trr | 150 ns - measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables efficient operation in medium-frequency converters |
| VF | ≤1.3 V at IF = 1 A, TJ = 25°C - low conduction loss improves system efficiency and reduces thermal load |
| RθJL | 25 °C/W - junction-to-lead thermal resistance; allows direct PCB copper pour heat sinking without heatsink |
| TJ max | +175 °C - extended junction temperature rating supports under-hood automotive environments |

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 MUR140SFT1G | Same SOD-123 package, 400 V VRRM, but trr = 50 ns (faster), VF = 1.25 V (slightly lower) | Better suited for >1 MHz switching; higher cost and tighter tolerance control | Select when ultra-fast recovery is required and layout allows tighter thermal management |
| Vishay VS-1N4937-M3/54 | SOD-123W package, 400 V VRRM, but trr = 200 ns (slower), VF = 1.35 V (higher), no AEC-Q101 qualification | General-purpose industrial use only; not validated for automotive temperature cycling or humidity stress | Select for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with MUR140SFT1G and VS-1N4937-M3/54, the RS1GLWH offers balanced performance: AEC-Q101 qualification and 150 ns trr make it optimal for automotive-grade 100–300 kHz converters, while its 1.3 V VF and 25°C/W RθJL support robust thermal design without premium pricing.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for RS1GLWH?
The RS1GLWH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +175°C, verified per AEC-Q101 test conditions. This allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings. Derating curves in the datasheet specify allowable forward current reduction above 75°C lead temperature. The RS1GLWH maintains stable electrical parameters across its full –55°C to +175°C operating range.
Is RS1GLWH suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, RS1GLWH is AEC-Q101 qualified and tested for temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and unbiased HAST. Its glass-passivated junction, moisture sensitivity level 1, and halogen-free construction meet automotive manufacturing and reliability requirements. The RS1GLWH is widely deployed in automotive DC-DC converters, LED lighting, and body control modules where robustness under thermal and humidity stress is essential.
What does the 'G' in RS1GLWH indicate?
The 'G' in RS1GLWH denotes the 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) rating within the RS1xLWH family. Per the ordering table, RS1DLWH = 200 V, RS1GLWH = 400 V, RS1JLWH = 600 V, RS1KLWH = 800 V, and RS1MLWH = 1000 V. The 'LWH' suffix indicates SOD-123W packaging and tape-and-reel delivery (10,000 units per reel). The RS1GLWH marking code on the device is RGLW.
How does RS1GLWH compare to general-purpose rectifiers like 1N4007?
RS1GLWH is a fast recovery rectifier with 150 ns trr, whereas 1N4007 has ~30 µs recovery - over 200× slower. RS1GLWH's 1.3 V VF and 400 V VRRM are optimized for switching power supplies; 1N4007's 1.1 V VF is rated at 1 A but degrades rapidly above 100 kHz. RS1GLWH also features AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD-123W surface-mount compatibility, and automotive-grade reliability - none of which apply to 1N4007.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA) for RS1GLWH?
The RS1GLWH has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 80°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions (single-layer 1 in² copper pad). However, its junction-to-lead resistance (RθJL) is 25°C/W - meaning thermal performance improves significantly when leads are soldered to large copper pours or internal layers. For accurate thermal modeling, use the RθJL value with measured lead temperature, as specified in the RS1GLWH datasheet.
