Product details
Overview
RS1KH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 800V fast recovery surface-mount rectifier diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring 500 ns reverse recovery time, 1.3 V max forward voltage at 1 A, and 5 µA max reverse leakage at 25°C - used in automotive snubber circuits and DC-DC converters requiring high-voltage transient suppression.
For engineers reviewing the RS1KH datasheet, RS1KH pinout, RS1KH application, or RS1KH equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage (800 V), thermal resistance (RθJA = 105 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +175 °C), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reliability validation.
Technical Context
The RS1KH operates as a single-die, unidirectional fast recovery rectifier with glass-passivated junction for enhanced moisture resistance and long-term stability under thermal cycling. Its 500 ns trr enables efficient switching in high-frequency flyback and snubber topologies where diode recovery losses must be minimized.
Designed for automated SMT placement, it meets J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance standards. The DO-214AC (SMA) package supports 30 A non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine) and maintains rated performance up to 175 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe blocking capability in 400–600 V DC bus applications |
| IF | 1 A continuous - average forward current rating at TA = 75 °C with PCB pad area per JEDEC standard |
| trr | 500 ns - measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; critical for minimizing switching loss in 100–500 kHz converters |
| VF (max) | 1.3 V @ 1 A, 25 °C - directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in high-duty-cycle rectification |
| RθJA | 105 °C/W - junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR-4 with 1-inch² copper pad; determines heatsinking requirement |
| IFSM | 30 A - peak surge current handling for line transients or startup inrush without failure |
| Junction temp | –55 to +175 °C - extended operating range enables under-hood automotive use without derating |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package with cathode indicated by molded band; two-terminal device (anode and cathode) with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R08 | Same 1 A / 800 V rating; trr = 150 ns (faster), but RθJA = 120 °C/W (worse thermal performance) | Better for ultra-high-frequency SMPS; less suitable for thermally constrained automotive modules | Choose STTH1R08 only if trr < 200 ns is mandatory and thermal margin allows higher RθJA |
| ON Semi MUR108 | 1 A / 800 V; trr = 75 ns, VF = 1.7 V (higher conduction loss), AEC-Q101 not claimed | Preferred in cost-sensitive industrial supplies; not qualified for automotive use | Select MUR108 for non-automotive applications where lowest trr outweighs VF penalty and qualification needs |
Compared with STTH1R08 and MUR108, the RS1KH uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, 500 ns trr, and 105 °C/W thermal resistance - making it optimal for automotive power modules where reliability, thermal headroom, and moderate switching speed are jointly prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for RS1KH?
The RS1KH has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of +175 °C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official datasheet. This rating allows sustained operation in under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures. Derating begins above 75 °C ambient, and the device maintains full 1 A current capability up to 125 °C case temperature when mounted on recommended PCB copper area. RS1KH's thermal design must account for RθJA = 105 °C/W to avoid exceeding this limit.
Is RS1KH pin-compatible with other devices in the RS1xH series?
Yes, all RS1xH series devices - including RS1AH through RS1MH - share identical DO-214AC (SMA) package dimensions, pinout, and thermal pad layout. The RS1KH uses the same anode/cathode terminal configuration and marking orientation as RS1JH and RS1MH. This enables direct substitution within the same voltage grade group (e.g., 600–1000 V variants) without PCB redesign, provided voltage and recovery time requirements align.
Does RS1KH meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, RS1KH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified per the manufacturer's documentation. This includes passing stress tests for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and electrostatic discharge (ESD). The qualification applies to the full RS1xH family, and RS1KH's lot traceability, burn-in, and wafer-level screening follow automotive-grade protocols - confirming suitability for safety-critical vehicle subsystems like lighting and body control modules.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for RS1KH?
The RS1KH has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 500 ns, measured under standardized conditions: IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table of the official datasheet and distinguishes RS1KH from lower-voltage variants (e.g., RS1JH at 250 ns). The 500 ns trr balances switching speed and softness for reduced EMI in automotive snubber applications.
Can RS1KH replace a 1N4007 in high-frequency designs?
No - RS1KH is not a direct replacement for 1N4007 in high-frequency designs due to fundamental differences in recovery behavior. While both are 1 A rectifiers, the 1N4007 is a general-purpose slow recovery diode (trr > 2 µs), whereas RS1KH is a fast recovery device (trr = 500 ns). Substituting RS1KH for 1N4007 in legacy 50/60 Hz transformer supplies offers no benefit and may increase cost unnecessarily; however, RS1KH is the correct upgrade for any design moving to >20 kHz switching where 1N4007 would overheat or fail.
