Product details
Overview
RS1KL from Taiwan Semiconductor is a fast recovery surface mount rectifier diode with 800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 0.8 A average forward current (IF), and 500 ns reverse recovery time (trr), designed for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and switching-mode power supplies operating at elevated frequencies.
For engineers reviewing the RS1KL datasheet, RS1KL pinout, RS1KL application, or RS1KL equivalent, key selection criteria include its Sub SMA package compatibility, 30 A non-repetitive surge rating (IFSM), 1.3 V max forward voltage at 0.8 A, 5 µA max reverse leakage at 25°C, and junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C.
Technical Context
The RS1KL operates as a single-die, unidirectional silicon rectifier with glass-passivated junction for enhanced reliability and moisture resistance (J-STD-020 Level 1). Its fast recovery characteristic enables reduced switching losses in high-frequency SMPS topologies.
Thermally, it features a junction-to-lead resistance of 32°C/W and junction-to-ambient resistance of 105°C/W, supporting operation up to 150°C junction temperature with appropriate PCB copper area per the Sub SMA pad layout recommendation.
Key Specifications

| VRRM | 800 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines usable input voltage range in offline or high-voltage DC-DC stages |
| IF | 0.8 A - Continuous average forward current; determines steady-state power handling capability with derating above 75°C ambient |
| trr | 500 ns - Measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables efficient operation in 100–500 kHz switchers |
| VF (max) | 1.3 V @ 0.8 A, 25°C - Directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design in high-duty-cycle applications |
| IR (max) | 5 µA @ 25°C, rated VR - Low leakage supports stable biasing and low standby power in auxiliary rails |
| RθJL | 32 °C/W - Enables direct thermal path to PCB copper; critical for thermal management without heatsink in space-constrained layouts |

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 VRRM (800 V), slightly lower trr (350 ns), higher IF (1.0 A), DO-214AC package | DO-214AC has larger footprint and higher RθJA; requires PCB layout revision | Select when higher average current or faster recovery is prioritized over board space |
| MBR0580 | Schottky structure, lower VF (~0.85 V), but only 80 V VRRM, not suitable for 800 V blocking | Only viable in low-voltage secondary-side applications; cannot replace RS1KL in primary-side or high-VR positions | Use only where reverse voltage ≤ 80 V and ultra-low conduction loss is critical |
Compared with STTH1R08 and MBR0580, the RS1KL offers optimal balance of 800 V blocking, Sub SMA compactness, and 500 ns recovery for cost-sensitive industrial and adapter designs-without requiring layout changes or sacrificing voltage margin.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for RS1KL?
The RS1KL has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, with a storage temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. This allows reliable operation in demanding industrial environments such as motor drives and outdoor power supplies. Thermal design must account for its 32°C/W junction-to-lead resistance and recommended Sub SMA pad layout to maintain safe operating limits under full load. The RS1KL datasheet specifies derating curves for forward current above 75°C ambient.
Does RS1KL have a specified reverse recovery time, and how is it measured?
Yes, RS1KL has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 500 ns, measured under standardized conditions: IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A, at TJ = 25°C. This parameter is critical for minimizing switching losses in high-frequency converters. The RS1KL's trr is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table on page 2 of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet N2103.
What package type does RS1KL use, and what are its key mechanical properties?
RS1KL uses the Sub SMA package-a compact surface-mount outline with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Its molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and polarity is marked by a cathode band. At approximately 0.019 g, the RS1KL supports high-speed automated placement and reflow without tombstoning.
Is RS1KL RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, RS1KL is fully RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Taiwan Semiconductor certifies this compliance in the product documentation (Version N2103), confirming absence of brominated flame retardants and restricted substances. This makes RS1KL suitable for export-controlled and environmentally regulated applications including EU-based industrial equipment and telecom infrastructure.
What is the forward voltage drop of RS1KL at rated current?
The RS1KL has a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.3 V at IF = 0.8 A and TJ = 25°C, measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms). This value directly affects conduction loss and thermal performance in continuous operation. At elevated junction temperatures, VF decreases slightly due to semiconductor physics, but system-level design should use the 1.3 V max for worst-case loss calculation. The RS1KL datasheet lists this in the Electrical Specifications table.
