Product details
Overview
RS1KLH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a fast recovery surface mount rectifier with 800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 0.8 A average forward current (IF), and 500 ns reverse recovery time (trr), designed for freewheeling and snubber circuits in automotive lighting and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the RS1KLH datasheet, RS1KLH pinout, RS1KLH application, or RS1KLH equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, Sub SMA package compatibility with automated placement, 150°C max junction temperature, and glass-passivated junction for reliability in harsh environments.
Technical Context
The RS1KLH is a single-die, unidirectional silicon rectifier optimized for fast switching in high-frequency power conversion. Its 500 ns trr enables reduced switching losses in flyback and boost topologies, while the glass-passivated junction ensures stable performance under thermal cycling and humidity stress.
Rated for 800 V VRRM and 30 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM), the device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - supports isolation and blocking in 48 V–400 V DC bus systems |
| IF | 0.8 A - continuous conduction capability for low-power auxiliary rails and LED drivers |
| trr | 500 ns - enables operation up to ~300 kHz in hard-switched converters without excessive loss |
| TJ max | +150 °C - allows deployment in under-hood automotive modules without derating at ambient ≤105 °C |
| RθJA | 105 °C/W - requires minimal copper area (≥25 mm²) on standard FR-4 for thermal compliance at full load |
| VR(RMS) | 560 V - defines maximum continuous AC input voltage in bridge or half-wave configurations |
| IFSM | 30 A - withstands inrush and transient surges in automotive cold-crank and load-dump conditions |
Pinout & Package

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 | 800 V VRRM, 1 A IF, 75 ns trr, DO-214AC package | Higher IF and faster trr, but larger footprint and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Preferred where higher current or tighter timing is needed, but not for automotive production |
| ON Semi MUR108 | 800 V VRRM, 1 A IF, 75 ns trr, DO-41 through-hole | Faster recovery and higher current, but through-hole mounting limits automation and thermal performance | Suitable for prototyping or legacy through-hole designs; not recommended for new SMT automotive layouts |
Compared with STTH1R08 and MUR108, the RS1KLH trades speed and current headroom for AEC-Q101 compliance, Sub SMA compactness, and moisture-insensitive assembly-making it optimal for volume automotive SMT production where reliability and process compatibility outweigh raw performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for RS1KLH?
The RS1KLH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +150°C, verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This rating allows the RS1KLH to operate reliably in under-hood automotive environments without thermal derating when mounted on ≥25 mm² copper pour. The device's RθJA of 105°C/W defines the thermal interface requirement for maintaining TJ ≤150°C at 0.8 A DC load.
Is RS1KLH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, RS1KLH is AEC-Q101 qualified, with test reports covering HTGB, HTRB, temperature cycling, and ESD per JESD47. Its glass-passivated junction, moisture sensitivity level 1, and halogen-free construction meet automotive manufacturing and field reliability requirements. RS1KLH is commonly deployed in car lighting and body control modules where such qualification is mandatory.
What does the 'K' in RS1KLH indicate?
The 'K' in RS1KLH denotes the 800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) rating, per TSC's ordering code convention: A=50V, B=100V, D=200V, G=400V, J=600V, K=800V, M=1000V. This coding is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the RS1ALH–RS1MLH datasheet (Version A2103), where RS1KLH is explicitly listed with VRRM = 800 V.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of RS1KLH and how is it measured?
The RS1KLH has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 500 ns, measured under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A per JEDEC standards. This value is specified in the Electrical Specifications table on page 2 of the RS1ALH–RS1MLH datasheet (Version A2103). The test circuit and waveform definitions are shown in Figure 6 of the same document.
Does RS1KLH have a halogen-free and RoHS-compliant construction?
Yes, RS1KLH is both RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. These attributes are explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the RS1ALH–RS1MLH datasheet (Version A2103). The molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and terminals are matte tin plated to J-STD-002 standards-ensuring environmental compliance and solder joint integrity.
