Product details
Overview
RS1KLS from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1.2A, 800V fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in SOD-123HE package, designed for high-efficiency DC-DC conversion and switching-mode power supplies with low forward voltage (≤1.3V at 1.2A) and fast reverse recovery (≤300ns). It operates from −55°C to +175°C junction temperature and supports 50A surge current.
For engineers reviewing the RS1KLS datasheet, RS1KLS pinout, RS1KLS application, or RS1KLS equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (800V), thermal resistance (RθJA = 80°C/W), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial and automotive-grade power designs.
Technical Context
The RS1KLS is a single-die, unidirectional silicon rectifier optimized for fast switching in high-frequency SMPS topologies. Its 300ns reverse recovery time and 1.3V max forward voltage at 1.2A enable reduced conduction and switching losses compared to standard recovery diodes.
Thermally, it features RθJL = 20°C/W to lead and RθJA = 80°C/W to ambient, supporting compact PCB layouts. The SOD-123HE package includes matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines usable input voltage range in offline or boost converters |
| IF | 1.2 A continuous - Rated average forward current at TA = 75°C; determines steady-state power handling capability |
| IFSM | 50 A - Peak surge current (8.3ms half-sine); supports inrush and transient overload without failure |
| VF | ≤1.3 V at IF = 1.2A, TJ = 25°C - Low conduction loss improves system efficiency and reduces heatsink requirements |
| trr | ≤300 ns - Fast recovery minimizes switching losses and EMI in >100kHz converters |
| TJ max | +175°C - High junction temperature rating enables operation in thermally constrained environments |
| RθJA | 80 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to ambient; used to calculate temperature rise under given power dissipation |
Pinout & Package
SOD-123HE surface-mount package with cathode-indicated band; compact footprint (2.60 × 1.40 mm), 0.022g weight, UL 94V-0 molding compound, and matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L06S | VRRM = 600V, IF = 1A, trr = 150ns, SOD-123 package | Lower voltage rating and current; faster recovery but less rugged surge capability | Select when 600V system margin suffices and ultra-fast recovery is prioritized over surge robustness |
| SB180 | VRRM = 800V, IF = 1A, trr ≈ 500ns, DO-214AA package | Larger through-hole package; slower recovery; higher VF (~1.55V) | Choose only if board layout requires axial/DO-214AA footprint and thermal budget allows higher conduction loss |
Compared with STTH1L06S and SB180, the RS1KLS uniquely balances 800V blocking, 1.2A current, 300ns recovery, and SOD-123HE compactness-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability 48–400V DC-DC systems where MSL 1 and 175°C operation are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for RS1KLS?
The RS1KLS has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +175°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version E2304). This rating allows reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as under-hood automotive locations or enclosed industrial power supplies. Derating curves confirm sustained 1.2A current capability up to 125°C case temperature. The RS1KLS must be mounted on appropriate copper area to maintain this limit under full load.
Does RS1KLS have a specified moisture sensitivity level (MSL)?
Yes, RS1KLS is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life and does not require dry-packaging or baking prior to reflow soldering. This is confirmed in the "Features" section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (E2304). The SOD-123HE package construction and lead finish meet all MSL 1 requirements, enabling direct use in high-volume automated SMT lines without process modification. RS1KLS shares this MSL rating with the entire RS1xLS series.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of RS1KLS and under what test conditions?
The RS1KLS reverse recovery time is ≤300 ns, measured under the condition: IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, IRR = 0.25A, per the Electrical Specifications table in the Taiwan Semiconductor RS1JLS–RS1MLS datasheet (E2304). This value is typical for fast recovery diodes in the SOD-123HE form factor and directly impacts switching loss in high-frequency converters. The RS1KLS achieves this performance while maintaining 800V VRRM and 1.2A IF ratings.
Is RS1KLS RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, RS1KLS is both RoHS compliant and halogen-free, as explicitly stated in the "Features" section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (E2304). Compliance is verified per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and IEC 61249-2-21:2011. The molding compound, lead finish, and internal materials meet strict restrictions on lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, PBDE, and chlorine/bromine content. RS1KLS is suitable for export to EU, Japan, and other regulated markets requiring full substance declarations.
What marking code appears on the RS1KLS device body?
The RS1KLS is marked with "RKLS" on its cathode-banded surface, as defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (E2304). This 4-character laser marking distinguishes it from RS1JLS (RJLS) and RS1MLS (RMLS) within the same SOD-123HE family. The marking is located adjacent to the cathode band and remains legible after standard reflow and cleaning processes. Visual inspection of "RKLS" confirms correct variant identification during incoming quality checks or field replacement.
