Product details
Overview
RS1KLW from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 800V fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in SOD-123W package, featuring 250ns reverse recovery time, 1.3V max forward voltage at 1A, and 5µA max reverse leakage at 25°C, used in DC-DC converters and switching-mode inverters.
For engineers reviewing the RS1KLW datasheet, RS1KLW pinout, RS1KLW application, or RS1KLW equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM=800V, trr=250ns, VF≤1.3V, IR≤5µA at 25°C, and SOD-123W thermal performance (RθJA=80°C/W).
Technical Context
The RS1KLW is a single-die, glass-passivated silicon PN junction rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications. Its 800V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 250ns reverse recovery time enable efficient operation in SMPS topologies where rapid turn-off minimizes switching losses.
Thermally, it supports continuous operation up to TJ=175°C with RθJL=25°C/W and RθJA=80°C/W, and its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements. Polarity is marked by a cathode band on the SOD-123W case.

Applications
| DC-DC Converters | Switching Inverters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated flyback or forward converters operating at 100–300 kHz.

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 | VRRM=800V, trr=150ns, VF=1.15V typ @ 1A, TO-277A package | Lower trr improves high-frequency efficiency but requires larger footprint and manual rework compatibility | Preferred where <200ns trr is mandatory and board space allows TO-277A mounting |
| ES1J | VRRM=600V, trr=35ns, VF=1.7V max @ 1A, SMA package | Lower voltage rating limits use to ≤400 VAC input systems; faster trr trades off higher VF | Suitable for cost-sensitive 600V-class designs where ultra-fast recovery outweighs conduction loss penalty |
Compared with STTH1R08 and ES1J, the RS1KLW offers optimal balance of 800V rating, 250ns trr, and SOD-123W manufacturability-making it ideal for automated, space-constrained 1A SMPS where thermal margin and RoHS compliance are prioritized over sub-200ns speed.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for RS1KLW?
The RS1KLW has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 800 V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version C2103). This rating defines the highest reverse voltage the RS1KLW can block repeatedly without breakdown under normal operating conditions and is critical for selecting appropriate input voltage derating margins in offline power supplies.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for RS1KLW?
The RS1KLW has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 250 ns, measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, per the Electrical Specifications section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This value applies specifically to RS1KLW and RS1MLW variants, distinguishing them from faster 150 ns variants like RS1DLW–RS1JLW, and directly impacts switching loss in high-frequency SMPS designs.
Is RS1KLW RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the RS1KLW is RoHS compliant and halogen-free in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor RS1DLW–RS1MLW datasheet (Version C2103). This compliance is verified for the SOD-123W package configuration shipped under the RS1KLW ordering code and supports environmental requirements for industrial and consumer end equipment.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA) for RS1KLW?
The RS1KLW has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 80 °C/W, specified under standard test conditions (TA = 25°C) in the Thermal Performance section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer PCB mounting and guides heatsink or copper pour design to maintain TJ ≤ 175°C at 1 A DC forward current.
What marking code appears on the RS1KLW device body?
The RS1KLW is marked with "RKLW" on its SOD-123W case, as shown in the Mechanical Data and Ordering Information sections of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This 4-character laser marking distinguishes it from other members of the RS1xLW family (e.g., RDLW, RGLW) and confirms the 800 V VRRM rating during visual inspection or automated optical verification.
