Product details
Overview
RS1KLWH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 800V fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in SOD-123W package, featuring 250 ns reverse recovery time, 1.3 V max forward voltage at 1 A, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability. It serves as a primary AC/DC or DC/DC conversion diode in compact power supplies and lighting drivers.
For engineers reviewing the RS1KLWH datasheet, RS1KLWH pinout, RS1KLWH application, or RS1KLWH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 30 A non-repetitive surge rating, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and SOD-123W low-profile footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
The RS1KLWH employs a glass-passivated single-die silicon junction optimized for fast switching in high-frequency rectification. Its 250 ns trr and 5 µA max reverse leakage at 25 °C support efficient operation in snubber circuits and flyback secondary-side rectification.
Thermally, it delivers RθJL = 25 °C/W and RθJA = 80 °C/W, enabling 1 A continuous conduction in standard PCB layouts without forced airflow. The cathode-band polarity marking and matte tin-plated leads ensure robust solderability per J-STD-002.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - supports input rectification up to 565 V RMS AC or 800 V DC bus applications |
| IF | 1 A continuous - suitable for low-to-medium power SMPS outputs and LED driver return paths |
| trr | 250 ns - enables operation in 100–500 kHz switching converters with minimal switching loss |
| VF max | 1.3 V @ 1 A, 25 °C - limits conduction loss to ≤1.3 W at full rated current |
| IFSM | 30 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands inrush and transient surges common in automotive cold-crank conditions |
| TJ max | 175 °C - allows operation in under-hood environments and sealed enclosures without derating |

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), VF = 1.25 V typ, TO-277A package | Higher thermal mass; requires larger pad area and different reflow profile | Preferred where faster recovery is critical and board space permits TO-277A footprint |
| ES1J | 1 A / 600 V; trr = 35 ns; SOD-123 package (not SOD-123W); no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to 600 V systems; unsuitable for automotive or 800 V bus applications | Cost-sensitive general-purpose use only; not recommended for automotive or high-reliability designs |
Compared with STTH1R08 and ES1J, RS1KLWH uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, 800 V capability, and SOD-123W manufacturability-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial power stages where qualification and voltage margin are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating of RS1KLWH?
The RS1KLWH has a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 800 V. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table on page 2 of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version A2103). It defines the maximum DC or peak AC reverse voltage the device can block continuously without breakdown, making RS1KLWH suitable for 800 V DC bus and 565 V RMS AC applications.
Is RS1KLWH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, RS1KLWH is AEC-Q101 qualified, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This qualification validates its reliability under automotive temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity testing. RS1KLWH is therefore approved for use in automotive lighting, body control modules, and other non-safety-critical vehicle subsystems.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of RS1KLWH, and under what test conditions?
The reverse recovery time (trr) of RS1KLWH is 250 ns, measured under the conditions IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table on page 2 of the datasheet. This parameter confirms its suitability for high-frequency switching applications such as 200–500 kHz DC-DC converters where fast turn-off minimizes switching losses.
What package does RS1KLWH use, and what are its key mechanical attributes?
RS1KLWH uses the SOD-123W package-a low-profile, surface-mount outline with gull-wing leads. Key attributes include 1.0 mm maximum height, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and moisture sensitivity level 1. Its cathode is marked by a visible band, and typical weight is 0.016 g.
Does RS1KLWH have halogen-free and RoHS compliance documentation?
Yes, RS1KLWH is both RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as confirmed in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. These compliance statements are part of the official product specification and apply directly to RS1KLWH-not just the family-and are verified through material declarations and third-party testing.
