Product details
Overview
RS1MALH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 1000V fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in Thin SMA package, featuring 500ns reverse recovery time, 1.04V forward voltage at 1.0A/25°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability in DC/DC converters and snubber circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RS1MALH datasheet, RS1MALH pinout, RS1MALH application, or RS1MALH equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage (1000V), surge current capability (30A @ 8.3ms), junction temperature range (–55°C to +175°C), thermal resistance (RθJL = 19°C/W), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance.
Technical Context
The RS1MALH is a single-die, glass-passivated fast recovery rectifier optimized for high-efficiency switching applications. Its 1000V VRRM, 500ns trr, and low-profile Thin SMA package enable compact, thermally robust designs in automotive and industrial power supplies.
Designed for freewheeling and snubber use, it delivers stable performance across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature with 19°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance when mounted on a 5mm × 5mm copper pad - critical for sustained 1A conduction under transient loads.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R06 | 1A, 600V VRRM, 150ns trr, TO-277 package | Limited to ≤600V systems; higher switching speed but lower voltage margin | Prefer where 600V rating suffices and faster recovery is prioritized over voltage headroom |
| ES1J-M3/84A | 1A, 600V VRRM, 35ns trr, SMA package | Ultra-fast but half the reverse voltage rating; not suitable for 800–1000V bus applications | Select only when system VR stays below 420V RMS and sub-50ns recovery is mandatory |
Compared with STTH1R06 and ES1J-M3/84A, the RS1MALH trades switching speed for guaranteed 1000V operation and AEC-Q101 qualification - making it the sole choice for automotive 800V platforms and industrial 1000V DC link snubbing where voltage margin and qualification outweigh raw speed.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of the RS1MALH?
The RS1MALH has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 1000 V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version C2304). This rating applies across the full operating junction temperature range and defines the highest reverse voltage the device can block continuously without breakdown. The RS1MALH is the highest-voltage variant in the RS1xALH series, with RS1DALH at 200V and incremental steps up to RS1MALH.
Is the RS1MALH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the RS1MALH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified per the manufacturer's documentation. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - confirming suitability for under-hood and powertrain-related automotive electronics. The RS1MALH datasheet states "AEC-Q101 qualified" as a primary feature, and its thermal and surge ratings align with automotive design requirements.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of the RS1MALH at 1.0A and 25°C?
The forward voltage (VF) of the RS1MALH is 1.04 V at 1.0A and 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. At 125°C and 1.0A, VF drops to 0.90 V (max), reflecting the negative temperature coefficient of silicon PN junctions. These values are measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) to avoid self-heating effects, ensuring accuracy for switching power supply design calculations.
What package type does the RS1MALH use, and what are its key mechanical attributes?
The RS1MALH uses the Thin SMA package (JEDEC DO-221AC variation), with dimensions of 4.40 × 2.70 × 1.45 mm (L × W × H), cathode band marking, matte tin-plated leads, and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020. Its low profile and 0.029g weight support automated placement and high-density PCB layouts, while the UL 94V-0 molding compound ensures flame resistance in safety-critical applications.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of the RS1MALH, and how does it compare to lower-voltage variants in the same family?
The RS1MALH has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 500 ns, measured at IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, and Irr = 0.25A. This is longer than RS1DALH–RS1JALH (150–250 ns) due to the trade-off between higher voltage rating and carrier lifetime control. The 500 ns value remains suitable for switching frequencies up to ~200 kHz in practical power converter designs using this device.
