Product details
Overview
RS1MLWH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 A, 1000 V 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 output rectifier in high-voltage power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the RS1MLWH datasheet, RS1MLWH pinout, RS1MLWH application, or RS1MLWH equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage rating (1000 V), thermal resistance (RθJL = 25 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +175 °C), and SOD-123W mechanical compatibility with automated placement systems.
Technical Context
The RS1MLWH implements a single-die, glass-passivated PN junction optimized for fast recovery (250 ns) under 0.5 A forward / 1.0 A reverse switching conditions. Its 1000 V VRRM and 30 A IFSM support robust surge handling in transient-prone automotive and industrial environments.
Thermally, it delivers RθJL = 25 °C/W and RθJA = 80 °C/W in SOD-123W, enabling 1 A continuous operation up to +125 °C ambient when mounted on standard PCB copper area, with derating to zero at +175 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - supports input rectification in 800 VAC line-derived or high-voltage DC bus applications |
| IF | 1 A continuous - suitable for low-to-medium power SMPS outputs up to ~12 W at 12 V |
| trr | 250 ns - enables efficient operation in 100–500 kHz switching converters with reduced switching loss |
| VF max | 1.3 V @ 1 A, 25°C - limits conduction loss to ≤1.3 W at full load, easing thermal design |
| IR | 5 µA @ 25°C, 150 µA @ 125°C - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance snubber or hold-up circuits |
| RθJL | 25 °C/W - allows direct heat transfer to PCB copper, supporting compact layout without heatsink |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD-123W - low-profile, surface-mount plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 rated molding compound, and cathode band polarity marking. Weight: 0.016 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., transformer secondary center-tap or switch node) |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail; cathode band identifies this terminal visually and on PCB silkscreen |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements - supports under-hood and lighting modules |
| Glass passivated junction | Enhances moisture resistance and long-term reliability in humid or thermally cycled environments |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | Enables standard SMT reflow without baking - reduces manufacturing overhead and risk of popcorning |
| Low profile SOD-123W | 0.9 mm max height - fits space-constrained layouts in LED drivers and automotive ECUs |
Applications
| Automotive LED Headlamp Driver | Industrial DC/DC Converter Output Stage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R06S | Same 1 A / 600 V rating; trr = 150 ns; TO-277 package (larger, higher RθJA) | Lower VRRM limits use to ≤600 V circuits; requires PCB redesign due to different footprint | Select only if 600 V rating suffices and thermal margin permits higher RθJA |
| ON Semi MUR110ES | 1 A / 1000 V; trr = 35 ns; DO-41 through-hole package | Superior speed but incompatible with SMT automation; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Prefer RS1MLWH for automotive SMT production; choose MUR110ES only for prototyping or legacy through-hole designs |
Compared with STTH1R06S and MUR110ES, the RS1MLWH uniquely combines 1000 V rating, AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD-123W SMT compatibility, and 250 ns recovery-making it optimal for volume automotive and industrial surface-mount power conversion where reliability, footprint, and voltage margin are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of the RS1MLWH?
The RS1MLWH 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 A2103). This rating defines its capability to block reverse voltage in applications such as high-line AC/DC inputs or inductive flyback circuits without breakdown. The RS1MLWH is the highest-voltage variant in the RS1xLWH series, distinct from RS1DLWH (200 V) and RS1KLWH (800 V).
Is the RS1MLWH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the RS1MLWH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified per the manufacturer's documentation, confirming its suitability for automotive electronic systems including engine control units, body electronics, and LED lighting modules. This qualification covers stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life - all validated by Taiwan Semiconductor. The RS1MLWH shares this qualification across the RS1xLWH family.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of the RS1MLWH and under what conditions is it measured?
The RS1MLWH has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 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 section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This value applies specifically to RS1KLWH and RS1MLWH variants; lower-voltage versions (e.g., RS1DLWH) specify 150 ns. The test uses pulse conditions defined in Note 2 of the datasheet.
What package type does the RS1MLWH use and what are its key mechanical attributes?
The RS1MLWH uses the SOD-123W surface-mount package: a low-profile, molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Polarity is marked by a cathode band. Its approximate weight is 0.016 g, and it supports automated placement per the manufacturer's mechanical data.
Does the RS1MLWH have RoHS and halogen-free compliance?
Yes, the RS1MLWH is RoHS compliant and halogen-free in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21, as stated in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. These compliance statements apply to the entire RS1xLWH series, including RS1MLWH, and are verified per standard industry testing protocols. No exemptions or exceptions are noted in the official documentation.
