Product details
Overview
RS2AAHM2G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1.5A, 50V fast recovery surface-mount rectifier diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring 150 ns reverse recovery time, 1.3 V max forward voltage at 1.5 A, and 5 µA max reverse leakage at 25°C - used in DC-DC converters and snubber circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RS2AAHM2G datasheet, RS2AAHM2G pinout, RS2AAHM2G application, or RS2AAHM2G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (50 V), thermal resistance (RθJL = 18 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +175 °C), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This single-die, glass-passivated fast recovery rectifier operates with low forward voltage drop and tightly controlled reverse recovery characteristics, enabling high-efficiency switching in medium-frequency SMPS topologies. Its DO-214AC (SMA) package supports automated placement and meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1.
The device delivers 50 A non-repetitive surge current capability and maintains stable reverse leakage (<200 µA at 125°C), making it suitable for transient-prone input rectification and clamp/snubber functions where thermal robustness and fast turn-off are critical.

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying transformer secondary output in isolated flyback or forward converters operating at 100–250 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power rectifier converting AC to DC; conducts during positive half-cycle and blocks reverse voltage during reset. Use Value: 150 ns trr minimizes reverse recovery charge (Qrr), reducing switching loss and MOSFET stress compared to 500 ns general-purpose diodes. | Use Scenario: Placed across switching FET or transformer winding to absorb inductive energy spikes during turn-off. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp diode providing low-impedance path for stored energy; requires fast turn-on and low VF to limit voltage overshoot. Use Value: 1.3 V VF max and 50 A IFSM enable effective clamping without thermal runaway during repeated transients. |
| Lighting Driver Secondary Side | Switching Mode Inverter Output Stage |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in LED driver PSUs with constant-current regulation and PFC front-end. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Final-stage rectifier delivering regulated DC to LED string; operates continuously under 1.5 A load. Use Value: RθJL = 18 °C/W allows direct thermal coupling to copper pour, maintaining TJ < 125°C at full load without forced air. | Use Scenario: Output bridge rectification in 200–400 W inverters for solar micro-inverters or UPS systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability rectifier handling bidirectional current surges and elevated ambient temperatures. Use Value: –55 to +175°C TJ range and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance ensure stable performance over 10+ year field life. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L06U (STMicroelectronics) | Same 1.5 A / 600 V rating but higher VF (1.7 V typ), slower trr (200 ns), DO-214AC package | Higher conduction loss limits use in high-efficiency <100 kHz designs; better suited for 600 V systems | Select when VRRM > 50 V is required and 150 ns trr is not critical |
| MBRS1540T3G (ON Semiconductor) | Schottky diode: 1.5 A / 40 V, VF = 0.55 V typ, no reverse recovery, but VRRM limited to 40 V | No Qrr loss, but unsuitable for 50 V blocking; requires derating for surge margin | Choose only if system VRRM ≤ 40 V and ultra-low VF is prioritized over blocking capability |
Compared with STTH1L06U and MBRS1540T3G, RS2AAHM2G uniquely balances 50 V blocking, 150 ns speed, and 1.3 V VF in a cost-effective SMA package - making it optimal for compact, thermally constrained 50 V DC-DC and snubber designs where both efficiency and reliability are essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for RS2AAHM2G?
The RS2AAHM2G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +175°C and a minimum of –55°C. This wide operating range allows deployment in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial power supplies or automotive under-hood auxiliary converters. The RS2AAHM2G's thermal design leverages its 18 °C/W junction-to-lead resistance to maintain safe operation without additional heatsinking when mounted on adequate copper area.
Is RS2AAHM2G suitable for use in snubber circuits?
Yes, RS2AAHM2G is explicitly recommended for snubber applications due to its 150 ns reverse recovery time and 50 A peak surge rating. Its fast turn-off minimizes energy dissipation during clamping events, while the 1.3 V forward voltage ensures low voltage overshoot across inductive loads. The RS2AAHM2G's glass-passivated junction also enhances long-term stability under repetitive transient stress typical in snubber networks.
Does RS2AAHM2G meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, RS2AAHM2G is fully RoHS compliant and halogen-free per manufacturer documentation. It satisfies IPC-1752A material declarations and uses green molding compound meeting UL 94V-0 flammability standards. These attributes make RS2AAHM2G suitable for export-compliant industrial and consumer electronics where environmental regulations apply.
What is the marking code printed on the RS2AAHM2G device body?
The RS2AAHM2G is marked with "RS2AA" on the device body, followed by date code and factory identifier per the manufacturer's marking diagram. This matches the ordering code convention where "AA" denotes the 50 V VRRM variant within the RS2xx family. The cathode is clearly indicated by a band adjacent to the marking, confirming polarity for correct PCB layout orientation.
How does RS2AAHM2G compare to standard recovery rectifiers in switching applications?
RS2AAHM2G offers significantly faster reverse recovery (150 ns vs. 2–5 µs) and lower forward voltage (1.3 V max vs. 1.5–2.0 V) than standard recovery rectifiers, reducing both conduction and switching losses in 100–300 kHz SMPS. Unlike standard types, RS2AAHM2G's glass passivation and J-STD-020 Level 1 rating also support reliable reflow assembly - making RS2AAHM2G a drop-in upgrade for efficiency-critical, high-volume power designs.
