Product details
Overview
RS2B-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 100 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 1.5 A average rectified current, surface-mount fast recovery rectifier in SMA package with 150 ns reverse recovery time, 1.3 V forward voltage at 1.5 A, and 50 A non-repetitive surge rating - used in AC/DC input stage of compact switch-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the RS2B-13 datasheet, RS2B-13 pinout, RS2B-13 application, or RS2B-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery time for high-frequency efficiency, thermal resistance for board-level heat dissipation, forward voltage drop impact on conduction loss, and UL 94V-0 flammability compliance for safety-critical designs.
Technical Context
This device is a glass-passivated silicon junction diode optimized for fast switching in offline SMPS front-end rectification. Its 150 ns trr enables operation up to ~100 kHz without excessive switching loss, while the 20 K/W junction-to-terminal thermal resistance requires ≥5 mm² copper pad for rated 1.5 A current at 120°C terminal temperature.
The SMA package supports automated pick-and-place assembly and features solderable terminals per MIL-STD-202 Method 208. Polarity is marked by cathode band; reverse leakage is specified at 5.0 µA (25°C) and 200 µA (125°C) under full DC blocking voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - maximum allowable repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating margin in 85–265 VAC input rectification. |
| IO @ TT=120°C | 1.5 A - continuous DC output current capability when terminal temperature is held at 120°C using PCB copper as heatsink. |
| VFM @ IF=1.5A | 1.3 V - forward conduction loss per diode; contributes ~1.95 W dissipation at full load, driving thermal design. |
| trr | 150 ns - measured at IF=0.5A, IR=1.0A, Irr=0.25A; enables efficient operation in 50–100 kHz SMPS without excessive reverse recovery loss. |
| IFSM | 50 A - single half-sine surge rating (8.3 ms); withstands inrush currents during cold-start of power supplies. |
| RJT | 20 K/W - thermal resistance from junction to terminal; requires minimum 5.0 mm² copper pad (0.013 mm thick) for datasheet-rated current. |
Pinout & Package
SMA package: molded plastic case with solder-plated terminals; cathode identified by band; weight ≈ 0.065 g; UL 94V-0 rated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | AC input connection point | Accepts incoming alternating waveform; must withstand peak inverse voltage and surge current during negative half-cycle. |
| Cathode | DC output connection point | Delivers rectified unidirectional current to bulk capacitor; polarity marking ensures correct orientation in bridge or single-diode configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast recovery time | 150 ns trr enables high-frequency rectification with low switching loss in compact 50–100 kHz SMPS designs. |
| Glass passivated die | Enhances reliability and moisture resistance versus epoxy-passivated alternatives, supporting industrial temperature cycling. |
| UL 94V-0 plastic case | Meets flame-retardant safety requirement for end equipment certified to IEC/EN 62368-1 or UL 62368-1. |
| Automated assembly compatible | SMA footprint aligns with JEDEC MS-013 standard; supports high-yield SMT reflow and AOI inspection. |
Applications
| AC/DC Adapter Input Stage | USB PD Power Supply Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 100–120 VAC input rectification in compact wall adapters delivering 20–65 W. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast recovery rectifier in single-phase bridge or voltage-doubler configuration. Use Value: 150 ns trr minimizes reverse recovery charge loss, improving efficiency over standard recovery diodes at 65–100 kHz switching frequencies. | Use Scenario: Primary-side rectification in USB PD 3.0 compliant 45 W power supplies with active clamp flyback topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier handling high-frequency AC ripple from transformer secondary. Use Value: 1.3 V VFM at 1.5 A reduces conduction loss relative to Schottky alternatives above 60 V, enabling higher voltage tolerance without thermal penalty. |
| Industrial IoT Power Module | LED Driver Input Bridge |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted 24 VDC power module accepting universal 85–305 VAC input for factory automation sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability rectifier in full-wave bridge with extended temperature operation. Use Value: -65°C to +150°C operating range and 200 µA IR at 125°C ensure stable performance in unventilated enclosures. | Use Scenario: Off-line LED driver for street lighting with 100–277 VAC input and constant-current output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input-stage rectifier in bridge configuration feeding PFC controller. Use Value: 50 A IFSM withstands repeated cold-start surges from large bulk capacitors, extending lifetime in outdoor environments. |
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 | TO-277 package (SMD), 600 V VRRM, 1.1 A IO, 75 ns trr | Higher voltage rating but lower current; suited for higher-voltage PFC stages, not direct replacement for 100 V/1.5 A use. | Select when system requires >400 V blocking with ultrafast recovery; verify thermal interface due to different package RθJL. |
| ON Semiconductor MUR120 | SMB package, 200 V VRRM, 1.0 A IO, 75 ns trr | Lower current rating and different footprint; requires PCB redesign; better for 200 V systems needing faster trr. | Choose only if board layout allows SMB and application operates below 1.0 A average current; check derating at elevated ambient. |
Compared with RS2B-13, STTH1L06U offers higher voltage and faster recovery but sacrifices current capacity and thermal performance in SMA, while MUR120 trades current and package compatibility for speed and voltage - neither matches RS2B-13's balanced 100 V/1.5 A/150 ns specification in SMA.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for RS2B-13?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, consistent with its specified operating temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. This rating assumes proper thermal management via ≥5 mm² copper pad per the datasheet's RJT test condition; exceeding this temperature risks parametric shift and long-term reliability degradation.
Can RS2B-13 replace a standard recovery rectifier in an existing 60 Hz transformer-based power supply?
Yes - RS2B-13 can directly replace slower rectifiers (e.g., 1N4007) in linear supplies, but its fast recovery offers no benefit at 60 Hz. However, its lower VFM (1.3 V vs. ~1.6 V) reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency slightly, provided thermal design accommodates the same power dissipation.
Is RS2B-13 lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - RS2B-13 is manufactured with lead-free terminations and complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and China RoHS. The device meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1, meaning it is not moisture-sensitive and does not require dry-pack or baking prior to reflow.
Does RS2B-13 have SPICE model support?
Yes - Diodes Incorporated provides verified SPICE models for RS2B-13 (listed as "RS2B" in DS15004 Rev. E-2). The model includes nonlinear capacitance, temperature-dependent forward conduction, and reverse recovery dynamics calibrated to datasheet curves for accurate simulation in PSpice, LTspice, and other industry tools.
