Product details
Overview
RS2BH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2 A, 100 V fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring 50 µA max reverse leakage at 125°C, 1.3 V max forward voltage at 2 A, and 150 ns reverse recovery time. It serves as a freewheeling or snubber diode in automotive DC-DC converters and LED lighting circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RS2BH datasheet, RS2BH pinout, RS2BH application, or RS2BH equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 175°C maximum junction temperature, DO-214AA mechanical compatibility, and verified 150 ns trr performance under IF = 0.5 A / IR = 1.0 A test conditions.
Technical Context
The RS2BH employs a glass-passivated single-die silicon junction optimized for fast switching and low conduction loss. Its thermal design supports RθJL = 18°C/W and RθJA = 55°C/W, enabling reliable operation up to 175°C junction temperature in constrained PCB layouts.
It delivers stable reverse blocking up to 100 V VRRM with <5 µA IR at 25°C and <50 µA at 125°C, and exhibits 50 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz / 4 V - critical for high-frequency snubber and flyback clamp performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - rated repetitive peak reverse voltage; defines maximum DC or AC peak voltage the device blocks reliably in circuit |
| IF | 2 A - continuous average forward current; determines steady-state power handling in rectification paths |
| trr | 150 ns - measured reverse recovery time at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables efficient high-frequency switching in DC-DC topologies |
| VF | ≤1.3 V at 2 A, 25°C - forward voltage drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in power stages |
| IR | ≤5 µA at 25°C, ≤50 µA at 125°C - low leakage preserves efficiency in high-temperature automotive environments |
| RθJL | 18°C/W - junction-to-lead thermal resistance; supports direct heat transfer to PCB copper or heatsink via cathode lead |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2R01 | Same DO-214AA package, 100 V VRRM, but trr = 200 ns (max); VF = 1.25 V (typ) | Slightly higher switching loss in >200 kHz designs due to longer trr | Acceptable where layout allows minor efficiency trade-off and STTH2R01 is preferred in existing BOMs |
| ON Semi MUR210E | DO-214AC (SMA) package, smaller footprint; 100 V VRRM, trr = 75 ns (typ), VF = 1.2 V (max) | Lower profile but reduced thermal mass; RθJA ≈ 75°C/W limits power density vs. RS2BH's 55°C/W | Preferred for space-constrained boards where peak current <1.5 A and ambient temp <85°C |
Compared with STTH2R01 and MUR210E, the RS2BH offers superior thermal performance (RθJA = 55°C/W) and automotive qualification, making it optimal for high-reliability 2 A freewheeling or snubber roles where board-level heat dissipation is limited.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for RS2BH?
The RS2BH has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of +175°C, validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This allows uninterrupted operation in under-hood automotive environments where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C, provided thermal design maintains junction temperature below this limit. The RS2BH's RθJL = 18°C/W supports effective heat transfer through the cathode lead to PCB copper.
Is RS2BH pin-compatible with other devices in the RS2xH family?
Yes, all RS2xH devices-including RS2AH, RS2BH, RS2DH, up to RS2MH-share identical DO-214AA (SMB) package dimensions, pinout, and solder pad layout. The only difference is VRRM rating (50 V to 1000 V), so RS2BH can be substituted within the same footprint when 100 V blocking is sufficient, without PCB redesign.
Does RS2BH meet automotive reliability standards?
Yes, RS2BH is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed rigorous stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing (UHAST). This certification confirms suitability for automotive power electronics such as body control modules and lighting drivers where long-term field reliability is mandatory.
What is the reverse recovery time specification for RS2BH?
The RS2BH reverse recovery time (trr) is specified as ≤150 ns under standardized test conditions: IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A, with 1 MHz measurement frequency. This value is confirmed in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet Version B2304 and is critical for minimizing switching loss in high-frequency DC-DC converters using the RS2BH as a freewheeling diode.
Can RS2BH be used in snubber circuits?
Yes, RS2BH is explicitly recommended for snubber applications per its official documentation. Its 100 V VRRM, 50 A IFSM, and 150 ns trr enable effective clamping of voltage spikes across switching MOSFETs in flyback and forward converters. The glass-passivated junction ensures stable performance under repetitive transient stress, making RS2BH suitable for automotive snubbers exposed to load dump events.
