Product details
Overview
RS2GA-T from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2A, 400V fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring 150 ns reverse recovery time, 1.11 V forward voltage at 2A/25°C, and 50 A surge current capability. It serves as a primary AC/DC input rectifier in compact switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the RS2GA-T datasheet, RS2GA-T pinout, RS2GA-T application, or RS2GA-T equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 400 V, IF = 2 A continuous, trr ≤ 150 ns, thermal resistance RθJL = 14 °C/W, and DO-214AC mechanical compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The RS2GA-T employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast recovery (trr ≤ 150 ns) and low conduction loss, with forward voltage specified at both 25°C and 125°C to support thermal design across operating ranges. Its single-die configuration and cathode-band polarity marking align with industry-standard SMA layout practices.
Thermal performance is characterized with RθJL = 14 °C/W and RθJA = 86 °C/W on a 5 mm × 5 mm copper pad, enabling accurate junction temperature estimation in real PCB environments. Reverse leakage remains ≤5 µA at 25°C and ≤100 µA at 125°C under rated VRRM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe AC input voltage headroom in bridge or single-diode rectification. |
| IF | 2 A - Continuous forward current rating; determines minimum trace width and heatsinking for steady-state operation. |
| trr | ≤150 ns - Reverse recovery time; critical for minimizing switching losses in 50–500 kHz SMPS topologies. |
| VF @ 2A, 25°C | 1.11 V - Forward voltage drop; directly impacts conduction loss (Pcond ≈ 2.22 W) and thermal rise at full load. |
| RθJL | 14 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables direct thermal coupling to PCB copper for passive cooling without external heatsink. |
| IFSM | 50 A - Non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms); supports inrush current handling during cold-start of DC/DC converters. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AC (SMA), surface-mount, single-anode/single-cathode configuration with cathode band marking. Weight: 0.060 g. Moisture sensitivity level: J-STD-020 Level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Forward current entry point | Connected to AC input or transformer secondary; must route with adequate current-carrying copper. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to bulk capacitor or output rail; polarity marking prevents reverse installation in automated placement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable reverse leakage (<5 µA at 25°C) and long-term reliability under humidity and thermal cycling. |
| Fast recovery (trr ≤ 150 ns) | Reduces switching loss and EMI generation in high-frequency SMPS designs compared to standard rectifiers. |
| DO-214AC (SMA) package | Enables high-density layout and compatibility with standard SMT pick-and-place equipment and reflow profiles. |
| RoHS & halogen-free compliance | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and environmental regulations for industrial and consumer end products. |
Applications
| AC/DC Adapter Input Rectification | DC/DC Converter Front-End |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Converts 90–264 VAC mains to pulsating DC prior to bulk capacitance in wall-plug adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary unidirectional current path; blocks reverse voltage during negative AC half-cycle. Use Value: 400 V VRRM provides 2× safety margin over 264 VAC peak (373 V), while 150 ns trr limits switching loss at 65–130 kHz operation. | Use Scenario: Rectifies high-frequency transformer output in isolated flyback or forward converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side freewheeling/rectifying diode; conducts during MOSFET off-time. Use Value: Low VF (1.11 V @ 2A) minimizes conduction loss in 12–24 V output stages; DO-214AC footprint simplifies layout near transformer. |
| Industrial Power Supply Input Stage | LED Driver Bulk Rectification |
Use Scenario: Input bridge leg in 24–48 VDC industrial PSUs accepting wide-range AC or DC inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One quadrant of full-wave bridge; handles continuous 2 A load with transient surges up to 50 A. Use Value: RθJL = 14 °C/W allows direct PCB copper thermal conduction, eliminating need for discrete heatsinks in space-constrained enclosures. | Use Scenario: High-efficiency rectification stage in constant-current LED drivers for street lighting or commercial fixtures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Mainline AC input rectifier feeding PFC or buck-derived topology. Use Value: 100 µA max reverse leakage at 125°C ensures minimal standby power loss and thermal stability in enclosed luminaires. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2R04 | VRRM = 400 V, IF = 2 A, trr = 35 ns, DO-214AC, but higher cost and tighter VF tolerance (1.05 V typ @ 2A). | Better suited for ultra-low-noise or >300 kHz designs where trr < 50 ns is required. | Select STTH2R04 only if system-level EMI testing shows benefit from faster recovery; RS2GA-T remains optimal for cost-sensitive 65–130 kHz applications. |
| ES2D | VRRM = 200 V, IF = 2 A, trr = 35 ns, same DO-214AC package, lower VF (0.95 V @ 2A), but insufficient for 264 VAC input. | Limited to low-input-voltage DC/DC or secondary-side use; not suitable for universal AC input. | ES2D is viable only in fixed 12–48 VDC input systems; RS2GA-T is mandatory for universal AC mains compatibility. |
Compared with STTH2R04 and ES2D, the RS2GA-T delivers balanced performance for mainstream 400 V-rated applications-offering sufficient speed (150 ns), proven thermal robustness (RθJL = 14 °C/W), and cost-effective DO-214AC manufacturability without over-specifying for typical 65–130 kHz power conversion.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for RS2GA-T?
The RS2GA-T has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed LED drivers or industrial power supplies. Derating curves confirm usable current capacity down to 1.2 A at 125°C ambient when mounted on a 5 mm × 5 mm Cu pad. The RS2GA-T must be operated within this limit to ensure long-term reliability and avoid thermal runaway.
Does RS2GA-T have a defined moisture sensitivity level (MSL)?
Yes, the RS2GA-T is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH and requires no baking prior to reflow soldering. This simplifies SMT line integration and eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk during standard lead-free reflow profiles. The RS2GA-T's matte tin-plated leads also comply with J-STD-002 for solderability assurance.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for RS2GA-T?
The RS2GA-T has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 150 ns, measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and IRR = 0.25 A. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table and applies across the full operating temperature range. The RS2GA-T's trr enables efficient operation in switching power supplies up to 150 kHz without excessive switching loss or EMI generation.
Is RS2GA-T RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the RS2GA-T is fully RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and all materials are documented in TSC's substance declaration. This compliance ensures suitability for export to EU, China, and other regulated markets. The RS2GA-T's green compound marking further identifies its halogen-free status on-device.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of RS2GA-T at 2A and 125°C?
The RS2GA-T exhibits a typical forward voltage of 0.98 V and a maximum of 1.12 V at IF = 2 A and TJ = 125°C. This reduced VF versus room temperature (1.11 V max) reflects positive temperature coefficient behavior, improving thermal stability in high-power operation. Designers should use the 1.12 V max value for worst-case loss calculation in the RS2GA-T's thermal model.
