Product details
Overview
RS2G R5G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2 A, 400 V fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring 250 ns reverse recovery time, 1.3 V max forward voltage at 2 A, and 5 µA max reverse leakage at 25°C - used in AC/DC adapters and offline SMPS secondary-side rectification.
For engineers reviewing the RS2G R5G datasheet, RS2G R5G pinout, RS2G R5G application, or RS2G R5G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (400 V), thermal resistance (55 °C/W junction-to-ambient), surge capability (50 A IFSM), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial power supply design.
Technical Context
The RS2G R5G operates as a single-die, unidirectional fast recovery rectifier with glass-passivated junction and cathode-band polarity marking. Its 250 ns trr and 50 pF junction capacitance support high-frequency switching up to several hundred kHz in flyback and forward converters.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on PCBs with JEDEC-compliant SMB pads, it sustains 175 °C maximum junction temperature and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity - enabling reflow compatibility without baking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - supports 230 VAC input-derived DC bus with ≥2× safety margin in universal-input SMPS |
| IF | 2 A continuous - delivers up to 24 W output at 12 V with typical conduction loss under 2.6 W |
| trr | 250 ns - minimizes switching loss and EMI in 65–130 kHz flyback topologies |
| VF (max) | 1.3 V @ 2 A, 25°C - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at full load, reducing heatsink requirements |
| RθJA | 55 °C/W - allows 1.5 W dissipation with ≤80°C ambient rise on standard 1-in² copper pad |
| IR (max) | 5 µA @ 25°C - ensures low standby power loss in energy-efficient adapter designs |

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 | Same 2 A / 400 V rating; 1.25 V VF (typ), 200 ns trr, TO-220AC package | Requires through-hole mounting and heatsink; unsuitable for compact SMT designs | Select when higher surge robustness (100 A IFSM) and forced-air cooling are available |
| ON Semi MUR240 | 2 A / 400 V; 1.25 V VF (max), 35 ns trr, DO-214AC (SMA) package | Smaller SMA footprint limits thermal mass; lower trr increases EMI risk without snubbing | Prefer for ultra-fast switching where layout includes RC snubber and tight EMI filtering |
Compared with STTH2R04 and MUR240, the RS2G R5G offers optimal balance of SMT compatibility, thermal performance (55 °C/W), and cost-effective fast recovery for mid-power adapters - without requiring mechanical redesign or added snubbers.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for RS2G R5G?
The RS2G R5G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) of +175°C, allowing operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed LED drivers or industrial power modules. This rating is validated per absolute maximum ratings table in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet Version L2304, and enables reliable performance when derated per the forward current derating curve in Figure 1.
Does RS2G R5G meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, RS2G R5G is RoHS compliant and halogen-free, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. The molding compound and plating materials satisfy EU Directive 2011/65/EU and IPC-1752A reporting standards, with no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives used in the DO-214AA (SMB) package construction.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for RS2G R5G?
The RS2G R5G has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 250 ns, measured under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A conditions per the ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS table. This value applies specifically to RS2G and is confirmed across all revisions of the L2304 datasheet - distinguishing it from RS2A (150 ns) and RS2K (500 ns) variants in the same family.
Can RS2G R5G be used as a direct replacement for RS2B or RS2D in existing designs?
No - RS2G R5G is not a direct replacement for RS2B (100 V) or RS2D (200 V) due to its higher 400 V VRRM rating. While pin-compatible in DO-214AA, substituting RS2G R5G may over-specify voltage margin and slightly increase VF due to process tuning; verify thermal and conduction loss impact using the RS2G R5G's 1.3 V VF (max) and 55 °C/W RθJA before redesigning.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of RS2G R5G?
The RS2G R5G has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH and placed directly into reflow soldering without baking. This eliminates pre-conditioning steps in high-volume SMT lines and reduces handling risk compared to MSL 2a or higher discrete rectifiers.
