Product details
Overview
RS2JALH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2 A, 600 V fast recovery surface-mount rectifier diode in Thin SMA package, featuring 250 ns reverse recovery time, 1.01 V forward voltage at 2 A/25°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use. It serves as a freewheeling or snubber diode in DC/DC converters where high efficiency and thermal robustness are required.
For engineers reviewing the RS2JALH datasheet, RS2JALH pinout, RS2JALH application, or RS2JALH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V VRRM, 250 ns trr, glass-passivated junction, JMAX = 175°C rating, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on thin-profile PCBs.
Technical Context
The RS2JALH is a single-die, unidirectional fast recovery rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications. Its 250 ns reverse recovery time and low 11 pF junction capacitance minimize switching losses in DC/DC topologies operating up to several hundred kHz.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 16°C/W and RθJA = 73°C/W (on 5 mm × 5 mm Cu pad), enabling reliable 2 A continuous conduction at ambient temperatures up to 100°C without forced cooling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage; supports 420 V RMS input in AC-DC front-ends or 600 V bus rails in automotive DC/DC stages. |
| IF | 2 A - Continuous forward current rating; delivers full output at TA ≤ 100°C with standard PCB copper area. |
| trr | 250 ns - Reverse recovery time at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A; enables efficient operation in 100–500 kHz switching converters. |
| VF @ 2 A, 25°C | 1.01 V - Forward voltage drop; contributes ~2.02 W conduction loss at full load, critical for thermal budgeting. |
| Junction temp. max | 175°C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; supports under-hood automotive environments with margin. |
| CJ @ 1 MHz | 11 pF - Junction capacitance at 4 V reverse bias; limits high-frequency displacement current and EMI generation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Thin SMA (JEDEC DO-221AC variant), low-profile surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads, cathode indicated by band, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck converter); requires adequate copper pour for thermal dissipation. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to higher-potential rail; polarity must be observed-reverse connection causes catastrophic failure under reverse bias. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD per stress test conditions. |
| Glass passivated junction | Provides hermetic protection against humidity and contaminants, ensuring long-term stability in harsh environments. |
| Low profile Thin SMA package | Height ≤ 1.45 mm enables use in space-constrained modules such as engine control units and ADAS power supplies. |
| Fast recovery (250 ns) | Reduces reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and associated switching losses compared to standard rectifiers. |
Applications
| Automotive DC/DC Converters | Industrial Snubber Circuits |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2R06S | Same 2 A / 600 V rating; trr = 200 ns (slightly faster); VF = 1.15 V @ 2 A; TO-277 package (higher RθJA). | Higher thermal resistance (90°C/W) limits power density; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Prefer RS2JALH for automotive or space-constrained designs; STTH2R06S suits cost-sensitive industrial use with larger heatsinking. |
| ES2J | Same 2 A / 600 V; trr = 35 ns (ultrafast); VF = 1.7 V @ 2 A; SMA package but non-AEC-Q101. | Higher VF increases conduction loss; lacks automotive qualification and glass passivation. | Choose RS2JALH when reliability in humid/high-temp environments is mandatory; ES2J fits ultra-high-frequency (>1 MHz) but less demanding applications. |
Compared with STTH2R06S and ES2J, the RS2JALH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, glass passivation, 250 ns recovery, and Thin SMA packaging-making it the only option qualified for under-hood automotive power conversion where both reliability and profile height are constrained.

FAQ
What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating of the RS2JALH?
The RS2JALH has a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 600 V. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table for the RS2JALH variant and defines the maximum reverse-bias voltage the device can block repeatedly without breakdown. It is suitable for use in 420 V RMS AC inputs or 600 V DC bus applications. The RS2JALH datasheet specifies this parameter explicitly for the "RS2JALH" row under VRRM.
Is the RS2JALH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the RS2JALH is AEC-Q101 qualified, as stated in the FEATURES section of its official datasheet. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and electrostatic discharge (ESD), confirming suitability for automotive power electronics. The RS2JALH marking code "RS2JAH" and qualification status are explicitly tied to the RS2JALH ordering variant in the documentation.
What is the forward voltage drop of the RS2JALH at 2 A and 25°C?
The forward voltage (VF) of the RS2JALH is 1.01 V at 2 A and 25°C, per the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and represents typical conduction loss at rated current. At 125°C, VF drops to 0.88 V due to semiconductor physics, which is also documented for RS2JALH in the same table.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for the RS2JALH?
The reverse recovery time (trr) of the RS2JALH is 250 ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This value is explicitly assigned to RS2JALH in the Electrical Specifications table and distinguishes it from lower-voltage variants (e.g., RS2DALH at 150 ns) and higher-voltage variants (e.g., RS2KALH at 500 ns).
What package type does the RS2JALH use, and what are its key mechanical features?
The RS2JALH uses the Thin SMA package (JEDEC DO-221AC variant), with dimensions including length 4.40 mm, width 2.70 mm, and height 1.45 mm max. Key features include matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, cathode band polarity marking, moisture sensitivity level 1 (per J-STD-020), and UL 94V-0 molding compound. These attributes are confirmed in the MECHANICAL DATA and PACKAGE OUTLINE DIMENSIONS sections for RS2JALH.
