Product details
Overview
RS2K-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.5A surface-mount fast recovery rectifier with 800V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.3V forward voltage at 1.5A, and 250ns reverse recovery time (trr), designed for high-efficiency AC/DC front-end rectification in offline switch-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the RS2K-13 datasheet, RS2K-13 pinout, RS2K-13 application, or RS2K-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM derating for surge margin, trr impact on EMI in high-frequency converters, thermal resistance (20 K/W) for PCB copper pad layout, and SMB package compatibility with automated reflow assembly.
Technical Context
This device is a glass-passivated silicon junction diode optimized for fast switching in 50/60Hz and kHz-range SMPS rectification stages. Its 250ns trr and low Qrr minimize switching losses during commutation, while the 50A non-repetitive surge rating supports cold-start inrush handling.
The SMB package provides higher thermal dissipation than SMA (RJT = 20 K/W with 5.0 mm² copper pad), and its cathode band marking enables unambiguous polarity identification during automated optical inspection and placement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - Withstands peak line transients up to 800V in universal-input (85–265VAC) offline supplies without breakdown. |
| IO @ TT=120°C | 1.5 A - Continuous DC output current capability when terminal temperature is held at 120°C via PCB heatsinking. |
| VFM @ IF=1.5A | 1.3 V - Forward conduction loss of 1.95W at rated current, directly impacting efficiency and thermal design. |
| trr | 250 ns - Enables use in 100–500kHz flyback and forward converters without excessive switching loss or EMI. |
| IFSM (8.3ms) | 50 A - Supports single-cycle inrush current surges during input capacitor charging without failure. |
| RJT | 20 K/W - Requires ≥5.0 mm² of 0.013 mm thick copper pad per terminal to maintain junction temperature within -65°C to +150°C range. |
Pinout & Package
SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package: molded plastic case with solderable matte tin-plated terminals; cathode identified by band marking; weight 0.09 g; UL 94V-0 rated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input for AC or positive half-cycle | Connected to transformer secondary or bridge input; must withstand full VRRM and IFSM stress. |
| Cathode | Output for rectified DC | Marked with band; ties to bulk capacitor or downstream converter input; carries full IO and ripple current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die | Eliminates need for hermetic sealing while maintaining reliability under humidity and bias stress. |
| Fast recovery (250ns) | Reduces reverse recovery charge (Qrr) to limit turn-off spikes and snubber losses in high-frequency operation. |
| UL 94V-0 plastic case | Meets flammability requirements for end-equipment safety certification (e.g., IEC 62368-1). |
| 50A surge rating | Enables robustness against line surges and capacitor inrush without external fusing in many designs. |
Applications
| AC/DC Adapter Front-End | Industrial SMPS Input Stage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L80S | 800V VRRM, 1.1A IO, 75ns trr, TO-277 package | Lower current rating; faster recovery but requires different footprint and thermal design | Select if trr < 100ns is mandatory and IO ≤ 1.1A suffices. |
| ON Semi MUR180 | 800V VRRM, 1.0A IO, 75ns trr, DO-41 through-hole | Through-hole mounting; lower current and no surface-mount compatibility | Choose only for legacy through-hole production or prototyping where reflow is unavailable. |
Compared with RS2K-13, STTH1L80S offers superior speed but sacrifices 33% current capacity and changes package geometry, while MUR180 trades mountability and thermal performance for legacy compatibility-neither is drop-in, requiring layout and thermal redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for RS2K-13?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, and the device is rated for continuous operation from –65°C to +150°C. Derating begins at terminal temperatures above 120°C, where average rectified current drops linearly to zero at 175°C per Figure 1 in the datasheet. Thermal design must ensure RJT × (Pdiss – Tamb) stays below this limit.
Can RS2K-13 replace RS2J-13 in an existing design?
Yes, RS2K-13 (800V VRRM) can safely replace RS2J-13 (600V VRRM) without circuit modification, provided board layout accommodates identical SMB packaging and thermal constraints. The higher VRRM improves surge margin, but forward voltage and trr are nearly identical, preserving efficiency and EMI behavior.
Is RS2K-13 suitable for high-frequency PFC circuits?
No - while its 250ns trr supports 100–300kHz operation, RS2K-13 is not optimized for continuous high-frequency PFC (≥500kHz). Dedicated ultrafast or SiC diodes with trr < 50ns and lower Qrr are recommended for critical PFC stages to minimize losses and noise.
Does RS2K-13 have a SPICE model available?
Yes, Diodes Incorporated provides a verified SPICE model for RS2K-13 (listed explicitly in DS15004 Rev. E-2, page 1), supporting transient simulation of forward conduction, reverse recovery, and thermal effects. It is downloadable from the manufacturer's website under the "Design Resources" section for the RS2x family.
