Product details
Overview
S15DLW from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1.5A, 200V standard surface-mount silicon rectifier diode in SOD-123W package, featuring 50A peak surge current capability, 1.05V max forward voltage at 1.5A/25°C, and 175°C maximum junction temperature - deployed in DC-DC converters and switching-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the S15DLW datasheet, S15DLW pinout, S15DLW application, or S15DLW equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (200V), thermal resistance (RθJA = 85°C/W), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and SOD-123W footprint compatibility with automated placement.
Technical Context
The S15DLW is a single-die, standard recovery rectifier optimized for medium-voltage, medium-current switching power applications. Its 200V VRRM, 1.5A average forward current rating, and 50A IFSM support robust operation under transient load conditions in compact DC-DC stages.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 29°C/W and RθJA = 85°C/W on a 5mm × 5mm Cu pad PCB - enabling reliable conduction at TJ up to 175°C while maintaining low forward voltage drop (0.98V typ. @ 1.5A/25°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in flyback/freewheeling paths |
| IF | 1.5 A - Continuous average forward current; sets steady-state power delivery capacity in SMPS output stages |
| IFSM | 50 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine); withstands startup/inrush transients without failure |
| VF max | 1.10 V @ 1.5A/25°C - Directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in high-duty-cycle rectification |
| TJ max | 175 °C - Enables operation in thermally constrained environments such as enclosed industrial power modules |
| RθJA | 85 °C/W - Measured on 5 mm × 5 mm Cu pad; informs heatsinking requirements for derated current handling |
| CJ | 10 pF @ 4 V - Low junction capacitance minimizes switching losses and EMI in high-frequency converters |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD-123W - surface-mount, molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 rated, polarity indicated by cathode band, MSL Level 1, weight ≈ 0.019 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck converter); requires low-inductance trace routing |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail or ground return; cathode band marks physical orientation for automated placement verification |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| RoHS & Halogen-Free | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS - meets environmental compliance mandates for industrial and consumer end equipment |
| High IFSM/IF ratio (33×) | Enables reliable operation during short-duration overloads without derating or oversized selection |
| Low VF at elevated TJ | 0.87 V typ. @ 1.5A/125°C - maintains efficiency and thermal stability across full industrial temperature range |
| SOD-123W footprint | Standardized 2.7 mm × 1.6 mm outline with 1.3 mm height - ensures compatibility with existing pick-and-place tooling and stencil designs |
Applications
| DC–DC Converter Output Rectification | Switching Inverter Freewheeling Path |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated 12 V/1.5 A buck-derived DC–DC module powering FPGA I/O rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current steering device converting transformer secondary AC to regulated DC; operates in forward conduction only. Use Value: 1.05 V max VF limits conduction loss to <1.6 W at full load, reducing heatsink need in space-constrained telecom modules. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path across IGBT in 48 V battery-fed motor inverter stage for HVAC blower control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp diode providing low-impedance return path during IGBT turn-off; handles 50 A surge during fault events. Use Value: 50 A IFSM rating prevents avalanche failure during rapid current decay, improving system fault tolerance. |
| Industrial Power Supply Input Stage | LED Driver Bulk Rectification |
Use Scenario: Bridge rectifier input stage in 24 V/2 A industrial PLC power supply operating continuously at 60°C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standard recovery rectifier conducting mains-frequency half-cycles; not used for high-frequency switching. Use Value: 175°C TJ max allows full 1.5 A rating at 60°C ambient without derating, eliminating need for parallel devices. | Use Scenario: Bulk AC rectification feeding constant-current LED driver IC in outdoor streetlight housing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary rectifier converting 100–277 VAC line to high-voltage DC bus; exposed to repeated thermal cycling. Use Value: MSL Level 1 and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance ensure long-term solder joint integrity under thermal stress and humidity exposure. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar standard rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MUR1520 | 200 V VRRM, 1.5 A IF, but TO-220AC package (larger, through-hole) and faster recovery (ultrafast, trr = 75 ns) | Requires PCB redesign for through-hole mounting; higher cost per unit in SMT lines | Select when board-level thermal management favors leaded packages or ultrafast recovery is required for EMI reduction |
| Vishay VS-1N5819HM3/85A | 40 V VRRM, 1 A IF, Schottky architecture - lower VF (~0.45 V) but limited voltage range and higher leakage | Not suitable for 200 V blocking; usable only in low-voltage (<30 V) DC–DC outputs | Select only for sub-30 V applications where low VF outweighs voltage limitation and leakage sensitivity |
Compared with MUR1520 and VS-1N5819HM3/85A, the S15DLW provides optimal balance of 200 V blocking, SMT-compatible SOD-123W footprint, and industry-standard recovery speed - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 24–48 V industrial power supplies where ultrafast recovery is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for the S15DLW?
The S15DLW has a VRRM of 200 V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version C2103). This value is fixed for the S15DLW variant and distinguishes it from higher-voltage siblings like S15GLW (400 V) and S15MLW (1000 V). Exceeding 200 V in repetitive reverse bias risks irreversible breakdown. The S15DLW must be selected only for circuits where peak reverse voltage remains ≤200 V.
Does the S15DLW have a specified forward voltage (VF) at 1.5 A and 125°C?
Yes, the S15DLW specifies VF = 0.87 V (typical) and ≤1.05 V (maximum) at IF = 1.5 A and TJ = 125°C, per the Electrical Specifications table. This elevated-temperature VF data confirms stable conduction performance under thermal stress, critical for industrial applications where ambient temperatures exceed 85°C. The S15DLW maintains lower forward drop than many competing 200 V rectifiers at high junction temperatures.
Is the S15DLW RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the S15DLW is explicitly stated as RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21 in the official Taiwan Semiconductor documentation. This dual compliance is verified in the FEATURES section and applies to all units shipped under ordering code S15DLW. No exemptions or alternate material sets are referenced - the S15DLW meets full regulatory requirements for environmentally restricted markets including the EU and China.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of the S15DLW, and does it require baking before reflow?
The S15DLW has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH without floor life restrictions and requires no pre-reflow baking. This is confirmed in the FEATURES list and simplifies manufacturing logistics. Unlike MSL 3+ components, the S15DLW can be loaded directly from dry pack into SMT lines - a key advantage for high-throughput assembly of the S15DLW.
What package type does the S15DLW use, and what are its key mechanical attributes?
The S15DLW uses the SOD-123W package: a surface-mount, molded plastic case measuring approximately 2.7 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.3 mm, with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and polarity marked by a cathode band. It meets UL 94V-0 flammability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The S15DLW's SOD-123W footprint is identical to industry-standard SOD-123 but with enhanced thermal pad design for improved heat dissipation.
