Product details
Overview
S15KCHR7G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount silicon rectifier diode with 800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 15 A average forward current (IF), and 350 A non-repetitive surge capability (IFSM); it features glass-passivated junction, low 1.1 V forward voltage at 15 A, and DO-214AB (SMC) package for use in switching-mode power supplies and freewheeling circuits.
For engineers reviewing the S15KCHR7G datasheet, S15KCHR7G pinout, S15KCHR7G application, or S15KCHR7G equivalent, key selection criteria include verified VRRM = 800 V, thermal resistance RθJL = 8 °C/W, moisture sensitivity level 1, RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Technical Context
This single-die standard recovery rectifier operates with a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C and supports continuous conduction in high-frequency switching converters. Its glass-passivated chip junction ensures stable reverse leakage (<1 µA at 25 °C, <250 µA at 125 °C) and robust surge immunity under 8.3 ms half-sine transients.
The DO-214AB (SMC) package provides mechanical ruggedness, UL 94V-0 mold compound, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and polarity indication via cathode band - all optimized for automated SMT placement and reflow reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in DC-link and output rectification stages |
| IF | 15 A - Continuous average forward current at TA = 75 °C; determines heatsink sizing in sustained-load applications |
| IFSM | 350 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms sine); enables survival during startup inrush or fault conditions |
| VF | 1.1 V max @ 15 A, 25 °C - Low conduction loss directly reduces power dissipation and improves system efficiency |
| RθJL | 8 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables direct thermal path to PCB copper for passive cooling |
| CJ | 93 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - Junction capacitance impacts high-frequency switching noise and snubber design |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1508D | VRRM = 800 V, IF = 15 A, but faster recovery (trr = 75 ns vs. standard recovery > 1 µs); higher VF = 1.7 V | Better suited for high-frequency PFC stages where reverse recovery loss dominates; less optimal for low-VF-driven efficiency targets | Select S15KCHR7G when conduction loss minimization and cost-sensitive industrial designs are prioritized over ultra-fast switching |
| ON Semi MUR1580CT | Dual common-cathode configuration (2×15 A), same VRRM; requires board redesign due to different pinout and footprint | Enables dual-output or interleaved converter topologies; not drop-in replaceable for single-diode layouts | Choose S15KCHR7G for single-channel freewheeling or output rectification where space and BOM count are constrained |
Compared with STTH1508D and MUR1580CT, the S15KCHR7G delivers lowest conduction loss in fixed-frequency SMPS and offers simplest layout integration in single-diode configurations - making it optimal for cost- and thermally sensitive industrial and telecom power systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the S15KCHR7G?
The S15KCHR7G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150 °C, with a storage temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C. This allows reliable operation in demanding industrial and telecom environments where ambient temperatures exceed 70 °C. The device's RθJL = 8 °C/W enables effective heat transfer to the PCB, helping maintain S15KCHR7G junction temperature within limits under full 15 A load.
Does the S15KCHR7G meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the S15KCHR7G is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Its molding compound, lead finish, and internal construction exclude restricted substances including lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, PBDE, and chlorine/bromine-based flame retardants - ensuring compliance with global environmental regulations and facilitating end-of-life recycling.
What does the "K" in S15KCHR7G indicate?
The "K" in S15KCHR7G denotes the 800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) rating within the S15GC–S15MC family. Per Taiwan Semiconductor's ordering code, G = 400 V, J = 600 V, K = 800 V, and M = 1000 V. The "HR7G" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 units per reel) and green compound, consistent with S15KCHR7G's production version C2102.
Is the S15KCHR7G suitable for automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the S15KCHR7G is explicitly designed for automated placement. It meets moisture sensitivity level 1 (per J-STD-020), requires no pre-bake, and features matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002. Its DO-214AB (SMC) package geometry and cathode band marking support high-yield pick-and-place and AOI inspection - confirmed in Taiwan Semiconductor's mechanical data and application notes for S15KCHR7G.
How does the S15KCHR7G compare to Schottky rectifiers in terms of forward voltage and reverse leakage?
The S15KCHR7G has a typical forward voltage of ≤1.1 V at 15 A, higher than most Schottky rectifiers (e.g., 0.5–0.8 V), but its reverse leakage is significantly lower: ≤1 µA at 25 °C and ≤250 µA at 125 °C. This makes S15KCHR7G preferable over Schottkys in high-temperature, high-VRRM applications where leakage-induced losses or thermal runaway would otherwise dominate - such as telecom and industrial SMPS.
