Product details

Overview

S15MLW RVG from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1.5A, 1000V repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) surface-mount standard rectifier in SOD-123W package, optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and switching-mode power supplies with 50A surge capability and 175°C max junction temperature.

For engineers reviewing the S15MLW RVG datasheet, S15MLW RVG pinout, S15MLW RVG application, or S15MLW RVG equivalent, key selection criteria include verified V_RRM = 1000V, I_F = 1.5A continuous, forward voltage ≤1.10V at 1.5A/25°C, thermal resistance R_θJA = 85°C/W, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance per IEC 61249-2-21.

Technical Context

The S15MLW RVG is a single-die, single-phase standard silicon rectifier diode designed for unidirectional current flow in medium-voltage, medium-current power conversion stages. Its 1000V V_RRM rating enables use in 800V-class bus systems, while its 50A I_FSM supports robust transient handling during startup or fault conditions.

Thermal performance is defined for PCB mounting on 5mm × 5mm copper pads, with R_θJL = 29°C/W and R_θJC = 31°C/W confirming efficient heat transfer to lead and case. Junction capacitance is specified at 10pF (1MHz, 4V reverse bias), supporting stable high-frequency operation without excessive capacitive loading.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar standard rectifier applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STTH1L06S	V_RRM = 600V, I_F = 1A, VF ≈ 1.15V @ 1A/25°C, SOD-123 package	Limited to ≤400V DC bus; lower surge rating (30A)	Select only if system V_RMS < 420V and peak current < 30A; not suitable for 800V-class designs
ON Semi MUR120RLG	V_RRM = 200V, I_F = 1A, ultrafast recovery (t_rr = 75ns), DO-41 package	Lower voltage rating; through-hole mounting; faster switching but higher V_F	Prefer for low-V_RMS, high-frequency flyback snubbers where speed outweighs voltage headroom

Compared with STTH1L06S and MUR120RLG, the S15MLW RVG uniquely delivers 1000V blocking with 1.5A current and SMD compatibility-enabling higher-voltage, higher-power density designs without layout redesign or thermal derating penalties.

FAQ

What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) for the S15MLW RVG?

The S15MLW RVG has a guaranteed V_RRM of 1000V, confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table across all production lots. This rating is validated under standard test conditions (TA = 25°C) and supports design margins for 800V DC bus applications. The S15MLW RVG is the highest-voltage variant in the S15xLW series, distinct from S15DLW (200V) and S15KLW (800V).

Does the S15MLW RVG have a specified forward voltage (V_F) at 1.5A and 125°C?

Yes, the S15MLW RVG specifies V_F ≤ 1.05V at I_F = 1.5A and T_J = 125°C, per the Electrical Specifications table. This value reflects real-world conduction loss under elevated temperature conditions typical in enclosed power supplies. The S15MLW RVG maintains lower V_F than comparable 1000V rectifiers due to optimized die metallization and thermal design.

Is the S15MLW RVG RoHS and halogen-free compliant?

Yes, the S15MLW RVG is fully RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section. This compliance applies to all materials-including molding compound, lead finish, and internal die attach-ensuring suitability for export to EU, Japan, and South Korea markets. The S15MLW RVG carries no exemptions and meets strict substance restrictions without trade-offs in thermal or electrical performance.

What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of the S15MLW RVG?

The S15MLW RVG has a moisture sensitivity level of MSL 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH without baking prior to reflow soldering. This eliminates pre-reflow bake cycles in manufacturing, reducing process time and cost. The S15MLW RVG's SOD-123W package construction and dry-packaging ensure this MSL rating is maintained across full production lots.

What thermal resistance values are specified for the S15MLW RVG?

The S15MLW RVG specifies R_θJA = 85°C/W, R_θJL = 29°C/W, and R_θJC = 31°C/W, all measured on a standardized 5mm × 5mm copper pad PCB. These values define thermal limits for layout design: R_θJA governs ambient-to-junction rise under natural convection, while R_θJL confirms safe lead-to-junction transfer during reflow. The S15MLW RVG's thermal metrics are consistent across voltage variants in the family.
