Product details
Overview
S1AB M4G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 A, 50 V standard surface-mount silicon rectifier diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring glass-passivated junction, 30 A surge capability, and 1.1 V max forward voltage at 1 A - used in AC/DC input stages of compact SMPS and LED lighting adapters.
For engineers reviewing the S1AB M4G datasheet, S1AB M4G pinout, S1AB M4G application, or S1AB M4G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (50 V), thermal resistance (30 °C/W), moisture sensitivity level (J-STD-020 Level 1), RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and SMB footprint compatibility with automated placement.
Technical Context
The S1AB M4G is a single-die, unidirectional standard recovery rectifier optimized for low-loss, high-reliability operation in 50–60 Hz line-frequency and high-frequency switching applications up to 100 kHz. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance across temperature.
Thermal design relies on its 30 °C/W junction-to-lead resistance and 150 °C maximum junction temperature, enabling continuous 1 A conduction without forced cooling when mounted on ≥1 cm² copper area. Reverse leakage remains ≤5 µA at 25 °C and ≤50 µA at 125 °C under rated VR.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IF (Avg) | 1 A - supports continuous output current in 5–15 W offline SMPS and adapter front-end rectification |
| VRRM | 50 V - suitable for low-voltage DC bus inputs or secondary-side rectification in isolated converters |
| IFSM (8.3 ms) | 30 A - withstands inrush surges during cold-start of power supplies without degradation |
| VF @ 1 A, 25°C | ≤1.1 V - limits conduction loss to ≤1.1 W per diode, critical for thermally constrained SMB layouts |
| RθJL | 30 °C/W - enables direct thermal path to PCB copper; requires ≥0.5 cm² 2-oz copper pad for full rating |
| IR @ 50 V, 125°C | ≤50 µA - ensures minimal standby power loss in energy-efficient lighting and adapter designs |
| CJ @ 4 V, 1 MHz | 12 pF - low capacitance minimizes switching noise and EMI in high-frequency flyback topologies |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package with cathode-indicated band; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.

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 M1AB | Same DO-214AA package, identical 1 A / 50 V rating, but VF = 1.05 V typ (vs. 1.1 V max for S1AB M4G); RθJL = 28 °C/W | Slightly lower conduction loss; preferred where thermal margin is marginal | Select M1AB if optimizing for lowest possible VF in thermally dense layouts |
| Vishay VS-1A50 | DO-214AA package, 1 A / 50 V, VF = 1.1 V max, but IR = 10 µA max at 125°C (vs. 50 µA for S1AB M4G) | Better high-temp leakage control; suited for extended-temperature industrial environments | Select VS-1A50 where <10 µA leakage at 125°C is mandatory for low-standby-power designs |
Compared with M1AB and VS-1A50, the S1AB M4G offers balanced performance: tighter IR specification than M1AB at elevated temperature, and lower cost than VS-1A50 while maintaining J-STD-020 Level 1 handling and halogen-free compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the S1AB M4G?
The S1AB M4G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) of +150 °C, allowing operation in ambient temperatures up to +105 °C when properly mounted on ≥0.5 cm² of 2-oz copper. This rating supports use in enclosed LED drivers and industrial power modules without active cooling. The S1AB M4G must not exceed this limit during transient or steady-state conditions to ensure long-term reliability.
Is the S1AB M4G suitable for use in a full-wave bridge configuration?
Yes, the S1AB M4G can be used as one leg in a discrete full-wave bridge rectifier due to its 50 V VRRM, 30 A IFSM, and DO-214AA package symmetry. Four S1AB M4G devices provide a compact, cost-effective bridge solution for low-voltage AC inputs (e.g., ≤35 V RMS). The S1AB M4G's glass-passivated junction ensures consistent reverse blocking across all units in parallel or bridge arrangements.
Does the S1AB M4G require pre-baking before reflow soldering?
No, the S1AB M4G has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/60% RH and does not require baking prior to reflow. This simplifies SMT line logistics and eliminates risk of popcorning. The S1AB M4G's matte tin-plated leads also meet J-STD-002 for reliable solder wetting during standard lead-free reflow profiles.
What is the reverse leakage current of the S1AB M4G at elevated temperature?
At 125 °C and rated 50 V reverse voltage, the S1AB M4G exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 50 µA, measured under 30 ms pulse conditions. This value is confirmed in TSC's official electrical specifications table and supports low-standby-power designs in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems where quiescent current matters. The S1AB M4G maintains this spec across production lots.
How does the S1AB M4G compare to Schottky rectifiers in 50 V applications?
The S1AB M4G is a standard silicon rectifier, not a Schottky device, so it has higher VF (~1.1 V) but negligible reverse recovery charge and zero soft-recovery-related EMI. Unlike Schottky alternatives, the S1AB M4G sustains 150 °C junction temperature and shows no thermal runaway risk. For 50 V applications where efficiency is secondary to ruggedness and cost, the S1AB M4G delivers superior reliability. The S1AB M4G is not a drop-in replacement for Schottky diodes due to different switching behavior.
