Product details
Overview
S1A M2G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 A, 50 V surface-mount silicon rectifier diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring glass-passivated junction, 1.1 V max forward voltage at 1 A, 1 µA max reverse leakage at 25°C, and 175°C maximum junction temperature - used in DC-DC converters and snubber circuits.
For engineers reviewing the S1A M2G datasheet, S1A M2G pinout, S1A M2G application, or S1A M2G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (50 V), surge current rating (40 A), thermal resistance (27 °C/W junction-to-lead), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, standard recovery rectifier with unidirectional conduction and cathode-band polarity indication. Its 1500 ns reverse recovery time and 12 pF junction capacitance reflect trade-offs between switching speed and low forward loss.
Designed for surface-mount assembly per J-STD-002, it meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94V-0 flammability requirements. The DO-214AC (SMA) package supports automated placement and provides 0.060 g mass for thermal and mechanical stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IF (Avg) | 1 A continuous forward current - defines maximum steady-state power dissipation under heatsink-free operation |
| VRRM | 50 V repetitive peak reverse voltage - sets maximum blocking capability in DC-DC flyback or snubber applications |
| VF (max) | 1.1 V at 1 A, 25°C - determines conduction loss and thermal rise in high-duty-cycle rectification |
| IFSM | 40 A peak surge current (8.3 ms half-sine) - enables robustness against line transients and startup inductance kick |
| TJ max | +175°C junction temperature - allows operation in compact enclosures without active cooling |
| trr | 1500 ns reverse recovery time - limits usable frequency range to ≤100 kHz in switching converters |
| CJ | 12 pF at 1 MHz, 4 V - contributes to EMI generation and affects gate-drive coupling in adjacent MOSFETs |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) package: molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads, cathode band marking, and 0.060 g mass. Complies with UL 94V-0 and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck converter); requires PCB copper area for thermal relief |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal | Marked by band; ties to output rail or ground return path; critical for correct polarity in snubber networks |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Enables stable reverse leakage (<1 µA at 25°C) and long-term reliability under humidity exposure |
| DO-214AC (SMA) package | Supports automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering while delivering 27 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance |
| J-STD-020 Level 1 rating | Eliminates bake preconditioning before SMT assembly, reducing manufacturing cycle time and cost |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU for environmentally compliant industrial production |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter | Snubber Network |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Output rectification in isolated flyback or forward converters operating at ≤100 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve converting transformer secondary AC to regulated DC output. Use Value: 1.1 V VF minimizes conduction loss at 1 A load; 50 V VRRM matches typical 36–48 V output designs. | Use Scenario: Voltage clamping across switching MOSFETs in motor drives or SMPS. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient energy sink during turn-off, absorbing inductive kickback via controlled avalanche. Use Value: 40 A IFSM withstands repeated 8.3 ms surges; 1500 ns trr ensures predictable clamp timing. |
| Lighting Driver | Switching Inverter |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in LED driver IC-based constant-current supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-efficiency AC-to-DC conversion stage feeding constant-current regulator ICs. Use Value: Low 1 µA IR at 25°C prevents standby power drain; DO-214AC footprint fits compact LED module layouts. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path in H-bridge inverters for HVAC blowers or small appliances. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional current path during dead-time commutation, preventing shoot-through. Use Value: 175°C TJ max supports operation near heat-generating IGBTs; 0.060 g mass avoids mechanical resonance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor M1A | VRRM = 50 V, VF = 1.1 V max, same DO-214AC package, but IFSM = 30 A (vs. 40 A) | Limited surge margin in high-inductance snubbers | Prefer S1A M2G where 40 A IFSM is required for reliability under transient stress |
| Vishay 1N4001-T | VRRM = 50 V, VF = 1.1 V max, axial DO-41 package, not surface-mountable | Requires through-hole PCB layout and manual assembly | Select S1A M2G for automated SMT production and space-constrained board designs |
Compared with M1A and 1N4001-T, the S1A M2G delivers superior surge robustness in SMT form factor and eliminates through-hole assembly steps - critical for high-volume industrial power modules requiring thermal and layout consistency.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of the S1A M2G?
The S1A M2G has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 50 V. This rating defines the highest reverse-biased voltage the device can block continuously without breakdown. It is verified per Taiwan Semiconductor's S2102 specification sheet and applies under standard test conditions (TA = 25°C). Exceeding 50 V risks irreversible avalanche failure in the S1A M2G.
Does the S1A M2G support automated surface-mount assembly?
Yes, the S1A M2G supports automated surface-mount assembly. Its DO-214AC (SMA) package is designed for pick-and-place machines and reflow soldering per J-STD-002. With J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity, the S1A M2G requires no pre-bake, enabling direct use from sealed tape-and-reel packaging in high-throughput SMT lines.
What is the forward voltage drop of the S1A M2G at rated current?
The S1A M2G exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop (VF) of 1.1 V at 1 A forward current and 25°C junction temperature. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and represents worst-case conduction loss. At higher temperatures or currents, VF may increase slightly, but remains within design margins for 1 A DC applications using the S1A M2G.
Is the S1A M2G RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the S1A M2G is fully RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Taiwan Semiconductor confirms this in the S2102 datasheet, and the device carries appropriate markings on its cathode band. These certifications apply to the entire S1A M2G unit, including molding compound and matte tin-plated leads.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to lead for the S1A M2G?
The junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of the S1A M2G is 27 °C/W, as specified in the Thermal Performance section of the S2102 datasheet. This parameter enables accurate calculation of junction temperature rise above lead temperature under conduction loss, supporting thermal design validation without heatsinks for 1 A operation in the S1A M2G.
