Product details
Overview
S1KL from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 800V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) standard surface-mount silicon rectifier diode in Sub SMA package, featuring glass-passivated junction, 30A peak forward surge current (IFSM), and 175°C maximum junction temperature - used in DC-DC converters and switching-mode inverters.
For engineers reviewing the S1KL datasheet, S1KL pinout, S1KL application, or S1KL equivalent, key selection factors include its 800V VRRM, 1.1V max forward voltage at 1A, 5µA max reverse leakage at 25°C, 1800ns reverse recovery time, and Sub SMA thermal performance with RθJL = 30°C/W.
Technical Context
The S1KL is a single-die, unidirectional standard recovery rectifier optimized for general-purpose and medium-frequency switching applications up to ~10 kHz. Its 1800ns reverse recovery time and 9pF junction capacitance reflect trade-offs between switching loss and conduction efficiency.
Thermally, it uses a Sub SMA package with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, rated for 175°C junction operation and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020. Thermal resistance from junction-to-lead is 30°C/W for S1KL–S1ML variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage the device blocks reliably in circuit |
| IF | 1 A continuous - Average forward current rating at TA = 75°C with adequate PCB copper area |
| IFSM | 30 A - Peak surge current capability for 8.3ms half-sine, critical for input rectification inrush handling |
| VF (max) | 1.1 V @ 1A, 25°C - Directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in power stage design |
| IR (max) | 5 µA @ 800V, 25°C - Low leakage supports stable DC bus hold-up and reduces standby power loss |
| trr | 1800 ns - Defines minimum off-time in hard-switched topologies; limits usable frequency range |
| TJ(max) | 175°C - Enables high-temperature operation in enclosed or thermally constrained environments |
Pinout & Package
Sub SMA package: surface-mount, single-anode/single-cathode configuration with cathode indicated by molded band; lead finish is matte tin, compliant with J-STD-002 solderability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to AC input or lower-potential node; must handle full 1A RMS and surge currents |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point | Marked by band; connects to DC output/bus; carries same current as anode with polarity-dependent voltage drop |

Applications
| AC-DC Front-End Rectification | DC-DC Converter Input Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Single-phase bridge or half-wave rectification feeding bulk capacitor in offline SMPS. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standard recovery rectifier providing unidirectional current path with 800V blocking capability. Use Value: Low 1.1V VF minimizes conduction loss at 1A; 30A IFSM withstands line surge transients. | Use Scenario: Input rectification in isolated flyback or forward converters operating from 24–48V DC sources. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side freewheeling or clamp rectifier handling pulsed forward current. Use Value: 1800ns trr compatible with ≤100kHz switching; Sub SMA enables automated assembly on dense control boards. |
| Switching Inverter Output Stage | Industrial Power Supply Hold-Up |
Use Scenario: Freewheeling path in H-bridge motor drive inverters or UPS output stages. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current steering during inductive energy recirculation. Use Value: 175°C TJ(max) sustains operation under high ambient temperatures common in enclosed drives. | Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in telecom or server PSUs requiring >10ms hold-up time. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main output rectifier delivering regulated 12V/48V with low leakage and stable VF. Use Value: 5µA max IR at 25°C preserves capacitor charge; glass passivation ensures long-term parameter stability. |
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 MUR180 | 800V VRRM, 1A IF, but ultrafast (trr = 75ns); higher VF (1.3V typ) | Better suited for higher-frequency (>50kHz) switching where recovery loss dominates | Select MUR180 only if trr reduction justifies higher conduction loss and cost premium |
| Vishay ES1J | 600V VRRM, same 1A IF, 35ns trr, Sub SMA package | Limited to ≤600V systems; unsuitable for 800V-rated input designs | Use ES1J only when system VRMS ≤420V and faster recovery is required |
Compared with MUR180 and ES1J, the S1KL provides optimal balance of 800V blocking, low-cost standard recovery performance, and robust thermal rating - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, medium-frequency industrial and converter applications where ultrafast recovery is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) rating for the S1KL?
The S1KL has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 800 V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table across all official Taiwan Semiconductor documentation versions (Q2108). This defines the highest reverse voltage the S1KL can block continuously without breakdown under specified thermal conditions.
Does the S1KL have a specified reverse recovery time (trr) and what is its value?
Yes, the S1KL has a specified reverse recovery time (trr) of 1800 ns under test conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This value is published in the Electrical Specifications section of the Taiwan Semiconductor S1xL datasheet (Version Q2108) and reflects its standard recovery behavior.
What package type is used for the S1KL and is it compatible with automated assembly processes?
The S1KL uses the Sub SMA surface-mount package, explicitly stated in the Ordering Information and Mechanical Data sections. It is designed for automated placement, with moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020 and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 - confirming full compatibility with standard SMT reflow processes without pre-baking.
What is the maximum forward voltage (VF) of the S1KL at its rated current?
The maximum forward voltage (VF) of the S1KL is 1.1 V at IF = 1 A and TJ = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This value represents the worst-case conduction drop under nominal conditions and is critical for calculating power dissipation and thermal design margins for the S1KL.
Is the S1KL RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the S1KL is RoHS compliant and halogen-free in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor S1xL datasheet (Version Q2108). The Sub SMA molding compound also meets UL 94V-0 flammability requirements.
