Product details
Overview
S1Q from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 A, 1200 V surface-mount silicon rectifier diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring glass-passivated junction, low reverse leakage (≤1 µA at 25°C), and 30 A surge rating (8.3 ms). It serves as a high-voltage freewheeling or output rectifier in offline SMPS and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the S1Q datasheet, S1Q pinout, S1Q application, or S1Q equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (1200 V), forward voltage drop (0.95 V @ 1 A, 25°C), thermal resistance (RθJL = 22 °C/W), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance.
Technical Context
The S1Q is a single-die, standard recovery rectifier optimized for high-voltage switching power supplies. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse characteristics across temperature (IR ≤ 30 µA at 125°C) and long-term reliability under repetitive surge stress (IFSM = 30 A).
Thermal performance is characterized with PCB mounting on 5 mm × 5 mm copper pads: RθJA = 55 °C/W (still air), RθJC = 25 °C/W, enabling operation up to TJ = 150°C with appropriate board layout and airflow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1200 V - supports primary-side rectification in universal-input offline SMPS without derating |
| IF | 1 A continuous - suitable for low-to-medium power outputs (e.g., ≤15 W flyback) |
| IFSM | 30 A (8.3 ms) - withstands typical AC line surge transients without failure |
| VF | 0.95 V max @ 1 A, 25°C - limits conduction loss and self-heating in compact layouts |
| RθJL | 22 °C/W - enables direct thermal path to PCB copper, critical for thermal management in sealed enclosures |
| CJ | 8 pF @ 4 V - minimizes switching noise and EMI in high-frequency converters (e.g., >100 kHz) |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AC (SMA), surface-mount, single-anode/single-cathode configuration. Cathode indicated by molded band. Matte tin-plated leads, J-STD-002 solderable, MSL Level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Cathode (lead 2, banded end) | Current exit point during forward conduction | Connected to output capacitor positive rail or load return; defines polarity-sensitive placement |
Key Features

Applications
| Offline Flyback SMPS | Industrial DC-DC Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Primary-side rectification in universal-input (85–265 VAC) 12 W adapter with 65 kHz switching frequency. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage output rectifier handling 1200 V reverse stress during MOSFET turn-off. Use Value: Low VF (0.95 V) reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. legacy 1N4007; DO-214AC enables automated placement and higher power density. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling diode across relay coil or inductive load in 24 V industrial control module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp inductive kickback energy during switch turn-off; absorbs 30 A surge pulses. Use Value: 30 A IFSM rating prevents catastrophic failure during repeated coil de-energization; MSL 1 simplifies SMT line integration. |
| Solar Microinverter DC Link | LED Driver Secondary Rectification |
Use Scenario: DC bus clamping diode in half-bridge topology operating at 1000 V DC link voltage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-biased protection device blocking 1200 V during normal operation; conducts only during fault conditions. Use Value: 1200 V VRRM provides 20% margin above 1000 V bus, ensuring long-term reliability under voltage transients. | Use Scenario: Output rectifier in constant-current LED driver powering 36 V string (12×3 V LEDs) from 48 V input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path delivering regulated DC to LED load; operates continuously at 1 A. Use Value: 0.84 V VF @ 1 A, 125°C maintains efficiency >89% at full load and elevated ambient; halogen-free construction meets lighting safety standards. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R06 | VRRM = 600 V, VF = 0.95 V @ 1 A, RθJA = 65 °C/W | Lower voltage rating limits use to ≤300 VDC systems; less thermal margin | Select only if system VR < 500 V and board space allows larger thermal pad |
| ES1D | VRRM = 200 V, VF = 0.92 V @ 1 A, IFSM = 30 A, DO-214AC | Not rated for >200 V reverse stress-unsuitable for 1200 V applications | Use only in low-voltage secondary-side rectification where VRRM ≤ 200 V is sufficient |
Compared with STTH1R06 and ES1D, the S1Q uniquely supports 1200 V reverse blocking while maintaining low VF and industry-standard DO-214AC footprint-enabling direct replacement in high-voltage flyback and PFC stages where alternatives require redesign or derating.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the S1Q?
The S1Q has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows continuous operation in enclosed power supplies with limited airflow, provided thermal design achieves RθJA ≤ 55 °C/W using a 5 mm × 5 mm Cu pad. Derating begins above 125°C ambient per Fig.1 in the S1Q datasheet.
Does the S1Q support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, the S1Q features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 for solderability and qualified for lead-free reflow profiles (peak temperature ≤ 260°C). Its MSL Level 1 rating means no baking is required prior to assembly, simplifying manufacturing for high-volume SMT lines.
Is the S1Q pin-compatible with other DO-214AC rectifiers like the 1N4007?
No-the S1Q uses the DO-214AC (SMA) package, whereas the 1N4007 uses DO-41. Though both are axial-lead compatible in function, their footprints differ: DO-214AC requires 2.3 mm lead spacing and surface-mount pads, while DO-41 needs through-hole holes. The S1Q is physically and electrically incompatible with 1N4007 PCB layouts.
What is the reverse leakage current of the S1Q at elevated temperature?
At TJ = 125°C and rated VR, the S1Q exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 30 µA, per electrical specifications. This low leakage preserves efficiency in high-temperature environments such as enclosed LED drivers or industrial motor controls where ambient exceeds 85°C.
Can the S1Q be used in avalanche mode?
No-the S1Q is not rated or characterized for avalanche energy absorption. It is designed as a standard recovery rectifier for forward conduction and reverse blocking only. For avalanche-rated devices, consider TSC's AV series or dedicated TVS diodes; using the S1Q beyond VRRM risks irreversible junction damage.
