Product details
Overview
S2K-T from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2 A, 800 V standard surface-mount silicon rectifier diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring glass-passivated junction, low reverse leakage (≤5 µA at 25°C), and 50 A surge rating (8.3 ms); used in DC-DC converters and switching-mode inverters.
For engineers reviewing the S2K-T datasheet, S2K-T pinout, S2K-T application, or S2K-T equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (800 V), forward voltage (0.95 V max at 2 A, 25°C), thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial power conversion designs.
Technical Context
The S2K-T is a single-die, unidirectional standard recovery rectifier with cathode-band polarity marking. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse characteristics across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and supports automated placement per J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Thermal performance is characterized with RθJA = 78 °C/W on a 10 mm × 10 mm copper pad PCB. Electrical behavior includes typical junction capacitance of 11 pF at 1 MHz/4 V and reverse current rising from ≤5 µA (25°C) to ≤300 µA (125°C) at rated VRRM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in high-voltage DC bus or flyback snubber circuits |
| IF | 2 A - average forward current rating; determines continuous conduction capability in 20–100 kHz SMPS output stages |
| IFSM (8.3 ms) | 50 A - non-repetitive surge current; enables robustness against line transients and startup inrush in industrial converters |
| VF @ 2 A, 25°C | 0.95 V max - forward drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design margin in compact SMB-footprint layouts |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - junction-to-lead thermal resistance; critical for estimating die temperature rise when soldered to copper pour without heatsink |
| IR @ 800 V, 125°C | ≤300 µA - elevated-temperature leakage current; affects standby power and reliability in high-ambient environments |
| Package | DO-214AA (SMB) - standardized surface-mount outline with 4.5 mm × 3.2 mm footprint and cathode band polarity indicator |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) package with two terminals: anode and cathode. Polarity marked by molded cathode band on body. Matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., transformer secondary center-tap or switch node return path) |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked by visible band; ties to output rail or filter capacitor positive; withstands up to 800 V reverse bias |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Enables stable long-term reverse leakage and humidity resistance without hermetic sealing |
| Junction temperature range | -55°C to +150°C operation supports deployment in automotive under-hood or industrial motor drive enclosures |
| Moisture sensitivity level | Level 1 per J-STD-020 - allows unlimited floor life before reflow, eliminating bake requirements |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS directives for environmentally constrained end equipment |
| UL 94V-0 molding compound | Self-extinguishing encapsulant meets safety standards for power supply and industrial control housings |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Switching Inverter Freewheeling Diode |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated 24–48 V input, 5–12 V output flyback or forward converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current steering device converting high-frequency AC from transformer to regulated DC output. Use Value: 0.95 V max VF at 2 A minimizes conduction loss; 800 V VRRM accommodates reflected voltage spikes in 48 V bus systems. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path for inductive loads in 3-phase IGBT-based motor inverters (e.g., HVAC compressors). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamping diode providing low-impedance return path during IGBT turn-off to suppress voltage overshoot. Use Value: 50 A IFSM handles transient energy from motor inductance; DO-214AA footprint fits tight gate-driver board spacing. |
| Industrial Power Supply Input Bridge | AC-DC Adapter Bulk Rectification |
Use Scenario: Single-diode element in discrete full-wave bridge configuration for 100–240 VAC input front-end supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standard recovery rectifier handling 50/60 Hz line frequency with minimal capacitive coupling. Use Value: 800 V VRRM provides 2× safety margin over 400 VDC peak line voltage; 150°C TJMAX supports derated operation in sealed enclosures. | Use Scenario: Primary-side rectification in universal-input (90–264 VAC) wall adapters delivering ≤24 W. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-efficiency, low-leakage rectifier replacing legacy axial-leaded devices in space-constrained designs. Use Value: ≤5 µA IR at 25°C reduces no-load power consumption; RoHS/halogen-free status meets global regulatory requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar standard rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2R08 | Same 2 A / 800 V rating; faster recovery time (~75 ns vs. ~2 µs), higher VF (1.15 V typ @ 2 A) | Better suited for high-frequency PFC stages; less optimal for low-loss linear-regulated outputs | Select STTH2R08 only if reduced reverse recovery charge is required and higher conduction loss is acceptable |
| ES2D | Lower VRRM (200 V); same DO-214AA package; slightly lower VF (0.92 V max @ 2 A) | Limited to ≤200 V DC bus applications; not suitable for 400 V+ systems | Use ES2D only in low-voltage auxiliary supplies where 800 V rating is unnecessary and cost optimization is primary |
Compared with STTH2R08 and ES2D, the S2K-T delivers optimal balance of 800 V blocking, low forward drop, and thermal robustness for general-purpose 2 A rectification-without trade-offs in recovery speed or voltage margin that compromise system-level reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the S2K-T?
The S2K-T has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This rating allows reliable operation in enclosed industrial environments and under sustained 2 A forward load with appropriate PCB copper area. Thermal design must account for RθJL = 20 °C/W to ensure the S2K-T stays within this limit.
Does the S2K-T have a specified reverse recovery time?
No, the S2K-T is a standard recovery rectifier and does not specify reverse recovery time (trr) in its datasheet. It is characterized by forward voltage, leakage current, and surge ratings-not fast-switching parameters. For applications requiring controlled trr, consider fast recovery alternatives like STTH2R08, but note the S2K-T remains appropriate for 50/60 Hz and ≤100 kHz switching topologies where soft recovery is acceptable.
Is the S2K-T RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the S2K-T is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the "Features" section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. The molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and matte tin-plated leads satisfy J-STD-002 solderability requirements-making the S2K-T suitable for environmentally regulated end equipment.
What is the marking code printed on the S2K-T device body?
The S2K-T is marked with "S2K" on the device body, as confirmed in the "Absolute Maximum Ratings" table under "Marking code on the device." This distinguishes it from other members of the S2x-T family (e.g., S2D-T = S2D, S2M-T = S2M). The marking appears adjacent to the cathode band and is laser-etched or molded into the DO-214AA (SMB) package.
Can the S2K-T replace the S2M-T in a 1000 V design?
No, the S2K-T cannot replace the S2M-T in a 1000 V design because its VRRM is rated at 800 V-not 1000 V. Exceeding the rated reverse voltage risks premature breakdown and catastrophic failure. The S2M-T is the correct choice for 1000 V applications; the S2K-T is strictly limited to systems where peak reverse voltage remains ≤800 V, such as 400 VDC bus with 2× safety margin.
