Product details
Overview
S2MAL from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2 A, 1000 V standard surface-mount rectifier diode in a Thin SMA package, featuring glass-passivated junction, 50 A surge rating (8.3 ms), and 150 °C max junction temperature - used in high-voltage DC-DC converters and switching inverters.
For engineers reviewing the S2MAL datasheet, S2MAL pinout, S2MAL application, or S2MAL equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (1000 V), forward voltage at 2 A (≤1.10 V @ 25°C), thermal resistance (RθJL = 14 °C/W), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance.
Technical Context
The S2MAL is a single-die, standard recovery rectifier optimized for high-voltage switching-mode power supplies. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse leakage (<1 µA @ 25°C, <33 µA @ 125°C) and robust surge handling (140 A @ 1 ms).
Thermal performance is characterized with RθJA = 74 °C/W on a 5 mm × 5 mm Cu pad PCB, supporting continuous 2 A operation up to 125°C ambient when properly heatsinked via lead conduction (RθJL = 14 °C/W).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - supports input stages in 800 V-class AC/DC front-ends and industrial HV DC-DC designs |
| IF | 2 A continuous - rated for sustained output rectification in 20–40 W isolated SMPS |
| IFSM (8.3 ms) | 50 A - withstands inrush and transient surges in offline converter startup |
| VF @ 2 A, 25°C | ≤1.10 V - limits conduction loss to ≤2.2 W at full load, easing thermal design |
| TJ max | +150 °C - enables operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments |
| RθJL | 14 °C/W - allows efficient heat transfer through leads to PCB copper, reducing need for extra thermal vias |
| CJ | 12 pF @ 4 V - minimizes switching node capacitance in high-frequency flyback or LLC resonant circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: Thin SMA - low-profile surface-mount package (2.7 mm × 4.2 mm × 1.7 mm), matte tin-plated leads, cathode indicated by band, MSL Level 1, UL 94V-0 molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2R010DJF | 1000 V, 2 A, TO-277 package (higher RθJA = 90 °C/W), faster recovery (trr = 45 ns) | Better for high-frequency (>100 kHz) PFC stages; requires larger footprint and thermal relief | Choose STTH2R010DJF when fast recovery and lower EMI are critical; S2MAL preferred for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained layouts |
| ON Semi MUR220 | 200 V rating only; same Thin SMA package, but not voltage-compatible for 1000 V use | Limited to low-voltage DC-DC; cannot substitute directly in S2MAL's 1000 V applications | Select MUR220 only for ≤200 V designs; S2MAL remains required where 1000 V PIV is mandated by system architecture |
Compared with STTH2R010DJF and MUR220, the S2MAL uniquely balances 1000 V capability, MSL Level 1 manufacturability, and low-profile Thin SMA packaging - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability industrial power supplies where standard recovery speed suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of the S2MAL?
The S2MAL has a VRRM of 1000 V, confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version B2103). This rating defines its ability to block reverse voltage in high-voltage power supply applications such as telecom DC-DC converters and solar microinverter auxiliary supplies. Exceeding this value risks irreversible junction breakdown.
Does the S2MAL have a specified forward voltage at 2 A and 125°C?
Yes - the S2MAL's forward voltage is specified as ≤0.98 V at 2 A and 25°C, and ≤0.98 V (max) at 2 A and 125°C per the Electrical Specifications table. This ensures predictable conduction loss under elevated temperature conditions typical in enclosed industrial power supplies, directly supporting thermal design validation for the S2MAL.
Is the S2MAL RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes - the S2MAL is explicitly stated as RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21 in the Features section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This compliance is verified for all production lots and applies to both lead finish and molding compound, meeting export and industrial safety requirements for the S2MAL.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of the S2MAL?
The S2MAL carries Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (MSL 1) per J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/85% RH and placed directly onto PCBs using standard reflow profiles without pre-baking. This MSL rating is documented in the Features section and confirmed in the Mechanical Data table for the S2MAL.
Can the S2MAL replace the S2DAL in a 200 V circuit?
Yes - the S2MAL is functionally backward-compatible with the S2DAL in 200 V circuits because it shares identical package (Thin SMA), pinout, thermal characteristics, and forward conduction behavior. However, the S2MAL's higher VRRM does not improve efficiency or reduce VF; substitution should be validated for cost and availability impact, not performance gain, in the S2MAL application.
