Product details
Overview
S5KBH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount silicon rectifier diode rated for 5 A average forward current and 800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, featuring glass-passivated junction, low forward voltage drop (≤1.1 V at 5 A), and high surge capability (200 A @ 8.3 ms). It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used in automotive DC-DC converters and freewheeling circuits.
For engineers reviewing the S5KBH datasheet, S5KBH pinout, S5KBH application, or S5KBH equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-214AA (SMB) package, 800 V VRRM, 5 A IF, 200 A IFSM, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The S5KBH is a single-die, unidirectional silicon rectifier optimized for high-efficiency AC/DC and DC/DC conversion. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse leakage (<10 µA at 25°C) and robust thermal performance with RθJA = 47 °C/W and RθJL = 13 °C/W.
Designed for automated SMT assembly, it supports reflow soldering per J-STD-002, features matte tin-plated leads, and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94V-0 flammability requirements in its DO-214AA (SMB) molded package.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH5L06W | 600 V VRRM, 5 A IF, TO-277 package, slightly higher VF (1.15 V) | Limited to ≤600 V systems; TO-277 requires different pad layout | Select when lower cost and TO-277 compatibility outweigh need for 800 V rating |
| ON Semi MUR580 | 800 V VRRM, 5 A IF, DO-214AC (SMA) package, faster recovery (~75 ns) | Smaller footprint but lower surge rating (150 A IFSM) and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Select when fast recovery is critical and automotive qualification is not required |
Compared with STTH5L06W and MUR580, the S5KBH uniquely combines 800 V rating, AEC-Q101 qualification, and DO-214AA packaging-making it the only option among the three validated for under-hood automotive rectification where both voltage margin and reliability certification are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for the S5KBH?
The S5KBH has a VRRM of 800 V, meaning it can reliably block up to 800 V of reverse voltage in repetitive operation. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version A2102) and distinguishes S5KBH from S5GBH (400 V), S5JBH (600 V), and S5MBH (1000 V) in the same family. Exceeding 800 V risks avalanche breakdown.
Is the S5KBH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the S5KBH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified per the manufacturer's documentation. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and electrostatic discharge (ESD), confirming suitability for automotive power systems such as engine control units and lighting modules. The S5KBH datasheet (page 1) states this qualification unambiguously.
What package type does the S5KBH use, and is it RoHS compliant?
The S5KBH uses the DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads and is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Its molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and it carries moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020-enabling standard reflow without baking. These attributes are specified in the Mechanical Data and Ordering Information sections of the S5KBH datasheet.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of the S5KBH at rated current?
The S5KBH has a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at 5 A and 25°C junction temperature, measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms). This value is critical for calculating conduction losses in power stages. At elevated temperatures (e.g., 125°C), VF decreases slightly due to semiconductor physics, but the 1.1 V max remains the design limit for thermal modeling at room temperature.
Does the S5KBH have a specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA)?
Yes, the S5KBH has a typical RθJA of 47 °C/W when mounted on a standard JEDEC 2S2P copper pad (1 in², 2 oz Cu). This value is published in the Thermal Performance section of the datasheet and is essential for estimating junction temperature rise under real-world power dissipation. RθJL is 13 °C/W, supporting lead-based thermal relief in high-power layouts.
