Product details
Overview
S5MBH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount silicon rectifier diode rated for 1000 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 5 A average forward current (IF), and 200 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM at 8.3 ms), with a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at 5 A and 25°C - used in automotive freewheeling and DC-DC converter snubber circuits.
For engineers reviewing the S5MBH datasheet, S5MBH pinout, S5MBH application, or S5MBH equivalent, key selection factors include its DO-214AA (SMB) package, AEC-Q101 qualification, glass-passivated junction, 150°C maximum junction temperature, and low 10 µA reverse leakage at 25°C.
Technical Context
The S5MBH is a single-die, unidirectional silicon rectifier optimized for high-voltage, medium-current switching applications. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable performance under thermal cycling and humidity exposure, while the matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, the S5MBH supports operation from –55°C to +150°C, exhibits 47°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA), and delivers 40 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz and 4.0 V reverse bias - critical for minimizing switching losses in snubber networks.
Key Specifications

| VRRM | 1000 V - supports primary-side rectification in 800 V-class AC/DC and isolated DC-DC converters |
| IF | 5 A continuous - sustains steady-state conduction in automotive lighting and power supply output stages |
| IFSM (8.3 ms) | 200 A - withstands inrush and transient surges without failure in motor drive freewheel paths |
| VF @ 5 A, 25°C | ≤1.1 V - reduces conduction loss and self-heating in thermally constrained SMB packages |
| IR @ 1000 V, 25°C | ≤10 µA - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance hold-up and sensing circuits |
| TJ max | +150°C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments without derating |
| RθJA | 47°C/W - defines thermal limit for PCB copper area design in natural-convection cooling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-5EWH10-M3 | Same DO-214AA package, 1000 V VRRM, but 1.25 V VF @ 5 A and 25°C; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not approved for automotive use; suitable for industrial power supplies only | Select if AEC-Q101 is not required and cost is prioritized over thermal efficiency |
| ON Semiconductor MUR5100CT | TO-220AC package, dual common-cathode configuration, 1000 V, 5 A per die; higher RθJA (50°C/W) | Requires heatsink for 5 A operation; incompatible pinout and board space | Select only when dual-diode topology or through-hole mounting is mandatory |
Compared with VS-5EWH10-M3 and MUR5100CT, the S5MBH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, low 1.1 V forward drop, and SMB footprint - making it the only choice for space-constrained, thermally demanding automotive freewheeling where reliability and efficiency are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the S5MBH?
The S5MBH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official datasheet. This allows uninterrupted operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings. The S5MBH maintains full 5 A current capability up to 85°C ambient when mounted on a standard 1-inch² copper pad, thanks to its 47°C/W RθJA.
Is the S5MBH pin-compatible with other parts in the S5xBH series?
Yes - all S5xBH variants (S5GBH, S5JBH, S5KBH, S5MBH) share identical DO-214AA (SMB) package dimensions, pinout, and thermal characteristics. Only the VRRM rating differs: 400 V to 1000 V. The S5MBH uses marking code "S5MB" and can be substituted on the same footprint where 1000 V blocking is required, with no PCB changes needed.
Does the S5MBH meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the S5MBH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified per the manufacturer's documentation. It has passed stress tests including high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), temperature cycling (TC), high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and unbiased highly accelerated stress test (UHAST). This certification confirms suitability for automotive powertrain, body control, and lighting modules.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the S5MBH at 125°C?
At 125°C and rated reverse voltage (1000 V), the S5MBH exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 250 µA, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured using a 30 ms pulse test and reflects stable junction behavior under elevated thermal stress - critical for maintaining system efficiency in hot under-hood locations.
Can the S5MBH be used in snubber circuits?
Yes, the S5MBH is recommended for snubber applications, particularly in flyback and forward converters. Its 40 pF junction capacitance (CJ) at 1 MHz and 4.0 V, combined with low forward voltage and high surge capability, enables effective energy clamping with minimal parasitic oscillation. The S5MBH appears in the official Applications list under "Snubber" and "Freewheeling application".
