HS15GLW

Single Diodes Overview

The HS15GLW is a single rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.5A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400V. The device exhibits a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 5µA at rated voltage. Forward voltage characteristics specify a maximum value of 1.3V when tested at 1.5A. The component utilizes a DO-201AD axial leaded package, suitable for through-hole mounting applications requiring standard recovery performance.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides reliable rectification with a 1.5A average forward current rating
• Supports high-voltage blocking up to 400V in reverse bias conditions
• Utilizes a robust DO-201AD axial leaded package for secure mounting

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose power supply rectification circuits
• DC output filtering in low-power adapters
• Protection against reverse polarity in battery-powered devices

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GLW corresponds to the standard recovery variant rather than ultra-fast or Schottky types. Confirm the manufacturer datasheet specifies the exact thermal resistance values for your enclosure design. Ensure the DO-201AD footprint matches your PCB layout requirements before finalizing orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery diode is required for currents up to 1.5A. The 400V rating provides sufficient margin for common 220V AC rectification stages. Consider thermal management if operating near the maximum current limit in enclosed spaces.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the general-purpose rectifier category within Taiwan Semiconductor's portfolio. It serves as a fundamental discrete semiconductor component for converting alternating current to direct current in various electronic assemblies.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalents such as the HS15GLWH for high-efficiency recovery variants. Verify pinout compatibility with DO-201AD packages from other manufacturers like Vishay or Diodes Inc.
