HS5M

Single Diodes Overview

The HS5M is a general-purpose standard rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor. It features a single-phase, half-wave configuration housed in the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package. The device is rated for a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000V and an average forward rectified current of 5A. It utilizes a molded plastic epoxy case that meets UL flammability classification 94V-0. The component is designed for use in various power supply and rectification applications requiring high voltage blocking capabilities.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High voltage blocking capability suitable for demanding power applications
• Surface-mount construction for automated assembly efficiency
• Robust plastic encapsulation with UL recognized flammability rating

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in AC to DC converters
• Power supply input stages
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code on the ordering information to ensure correct tape and reel or cut tape packaging options. Confirm the manufacturer date code and lot traceability requirements prior to purchase. Ensure the procurement channel provides original manufacturer documentation to guarantee component authenticity and compliance with RoHS directives.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000V reverse voltage rating is required in a compact SMC footprint. Compare thermal resistance values against the expected ambient temperature and current load to ensure junction temperature limits are not exceeded. Consider the HS5G variant if a lower 400V rating suffices for the circuit design to optimize cost.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Taiwan Semiconductor's family of surface-mount rectifiers. It shares the DO-214AB package form factor with other devices in the series but differs in voltage ratings. It serves as a higher voltage alternative to lower-rated siblings like the HS5G, providing flexibility for designs requiring robust reverse bias protection in space-constrained environments.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

The HS5G is a verified substitute offering identical package dimensions and current ratings with a reduced 400V reverse voltage rating. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed 400V before substituting. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance characteristics match the original design constraints.
