S2KA

Single Diodes Overview

The S2KA is a standard surface mount rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a glass passivated die construction and is housed in the DO-214AC (SMA) package. The device is rated for an average forward rectified current of 2.0 A at a case temperature of 130°C. It supports peak repetitive reverse voltages ranging from 50 V to 1000 V, with the 'K' suffix specifically denoting a 1000 V rating. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum DC blocking voltage of 1000 V, a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 60 A, and a low forward voltage drop.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction ensures stable performance and reliability under various operating conditions.
• Plastic molding compound meets UL flammability classification rating 94V-0 for enhanced safety.
• Designed for high efficiency applications through fast recovery time and low forward voltage drop.
• Capable of handling high surge overload currents, making it suitable for demanding power circuits.

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in AC/DC converters
• Power supply input stages
• Bypass protection diodes

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet to confirm the exact forward voltage and reverse leakage specifications, as these can vary slightly between production batches. Ensure the DO-214AC package footprint matches your PCB design requirements. Confirm that the 1000 V reverse voltage rating aligns with your circuit's peak inverse voltage demands to prevent breakdown.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2 A continuous current rating and 1000 V reverse voltage capability are required in a compact SMA surface mount package. It is suitable for designs prioritizing cost-effective general-purpose rectification over high-frequency switching applications. Consider thermal management if operating near the maximum junction temperature limit.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the S2 series of surface mount rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series offers various voltage ratings, with the S2KA representing the highest voltage option at 1000 V. It shares the same physical package and basic current handling capabilities as lower voltage variants like the S2JA or S2HA, differing primarily in its breakdown voltage specification.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 2 A current rating, 1000 V reverse voltage, and DO-214AC package. Equivalent parts from other manufacturers offering glass-passivated silicon rectifiers in this form factor may be substituted after verifying electrical parameter compatibility.
