Product details
Overview
6A10G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 6 A, 100 V glass-passivated standard silicon rectifier diode in R-6 package, featuring 1.1 V forward voltage at 6 A and 250 A surge capability, used in DC-DC converters and switching-mode inverters.
For engineers reviewing the 6A10G datasheet, 6A10G pinout, 6A10G application, or 6A10G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (100 V), forward current rating (6 A), thermal resistance (35 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance.
Technical Context
This single-die standard rectifier operates as a unidirectional power conversion device with a cathode-banded polarity marking. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse leakage (<10 µA at 25 °C) and high reliability under thermal cycling.
The R-6 package supports through-hole mounting with pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is fixed at 35 °C/W for natural convection in standard PCB layout.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar standard rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH6S06D (STMicroelectronics) | 6 A, 600 V, VF = 1.7 V @ 6 A, TO-220AC package | Higher VRRM but higher VF and larger footprint; requires heatsink above ~3 A | Select when >100 V reverse margin is required and board space allows TO-220 mounting |
| GBU6K (ON Semiconductor) | 6 A, 800 V, VF = 1.1 V @ 6 A, GBU package (4-pin bridge) | Integrated bridge configuration; not a single-diode replacement | Choose only if full-wave bridge topology is needed - not a direct 6A10G substitute |
Compared with STTH6S06D and GBU6K, the 6A10G offers optimal balance of low VF, compact R-6 form factor, and cost-effective through-hole integration for 100 V-class rectification where surge robustness and thermal simplicity are prioritized over ultra-high VRRM or integrated bridge functionality.

Manufacturer
Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation (TSC) is a vertically integrated analog and discrete semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in Hsinchu, Taiwan, serving industrial, computing, and consumer markets since 1979.
The 6A05G–6A100G series was designed specifically for cost-sensitive, high-reliability AC/DC and DC/DC power conversion applications demanding robust surge immunity, low conduction loss, and standardized through-hole packaging.
FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of the 6A10G?
The 6A10G has a VRRM rating of 100 V, meaning it can reliably block up to 100 V of reverse voltage in repetitive operation without breakdown. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official TSC datasheet (Version F2104) and defines the upper limit for safe use in rectifier circuits with peak inverse voltages below this threshold. Exceeding 100 V risks avalanche failure.
Does the 6A10G have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base 6A10G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the variant 6A10GH is explicitly listed as AEC-Q101 qualified in TSC's ordering information. The "H" suffix denotes automotive-grade validation including stress testing across temperature, humidity, and mechanical shock. For automotive applications, specify 6A10GH - the 6A10G itself meets industrial reliability standards but lacks formal automotive qualification.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of the 6A10G at its rated current?
The 6A10G exhibits a typical forward voltage of 1.1 V at 6 A and 25 °C junction temperature, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and represents the conduction loss during normal operation. At elevated temperatures (e.g., 125 °C), VF decreases slightly, while at higher currents beyond 6 A, it rises nonlinearly due to series resistance.
Can the 6A10G be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the 6A10G is packaged exclusively in the axial-leaded R-6 through-hole case and is not available in surface-mount variants. Its mechanical outline, lead spacing, and weight (≈1.65 g) are optimized for wave or hand soldering into plated-through holes. For SMT alternatives, consider TSC's SMBF or DO-214AA packages (e.g., 6A10W), but those are distinct part numbers with different ratings and footprints.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the 6A10G, and how does it affect layout?
The 6A10G has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 35 °C/W under standard test conditions (natural convection, FR-4 PCB, 1 in² copper pad). This means each watt of power dissipated raises the junction temperature by 35 °C above ambient. To maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C at full 6 A load (≈6.6 W loss), ambient must stay below ~130 °C - so adequate copper area and airflow are essential. Derating is required above 70 °C ambient.
