Product details
Overview
6A20GHR0G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a glass-passivated standard rectifier diode rated for 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 6 A average forward current, and 250 A non-repetitive surge current, with 1.0 V typical forward voltage at 6 A and 25°C - used in DC-DC converters and switching inverters requiring high reliability and low power loss.
For engineers reviewing the 6A20GHR0G datasheet, 6A20GHR0G pinout, 6A20GHR0G application, or 6A20GHR0G equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 200 V, IF = 6 A, IFSM = 250 A, TJMAX = 150°C, and R-6 package compatibility with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Technical Context
This device implements a single-die, silicon PN junction rectifier structure with glass passivation for enhanced moisture and contamination resistance. Its thermal design delivers RθJA = 35°C/W and supports continuous operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature.
Electrical behavior is characterized by low forward voltage (1.0 V typ. at 6 A, 25°C), low leakage (≤10 µA at 200 V, 25°C), and junction capacitance of 60 pF at 4 V reverse bias - enabling efficient high-frequency switching in SMPS and converter topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage before breakdown; defines usable input voltage range in AC/DC and DC/DC stages |
| IF | 6 A - continuous average forward current rating; sets minimum heatsinking requirement for steady-state conduction |
| IFSM | 250 A - peak non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine); withstands inrush and fault transients without failure |
| VF | 1.0 V typ. @ 6 A, 25°C - low conduction loss directly reduces power dissipation and improves system efficiency |
| RθJA | 35 °C/W - junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; determines required PCB copper area or heatsink for thermal management |
| Junction Temp | –55°C to +150°C - operational range enabling use in automotive under-hood and industrial ambient environments |
| CJ | 60 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - low junction capacitance minimizes switching losses and EMI in high-frequency converters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar standard rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH6L06S | VRRM = 600 V, IF = 6 A, VF = 1.15 V typ., TO-220AC package | Higher voltage rating but larger footprint and higher conduction loss; requires different mounting and thermal interface | Select when 600 V blocking is required and board space allows TO-220 layout |
| ON Semi MUR620CT | Dual common-cathode configuration, VRRM = 200 V per diode, IF = 6 A per leg, VF = 0.95 V typ., TO-220AB | Provides dual-diode functionality in one package; not pin-compatible; requires redesign of bridge layout | Choose for cost-sensitive dual-rectifier designs where shared cathode simplifies PCB routing |
Compared with STTH6L06S and MUR620CT, the 6A20GHR0G offers optimal balance of 200 V rating, R-6 compactness, 1.0 V VF, and AEC-Q101 qualification - making it preferred for space-constrained automotive and industrial rectifiers where single-diode topology and reliability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the 6A20GHR0G?
The 6A20GHR0G has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of +150°C, allowing operation in high-ambient environments such as automotive under-hood locations or enclosed industrial power supplies. This rating is validated per JEDEC standards and supported by its R-6 package's 35°C/W thermal resistance. Derating curves in the official datasheet define safe current limits above 25°C ambient.
Is the 6A20GHR0G AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, the "H" in 6A20GHR0G explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification per Version F2104 of the datasheet. This certification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life - confirming suitability for automotive power electronics including onboard chargers and lighting drivers.
What does the "R0G" suffix indicate in 6A20GHR0G?
The "R0G" suffix identifies the packaging and environmental compliance: "R" indicates R-6 package, "0" is a placeholder for date code format, and "G" confirms halogen-free molding compound per IEC 61249-2-21. The full ordering code 6A20GHR0G thus specifies AEC-Q101 qualified, R-6 packaged, halogen-free 200 V rectifier.
What is the forward voltage of the 6A20GHR0G at rated current?
The 6A20GHR0G exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 1.0 V at IF = 6 A and TJ = 25°C, measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms). This low VF contributes directly to reduced conduction losses and improved thermal performance compared to higher-VF alternatives in the same voltage class.
Does the 6A20GHR0G have a specified junction capacitance?
Yes, the 6A20GHR0G has a typical junction capacitance (CJ) of 60 pF, measured at 1 MHz and 4.0 V reverse bias. This parameter is relevant for high-frequency switching behavior, influencing turn-off losses and EMI generation in SMPS and inverter applications where fast recovery is not required but capacitive loading matters.
