Product details
Overview
6A20G R0G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a glass-passivated standard rectifier diode with 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 6 A average forward current (IF), and 250 A surge capability (IFSM), designed for high-reliability DC-DC converters and switching-mode inverters.
For engineers reviewing the 6A20G R0G datasheet, 6A20G R0G pinout, 6A20G R0G application, or 6A20G R0G equivalent, key selection criteria include its R-6 package thermal resistance (35 °C/W), low forward voltage (1.0 V @ 6 A, 25 °C), and AEC-Q101 qualification option - critical for automotive power supply designs requiring robust surge immunity and long-term junction stability up to 150 °C.
Technical Context
This single-die standard rectifier operates in unidirectional conduction mode with cathode-band polarity marking. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse leakage (<10 µA @ 25 °C, <100 µA @ 125 °C) and high reliability under repeated surge stress (8.3 ms half-sine).
Thermally, it uses an R-6 molded package with UL 94V-0 compound and pure tin-plated leads. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is fixed at 35 °C/W, enabling sustained 6 A operation within ambient limits when heatsinking is applied per derating curves.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar standard rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH6S20FP (STMicroelectronics) | TO-220FP package, 200 V VRRM, 6 A IF, VF = 1.15 V @ 6 A | Higher thermal mass but requires PCB footprint change; not axial-leaded | Select when higher surge margin (300 A IFSM) and TO-220 mounting are preferred over R-6 space constraints |
| VS-6EWH02-M3/45 (Vishay) | DO-201AD package, 200 V VRRM, 6 A IF, VF = 1.05 V @ 6 A, RθJA = 45 °C/W | Smaller outline but higher thermal resistance; limited to lower ambient or forced-air cooling | Select when board space is constrained and peak ambient remains ≤50 °C with airflow |
Compared with STTH6S20FP and VS-6EWH02-M3/45, the 6A20G R0G offers optimal balance of axial-leaded R-6 compatibility, 35 °C/W thermal resistance, and 1.0 V VF - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, high-volume industrial and automotive power supplies where lead-forming and tape-and-reel automation are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the 6A20G R0G?
The 6A20G R0G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +150 °C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version F2104). This rating allows reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as engine compartments or enclosed industrial enclosures, provided thermal design respects the 35 °C/W RθJA limit and derates current above 25 °C ambient per the forward current derating curve.
Is the 6A20G R0G AEC-Q101 qualified?
The base 6A20G R0G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the variant 6A20GH R0G (with "H" suffix) is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified per the ordering information table in the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. Engineers requiring automotive-grade validation must specify the "H" version - the R0G suffix denotes R-6 packaging and green compound, not qualification status.
What does the "R0G" suffix mean in 6A20G R0G?
The "R0G" suffix in 6A20G R0G indicates R-6 package type ("R") and green molding compound ("G"), per Taiwan Semiconductor's marking and ordering conventions. "0" is a placeholder confirming standard (non-AEC-Q101) grade. It does not denote date code, factory, or revision - those appear separately as YWW and F in the full marking diagram.
How does the forward voltage of 6A20G R0G compare to lower-voltage variants like 6A05G?
The 6A20G R0G specifies VF = 1.0 V @ 6 A, 25 °C, whereas 6A05G and 6A10G list VF = 1.1 V under identical conditions. This 0.1 V reduction reflects process optimization for mid-voltage (200–1000 V) variants, directly lowering conduction losses in medium-voltage power supplies where 6A20G R0G is most commonly deployed.
Can the 6A20G R0G be used as a direct replacement for 6A20G without the R0G suffix?
Yes - the "R0G" suffix is a packaging and material designation (R-6, green compound), not a functional differentiation. All 6A20G devices share identical electrical specifications including VRRM = 200 V, IF = 6 A, VF = 1.0 V, and IFSM = 250 A. The 6A20G R0G is functionally and electrically identical to bare 6A20G in R-6 packaging; "R0G" simply confirms compliance with RoHS and halogen-free standards per IEC 61249-2-21.
