Product details
Overview
ABS6-T from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 A, 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) standard quad bridge rectifier in ABS package, featuring glass-passivated junctions, 30 A non-repetitive surge capability (8.3 ms), and UL Recognized construction (E-326854) for SMPS input-stage AC/DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the ABS6-T datasheet, ABS6-T pinout, ABS6-T application, or ABS6-T equivalent, key selection criteria include forward current derating on PCB substrate type, thermal resistance (RθJL = 25 °C/W), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and compliance with JESD201 Class 1A whisker testing and IEC 61249-2-21 halogen-free requirements.
Technical Context
The ABS6-T integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration, optimized for high-efficiency AC line rectification in compact power supplies. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse leakage (<10 µA at 25°C, <150 µA at 125°C) and robust surge tolerance (IFSM = 30 A at TJ = 25°C).
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 25 °C/W and RθJA = 80 °C/W, supporting operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature. The ABS molded plastic case meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating and features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage per diode; defines safe AC input voltage ceiling (e.g., 420 V RMS) |
| IF | 1.0 A - Continuous forward current rating when mounted on aluminum substrate; derates to 0.8 A on glass-epoxy |
| IFSM | 30 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine); supports inrush current handling in offline SMPS |
| VF | ≤0.95 V - Max forward voltage per diode at 0.4 A and 25°C; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal load |
| RθJL | 25 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables direct heatsinking via PCB copper or metal-core board |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; sets upper limit for thermal design margin |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU6K (ON Semiconductor) | Same ABS package, 600 V VRRM, but higher IF = 1.5 A (aluminum substrate); VF = 1.05 V max | Slightly higher conduction loss; better suited for higher continuous load currents | Select GBU6K if average forward current exceeds 1.0 A or if higher surge margin (50 A IFSM) is required |
| DB107S (Diodes Inc.) | ABS package, 1.0 A IF, 1000 V VRRM; VF = 1.1 V max; no UL recognition | Higher voltage rating trades off against lower surge rating (25 A IFSM) and missing safety certification | Select DB107S only where >600 V reverse margin is mandatory and UL listing is not required |
Compared with GBU6K and DB107S, the ABS6-T offers optimal balance of certified safety (UL E-326854), MSL Level 1 process compatibility, and thermal performance (RθJL = 25 °C/W), making it preferred for cost-sensitive, high-volume industrial and consumer power supplies requiring regulatory compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for ABS6-T?
The ABS6-T has a rated forward current (IF) of 1.0 A when mounted on an aluminum substrate, and 0.8 A when mounted on glass-epoxy PCB material. This derating reflects thermal dissipation differences between substrates and must be applied in thermal design calculations for ABS6-T to ensure junction temperature remains ≤150°C under worst-case ambient conditions.
Does ABS6-T require baking before reflow soldering?
No, ABS6-T does not require baking prior to reflow soldering because it is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life and is safe for standard lead-free reflow profiles without preconditioning. This simplifies manufacturing flow and reduces handling cost for ABS6-T in high-volume SMT lines.
Is ABS6-T UL Recognized, and what is its file number?
Yes, ABS6-T is UL Recognized under file number E-326854. This certification confirms compliance with UL 60747-4 for semiconductor devices and validates its suitability for use in end equipment requiring safety agency approval-no additional component-level testing is needed when using ABS6-T in certified designs.
What is the peak non-repetitive forward surge current rating for ABS6-T?
The ABS6-T supports a peak non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) of 30 A for an 8.3 ms single half-sine wave at TJ = 25°C. At elevated junction temperature (125°C), this rating reduces to 25 A. This surge capability allows ABS6-T to reliably handle cold-start inrush currents in offline SMPS applications.
What does the marking code 'ABS6' indicate on the ABS6-T device?
The marking code 'ABS6' laser-etched on the ABS6-T package identifies it as the 600 V variant within the ABS6-T to ABS10-T family. It corresponds directly to the 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) specification and distinguishes ABS6-T from ABS8-T (800 V) and ABS10-T (1000 V) variants in visual inspection and automated sorting.
