Product details
Overview
ABS8 REG from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 800V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) standard single-phase bridge rectifier in ABS surface-mount package, featuring glass-passivated junctions, 30A peak surge current (IFSM), and AEC-Q101 qualification option (ABS8H). It delivers reliable AC-to-DC conversion in compact power adapters and lighting drivers.
For engineers reviewing the ABS8 REG datasheet, ABS8 REG pinout, ABS8 REG application, or ABS8 REG equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 800 V, IF = 1.0 A on aluminum substrate, RθJA = 80 °C/W, moisture sensitivity level 1, and UL recognition E-326854 - all critical for thermal design, automotive compliance, and automated SMT placement.
Technical Context
The ABS8 REG implements a quad-diode full-wave bridge configuration with common-cathode/common-anode topology, enabling single-phase AC input rectification without external diode pairing. Its glass-passivated chip junction ensures stable reverse leakage (<10 µA at 25°C) and robustness against humidity and thermal cycling.
Thermally, it relies on lead-frame conduction (RθJL = 25 °C/W) and PCB copper area for dissipation, with derated forward current dropping to 0.8 A on FR-4 and maintaining 1.0 A only when mounted on aluminum substrate - a key constraint for high-reliability lighting and adapter designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - supports 560 V RMS input; suitable for universal AC mains (85–265 VAC) with margin |
| IF | 1.0 A (on aluminum substrate) - continuous DC output current capability under optimized thermal layout |
| IFSM | 30 A - withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge; handles inrush in SMPS startup |
| VF | ≤0.95 V @ 0.4 A - low conduction loss per diode; total bridge drop ≤1.9 V at rated load |
| TJ max | 150 °C - enables operation in enclosed, thermally constrained environments like LED drivers |
| RθJA | 80 °C/W - requires ≥1 cm² copper pour on 1 oz Cu layer for safe 1 A operation at 50°C ambient |
Pinout & Package

Applications
| LED Lighting Driver | USB-C Power Adapter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 100–277 VAC input in constant-current LED driver PCBs for streetlights and commercial fixtures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary AC/DC conversion stage; provides isolated DC bus for downstream buck or flyback controller. Use Value: 800 V VRRM accommodates 277 VAC line surges; 150 °C TJ max allows operation inside sealed, thermally insulated housings. | Use Scenario: Input-stage bridge in compact 30–65 W USB PD adapters with universal AC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Full-wave rectifier feeding active PFC or quasi-resonant flyback controller. Use Value: ABS package footprint minimizes board area; 30 A IFSM absorbs inrush during cold-start without derating. |
| Industrial Control Power Supply | Smart Home Gateway Power Stage |
Use Scenario: Mains-powered PLC I/O module requiring long-term reliability across -40°C to +85°C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end rectifier converting AC to unregulated DC for linear or switching regulators. Use Value: UL Recognized File #E-326854 satisfies safety certification requirements; RoHS/halogen-free compliance meets industrial environmental mandates. | Use Scenario: Low-profile AC/DC power section in wall-mounted smart home hubs with space-constrained PCBs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compact bridge rectifier enabling <12 mm height profile while supporting 230 VAC nominal input. Use Value: ABS package height ≤2.3 mm; moisture level 1 eliminates pre-bake, accelerating NPI and small-batch production. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU8K (ON Semiconductor) | VRRM = 800 V, IF = 8 A, GBU package (larger, through-hole); RθJA ≈ 50 °C/W | Requires PCB hole drilling and wave soldering; unsuitable for fully SMT lines | Select when higher current headroom or legacy through-hole assembly is mandated |
| ABS8M (Diotec) | VRRM = 800 V, IF = 1.0 A, same ABS package; no AEC-Q101 option; IR = 5 µA max @ 25°C | Lacks automotive qualification; tighter reverse leakage spec but no UL file | Select for cost-sensitive consumer lighting where AEC-Q101 and UL recognition are not required |
Compared with GBU8K and ABS8M, ABS8 REG offers the optimal balance of SMT compatibility, UL recognition, and AEC-Q101 availability in the ABS footprint - making it the preferred choice for new automotive-adjacent and certified industrial designs requiring surface-mount efficiency and compliance traceability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for ABS8 REG?
The ABS8 REG has a rated forward current (IF) of 1.0 A when mounted on an aluminum substrate, and 0.8 A on standard FR-4 glass-epoxy PCB. This derating reflects thermal limitations - the device's RθJA of 80 °C/W requires adequate copper area or metal-core board to sustain 1 A continuously. Always verify junction temperature using actual board layout and ambient conditions in your design.
Does ABS8 REG meet automotive reliability standards?
Yes - the ABS8H variant (AEC-Q101 qualified) is available and validated per JESD22-A101, A108, and A114 for temperature cycling, high-acceleration stress test, and mechanical shock. The standard ABS8 REG is not AEC-Q101 qualified; only ABS8H carries this certification. Designers must specify ABS8H explicitly for automotive applications such as headlamp drivers or body control modules.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for ABS8 REG at elevated temperature?
At 125°C junction temperature and rated reverse voltage, ABS8 REG exhibits a maximum reverse current (IR) of 150 µA per diode. At 25°C, the limit is 10 µA. These values are measured under pulsed conditions (30 ms pulse width) and reflect the device's glass-passivated junction stability - critical for low-power standby modes in energy-efficient lighting systems.
Is ABS8 REG compliant with RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes - ABS8 REG is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants, and the matte tin-plated leads meet JEDEC J-STD-002 solderability requirements. This makes ABS8 REG suitable for export to EU, China, and other regulated markets requiring full substance compliance documentation.
What is the UL recognition status of ABS8 REG?
ABS8 REG is UL Recognized under File #E-326854, confirming compliance with UL 60747-4 for semiconductor devices. This recognition covers flammability (UL 94V-0), electrical insulation, and construction integrity - enabling faster end-product safety certification for power supplies and lighting equipment targeting North American markets.
