Product details
Overview
GP1603 C0G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 16A, 200V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) standard rectifier diode in TO-220AB package, featuring 150A surge capability, 1.1V max forward voltage at 8A/25°C, and dual-die construction for high-current DC/DC and switching-mode power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the GP1603 C0G datasheet, GP1603 C0G pinout, GP1603 C0G application, or GP1603 C0G equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM=200V, IF=16A, thermal resistance RθJC=1.5°C/W, AEC-Q101 qualification availability (GP1603H), and TO-220AB mechanical compatibility with heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-phase, dual-die standard recovery rectifier optimized for industrial and automotive power supplies. Its 200V VRRM, 150A IFSM, and 1.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance enable robust operation under high-current transient loads and elevated ambient temperatures up to +150°C junction.
The GP1603 C0G exhibits 10µA max reverse leakage at 25°C and 250µA at 125°C, with 50pF typical junction capacitance at 1MHz/4V - parameters critical for minimizing switching losses and EMI in 50–200kHz SMPS designs where fast but non-ultrafast recovery is acceptable.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum reverse blocking voltage before breakdown; defines usable input voltage range in bridge or freewheeling configurations. |
| IF | 16 A - Continuous average forward current; determines heatsink sizing and conduction loss in steady-state operation. |
| IFSM | 150 A - Non-repetitive surge rating for 8.3ms half-sine; supports inrush current handling in AC-DC front-ends. |
| VF (max) | 1.1 V @ 8A, 25°C - Forward voltage drop directly impacts conduction loss (Pcond ≈ IF × VF) and thermal design. |
| RθJC | 1.5 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to case; enables accurate junction temperature estimation when mounted to heatsink. |
| TJ (max) | +150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; sets upper limit for thermal management margin in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220AB - 3-terminal through-hole package with isolated metal tab (cathode-connected), matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 molding compound, and 0.56 N·m maximum mounting torque.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 1) | Input current entry point | Connected to AC source or switch node; requires trace width and copper area sufficient for 16A continuous current. |
| Cathode (Lead 2) | Output current exit point | Electrically tied to metal tab; must be isolated from chassis unless cathode-grounded topology is used. |
| Metal Tab (Cathode) | Thermal & electrical cathode path | Serves as primary heat transfer surface; electrically identical to Lead 2; requires insulating washer if mounted to grounded heatsink. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High surge current capability | 150A IFSM supports reliable startup in high-capacitance input stages without derating. |
| Low forward voltage | 1.1V max VF reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. comparable 1.3V diodes at 8A, improving efficiency in 12–48V outputs. |
| Dual-die configuration | Enables parallel conduction paths within single TO-220AB footprint, lowering effective RDS(on)-equivalent resistance. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification option | GP1603H variant meets stress test requirements for automotive under-hood power modules (e.g., body control units). |
Applications
| AC-DC Front-End Rectification | DC-DC Converter Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Full-wave rectification of 100–240V AC mains in offline SMPS with PFC stage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standard recovery rectifier conducting during positive half-cycles; handles 16A average output current. Use Value: 200V VRRM provides 2× safety margin over 170V peak line voltage; 1.5°C/W RθJC enables compact heatsinking. | Use Scenario: Output rectification in 12V/20A isolated flyback or forward converter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode clamping transformer reset energy; conducts during off-time of primary switch. Use Value: 150A IFSM withstands transient overload during short-circuit events; low VF minimizes output ripple and thermal rise. |
| Industrial Motor Drive Snubber | Automotive Auxiliary Power Supply |
Use Scenario: RC snubber network across IGBTs in 3-phase 400V motor inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamping diode absorbing turn-off voltage spikes; operates intermittently at <1% duty cycle.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input rectifier feeding bulk capacitor; exposed to wide ambient (-40°C to +125°C). Use Value: -55°C to +150°C TJ range and AEC-Q101-qualified GP1603H variant ensure reliability in under-hood environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar standard rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1602D | VRRM=200V, IF=16A, VF=1.15V max, RθJC=1.7°C/W, TO-220AC package (non-isolated tab) | Non-isolated tab requires insulating hardware for heatsink mounting; slightly higher thermal resistance. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin; verify tab isolation method matches PCB layout. |
| ON Semi MUR1620CT | VRRM=200V, IF=16A, VF=1.2V max, IFSM=125A, TO-220AB, ultrafast recovery (trr≈60ns) | Ultrafast recovery reduces switching noise but increases reverse recovery charge; lower surge rating. | Prefer for high-frequency (>100kHz) topologies where dV/dt-induced ringing is critical; avoid in high-surge applications. |
Compared with STTH1602D and MUR1620CT, the GP1603 C0G offers superior surge robustness (150A vs. 125A/130A) and lower thermal resistance (1.5°C/W), making it optimal for industrial power supplies with frequent load transients and constrained thermal budgets.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GP1603 C0G?
The GP1603 C0G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official TSC datasheet (Version G2104). This allows operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial power supplies or under-hood automotive locations when properly heatsinked. Derating curves confirm usable current down to 0A at 150°C case temperature.
Does GP1603 C0G have AEC-Q101 qualification?
Yes - the GP1603H variant of GP1603 C0G is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as stated in the ordering information and features section of the TSC datasheet. The base GP1603 C0G is not automatically qualified; only parts ordered with the "H" suffix (e.g., GP1603H) meet AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for automotive use.
What is the forward voltage specification for GP1603 C0G at rated current?
The GP1603 C0G has a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.1 V at IF = 8 A and TJ = 25°C, per the electrical specifications table. At full 16A average current, VF rises due to self-heating; actual operating VF depends on thermal design but remains below 1.25V under typical heatsink conditions.
Is GP1603 C0G supplied in tape-and-reel or tube packaging?
GP1603 C0G is supplied in tube packaging - 50 units per tube - as specified in the ordering information section of the TSC datasheet. No tape-and-reel option is listed for this part; alternative packaging would require custom quoting and is not standard for TO-220AB rectifiers in this family.
What is the polarity marking convention for GP1603 C0G?
The GP1603 C0G uses standard TO-220AB polarity marking: the metal tab is the cathode, and the second lead (center pin) is also cathode. The anode is the first lead (leftmost pin when tab faces outward and leads point downward). Polarity is marked on the device body per the "Marking Diagram" page in the datasheet (Version G2104).
