Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation S10GCHM6G

Overview

S10GCHM6G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 10A, 400V surface-mount silicon rectifier diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, featuring glass-passivated junction, low 1.1V forward voltage at 10A, and 250A surge capability - used in AC/DC front-end stages of switching mode power supplies.

For engineers reviewing the S10GCHM6G datasheet, S10GCHM6G pinout, S10GCHM6G application, or S10GCHM6G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (400V), thermal resistance (R_θJL = 10°C/W), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for high-reliability industrial power conversion designs.

Technical Context

This single-die standard recovery rectifier operates with a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and supports continuous forward current up to 10A at ambient conditions. Its glass-passivated chip junction ensures stable reverse leakage (<1 µA at 25°C, <250 µA at 125°C) and robust surge handling under 8.3ms half-sine transients.

The DO-214AB (SMC) package delivers low thermal resistance (R_θJL = 10°C/W) and meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating. Matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for S10GCHM6G?

The S10GCHM6G has a maximum junction temperature (T_J) of +150°C, enabling reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed LED drivers or industrial power modules. This rating is validated per absolute maximum ratings table in the official TSC datasheet Version D2102 and aligns with its glass-passivated die construction and DO-214AB thermal design.

Does S10GCHM6G support lead-free reflow soldering?

Yes, the S10GCHM6G features matte tin-plated leads that meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements and are qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak ≤260°C). Its MSL Level 1 classification per J-STD-020 means no dry-pack or baking is needed prior to assembly - simplifying SMT line logistics for the S10GCHM6G.

What is the reverse leakage current specification for S10GCHM6G at elevated temperature?

At 125°C junction temperature and rated reverse voltage, the S10GCHM6G exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (I_R) of 250 µA, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table of the TSC datasheet. This value reflects stable glass-passivated junction behavior and supports use in thermally demanding applications like high-power adapters where leakage-induced losses must remain minimal.

Is S10GCHM6G halogen-free and RoHS compliant?

Yes, the S10GCHM6G is both RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives, and all homogeneous materials meet EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements - confirmed in the Mechanical Data section of the official TSC documentation for the S10GC–S10MC family.

What does the 'G' in S10GCHM6G indicate?

The 'G' in S10GCHM6G denotes the 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) rating within the S10GC–S10MC family. Per TSC's Ordering Information table, 'G' corresponds to 400 V, 'J' to 600 V, 'K' to 800 V, and 'M' to 1000 V - so S10GCHM6G is the 400 V variant in DO-214AB (SMC) package with tape-and-reel packaging (6,000 pcs/reel).
