Product details

Overview

TPUH6J from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 600 V, 6 A ultrafast recovery rectifier diode in TO-277 surface-mount package, with 50 ns reverse recovery time (t_rr), 1.85 V forward voltage (V_F) at 6 A, and 100 µA maximum reverse leakage current (I_R) at 600 V, used in high-frequency AC/DC converters and PFC stages.

For engineers reviewing the TPUH6J datasheet, TPUH6J pinout, TPUH6J application, or TPUH6J equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultrafast switching performance, thermal resistance (R_θJA = 50 °C/W), junction temperature rating (T_J = 175 °C), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on standard PCB pad layouts per JEDEC TO-277.

Technical Context

The TPUH6J employs an optimized epitaxial planar structure to achieve fast soft-recovery characteristics critical for reducing EMI and switching losses in continuous-conduction-mode (CCM) PFC circuits. Its 50 ns t_rr is measured under standardized conditions (I_F = 6 A, di/dt = 100 A/µs, T_J = 25 °C).

Thermal design is enabled by low R_θJC (1.5 °C/W) and a molded plastic body compliant with JEDEC TO-277 Issue A. The device supports repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) of 600 V and surge current (I_FSM) up to 100 A (8.3 ms single half-sine wave).

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_RRM	600 V - Maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage; defines safe blocking capability in bridge or boost diode positions.
I_F(AV)	6 A - Average forward current at T_C = 115 °C; sets continuous power-handling limit in thermally managed layouts.
t_rr	50 ns - Reverse recovery time at I_F = 6 A, di/dt = 100 A/µs; enables operation up to ~200 kHz without excessive switching loss.
V_F	1.85 V @ 6 A - Forward voltage drop; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in high-current paths.
I_R	100 µA @ 600 V, T_J = 25 °C - Low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss and stable voltage hold-off.
T_J max	175 °C - Maximum junction temperature; allows reliable operation in compact, high-power-density industrial power supplies.

Pinout & Package

TPUH6J is housed in a single-diode TO-277 (SMP) surface-mount package with cathode-indicated molded plastic body (JEDEC TO-277 Issue A). Dimensions: 6.50 × 4.30 × 1.40 mm (L × W × H), with 3-pin terminal configuration (Anode, Cathode, Cathode tab).

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
Pin 1 (Anode)	Anode connection	Primary current entry point; requires low-inductance trace routing in high-di/dt applications.
Pin 2 (Cathode)	Cathode connection	Current exit path; electrically tied to exposed cathode tab for thermal and electrical return.
Tab (Cathode)	Thermal & electrical cathode	Exposed metal pad for soldering to PCB copper pour; provides primary thermal path (R_θJC = 1.5 °C/W).

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Ultrafast recovery	50 ns t_rr minimizes switching loss and EMI generation in high-frequency PFC and SMPS outputs.
High surge rating	100 A I_FSM (8.3 ms) supports robust inrush and transient overload handling in AC input stages.
Low thermal resistance	R_θJC = 1.5 °C/W enables efficient heat transfer to PCB, reducing need for external heatsinks.
JEDEC-compliant SMT package	TO-277 outline ensures compatibility with standard pick-and-place equipment and reflow profiles.

Equivalent & Alternatives

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STTH6L06D	Same V_RRM (600 V), slightly higher V_F (1.9 V @ 6 A), t_rr = 55 ns, TO-277 package.	Marginally higher conduction loss; suitable where 5 ns t_rr difference is acceptable.	Prefer TPUH6J when minimizing EMI in noise-sensitive PFC designs.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for TPUH6J?

The TPUH6J has a maximum junction temperature (T_J) rating of 175 °C. This allows sustained operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial power supplies or UPS systems. Derating curves in the official TPUH6J datasheet specify allowable current reduction above T_C = 115 °C, ensuring safe thermal margin under full load.

Does TPUH6J support automated SMT assembly?

Yes, TPUH6J uses a JEDEC TO-277 (SMP) surface-mount package with defined pad layout and thermal pad dimensions. It is compatible with standard reflow profiles (peak ≤ 260 °C) and pick-and-place equipment. The cathode tab must be soldered to a minimum 100 mm² copper pour for optimal thermal performance in the TPUH6J layout.

What is the reverse recovery time (t_rr) of TPUH6J and under what test conditions?

The TPUH6J has a reverse recovery time (t_rr) of 50 ns, measured at I_F = 6 A, di/dt = 100 A/µs, and T_J = 25 °C. This value is confirmed in the TPUH6J datasheet revision E2309 and reflects soft-recovery behavior critical for minimizing switching noise in PFC and SMPS applications.

How does TPUH6J compare to standard fast recovery diodes in terms of EMI generation?

Due to its 50 ns t_rr and soft recovery profile, the TPUH6J generates significantly less high-frequency ringing and conducted EMI than standard fast recovery diodes (t_rr > 100 ns). In actual 65 kHz PFC designs, this reduces common-mode filter size by ~30% and eases EMC compliance testing for the TPUH6J-based system.

Is TPUH6J pin-compatible with other TO-277 ultrafast diodes like STTH6L06D?

Yes, TPUH6J shares identical TO-277 mechanical dimensions, terminal locations, and cathode marking with STTH6L06D and VS-6EWH06FN-M3. All three use the same 3-terminal (anode/cathode/tab) configuration and JEDEC-compliant footprint, enabling direct board-level substitution without layout changes-provided thermal and electrical margins remain verified for the TPUH6J application.
