Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation TS10P04GH

Overview

TS10P04GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 10A, 400V repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) quad-configuration standard bridge rectifier in TS-6P package, featuring glass-passivated junctions, <0.1μA typical reverse leakage at 25°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability-used in AC/DC front-end stages of industrial SMPS and lighting ballasts.

For engineers reviewing the TS10P04GH datasheet, TS10P04GH pinout, TS10P04GH application, or TS10P04GH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200A non-repetitive surge rating (IFSM), 1.4°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 1.1V max forward voltage at 10A/25°C, and TS-6P mechanical compatibility with high-power PCB layouts requiring UL 94V-0 molding and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.

Technical Context

This device integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration, enabling direct AC-to-DC conversion without external interconnection. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse characteristics across -55°C to +150°C operating range and supports high-reliability operation under repeated 8.3ms half-sine surge events up to 200A.

The TS-6P package uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and delivers 1.4°C/W thermal resistance from junction to case-critical for thermally constrained designs where heatsinking is limited to the lead frame and PCB copper area.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for TS10P04GH?

The TS10P04GH has a maximum junction temperature (T_J) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This rating enables reliable operation in enclosed industrial enclosures or near heat-generating components. Derating curves confirm usable current capacity down to 0A at 150°C ambient when mounted on minimum copper, making TS10P04GH suitable for thermally demanding deployments where thermal headroom is limited.

Is TS10P04GH pin-compatible with other TS10PxG variants?

Yes, all TS10PxG and TS10PxGH devices-including TS10P04GH-share identical TS-6P package dimensions, pinout, and terminal assignments. Only the V_RRM rating differs across the family (50V to 1000V), allowing direct substitution in existing layouts when voltage requirements change. The "H" suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, but mechanical and electrical interface remains fully consistent across the series.

Does TS10P04GH require heatsinking in a 10A continuous application?

At 10A continuous with 1.1V forward drop, TS10P04GH dissipates ~11W in the bridge. With R_θJC = 1.4°C/W and typical R_θCA ≈ 20°C/W on 2oz copper, junction temperature exceeds 150°C without heatsinking. Taiwan Semiconductor recommends using a heatsink or ≥400mm² of 2oz copper pour per terminal. TS10P04GH's exposed case serves as the primary thermal path-direct mounting to aluminum heatsink is strongly advised for sustained 10A operation.

What does the "H" suffix in TS10P04GH signify?

The "H" suffix in TS10P04GH explicitly indicates AEC-Q101 qualification per the Taiwan Semiconductor ordering code table. This means the device has passed accelerated stress tests including high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling (TC), and unbiased highly accelerated stress test (UHAST). TS10P04GH is therefore approved for automotive power electronics where functional safety and long-term reliability under thermal and vibration stress are required.

How does TS10P04GH compare to standard KBPC or GBU bridge rectifiers?

TS10P04GH offers superior thermal performance (R_θJC = 1.4°C/W vs. ~2.0–3.5°C/W for KBPC/GBU), tighter V_F tolerance (1.1V max vs. 1.2–1.4V), and formal AEC-Q101/UL recognition-unlike most KBPC/GBU parts. Its TS-6P package also features JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and halogen-free molding, addressing modern reliability and environmental requirements that legacy bridge families do not meet. TS10P04GH is engineered for next-generation designs, not drop-in replacement.
