Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation TS15P01GHD2G

Overview

TS15P01GHD2G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 15A, 50V AEC-Q101-qualified standard bridge rectifier in TS-6P package with quad configuration, glass-passivated junction, <0.1μA typical reverse leakage at 25°C, and 240A peak surge current capability-used in automotive-grade AC/DC front-end stages of SMPS.

For engineers reviewing the TS15P01GHD2G datasheet, TS15P01GHD2G pinout, TS15P01GHD2G application, or TS15P01GHD2G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (50 V), forward current rating (15 A), thermal resistance (0.8 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and TS-6P mechanical compatibility for high-reliability board-level power conversion.

Technical Context

This device integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration, enabling AC-to-DC conversion without external interconnects. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse characteristics across temperature, while the TS-6P case supports high-power dissipation via low R_θJC (0.8 °C/W) and UL 94V-0 molding compound.

The TS15P01GHD2G operates with rated forward current up to 15 A continuous, withstands 240 A non-repetitive surge (8.3 ms half-sine), and maintains IR ≤10 μA at 50 V and 25°C-meeting requirements for compact, thermally constrained automotive and industrial adapter designs.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

TS-6P is a 6-pin, single-phase bridge rectifier package with integrated quad-diode topology. Pin assignment follows standard bridge convention: two AC input pins (A1, A2), one positive DC output (+), one negative DC output (–), and two internally tied common terminals (typically unused externally).

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for TS15P01GHD2G?

The TS15P01GHD2G has a maximum junction temperature (T_J) of +150°C, verified per AEC-Q101 stress test conditions. This allows operation in under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures where case temperatures reach 105°C. Derating curves in the datasheet define safe IF limits above 25°C ambient, and the 0.8 °C/W R_θJC enables effective heatsinking to maintain TS15P01GHD2G within thermal limits.

Is TS15P01GHD2G pin-compatible with other TS-6P bridge rectifiers like TS15P02GHD2G?

Yes, TS15P01GHD2G shares identical TS-6P mechanical dimensions, pinout, and terminal configuration with all TS15PxxGHD2G variants-including TS15P02GHD2G through TS15P07GHD2G. Only the V_RRM rating differs (50 V vs. 100–1000 V); electrical substitution requires verifying reverse voltage margin in the target circuit. No PCB layout change is needed when upgrading within the TS15P family.

Does TS15P01GHD2G require heatsinking in a 15 A continuous application?

At 15 A continuous conduction with 1.1 V forward drop, TS15P01GHD2G dissipates ~16.5 W. With R_θJC = 0.8 °C/W and assuming 25°C ambient, junction temperature would exceed 150°C without heatsinking. A heatsink maintaining case temperature ≤105°C is required-verified using the derating curve in Figure 1 of the TS15P01GHD2G datasheet. Board copper area alone is insufficient for full-load operation.

What does the "H" and "D2G" suffix mean in TS15P01GHD2G?

In TS15P01GHD2G, "H" indicates AEC-Q101 qualification per version N2203, and "D2G" denotes green (halogen-free) compound per IEC 61249-2-21 and RoHS compliance. The base "TS15P01G" specifies 15 A / 50 V rating; "G" confirms lead-free matte tin plating. All suffixes are defined in the official Taiwan Semiconductor ordering information table.

Can TS15P01GHD2G be used in single-phase PFC circuits?

TS15P01GHD2G serves only as the input bridge rectifier in single-phase PFC topologies-not as the active switch or controller. It delivers unregulated DC to the boost stage, where its 240 A surge rating handles inrush, and its <10 μA IR minimizes leakage loss. For PFC designs, pairing TS15P01GHD2G with a dedicated PFC IC (e.g., UCC28070) and appropriate gate driver ensures full compliance with IEC 61000-3-2 Class C.
