Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation TS15P02GHD2G

Overview

TS15P02GHD2G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 15A, 100V 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 lighting drivers and onboard chargers.

For engineers reviewing the TS15P02GHD2G datasheet, TS15P02GHD2G pinout, TS15P02GHD2G application, or TS15P02GHD2G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (100 V), forward current rating (15 A), thermal resistance (0.8 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and TS-6P mechanical compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.

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 temperature, while the matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.

The TS-6P package supports high-power dissipation via low junction-to-case thermal resistance (0.8 °C/W) and UL 94V-0 molding compound. Polarity is marked on the case, and mounting torque is specified at ≤0.92 N·m to prevent mechanical stress on internal bonds during assembly.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for TS15P02GHD2G?

The TS15P02GHD2G has a maximum junction temperature (T_J) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet revision N2203. This rating enables operation in under-hood automotive locations and high-ambient industrial enclosures. Derating curves in Figure 1 confirm usable current capacity down to -55°C storage temperature. The TS15P02GHD2G must be mounted with ≤0.92 N·m torque to maintain thermal and mechanical integrity at this temperature limit.

Is TS15P02GHD2G pin-compatible with other TS15PxG variants?

Yes, all TS15PxG variants - including TS15P01G through TS15P07G - share identical TS-6P package dimensions, pinout, and terminal assignments. The only difference is V_RRM rating (50 V to 1000 V), so TS15P02GHD2G can be substituted within the same PCB layout when 100 V reverse voltage suffices. No changes to solder stencil, pick-and-place program, or thermal pad design are required for migration between TS15PxG family members.

Does TS15P02GHD2G require heatsinking in 15 A continuous operation?

At 15 A continuous forward current and 25°C ambient, TS15P02GHD2G dissipates approximately 16.5 W (based on V_F = 1.1 V). With R_θJC = 0.8 °C/W, junction temperature rise above case is ~13.2°C. Heatsinking is recommended if case temperature exceeds 137°C to stay within the +150°C T_J limit. A minimum 25 cm² copper pour with 2 oz copper is sufficient for natural convection in most enclosed power supplies using TS15P02GHD2G.

What does the 'H' and 'D2G' suffix mean in TS15P02GHD2G?

In TS15P02GHD2G, 'H' indicates AEC-Q101 qualification per Taiwan Semiconductor's ordering code convention, and 'D2G' denotes green (halogen-free) molding compound compliant with IEC 61249-2-21. The base part TS15P02G specifies 100 V V_RRM; 'HD2G' confirms both automotive qualification and environmental compliance. This full marking appears on the device top surface alongside date code and factory identifier per TS-6P marking diagram.

How does TS15P02GHD2G compare to standard KBPC rectifiers in terms of PCB assembly?

TS15P02GHD2G uses TS-6P - a surface-mount, 6-lead inline package - whereas KBPC series use through-hole 4-lead packages. This eliminates wave soldering steps, reduces board real estate by ~40%, and enables full SMT automation. The matte tin-plated leads of TS15P02GHD2G comply with J-STD-002, ensuring reliable reflow wetting. Unlike KBPC, TS15P02GHD2G also includes UL recognition (E-326243) and AEC-Q101 qualification out of the box.
