Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation TS15P05G-K

Overview

TS15P05G-K from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 15A, 600V standard quad bridge rectifier in TS-6P package, featuring glass-passivated junctions, <0.1μA typical reverse leakage at 25°C, and 240A peak surge capability-used in AC/DC front-end stages of switching mode power supplies.

For engineers reviewing the TS15P05G-K datasheet, TS15P05G-K pinout, TS15P05G-K application, or TS15P05G-K equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (600V), forward current rating (15A), thermal resistance (1.3°C/W), junction temperature range (–55°C to +150°C), and UL recognition (E-326243).

Technical Context

This device integrates four diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with common-cathode and common-anode terminals externally accessible. Its glass-passivated chip junction ensures stable reverse characteristics across temperature and long-term reliability under repeated surge stress.

The TS-6P package provides low thermal resistance (R_θJC = 1.3°C/W) and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability. Polarity is marked on the case, and mounting torque must not exceed 0.92 N·m to avoid mechanical damage.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for TS15P05G-K?

The TS15P05G-K has a maximum junction temperature (T_J) of +150°C, with a minimum of –55°C. This wide operating range allows use in harsh environments such as enclosed industrial power supplies or outdoor LED drivers. The device's 1.3°C/W thermal resistance enables effective heat transfer to external heatsinks, maintaining safe junction temperatures under full 15A load at elevated ambient conditions. Always verify actual T_J using measured case temperature and power dissipation in final design.

Does TS15P05G-K have UL recognition?

Yes, TS15P05G-K is UL Recognized under File # E-326243. This certification confirms compliance with UL 60747-4 for semiconductor devices and supports end-product safety approvals for commercial and industrial power supplies. The recognition applies specifically to the TS-6P package variant and includes verification of flammability (UL 94V-0), terminal solderability (J-STD-002), and electrical isolation integrity-critical for CE, CCC, and other regional certifications.

What is the forward voltage drop specification for TS15P05G-K?

The TS15P05G-K specifies a maximum forward voltage (V_F) of 1.0 V per diode at I_F = 7.5 A and T_J = 25°C, and 0.9 V at T_J = 125°C. These values are measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms). At full 15A average current, conduction loss remains low due to parallel diode structure and optimized metallization-enabling high-efficiency rectification in compact SMPS designs where thermal headroom is limited.

How many pins does TS15P05G-K have, and what are their functions?

TS15P05G-K uses a 6-pin TS-6P package with four functional terminals (AC1, AC2, +, –) and two no-connect (NC) pins. AC1 and AC2 accept the AC input lines; + and – deliver the full-wave rectified DC output. The NC pins are internal die ties with no electrical function and must remain unconnected on the PCB. Pin assignment and polarity marking are documented in the official TSC package outline drawing (Version C2104), and mechanical mounting torque must not exceed 0.92 N·m.

Is TS15P05G-K RoHS and halogen-free compliant?

Yes, TS15P05G-K is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives, and all terminations use matte tin plating without lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, or PBDEs. This compliance enables global shipment and satisfies environmental requirements for consumer, industrial, and medical-adjacent applications-though the device itself is not rated for life-support systems per TSC notice.
