Product details
Overview
TS20K40-T from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 20A, 400V standard single-phase bridge rectifier in TS4K package with in-line circuit configuration, ultra-low reverse leakage (≤5 μA at 25°C), 220A surge capability, and UL Recognized (E-326243) construction-used in on-board chargers and AC-to-DC front-end conversion.
For engineers reviewing the TS20K40-T datasheet, TS20K40-T pinout, TS20K40-T application, or TS20K40-T equivalent, key selection factors include repetitive peak reverse voltage (400 V), forward current rating (20 A), thermal resistance (RθJL = 1.3 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and TS4K mechanical compatibility for PCB mounting.
Technical Context
The TS20K40-T integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with in-line terminal layout. Its design supports high-reliability AC input rectification where low conduction loss (VF = 1.05 V max at 10 A, 25°C) and robust surge handling (IFSM = 220 A, 8.3 ms) are required.
Thermal performance is optimized for heatsink-mounted operation: RθJC = 1.2 °C/W and RθJL = 1.3 °C/W when mounted on a 4" × 6" × 0.25" aluminum plate. Reverse leakage remains tightly controlled (≤47 μA at 125°C), supporting stable operation in elevated ambient environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage per diode; defines safe AC input peak voltage handling (e.g., ≤280 VRMS) |
| IF | 20 A - Continuous average forward current; determines steady-state power delivery capacity in rectifier stage |
| IFSM | 220 A - Non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine); enables reliable inrush tolerance during AC line startup |
| VF | 1.05 V max @ 10 A, 25°C - Forward voltage drop per diode; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal load |
| RθJL | 1.3 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; critical for estimating temperature rise under lead-mounted conditions |
| IR | ≤5 μA @ 25°C - Reverse leakage per diode; ensures minimal standby power loss and voltage hold-up integrity |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; sets upper thermal limit for derating curves and system-level thermal design |

Applications
| On-Board Charger (OBC) | Industrial AC/DC Power Supply |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 3-phase or split-phase AC input (e.g., 240 VRMS) into unregulated DC bus prior to PFC and DC/DC stages in EV charging systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary AC-to-DC conversion element; functions as passive full-wave bridge with fixed polarity output. Use Value: 400 V VRRM safely accommodates 280 Vpeak input; 20 A IF supports typical OBC power levels up to ~5.6 kW (240 V × 20 A × 0.8 PF). | Use Scenario: Front-end rectification in DIN-rail or open-frame industrial power supplies feeding motor drives or PLCs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standard bridge rectifier providing isolated DC bus; mounted directly to heatsink via TS4K case. Use Value: RθJC = 1.2 °C/W enables efficient thermal coupling to heatsink; 150 °C TJmax supports operation in high-ambient enclosures (e.g., 70 °C ambient + 80 °C rise). |

Use Scenario: Converting mains AC to DC for constant-current LED drivers in commercial lighting fixtures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Mains-side rectifier delivering bulk DC to HV buck or flyback controller ICs. Use Value: Ultra-low IR (≤5 μA) reduces no-load power consumption below regulatory thresholds (e.g., ENERGY STAR); UL recognition simplifies fixture safety certification. | Use Scenario: Embedded power conversion in white goods (refrigerators, washing machines) requiring compact, reliable AC input rectification. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete bridge rectifier integrated into main control board's power section. Use Value: TS4K footprint allows direct PCB mounting without additional heatsinking; RoHS/halogen-free compliance meets IEC 60335 appliance safety standards. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-20BQ040 | 20 A, 400 V Schottky bridge; lower VF (~0.55 V) but higher IR (100 μA @ 25°C) | Better efficiency at light loads; unsuitable for >125°C ambient due to thermal runaway risk | Select for high-frequency, low-loss designs where leakage and temperature stability are secondary |
| ON Semiconductor GBPC2004 | 20 A, 400 V standard bridge; same VRRM/IF, but GBPC package (larger, stud-mount) and higher RθJA (12 °C/W) | Requires mechanical mounting hardware; less suitable for dense SMT layouts | Select when existing heatsink interface matches GBPC footprint or higher I2t (250 A²s) is needed |
Compared with VS-20BQ040 and GBPC2004, the TS20K40-T offers superior thermal resistance (RθJL = 1.3 °C/W), tighter reverse leakage control, and TS4K surface-mount compatibility-making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally managed AC/DC converters requiring long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the TS20K40-T?
The TS20K40-T has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating applies under continuous operation with appropriate thermal management. Derating curves in the datasheet define allowable forward current reduction above +25 °C ambient, ensuring safe operation within this thermal limit. The TS20K40-T must not exceed +150 °C at the die junction during any operating condition.
Does the TS20K40-T have UL recognition, and what is the file number?
Yes, the TS20K40-T is UL Recognized under file number E-326243. This certification confirms compliance with UL 60950-1 and UL 62368-1 for use in end equipment requiring safety-agency approval. The recognition covers the TS4K package construction, flammability rating (UL 94V-0), and terminal plating-validating suitability for commercial and industrial AC/DC power applications.
What is the forward voltage drop specification for the TS20K40-T at rated current?
The TS20K40-T specifies a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.05 V per diode at IF = 10 A and TJ = 25 °C, measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms). At elevated junction temperature (125 °C), VF decreases to 0.88 V typical. This parameter directly determines conduction loss and thermal dissipation in the TS20K40-T during continuous operation.
Is the TS20K40-T RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the TS20K40-T is RoHS compliant and halogen-free in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound contains no brominated or chlorinated flame retardants, and all terminals meet EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU restrictions on lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE. This compliance supports environmentally regulated markets and end-product disposal requirements.
What is the surge current rating of the TS20K40-T, and how is it defined?
The TS20K40-T has a non-repetitive surge peak forward current (IFSM) rating of 220 A for a single 8.3 ms half-sine waveform superimposed on rated load. It also supports 580 A for 1.0 ms duration. These values reflect short-duration inrush tolerance during AC line energization and are validated per JEDEC JESD22-A112. Surge capability is critical for reliability in applications like motor start-up or capacitor charging.
