Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation TS20P02G C2G

Overview

TS20P02G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 20A, 100V rated standard quad bridge rectifier in TS-6P package, featuring glass-passivated junctions, <10μA reverse current at 25°C, 250A surge capability, and UL recognition (E-326243). It serves as primary AC/DC conversion stage in compact off-line SMPS and LED drivers.

For engineers reviewing the TS20P02G datasheet, TS20P02G pinout, TS20P02G application, or TS20P02G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (100V), forward current rating (20A), thermal resistance (0.8°C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and TS-6P mechanical compatibility with PCB-mount power supplies.

Technical Context

The TS20P02G integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with common-cathode/common-anode topology. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance up to 125°C, while the TS-6P package enables direct heatsink mounting via case contact.

Rated for 20A average forward current and 250A non-repetitive surge (8.3ms half-sine), it delivers low forward voltage drop (≤1.1V @ 20A, 25°C) and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94V-0 flammability requirements.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

TS-6P is a molded plastic package with six external terminals: two AC inputs (A1, A2), one positive DC output (+), one negative DC output (–), and two case-connected thermal pads (T1, T2) tied internally to cathode/anode nodes for heatsink attachment.

Manufacturer

Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation (TSC) is a vertically integrated analog and discrete semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in Hsinchu, Taiwan, serving global power, automotive, and industrial markets since 1979.

The TS20P series was developed specifically for high-reliability, high-surge AC/DC front-end rectification in space-constrained power supplies-emphasizing thermal efficiency, safety certification readiness, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-adjacent applications.

FAQ

What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for TS20P02G?

The TS20P02G has a VRRM rating of 100 V, meaning it can safely block up to 100 V of repetitive reverse voltage across each internal diode. This corresponds to a maximum RMS input voltage of 70 V, making TS20P02G suitable for 100 VAC nominal systems or universal-input designs with appropriate derating. The "02" in TS20P02G explicitly denotes the 100 V rating per the manufacturer's ordering code convention.

Is TS20P02G qualified for automotive applications?

TS20P02G itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; only variants marked with "H" suffix (e.g., TS20P02GH) carry that qualification. The standard TS20P02G shares the same die and process but lacks the extended test documentation required for automotive use. For automotive-grade designs, TS20P02GH must be specified - it retains identical electrical parameters but adds stress-test validation per AEC-Q101 Rev D.

What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RθJC) for TS20P02G?

The junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of TS20P02G is 0.8°C/W, measured under standard test conditions. This value reflects efficient heat transfer from the silicon die to the TS-6P package case, enabling direct heatsink mounting. At 20A continuous current and 1.1V forward drop, this allows approximately 25°C temperature rise above case temperature - critical for thermally constrained LED driver and adapter designs.

Does TS20P02G have UL recognition?

Yes, TS20P02G is UL Recognized under File #E-326243, confirming compliance with UL 60747-4 for semiconductor devices. This recognition applies to the entire TS20P01G–TS20P07G family and validates insulation, flammability (UL 94V-0), and terminal strength - reducing time and cost for end-equipment safety certification in North America and other UL-accepting markets.

What is the marking code and package type for TS20P02G?

TS20P02G is marked "TS20P02G" on the top surface and housed in the TS-6P package - a 6-terminal, molded plastic case with two AC inputs (A1/A2), one positive output (+), one negative output (–), and two thermal pads (T1/T2). The "G" suffix indicates green (halogen-free) molding compound compliant with IEC 61249-2-21.
