Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation TS20P03GHC2G

Overview

TS20P03GHC2G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 20A, 200V repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) quad-configuration standard bridge rectifier in TS-6P package, featuring glass-passivated junctions, <0.1μA typical reverse leakage at 25°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability - used in AC/DC front-end stages of industrial SMPS and lighting ballasts.

For engineers reviewing the TS20P03GHC2G datasheet, TS20P03GHC2G pinout, TS20P03GHC2G application, or TS20P03GHC2G equivalent, key selection criteria include V_RRM = 200 V, I_F = 20 A, I_FSM = 250 A surge rating, R_θJC = 0.8 °C/W thermal resistance, and TS-6P mechanical compatibility with PCB-mounting requirements.

Technical Context

This device integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration, enabling AC-to-DC conversion without external interconnection. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse characteristics across -55°C to +150°C operating range and supports high-reliability operation under repeated surge stress (8.3 ms half-sine, I_FSM = 250 A).

The TS-6P package uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Polarity is marked on-body, and UL 94V-0 molding compound meets flammability safety requirements for enclosed power systems.

FAQ

What does the 'H' suffix in TS20P03GHC2G indicate?

The 'H' in TS20P03GHC2G denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, confirming that the TS20P03GHC2G has undergone rigorous stress testing for automotive applications including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock. This makes TS20P03GHC2G suitable for under-hood and body electronics where reliability under harsh conditions is required.

Is TS20P03GHC2G pin-compatible with other TS20P-xG variants?

Yes, all TS20P01G through TS20P07G share identical TS-6P packaging and pinout, including AC1, AC2, +, –, and two NC pins. The only difference among them is V_RRM rating (50 V to 1000 V), so TS20P03GHC2G can be substituted within the same footprint when 200 V blocking is sufficient for the design.

What is the maximum recommended case temperature for continuous operation of TS20P03GHC2G?

The TS20P03GHC2G supports continuous operation up to 75°C case temperature at full 20 A rated current. Beyond that, derating is required per the forward current derating curve in the datasheet; at 100°C case temperature, the allowable I_F drops to approximately 14 A to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C.

Does TS20P03GHC2G require a heatsink in a 20 A application?

Yes - with R_θJC = 0.8 °C/W and power dissipation ≈ 22 W at 20 A (VF ≈ 1.1 V), a heatsink is necessary to limit case temperature. Without forced air, a minimum 15 cm² aluminum heatsink (0.5 mm thick) is recommended to hold T_C ≤ 75°C; thermal interface material must be applied between TS20P03GHC2G and heatsink surface.

How does the glass passivation in TS20P03GHC2G improve long-term reliability?

Glass passivation in TS20P03GHC2G forms a hermetic, chemically inert barrier over the silicon junction, preventing moisture ingress and ion migration that cause parametric drift. This results in stable reverse leakage (<0.1 μA at 25°C) and consistent V_F over 10+ years in humid or thermally cycled environments - critical for outdoor LED drivers and automotive systems.
