Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation TS20P05G C2G

Overview

TS20P05G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 20A, 600V repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) standard quad bridge rectifier in TS-6P package, featuring glass-passivated junctions, <0.1μA typical reverse leakage at 25°C, and 250A peak surge current capability-used in AC/DC front-end stages of industrial SMPS and lighting ballasts.

For engineers reviewing the TS20P05G datasheet, TS20P05G pinout, TS20P05G application, or TS20P05G equivalent, key selection criteria include V_RRM = 600V, I_F = 20A, R_θJC = 0.8°C/W, UL Recognized (E-326243), and AEC-Q101 qualification availability for automotive-grade variants.

Technical Context

This discrete bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a single TS-6P molded package with matte tin-plated leads, configured as a full-wave bridge (AC1–AC2 input, +/− DC output). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse characteristics across −55°C to +150°C operating range.

Thermal performance is defined by 0.8°C/W junction-to-case resistance, enabling high-power dissipation in compact PCB layouts. Reverse current remains ≤10μA at 25°C and ≤500μA at 125°C under rated 600V reverse bias, supporting reliable operation in thermally demanding environments.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for TS20P05G?

The TS20P05G has a maximum junction temperature (T_J) of +150°C, with a storage temperature range of −55°C to +150°C. This rating allows operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed LED drivers or industrial power supplies. Derating curves in the datasheet specify reduced forward current above 75°C case temperature. Thermal design must account for R_θJC = 0.8°C/W and interface resistance to heatsink.

Is TS20P05G RoHS and halogen-free compliant?

Yes, TS20P05G is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives, and the matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements. These attributes support compliance with EU WEEE, REACH, and China RoHS directives for global market access.

Does TS20P05G have AEC-Q101 qualification?

TS20P05G itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified, but the AEC-Q101 variant is available as TS20P05GH ('H' suffix). The 'H' version undergoes stress testing per AEC-Q101 Rev D, including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling. For automotive applications requiring qualification, TS20P05GH-not TS20P05G-must be specified and procured.

What is the forward voltage drop of TS20P05G at rated current?

At I_F = 20A and T_J = 25°C, the forward voltage drop per diode in TS20P05G is ≤1.1V (maximum). At 10A, it is ≤1.0V. These values are measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3ms) and define conduction losses in thermal modeling. Real-world V_F increases with junction temperature and decreases slightly at lower currents.

How is polarity marked on the TS20P05G package?

Polarity on TS20P05G is marked on the top surface of the TS-6P package: the '+' and '−' output terminals are laser-marked adjacent to their respective leads, and the AC input terminals (AC1/AC2) are identified by orientation relative to the marking bar. The cathode band is not used; instead, the device uses explicit '+', '−', 'AC1', and 'AC2' silkscreen labels per Taiwan Semiconductor's mechanical drawing O2203.
