Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation TS6K100

Overview

TS6K100 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 6A, 1000V rated standard quad bridge rectifier in TS4K package, featuring 150A surge capability, <5 μA reverse leakage at 25°C, and 3°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance-designed for high-reliability AC/DC front-end conversion in consumer power adapters.

For engineers reviewing the TS6K100 datasheet, TS6K100 pinout, TS6K100 application, or TS6K100 equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage rating (1000 V), average forward current (6 A), thermal resistance (3 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and TS4K mechanical compatibility with PCB-mounting requirements.

Technical Context

The TS6K100 integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with common-cathode and common-anode terminals externally accessible. Its design supports continuous conduction mode operation up to 150°C junction temperature and withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 150 A without degradation.

Thermal performance is defined by a low 3°C/W junction-to-case resistance, enabling efficient heat transfer to heatsinks or PCB copper planes. The device uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance standards.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.

Compared with GBU10K and GBPC1010, the TS6K100 offers tighter reverse leakage (<5 µA), AEC-Q101 availability (H variant), and optimized TS4K footprint for space-constrained consumer power boards-making it ideal where thermal efficiency, regulatory compliance, and layout density are jointly prioritized.

Availability

TS6K100 is available at Aetrix Electronics and suitable for switching mode power supplies, AC-DC adapters, and flat-panel display power boards requiring stable component supply across production lifecycles.

Supply support for TS6K100 includes scheduled delivery planning, volume procurement assistance, BOM continuity management, traceable sourcing, and lifecycle availability coordination for OEM customers, industrial embedded developers, connected-device designers, and electronics production programs.

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 TS6K series belongs to TSC's standard bridge rectifier product line, engineered specifically for high-efficiency, high-reliability AC/DC conversion in cost-sensitive yet thermally demanding consumer and industrial power applications.

FAQ

What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating of the TS6K100?

The TS6K100 has a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 1000 V. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version F2101). It defines the maximum instantaneous reverse voltage each diode can block repeatedly without breakdown, making TS6K100 suitable for 230 VAC mains applications with robust surge margin.

Does the TS6K100 meet automotive reliability standards?

Yes-the TS6K100H variant is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101. Per the Ordering Information section (page 2), the "H" suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification. Standard TS6K100 (non-H) is not automotive-qualified. Engineers requiring automotive use must specify TS6K100H and verify qualification scope against the latest TSC AEC-Q101 certificate for the TS4K package.

What is the thermal resistance from junction to case for TS6K100?

The junction-to-case thermal resistance (R_θJC) of TS6K100 is 3°C/W, as specified in the Thermal Performance table (page 2). This value applies under standard mounting conditions with proper heatsink contact. It enables accurate junction temperature estimation using T_J = T_C + (P_DISS × 3), critical for thermal design validation of TS6K100 in high-ambient environments.

How does the TS6K100 compare to TS6K40 in terms of voltage rating and application scope?

The TS6K100 is rated for 1000 V VRRM, whereas TS6K40 is rated for 400 V VRRM-both share identical 6 A IF, 150 A IFSM, and TS4K package. TS6K100 targets higher-input-voltage applications like universal-input SMPS (85–265 VAC) or 230 VAC-only designs with enhanced surge margin; TS6K40 suits lower-voltage 100–120 VAC systems where cost optimization is prioritized over overvoltage headroom.

What packaging and reel/tube options are available for TS6K100?

TS6K100 is supplied in TS4K package and packed 20 units per tube, as stated in the Ordering Information table (page 2). No tape-and-reel option is listed in the official documentation. For volume orders, Aetrix Electronics supports custom packing configurations-including tube-to-tray transfer-subject to minimum order quantities and lead time coordination.
