Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation TS6K60H

Overview

TS6K60H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 6A, 600V rated standard quad bridge rectifier in TS4K package, with 150A surge capability, <1.1V forward voltage at 6A/25°C, and <5µA reverse leakage at 25°C - used in AC/DC front-ends of SMPS, adapters, and display power supplies.

For engineers reviewing the TS6K60H datasheet, TS6K60H pinout, TS6K60H application, or TS6K60H equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (600V), thermal resistance (3°C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and TS4K mechanical compatibility for high-reliability board-level integration.

Technical Context

The TS6K60H integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration, enabling direct AC-to-DC conversion without external interconnection. Its junction-to-case thermal resistance of 3°C/W supports conduction-cooled mounting on PCB copper planes or heatsinks.

Rated for continuous 6A average forward current and 150A non-repetitive surge (8.3ms half-sine), it operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94V-0 flammability standards.

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 was designed specifically for high-reliability AC/DC front-end rectification in space-constrained, thermally demanding applications - emphasizing low leakage, robust surge handling, and automotive-grade process control.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the TS6K60H?

The TS6K60H has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official datasheet. This allows reliable operation in enclosed power supplies and automotive cabin environments where ambient temperatures exceed 85°C. Derating curves confirm usable current capacity down to 3.5A at 125°C case temperature. The TS6K60H must be mounted with adequate copper area or heatsinking to maintain junction temperature within this limit during continuous 6A operation.

Does the TS6K60H meet AEC-Q101 reliability standards?

Yes, the TS6K60H is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the ordering code suffix "H" and documented in Taiwan Semiconductor's F2101 datasheet revision. It undergoes stress testing including HTGB, H3TRB, and temperature cycling per AEC-Q101-004, qualifying it for automotive power supply applications such as infotainment systems and body control modules. The TS6K60H is not just compliant with RoHS and halogen-free standards - its AEC-Q101 status is part of its certified product definition.

What is the forward voltage drop of the TS6K60H at rated current?

The TS6K60H exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.1 V per diode at IF = 6 A and TJ = 25°C, measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms). At 3 A, VF is ≤1.0 V. This low VF directly reduces conduction losses in high-current rectifier stages - for example, yielding ~6.6 W total dissipation (4 × 1.1 V × 1.5 A) in balanced full-wave operation. The TS6K60H's VF remains stable across its –55°C to +150°C operating range, supporting consistent efficiency in wide-temperature applications.

How does the TS6K60H compare to the TS6K40H and TS6K80H in terms of voltage rating?

The TS6K60H is the 600V-rated variant in the TS6KxH family, positioned between TS6K40H (400V) and TS6K80H (800V). All share identical 6A current rating, 150A surge capability, TS4K package, and AEC-Q101 qualification. The only electrical difference is VRRM: 400V, 600V, and 800V respectively - allowing designers to select based on required AC input voltage margin (e.g., TS6K60H for 230VAC nominal systems with 20% overvoltage tolerance). Pinout, thermal performance, and marking format are fully consistent across the TS6KxH series.

What packaging and taping options are available for the TS6K60H?

The TS6K60H is supplied in TS4K package and packaged in tubes containing 20 units each, as specified in the official ordering information. No tape-and-reel or bulk packaging variants are listed in the F2101 datasheet. The tube format supports manual and semi-automated placement in low-to-medium volume production, and the TS4K leadframe geometry is compatible with standard wave soldering profiles per J-STD-002. Traceability is maintained via date code (YWW), factory code (F), and green compound marking (G) on each TS6K60H unit.
