Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation TS6KL100

Overview

TS6KL100 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 6A, 1000V rated standard bridge rectifier in KBJL package, featuring glass-passivated junctions, 150A non-repetitive surge capability, and AEC-Q101 qualification (H variant). It delivers robust AC-to-DC conversion in compact power supplies for lighting and adapters.

For engineers reviewing the TS6KL100 datasheet, TS6KL100 pinout, TS6KL100 application, or TS6KL100 equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage (1000V), forward current rating (6A), thermal resistance (R_θJA = 7°C/W), surge capability (280A at 1ms), and KBJL mechanical compatibility.

Technical Context

The TS6KL100 integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with common-cathode and common-anode terminals. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse leakage (<5 µA @ 25°C, <150 µA @ 125°C) and high reliability under thermal cycling.

Designed for surface-mount-compatible through-hole mounting on aluminum plates, it achieves R_θJC = 2°C/W and R_θJA = 7°C/W when mounted on a 4" × 6" × 0.25" Al-plate - enabling sustained 6A conduction without forced cooling in ambient ≤50°C.

FAQ

What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) for the TS6KL100?

The TS6KL100 has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) of 1000 V. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table across all versions (E2104) and defines its safe operating limit for reverse-biased diodes in the bridge. It enables use with universal AC inputs up to 265 V_AC while maintaining ≥2× voltage margin, which is critical for long-term reliability in surge-prone environments.

Is the TS6KL100 available in an AEC-Q101 qualified version?

Yes, the TS6KL100H variant is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as noted in the Ordering Information section. The "H" suffix denotes qualification to the AEC-Q101 stress test standard for discrete semiconductors, covering HTGB, HTRB, TC, and ESD testing. Standard TS6KL100 (non-H) is not AEC-Q101 qualified; only TS6KL100H carries this automotive-grade reliability validation.

What is the forward voltage drop of the TS6KL100 at rated current?

The TS6KL100 exhibits a maximum forward voltage (V_F) of 1.05 V per diode at I_F = 3 A and T_J = 25°C, per Electrical Specifications. Since it is a full-wave bridge, the total conduction drop across the conducting path is approximately 2.1 V at mid-load - directly impacting conduction loss and thermal design in high-efficiency power supplies.

What package type does the TS6KL100 use, and what are its mechanical highlights?

The TS6KL100 uses the KBJL package: a thin, single-in-line, molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads. Key mechanical attributes include UL 94V-0 flammability rating, JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, 0.56 N·m maximum mounting torque, polarity marking, and approximate weight of 2.60 g - all documented in the Mechanical Data section of the E2104 datasheet revision.

How does the thermal performance of the TS6KL100 support 6A continuous operation?

The TS6KL100 achieves R_θJA = 7°C/W and R_θJC = 2°C/W when mounted on a 4" × 6" × 0.25" aluminum plate, per Thermal Performance data. At 6A and typical V_F, power dissipation is ~6.3 W; with R_θJA = 7°C/W, ΔT = 44°C - allowing full-rated operation up to ~50°C ambient without forced cooling, assuming proper heatsinking per spec.
