Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation TS6P02GH

Overview

TS6P02GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 6A, 100V AEC-Q101-qualified standard quad bridge rectifier in TS-6P package, featuring glass-passivated junctions, <10 µA reverse current at 25°C, 150A peak surge capability, and UL Recognized File #E-326243 - used in automotive-grade AC/DC front-end stages of LED drivers and industrial adapters.

For engineers reviewing the TS6P02GH datasheet, TS6P02GH pinout, TS6P02GH application, or TS6P02GH equivalent, key selection criteria include V_RRM = 100 V, I_F = 6 A, I_FSM = 150 A, R_θJC = 1.8 °C/W, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood power conversion designs.

Technical Context

The TS6P02GH integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with common-cathode/common-anode topology, enabling direct AC-to-DC conversion without external interconnects. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance across temperature (I_R ≤ 500 µA at 125°C) and long-term reliability in high-humidity environments.

Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR-4 PCBs, the TS-6P package supports J-STD-002-compliant soldering and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Thermal resistance of 1.8 °C/W (junction-to-case) enables operation up to 150°C junction temperature with appropriate heatsinking.

Manufacturer

Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation (TSC) is a vertically integrated analog and discrete semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in Hsinchu, Taiwan, serving global automotive, industrial, and consumer markets since 1979.

The TS6P series targets high-reliability AC/DC conversion in harsh-environment applications, with design emphasis on thermal performance, surge resilience, and automotive qualification - distinguishing it from general-purpose bridge families.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for TS6P02GH?

The TS6P02GH has a maximum junction temperature (T_J) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows continuous operation in high-ambient environments such as automotive engine compartments or enclosed industrial enclosures when paired with appropriate thermal management. The TS6P02GH maintains specified electrical performance up to this limit, and its 1.8 °C/W R_θJC enables predictable thermal modeling for heatsink sizing.

Is TS6P02GH pin-compatible with other TS-6P bridge rectifiers like TS6P01GH or TS6P03GH?

Yes, all TS6PxGH variants share identical TS-6P package dimensions, lead pitch, and pinout - including TS6P01GH (50 V), TS6P02GH (100 V), and TS6P03GH (200 V). The only differences are V_RRM, V_R(RMS), and associated reverse leakage characteristics. Designers may substitute within the same package footprint without PCB revision, provided voltage and surge requirements align with the selected variant.

Does TS6P02GH require heatsinking in a 6 A continuous application?

At 6 A continuous forward current, the TS6P02GH dissipates approximately 6.6 W (based on V_F = 1.1 V). With R_θJC = 1.8 °C/W and typical R_θCA > 20 °C/W for PCB-only cooling, junction temperature will exceed 150°C without heatsinking. A minimum 15 cm² copper pour or small clip-on heatsink is recommended to maintain T_J ≤ 130°C at 25°C ambient. The TS6P02GH datasheet provides derating curves confirming this requirement.

What does the "H" suffix in TS6P02GH signify?

The "H" suffix in TS6P02GH explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, as confirmed in the Ordering Information section of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version M2203). This means the TS6P02GH has undergone stress testing for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, mechanical shock, and other automotive-specific reliability requirements - unlike the non-H variant TS6P02G, which lacks this qualification.

How does TS6P02GH's reverse leakage compare to standard industrial bridge rectifiers?

The TS6P02GH specifies I_R ≤ 10 µA per diode at 25°C and ≤ 500 µA at 125°C - significantly lower than typical industrial bridges (often 50–200 µA at 25°C). This low leakage stems from its glass-passivated junction and tight process control, directly reducing no-load power loss in energy-sensitive applications like smart lighting and always-on adapters where TS6P02GH is commonly deployed.
