Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation TS6P03GH

Overview

TS6P03GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 6A, 200V repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) quad-configuration standard bridge rectifier in TS-6P package, featuring glass-passivated junctions, <0.1μA typical reverse leakage at 25°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability-used in AC/DC front-end stages of LED drivers and industrial SMPS.

For engineers reviewing the TS6P03GH datasheet, TS6P03GH pinout, TS6P03GH application, or TS6P03GH equivalent, key selection criteria include V_RRM = 200V, I_F = 6A, I_FSM = 150A surge rating, thermal resistance R_θJC = 1.8°C/W, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for harsh-environment deployment.

Technical Context

The TS6P03GH integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with common-cathode and common-anode terminals externally accessible. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse characteristics across -55°C to +150°C operating range and supports high-reliability soldering per J-STD-002.

Designed for high-surge environments, it delivers 150A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3ms half-sine) and 93.37 A²s fusing rating, while maintaining <10μA reverse current at rated 200V V_RRM and 25°C junction temperature.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for TS6P03GH?

The TS6P03GH has a maximum junction temperature (T_J) rating of +150°C, with a minimum storage temperature of -55°C. This wide operating range supports use in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings. Thermal design must ensure that power dissipation-calculated from forward voltage drop and load current-does not exceed limits defined by R_θJC = 1.8°C/W and heatsink interface conditions. The TS6P03GH datasheet specifies derating curves for continuous current versus case temperature.

Is TS6P03GH pin-compatible with other TS-6P bridge rectifiers like TS6P02GH or TS6P04GH?

Yes, TS6P03GH shares identical TS-6P package dimensions, lead pitch, and pinout (AC1, AC2, +, –) with all members of the TS6PxxG family-including TS6P02GH and TS6P04GH. Voltage ratings differ (100V, 200V, 400V), but mechanical and electrical interface compatibility is maintained. No PCB layout change is required when upgrading or downgrading within the TS6PxxGH series for revised input voltage requirements.

Does TS6P03GH require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?

Yes, TS6P03GH requires forward current derating above 25°C ambient, as shown in Figure 1 of its datasheet. At 70°C case temperature, the average forward current drops to approximately 4.2A; at 100°C, it falls to ~2.8A. Derating is necessary to maintain junction temperature ≤150°C. Designers must calculate total power loss (I_F × V_F) and apply R_θJC = 1.8°C/W along with heatsink thermal resistance to verify safe operating area.

What does the "H" suffix in TS6P03GH signify?

The "H" suffix in TS6P03GH explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification-confirming that the device has passed accelerated stress testing for automotive electronics, including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress test (UHAST). This distinguishes TS6P03GH from the non-qualified TS6P03G variant and validates its suitability for automotive power supply applications.

Can TS6P03GH be used in surface-mount applications?

No, TS6P03GH uses through-hole TS-6P packaging with axial leads designed for wave or selective soldering-not surface-mount assembly. Its lead pitch, body height, and terminal geometry do not conform to standard SMD footprints such as GBPC, GBU, or KBU packages. Attempting reflow or paste printing will result in poor solder joints and mechanical instability. For SMT bridge rectifiers, consider alternatives like GBJ602 or MB10F with verified SMT land patterns.
