Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation TSF10H60C

Overview

TSF10H60C from Taiwan Semiconductor is a dual-die trench Schottky rectifier rated for 10 A total forward current (5 A per diode), 60 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, and 90 A surge capability at 8.3 ms - deployed in high-efficiency SMPS secondary-side rectification and on-board DC/DC converters.

For engineers reviewing the TSF10H60C datasheet, TSF10H60C pinout, TSF10H60C application, or TSF10H60C equivalent, key selection criteria include its low VF (0.54 V @ 5 A, 25°C), high-temperature IR stability (15 mA @ 125°C), ITO-220AB thermal performance (RθJC = 4.2 °C/W), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial power designs.

Technical Context

The TSF10H60C integrates two independent Schottky dies in a single ITO-220AB package with common cathode configuration, enabling dual-channel synchronous rectification without external parallel devices. Its trench architecture delivers lower forward voltage and superior thermal stability versus planar Schottky diodes.

Designed for surface-mount-compatible through-hole mounting with matte tin-plated leads (J-STD-002 compliant), it supports high-reliability operation up to TJ = 150°C and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance - critical for automotive-grade power supplies and lighting drivers requiring long-term solder joint integrity.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

ITO-220AB package features three terminals: Pin 1 (Anode 1), Pin 2 (Cathode – common), Pin 3 (Anode 2). The metal tab is electrically connected to the cathode and serves as thermal path and mechanical mounting surface.

The TSF series targets high-efficiency, high-temperature power conversion - specifically engineered for Schottky rectifiers in compact, thermally demanding AC/DC and DC/DC applications where VF, IR, and thermal resistance are design-critical parameters.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the TSF10H60C?

The TSF10H60C has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows continuous operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed LED drivers or industrial power supplies. Derating begins at 25°C case temperature per the forward current derating curve, and the device maintains stable VF and IR performance up to this limit. Thermal design must ensure RθJC and heatsink interface keep actual TJ ≤ 150°C under worst-case load.

Is the TSF10H60C pin-compatible with standard TO-220AB packages?

Yes, the TSF10H60C uses the ITO-220AB package, which shares identical mechanical dimensions, lead spacing, and mounting hole location with industry-standard TO-220AB - including 2.54 mm lead pitch and 15.24 mm body width. However, the internal dual-anode/common-cathode pinout differs from single-diode TO-220AB parts, so PCB layout must match the TSF10H60C-specific pin assignment (Pin 1 = Anode 1, Pin 2 = Cathode, Pin 3 = Anode 2).

What is the typical forward voltage of the TSF10H60C at 5 A and 125°C?

The TSF10H60C exhibits a typical forward voltage of 0.48 V at 5 A and 125°C, with a maximum of 0.58 V under those conditions. This low, temperature-stable VF is enabled by its patented trench Schottky process and contributes directly to reduced conduction losses in high-temperature applications like LED drivers and server DC/DC converters where ambient temperatures exceed 70°C.

Does the TSF10H60C meet halogen-free requirements?

Yes, the TSF10H60C is halogen-free in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21 and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The molding compound contains no brominated or chlorinated flame retardants, and the matte tin-plated leads are fully compliant with JEDEC J-STD-002 for solderability. This makes the TSF10H60C suitable for environmentally regulated end equipment including CE-marked industrial power supplies and energy-efficient lighting systems.

What is the surge current rating for the TSF10H60C at 1 ms pulse width?

The TSF10H60C is rated for a surge peak forward current (IFSM) of 310 A at t = 1.0 ms, per the absolute maximum ratings table. This high short-duration surge capability enables robust operation during cold-start inrush events in AC adapters and motor drive auxiliary supplies. The rating assumes unidirectional half-sine waveform and is validated under JEDEC test conditions - no derating is required for standard 1 ms surge profiles in certified designs.
