Product details
Overview
TUAS6DH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 6A, 200V standard surface-mount rectifier diode in TO-277A (SMPC4.6U) package, featuring AEC-Q101 qualification, glass passivated junction, 140A surge capability, and wettable flank for automated optical inspection. It serves as primary AC/DC rectification element in automotive DC-DC converters and lighting modules.
For engineers reviewing the TUAS6DH datasheet, TUAS6DH pinout, TUAS6DH application, or TUAS6DH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 0.98V max forward voltage at 6A/25°C, 5°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, AEC-Q101 qualification, and TO-277A mechanical compatibility with IPC-7351B land patterns.
Technical Context
The TUAS6DH is a single-die, standard recovery silicon rectifier optimized for high-reliability automotive power conversion. Its glass passivated junction ensures stable reverse leakage (<5µA @ 25°C) and robust surge tolerance (140A IFSM, 8.3ms), while the wettable flank design supports solder joint quality verification in SMT lines.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 5°C/W and RθJA = 45°C/W on a 16mm × 16mm Cu pad PCB. The device operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines minimum system isolation margin in 24V/48V automotive DC-DC inputs |
| IF | 6 A - Continuous average forward current rating at TC = 115°C; determines heatsink-free operation in compact LED driver PCBs |
| IFSM | 140 A - Non-repetitive surge current (8.3ms half-sine); enables survival during load dump transients in vehicle electrical systems |
| VF @ 6A/25°C | 0.98 V max - Forward voltage drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in high-duty-cycle rectifiers |
| RθJL | 5 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables direct thermal coupling to copper pour for passive cooling without external heatsinks |
| IR @ 25°C | 5 µA max - Reverse leakage current at rated VR; critical for low-power standby circuits and snubber energy retention |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-277A (SMPC4.6U), surface-mount, single-anode/single-cathode configuration with cathode band marking. Matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 molding compound, 0.107g mass.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar standard rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-6EWH02-M3 | 200V VRRM, 6A IF, TO-277A, but AEC-Q101 not claimed; VF = 1.05V max @ 6A | Lacks formal automotive qualification; suitable for industrial DC-DC where AEC-Q101 is not mandated | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance requirements and thermal margin allows higher VF |
| ON Semiconductor MUR620CT | 200V VRRM, 6A IF, but TO-220AC package; fast recovery (trr = 35ns); VF = 1.15V max @ 6A | Through-hole mounting only; higher VF and trr increase switching losses in high-frequency converters | Choose only if legacy TO-220 footprint reuse is mandatory and board-level vibration is not a concern |
Compared with VS-6EWH02-M3 and MUR620CT, the TUAS6DH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, wettable flank for AOI, and industry-low 0.98V VF in surface-mount TO-277A - making it the preferred choice for new automotive designs requiring zero-defect SMT yield and thermal efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for TUAS6DH?
The TUAS6DH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) of +150°C, validated across its full operating range from -55°C to +150°C. This rating enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C, provided the thermal design achieves the specified RθJL = 5°C/W via proper PCB copper pad implementation. The TUAS6DH maintains stable electrical parameters-including IR and VF-up to this limit.
Is TUAS6DH pin-compatible with other devices in the TUAS6xH series?
No, TUAS6DH is not pin-compatible with other TUAS6xH variants in terms of electrical function, though all share the identical TO-277A (SMPC4.6U) package and pinout. The "x" denotes different VRRM ratings (e.g., TUAS6GH = 400V), so substituting TUAS6DH for a higher-voltage variant risks reverse breakdown. Mechanical fit is identical, but electrical replacement requires validation against system voltage stress margins.
Does TUAS6DH require baking before reflow soldering?
No, TUAS6DH does not require baking prior to reflow. It is rated J-STD-020 Level 1 for moisture sensitivity, meaning it may be placed directly onto the SMT line after dry pack opening with no floor life limitation or preconditioning. This eliminates bake steps in high-throughput automotive electronics manufacturing and reduces risk of lead oxidation or flux residue issues.
What is the significance of the wettable flank feature on TUAS6DH?
The wettable flank on TUAS6DH refers to intentional side-wall plating on the molded leads, enabling automated optical inspection (AOI) systems to verify solder fillet formation and detect voids or insufficient wetting during reflow. This feature directly supports zero-defect quality goals in automotive electronics manufacturing and is a key enabler for process traceability in IATF 16949-certified lines using the TUAS6DH.
How does TUAS6DH's forward voltage compare at elevated temperature?
At 6A and TJ = 125°C, TUAS6DH's forward voltage is 0.88V (typical), lower than its 0.98V max at 25°C due to the negative temperature coefficient of silicon PN junctions. This reduction improves conduction efficiency in thermally stressed conditions-such as sustained LED driver operation-and contributes to self-limiting thermal behavior when used within its derated current envelope.
