S15KC M6G

Single Diodes Overview

The S15KCM6G is a standard glass passivated rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features an average forward current rating of 15A and is available in voltage ratings ranging from 400V to 1000V. The device utilizes the DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount package, ensuring compatibility with automated placement processes. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1V at 15A and a reverse leakage current of 1µA at 1000V. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and exhibits a standard recovery speed exceeding 500ns.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides enhanced stability and protection against mechanical stress and chemical damage.
• Low forward voltage drop contributes to improved system efficiency and reduced power loss.
• High surge current capability ensures robust performance during transient overload conditions.

Single Diodes Applications

• General-purpose rectification in industrial power supplies
• DC-to-AC conversion circuits in motor drives
• Power factor correction stages in electronic equipment

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage suffix corresponding to the required blocking voltage, as the base part number covers a range from 400V to 1000V. Confirm compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and WEEE 2002/96/EC requirements for your region. Ensure the ordering information matches the exact DO-214AB (SMC) package dimensions for PCB footprint compatibility. Validate that the standard recovery speed meets the thermal management requirements of the target application environment.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-current surface mount solution is required for general rectification tasks. The 15A rating supports substantial load currents without excessive heat generation due to low forward voltage. The wide operating temperature range allows deployment in harsh environments where standard components might fail. Consider the standard recovery time when designing for high-frequency switching applications to minimize reverse recovery losses.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the S15GC-S15MC series of surface mount glass passivated rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series is engineered for automated assembly lines, offering consistent performance across the product line. The S15KCM6G specifically denotes the 15A variant within this family, sharing common packaging and processing attributes with other members while differing in voltage ratings.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Substitute parts must match the 15A current rating, DO-214AB package, and similar forward voltage characteristics. Verify that alternative devices meet or exceed the 1000V reverse voltage capability if operating at the upper limit of the series range.
