With the plus-sign convention Dμ​=∂μ​+igT3​Wμ3​+ig′YBμ​, let tanθW​=g′/g and Aμ​=sinθW​Wμ3​+cosθW​Bμ​. The coefficient of Aμ​ is gsinθW​T3​+g′cosθW​Y=e(T3​+Y), where e=gsinθW​=g′cosθW​. The extra minus sign in the interaction Lagrangian comes from the i in ψˉ​iγμDμ​ψ. It reproduces the electric charges of every component of an Standard Model representation.
