2W005G

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The onsemi 2W005G is a single-phase bridge rectifier diode constructed from silicon, designed for general-purpose rectification applications. It features a glass-passivated junction to ensure high reliability and surge current capability. The device is housed in the WOG case style, which is suitable for printed circuit board mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum average forward rectified current of 2 A at an ambient temperature of 50°C and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. The component exhibits a typical reverse leakage current of less than 0.5 μA and supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 60 A under standard test conditions.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Glass-passivated junction provides high reliability and protection against voltage transients.
• High surge current capability ensures robust performance during transient load events.
• Ideal for printed circuit board applications due to compact package design.

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC conversion in power supplies.
• Bridge rectifier circuits in consumer electronics.
• Low-voltage DC power distribution systems.

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as the 2W005G part number is historically associated with Vishay General Semiconductor. Confirm whether the specific unit is sourced from onsemi or another authorized distributor holding legacy inventory. Ensure the datasheet matches the WOG package and 50V rating specifications before integration into the bill of materials.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component for low-voltage, medium-current rectification tasks requiring a compact through-hole or surface-mount solution. The 50 V reverse voltage rating limits suitability to low-voltage AC inputs. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the 2 A continuous current rating and the specific ambient operating conditions of the target enclosure.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

The 2W005G belongs to the family of single-phase bridge rectifiers rated at 2 Amperes. Variants within this series typically offer different reverse voltage ratings, such as 100 V, 200 V, up to 1000 V, while maintaining the same current handling and package form factor. This specific model represents the lowest voltage option in the standard range.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 2 A, 50 V bridge rectifiers in the WOG package, such as the MBR2050CT (if pin-compatible) or generic equivalents like the KBPC5010 (with voltage derating). Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when cross-referencing with Vishay or Littelfuse alternatives.
