2W08G-E4/51

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The Vishay 2W08G-E4/51 is a single-phase bridge rectifier from the W08G series, designed for general-purpose applications. It features a 600 V peak reverse voltage (Vrrm) and supports an average forward current of 1.5 A. The device accommodates a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50 A. Electrical characteristics include a typical forward voltage drop of 1.0 V at rated current and a low reverse leakage current of 5 µA. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and utilizes a WOG-4 through-hole package with solder pin termination.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• High thermal stability enabling operation up to 150°C junction temperature
• Robust surge current handling capability for transient protection
• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency
• Through-hole mounting for reliable mechanical attachment

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC power supply circuits
• Battery charging systems
• DC motor drive rectification

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /51 against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure the component matches the RoHS directive requirements as indicated by the E4 designation. Cross-reference the Vishay part number directly with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and current production status before procurement.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V rating is required for single-phase rectification. Compare the 1.5 A continuous current capacity against circuit load requirements. Consider the WOG-4 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate the 1.0 V forward voltage drop impact on overall system efficiency compared to Schottky alternatives if lower loss is critical.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay W08G series of glass-passivated silicon bridge rectifiers. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining consistent current and package characteristics. The 2W08G variant specifically targets applications requiring 600 V blocking capability in a compact through-hole form factor.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay W08G variants with matching electrical ratings, such as W08G-E4/51. Equivalent parts from other manufacturers must match the 1.5 A current, 600 V voltage, and WOG-4 package footprint. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance before substitution.
