ABS24

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The ABS24 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions, designed for surface-mount applications. It features a standard recovery fast action characteristic with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400V and an average forward rectified current rating of 2A. The device utilizes a glass passivated die construction to ensure reliability under high surge conditions. Housed in an ABS package, it offers low forward voltage drop and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, making it suitable for general-purpose power supply protection.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction for enhanced durability
• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency
• High surge current capability for robust performance

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General-purpose power supply circuits
• DC-DC converter input protection
• Battery charging systems

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and package marking codes upon procurement. Confirm that the received components match the ABS24 designation and SMC Diode Solutions origin. Ensure storage conditions comply with moisture sensitivity levels specified in the official documentation to maintain solderability and electrical integrity before assembly.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface-mount single-phase bridge rectifier is required for compact designs. The 400V reverse voltage and 2A current ratings define its operational limits. Consider the ABS package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Verify thermal management requirements based on the expected forward current and ambient operating temperatures during circuit design.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the family of surface-mount bridge rectifiers from SMC Diode Solutions. It complements through-hole alternatives like the ABS22 by offering a lower profile suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. The ABS package provides mechanical stability while maintaining electrical performance comparable to larger discrete diode configurations.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 400V reverse voltage, 2A average current, and ABS surface-mount package. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics. Generic replacements should offer equal or superior surge current handling and forward voltage specifications to ensure circuit reliability without redesigning the PCB footprint.
