B250C1500B

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The Diotec B250C1500B is a single-phase diode bridge rectifier designed for commercial-grade applications. It features four internal diodes in a bridge configuration with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 600 V per diode. The device supports a maximum rectified output current (IFAV) of 1.5 A under capacitive load conditions at an ambient temperature of 50°C, or 1.8 A under resistive load. It exhibits a forward voltage drop (VF) of less than 1.1 V at 2 A and a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of approximately 1500 ns. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -50°C to +150°C and is housed in a compact package suitable for free-standing operation or heatsink mounting.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Diotec documentation to confirm package pinning version and compliance status. Ensure the selected variant matches the required voltage and current ratings for the target application. Confirm availability of SPICE models and STEP files if simulation or mechanical integration is planned. Check for any updates to the datasheet version before finalizing procurement specifications.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component based on the 600 V reverse voltage requirement and 1.5 A continuous current capability under capacitive loads. Consider the thermal resistance values when designing heatsinking solutions for higher ambient temperatures. Verify that the protective resistance and capacitor load parameters align with the circuit design to prevent exceeding peak surge current limits during startup.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the BxxC2300-1500x series from Diotec Semiconductor, which includes variants with different voltage ratings ranging from 80 V to 1000 V. The 'B' suffix indicates a specific case material and pinning configuration compared to the 'A' version. All devices in this series share identical electrical characteristics and are intended for standard commercial and industrial applications requiring reliable AC-to-DC conversion.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other B250C1500x variants from Diotec with matching voltage and current ratings. Cross-brand replacements must match the 600 V VRRM, 1.5 A IFAV, and similar physical dimensions. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance before substitution.
