B380C1500B

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The Diotec Semiconductor B380C1500B is a single-phase diode bridge rectifier designed for commercial-grade applications. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 800 V and supports a maximum rectified output current of 1.8 A in free-standing operation at an ambient temperature of 50°C. The device exhibits a forward voltage drop below 1.1 V at 2 A and maintains a leakage current under 5 µA at the rated reverse voltage. Operating within a junction temperature range of -50°C to +150°C, it utilizes a 4-SIP package with a typical thermal resistance of 40 K/W from junction to ambient.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Four diodes integrated in a bridge configuration
• UL recognized component for independent or heatsink-mounted operation
• Compliant with RoHS directives and REACH regulations

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• 50/60 Hz mains rectification
• General power supplies

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm exact mechanical pinning and compliance status. Confirm that the component meets standard commercial reliability requirements rather than automotive grades. Ensure design parameters align with the specified thermal resistance and surge current limits provided in the datasheet.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component for standard AC-to-DC conversion where high efficiency is not the primary constraint. Evaluate thermal management strategies based on the 40 K/W junction-to-ambient resistance. Ensure the circuit includes protective elements if the capacitive load charging exceeds the specified peak surge current limits.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the BxxC1500 series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Diotec Semiconductor. The series covers various voltage ratings from 40 V to 1000 V while maintaining consistent current handling capabilities. It serves as a fundamental building block for low-to-medium power industrial and consumer electronics requiring reliable mains rectification.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

The B380C2300-1500B designation refers to the identical device structure. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. No direct cross-brand equivalents are confirmed in the source material.
