B380C5000A

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The Diotec Semiconductor B380C5000A is a single-phase diode bridge rectifier designed for commercial and industrial applications. It features an average forward current (IFAV) of 3.3 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 800 V. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop (VF) of less than 1.0 V at 25°C junction temperature and 5 A forward current, with a leakage current (IR) below 5 µA at rated voltage. Key electrical parameters include a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 1500 ns, a typical junction capacitance of 40 pF, and a thermal resistance from junction to ambient of 20 K/W. The component supports a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 165 A under standard half-sine wave conditions.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• High-voltage capability with 800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage rating
• Low forward voltage drop for improved energy efficiency
• Robust surge current handling capacity for mains protection
• Standardized thermal resistance for reliable heat dissipation

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General-purpose AC-DC power supply rectification
• Industrial control systems requiring high-voltage isolation
• Consumer electronics power adapters
• Battery charging circuits

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Diotec documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS and ELV directives as stated in the datasheet. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required IFSM and thermal derating curves for your specific ambient temperature environment before finalizing procurement.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V blocking voltage and approximately 3.3 A continuous current are required in a compact bridge configuration. Consider the 1500 ns reverse recovery time for standard frequency applications rather than high-frequency switching. Evaluate the thermal resistance of 20 K/W against your heatsinking strategy to ensure the junction temperature remains within the -50°C to +150°C operating range under maximum load conditions.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the BxxC5000 series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Diotec Semiconductor. The series offers various voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining consistent current handling capabilities. The B380C5000A specifically targets applications needing robust 800 V performance with standard silicon rectification characteristics, fitting into the broader portfolio of general-purpose power conversion components.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalent parts from other manufacturers offering 800 V, 3.3 A bridge rectifiers in compatible packages such as KBPC or similar DIP/SMD configurations. Verify that replacement devices meet or exceed the 165 A surge current rating and 1500 ns reverse recovery time specifications to ensure circuit compatibility.
