B40C7000A

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The B40C7000-4000A is a single-phase diode bridge rectifier manufactured by Diotec Semiconductor. It features an average forward current (IFAV) of 7.0 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) of 700 V. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of less than 1.0 V at 25°C with 5 A current, and a leakage current (IR) below 5 µA at 25°C under full reverse voltage. Peak forward surge current (IFSM) ratings are 150 A for 50 Hz half-sine waves and 165 A for 60 Hz. The junction temperature range spans from -50°C to +150°C, with a typical thermal resistance (RthA) of 15 K/W.
