BR1000

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The BR1000 is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier manufactured by EIC Semiconductor Inc. It provides a maximum average forward current of 10 A at a case temperature of 55 °C and supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. The device features a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 5 A and a peak forward surge current rating of 200 A. Electrical characteristics are specified at 25 °C ambient temperature for resistive or inductive loads, with a derating requirement of 20% for capacitive loads. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -40 to +150 °C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• High current capability with low forward voltage drop
• High surge current capability and high reliability

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet revision and electrical parameters against the official EIC Semiconductor documentation before integration. Confirm compliance with Pb/RoHS Free requirements and UL94V-0 flame retardant epoxy standards. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance and operating temperature limits.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring 10 A continuous current and 50 V blocking voltage. Consider derating the current by 20% if used with capacitive loads. Verify that the operating environment stays within the -40 to +150 °C junction temperature range and matches the axial lead mounting style.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

The BR1000 belongs to the BR1000-BR1010 series of silicon bridge rectifiers from EIC Semiconductor Inc. This family shares identical mechanical construction and current ratings but varies in peak reverse voltage capabilities ranging from 50 V to 1000 V. The series utilizes molded plastic construction with axial leads suitable for PCB mounting.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 10 A, 50 V silicon bridge rectifiers ensuring equivalent IFSM ratings and package dimensions. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal dissipation requirements.
