BR1008SG-G

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The BR1008SG-G is a single-phase glass passivated bridge rectifier manufactured by Comchip Technology. It features a silicon construction with a maximum average forward rectified current of 10 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 800 V. The device utilizes a through-hole mounting style in an R-XUFM-W4 package, commonly identified as the BR8 form factor. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 175 A and a low forward voltage drop. The component operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C and includes silver-plated copper leads for reliable soldering.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides protection against mechanical stress and chemical contamination.
• Low forward voltage drop contributes to improved system efficiency.
• High surge overload rating supports handling of transient current spikes.

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC power supply circuits
• Battery charging systems
• DC motor drive rectification

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SG' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm glass passivation status and RoHS compliance details. Ensure the BR8 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V blocking voltage and 10 A continuous current capacity are required in a standard through-hole configuration. Consider the 175 A surge rating for applications involving high inrush currents or transformer energization.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the BR1000 series of bridge rectifiers from Comchip Technology, designed for general-purpose applications. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 10 A current capability and compact BR8 package design.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 10 A current, 800 V reverse voltage, and BR8 through-hole package. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before implementing any cross-brand replacements.
