BR5006W

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The BR5006W is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier from the BR5000W series, rated for a maximum average forward current of 50 A at a case temperature of 55°C. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) of 600 V and a maximum RMS voltage of 420 V. The device exhibits a typical thermal resistance from junction to case of 1.0 °C/W and supports a peak forward surge current of 400 A under JEDEC conditions. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V per diode at 25 A and a reverse leakage current of 10 mA at 25°C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• High current capability with integrated metal heatsink
• Low forward voltage drop and low reverse current
• High case dielectric strength for isolation
• Polarity symbols marked on the molded plastic case

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• AC to DC conversion circuits
• Industrial equipment requiring high surge tolerance

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by checking manufacturer markings against official datasheet specifications. Confirm package dimensions and terminal plating standards match MIL-STD-202 requirements. Ensure storage and handling procedures comply with moisture sensitivity levels to maintain solderability and electrical performance upon installation.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select the BR5006W when circuit design requires a 600 V blocking voltage combined with a 50 A continuous current rating. Consider the 1.0 °C/W thermal resistance for heat sink sizing calculations. Verify that the operating junction temperature range of -40°C to +150°C aligns with environmental constraints. Derate current by 20% if used in capacitive load applications.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This component belongs to the BR5000W series of silicon bridge rectifiers manufactured by EIC Semiconductor Inc.
