BR68 is listed in the Bridge Rectifier range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists GeneSiC Semiconductor. Its product description is BRIDGE RECT 1PHASE 800V 6A BR-6. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The GeneSiC Semiconductor BR68 is a single-phase glass passivated silicon bridge rectifier housed in the BR-6 through-hole package. It provides a maximum average forward rectified current (Io) of 6 A and supports a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 800 V. The device features a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.05 V at 3 A and a peak forward surge current rating of 150 A. Operating junction temperature ranges from -40°C to +150°C, with a thermal resistance (RθJA) of 9 °C/W.
Verify component authenticity by checking markings on the BR-6 package body. Confirm datasheet revision dates and electrical test conditions match design requirements. Ensure supplier documentation aligns with GeneSiC Semiconductor specifications for the BR68 part number.
Select the BR68 when an 800 V blocking voltage is required alongside a 6 A continuous current rating. Compare thermal resistance and surge ratings against circuit load profiles. Verify that the BR-6 package dimensions fit the target printed circuit board layout constraints.
The BR68 belongs to the BR66 thru BR610 series of single-phase bridge rectifiers. This family utilizes glass passivation technology and shares the BR-6 molded plastic case. Variants within the series differ primarily in their peak reverse voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling capabilities.
Direct substitutes include other BR-6 packaged bridge rectifiers with matching 800 V VRRM and 6 A Io ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance before substitution.
