BR805

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor BR805 is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier rated for an average forward current of 8.0 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. It features a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.1 V per element at 4.0 A and a maximum DC reverse current of 10 μA at rated blocking voltage. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 250 A under half-sine wave conditions. Operating temperature ranges from -65 °C to 125 °C, with storage capability up to 150 °C. The component utilizes the BR8 package with through-hole mounting for a #6 screw.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Low forward voltage drop
• Low leakage current
• Not ESD sensitive

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• Single-phase AC to DC power conversion
• General-purpose rectification in low-voltage circuits

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official manufacturer documentation to confirm electrical ratings and mechanical dimensions. Ensure compatibility with the required thermal management and mounting hardware specifications before procurement.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring an 8 A continuous current rating with a 50 V reverse voltage capability. Consider the 1.1 V forward voltage drop for efficiency calculations and verify that the operating temperature range meets the system requirements.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

The BR805 belongs to the BR8 series of single-phase silicon bridge rectifiers manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. This series includes variants with different voltage ratings, such as the BR81 (100 V), BR82 (200 V), and BR84 (400 V), all sharing the same 8 A current rating and BR8 package form factor.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Compatible replacements include other single-phase bridge rectifiers with an 8 A current rating and a minimum 50 V reverse voltage rating. Ensure the replacement device matches the BR8 package dimensions and mounting hole configuration for direct interchangeability.
