BU1006-M3/45

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The BU1006-M3/45 is a Vishay General Semiconductor enhanced isoCink+™ bridge rectifier featuring a thin single in-line package. It provides an average rectified forward current of 10 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. The device utilizes glass passivated chip junctions for superior thermal conductivity and includes matte tin plated leads that are solderable per J-STD-002. Operating within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C, it offers a typical thermal resistance of 3.0 °C/W (junction-to-case) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-air).

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junctions ensure high reliability and superior thermal conductivity.
• Thin single in-line package design facilitates compact circuit board layouts.
• Matte tin plated leads provide reliable solderability compliant with industry standards.

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• AC/DC bridge full wave rectification for switching power supplies
• Rectification circuits in home appliances
• White-goods applications

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific M3 suffix indicates halogen-free and RoHS-compliant commercial grade construction. Confirm the /45 packaging code corresponds to tube delivery with a base quantity of 20 units. Ensure compliance with JESD 201 class 1A whisker test requirements if applicable to the assembly process.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component for general-purpose AC/DC rectification requiring 10 A continuous current at 600 V reverse voltage. Consider the 150 °C maximum junction temperature rating for high-temperature environments. Evaluate the need for heatsinking based on the derating curves provided in the datasheet for ambient temperatures exceeding 25 °C.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the BU1006, BU1008, and BU1010 series of enhanced isoCink+™ bridge rectifiers from Vishay General Semiconductor. The series shares common mechanical features and thermal characteristics, differentiated primarily by their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings of 600 V, 800 V, and 1000 V respectively.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

BU1006-E3/45 serves as a parameter-equivalent alternative within the same product family, differing only in halogen status while maintaining identical electrical specifications and packaging.

Bridge Rectifier FAQ

What is the maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current?

The maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) is 120 A for an 8.3 ms single sine-wave pulse at TJ = 25 °C.

How does the forward voltage vary with temperature?

At IF = 5.0 A, the maximum instantaneous forward voltage decreases from 1.05 V at TA = 25 °C to 0.95 V at TA = 125 °C.

Is the device suitable for floating ground applications?

Yes, but Vishay recommends using an insulator to meet safety requirements when mounting the device in a Floating Ground application.
