CBRHD-02 BK PBFREE

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The Central Semiconductor CBRHD-02 BK PBFREE is a surface mount silicon high-density full-wave bridge rectifier. It features glass passivated chips within a durable epoxy molded case. The device supports a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 200 V and an average forward current of 0.5 A at 40°C on glass-epoxy PCBs, or 0.8 A on ceramic PCBs. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65 to +150°C. The component utilizes the HD DIP package, requiring only 42 mm² of board space.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• High density design utilizing 50% more board space efficiency compared to standard 1.0 Amp surface mount bridge rectifiers.
• Glass passivated chips provide enhanced reliability for the silicon diode elements.

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• Surface mount power supply circuits
• Bridge rectification in compact electronic assemblies

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix requirements with the manufacturer before placing orders. Confirm that the requested plating option matches the application needs, as lead-free and tin/lead variants require distinct part number suffixes. Ensure compatibility with the specified thermal mounting conditions for accurate current rating assessment.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when board space is limited and higher current density than standard 1.0 Amp packages is required. Verify the PCB material type, as the average forward current rating increases significantly when mounted on ceramic substrates compared to glass-epoxy boards. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified temperature limits.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This device belongs to the CBRHD series of surface mount silicon bridge rectifiers manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings, such as the CBRHD-04, CBRHD-06, and CBRHD-10. All members share the same high-density HD DIP package and glass passivation technology.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 200 V reverse voltage, 0.5 A average forward current, and HD DIP package dimensions. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics against alternative high-density bridge rectifiers from other manufacturers.
