CBRHD-02 TR13 PBFREE

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The CBRHD-02 TR13 PBFREE is a surface mount silicon high density bridge rectifier manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. It features glass passivated chips within a durable epoxy molded case. The device supports a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 200 V and a DC blocking voltage of 200 V. It provides an average forward current of 0.5 A at 40°C on glass-epoxy PCBs, or 0.8 A on ceramic PCBs. The maximum RMS reverse voltage is 140 V, with a peak forward surge current rating of 30 A. Electrical characteristics include a typical forward voltage of 1.0 V at 400 mA and a junction capacitance of 20 pF. Operating and storage temperatures range from -65°C to +150°C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• High density design requiring only 42mm² of board space compared to standard 120mm² for similar current ratings.
• Utilizes glass passivated chips to ensure high reliability in surface mount applications.

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• Surface mount power supply circuits
• Compact electronic devices requiring efficient board space utilization
• Bridge rectification in low to medium current AC-to-DC conversion

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against manufacturer documentation to confirm plating options. The PBFREE designation indicates lead-free compliance. Confirm package type and reel specifications match production requirements. Ensure compatibility with RoHS directives if applicable to the target market. Cross-reference datasheet revision dates for accurate parameter validation.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when board space constraints are critical and a 0.5 A bridge rectifier is required. Compare thermal performance between glass-epoxy and ceramic PCB mounting options as they significantly impact current handling capabilities. Verify that the 200 V reverse voltage rating meets the circuit's peak inverse voltage requirements. Consider the 20 pF junction capacitance for high-frequency switching applications.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the CBRHD series of surface mount silicon high density bridge rectifiers. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings such as CBRHD-04, CBRHD-06, and CBRHD-10. All share the same HD DIP package and 0.5 A current rating structure, differing primarily in their peak repetitive reverse voltage capabilities.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 0.5 A current rating, 200 V reverse voltage, and HD DIP package footprint. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters such as forward voltage and leakage current. Check for equivalent thermal resistance values if operating near temperature limits.
