CD-MBL206S

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The CD-MBL206S is a single-phase surface mount bridge rectifier diode from the CD-MBL2xxS(L) series manufactured by Bourns. It features a compact SMD-4 package with dimensions of approximately 5.72 mm in length, 4.10 mm in width, and 1.10 mm in height. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current (IF(AV)) of 2.0 A at 55 °C and offers a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 600 V. Key electrical characteristics include a typical instantaneous forward voltage (VF) of 0.95 V at 2 A, a maximum repetitive peak reverse current (IRRM) of 5.0 μA at +25 °C, and a junction capacitance (CJ) of 25 pF. It withstands a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 50.0 A and operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Cable modems

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm the exact electrical variant, as the 'S' suffix denotes standard forward voltage characteristics distinct from the 'SL' low voltage version. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS and REACH status directly from the manufacturer's datasheet before finalizing procurement specifications.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select the CD-MBL206S when a 600 V peak reverse voltage rating and 2 A continuous forward current are required in a compact surface mount form factor. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -55 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range and that thermal management accounts for the junction-to-air thermal resistance of 95 °C/W on the recommended footprint.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This component belongs to the CD-MBL2xxS(L) series of surface mount bridge rectifiers. The series provides options for 600 V, 800 V, and 1000 V peak reverse voltages while maintaining a consistent 2 A forward current rating across all variants. The 'CD-MBL206S' specifically designates the 600 V version with standard forward voltage characteristics, distinguishing it from the low forward voltage 'SL' variants within the same physical package family.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include CD-MBL208S (800 V) and CD-MBL210S (1000 V), provided the circuit voltage ratings allow for higher breakdown capabilities. Low forward voltage equivalents such as CD-MBL206SL share identical mechanical dimensions but exhibit different forward voltage drops.
