DB205-BP

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The DB205-BP is a single-phase glass passivated silicon bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It belongs to the DB205L series and provides an average forward rectified current of 1.5 Amperes. The device supports peak repetitive reverse voltages ranging from 50 Volts to 1000 Volts, with the '05' suffix indicating a specific voltage rating within this range. It utilizes a bulk packaging format and features a lead-free finish compliant with RoHS standards.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides mechanical strength and meets moisture resistance requirements for soldering.

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General purpose full-wave rectification in power supplies
• AC to DC conversion circuits
• Low to medium current electronic equipment

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the exact datasheet version for the specific voltage code associated with the '05' designation, as ratings vary across the 50V to 1000V range. Confirm package dimensions against the official MCC drawing for PCB layout compatibility. Ensure compliance with project-specific environmental regulations regarding halogen content and lead-free finishes.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1.5A bridge rectifier is required for standard frequency applications. Compare thermal dissipation capabilities against the expected load current and ambient temperature conditions. Verify that the maximum reverse voltage rating exceeds the peak inverse voltage present in the circuit design to ensure reliable operation.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part is part of the DB205L series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. It shares the same physical footprint and general electrical characteristics as other variants in the series, differing primarily in their peak repetitive reverse voltage ratings. The series is designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the DB205LS from Rectron, which offers identical 1.5A current and 50-1000V voltage specifications. Other compatible bridge rectifiers must match the 1.5A average forward current and the specific peak reverse voltage requirement of the original design.
