DF15005S-E3/45

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The DF15005S-E3/45 is a miniature glass passivated single-phase surface-mount bridge rectifier from Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a DFS case style with matte tin plated leads and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability standards. The device supports a maximum average forward output rectified current of 1.5 A at 40 °C ambient temperature and handles a peak forward surge current of 50 A. It offers a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V, a typical junction capacitance of 25 pF, and a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at rated current. Operating junction temperatures range from -55 to +150 °C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides protection against mechanical stresses and moisture
• Designed for automated placement in surface-mount assembly lines
• RoHS compliant construction with lead-free terminals

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• AC/DC bridge full wave rectification for switch mode power supplies
• Lighting ballast circuits
• Battery charger systems
• Home appliances and office equipment power stages
• Telecommunication applications

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix /45 corresponds to the tube delivery mode containing 50 units per base quantity as documented in the manufacturer's ordering information table. Confirm that the E3 designation indicates RoHS compliance and lead-free material categorization. Ensure the component matches the DFS case style dimensions and terminal specifications required for the target PCB layout before finalizing procurement orders.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 V reverse voltage rating is sufficient for the application's peak inverse voltage requirements. The 1.5 A average forward current capability suits low-power general-purpose rectification tasks. Verify that the surface-mount DFS package fits within the available board space constraints. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics if operating near the upper limits of the specified ambient temperature range.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the DF150xxS series of miniature surface-mount bridge rectifiers. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining identical current and physical specifications. The DF15005S specifically denotes the 50 V version within this family of glass-passivated components designed for compact electronic designs.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other parts from the same DF150xxS series with matching voltage ratings or higher, such as the DF1501S through DF15010S. Cross-brand replacements must match the DFS package outline, 1.5 A current rating, and 50 V minimum reverse voltage specification to ensure functional compatibility without redesigning the footprint.
