EGBU2506-BP

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The EGBU2506-BP is a bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a single-phase, full-wave configuration with a glass passivated junction construction. The device is rated for a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600V and an average forward rectified current of 2A at a case temperature of 75°C. It utilizes the DO-201AB axial leaded package, designed for general-purpose rectification applications in power supply circuits requiring reliable performance under standard operating conditions.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junctions provide excellent reliability and resistance to surge overloads.
• High current capability combined with low forward voltage drop characteristics.
• Robust mechanical design suitable for automated insertion processes.

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General purpose AC to DC conversion in power supplies
• Battery charging circuits
• DC power adapters

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix -BP against official Micro Commercial Components documentation to confirm packaging type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required voltage and current ratings for your circuit design. Cross-reference datasheets from authorized distributors to confirm availability and authenticity before procurement.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2A current rating and 600V reverse voltage are required in an axial package. Consider thermal management requirements as the DO-201AB package relies on PCB copper area for heat dissipation. Verify that the forward voltage drop meets the efficiency requirements of the target application compared to Schottky alternatives if lower loss is critical.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This component belongs to the EGBU series of bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling capabilities. The EGBU2506 variant specifically targets applications needing moderate current and high voltage isolation in a compact axial form factor, distinguishing it from surface mount or larger industrial-grade bridge options.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 2A, 600V axial bridge rectifiers such as those from Vishay or Littelfuse. Ensure pinout compatibility and similar forward voltage characteristics. Verify that replacement parts meet the same safety certifications and thermal performance standards required by the original design.
