MP152-BP

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The MP152-BP is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a 15 A average forward rectified current rating and supports peak reverse voltages ranging from 50 V to 1000 V, with the '152' designation typically indicating a 200 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage. The device utilizes a high-conductivity metal case for efficient thermal dissipation and includes a mounting hole compatible with #8 screws for secure mechanical installation. Designed for through-hole mounting, it operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and offers a maximum surge current rating of 300 A.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• High conductivity metal case construction for superior thermal management
• Integrated mounting hole for #8 screw compatibility
• Capable of operation in any physical mounting position
• Robust surge current handling capability up to 300 A

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC power supply circuits
• Battery charging systems requiring 15 A capacity
• Industrial control equipment power stages
• Adapters and converters operating at 200 V reverse voltage

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage suffix when ordering, as the base series covers 50 V to 1000 V options. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Check manufacturer documentation for lead time updates, as availability may vary. Ensure the package type matches the PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a robust 15 A bridge rectifier with metal case cooling. Verify that the system's peak inverse voltage does not exceed the rated limit for the specific voltage variant chosen. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the through-hole pins and the central mounting hole for mechanical stability during operation.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the MCC MP series of single-phase bridge rectifiers, which are designed for general-purpose rectification tasks. The series shares common mechanical features such as the metal case and mounting hole but varies in voltage ratings. It serves as a standard solution for medium-current power conversion needs in industrial and consumer electronics.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other 15 A bridge rectifiers in similar metal packages, such as the MB152 or MP1505 variants from MCC. Cross-manufacturer equivalents must match the 15 A current rating, 200 V reverse voltage, and physical dimensions. Verify thermal resistance characteristics to ensure adequate heat dissipation in the existing design.
