MT5008A-BP

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The MT5008A-BP is a three-phase bridge rectifier from the MT-35A series by Micro Commercial Components. It features a 50 A average rectified forward current and an 800 V peak repetitive reverse voltage rating. The device utilizes glass passivated chip junctions for reliability and offers high surge current capability with a non-repetitive peak surge current of 500 A. Electrical characteristics include a typical forward voltage of 1.2 V and a reverse current of 10 μA at rated voltage. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 0.88 °C/W, supporting operation within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction construction
• High surge current capability
• Lead-free finish compliant with RoHS directives

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General purpose three-phase bridge rectifier applications

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify authenticity by purchasing directly from Micro Commercial Components or authorized distributors listed on their official website. Counterfeit parts pose significant risks; MCC does not provide warranty coverage for components acquired from unauthorized sources. Ensure ordering suffixes match specific compliance requirements, such as the 'BP' designation indicating RoHS compliance.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component based on its 50 A current handling and 800 V voltage blocking capabilities. Consider the thermal resistance of 0.88 °C/W when designing heatsinking solutions. Verify that the mounting torque specifications align with the mechanical constraints of the target assembly, ensuring proper heat sink contact for optimal thermal performance.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the MT5004A through MT5016A series, which covers voltage ratings from 400 V to 1600 V. All devices in this family share the same MT-35A package and 50 A current rating, differing primarily in their peak repetitive reverse voltage specifications. The series is designed for robust general-purpose industrial applications requiring reliable three-phase rectification.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the MCC lineup include MT5004A, MT5006A, MT5010A, MT5012A, MT5014A, and MT5016A, provided voltage ratings are sufficient. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the 50 A current, 800 V minimum reverse voltage, and MT-35A physical footprint. Verify thermal resistance and forward voltage characteristics to ensure circuit compatibility.
