PB31-BP

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The PB31-BP is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 3A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100V. The device utilizes a standard silicon technology with a low forward voltage drop of 1.2V at 1.5A. It is housed in a PB-3 package, which supports through-hole mounting with a flange for screw attachment. The component has a surge rating of 50 amps and is designed for any mounting position.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source when sourcing this component, as availability may vary across distributors. Confirm that the received part matches the PB-3 package style and electrical ratings specified in official documentation. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed during installation to maintain the integrity of the plastic encapsulation and internal junctions.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select the PB31-BP for applications requiring a robust 3A single-phase rectification solution with a 100V blocking voltage. The PB-3 package offers distinct advantages for thermal management and mechanical stability due to its flange mount design. Consider the 50A surge rating when designing for inductive loads or high-inrush scenarios. Evaluate the 1.2V forward voltage drop impact on overall system efficiency compared to alternatives.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

The PB31-BP belongs to MCC's line of single-phase bridge rectifiers. It is part of a series that includes variants with different voltage and current ratings. The PB-3 package is a common form factor for medium-power rectification needs, offering a balance between performance and ease of mounting. This component serves as a fundamental building block in AC-to-DC conversion stages.
