PB84-BP

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The PB84-BP is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features an 8 A average forward rectified current rating and supports repetitive peak reverse voltages up to 400 V. The device utilizes a molded plastic case with UL flammability classification 94V-0. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive surge current of 250 A and a typical forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at rated current. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• High surge overload capability rated at 250 A for robust transient protection
• Low forward voltage drop design to minimize conduction losses
• RoHS compliant lead-free finish for environmental safety

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC power supply circuits
• Battery charging systems requiring moderate current handling
• Industrial control equipment power stages

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the component status before procurement as it is marked NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs). Confirm that existing inventory meets project requirements since new production may be discontinued. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards via the 'P' suffix designation if applicable to specific ordering variants.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring 8 A continuous current and 400 V reverse blocking capability in a compact bulk package. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 250 A surge rating and 1.1 V forward voltage. Consider end-of-life status implications for long-term product sustainability.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the PB series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from MCC, designed for general-purpose rectification. It shares the PB-6 case style with other variants in the series, offering standardized mounting and pinout configurations for easy integration into existing circuit layouts.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

As an NRND component, verify availability of alternative bridge rectifiers with matching 8 A/400 V ratings. Check mechanical compatibility of the PB-6 package when selecting substitutes. Ensure equivalent surge current and forward voltage specifications are met.
