PBPC607

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The PBPC607 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, designed for high-current applications. It features a maximum average rectified output current of 6.0 A at a case temperature of 50°C and supports a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 1000 V. The device utilizes a PBPC-6 through-hole package with molded plastic construction rated UL 94V-0. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 1.1 V at 3.0 A and a non-repetitive peak forward surge current capability of 125 A. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• High current capability with 6.0 A average rectified output
• Robust surge overload rating supporting 125 A peak current
• High case dielectric strength rated at 1500 V
• UL Listed recognized component suitable for PCB mounting

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC power supply circuits
• Industrial equipment requiring robust bridge rectification
• Consumer electronics utilizing printed circuit board mounting

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision (DS21322) when sourcing components, as electrical parameters may vary between revisions. Confirm that the supplier provides genuine Diodes Incorporated products to ensure compliance with the specified mechanical and electrical ratings. Check for any end-of-life notices or alternative part recommendations from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select the PBPC607 when a 1000 V reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 6.0 A continuous current capacity. Ensure the application allows for adequate thermal management, as the rated current depends on maintaining the case temperature at 50°C. Consider the physical dimensions of the PBPC-6 package and the requirement for through-hole mounting with #6 screw clearance during the layout phase.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

The PBPC607 belongs to the PBPC601-PBPC607 series of 6.0 A bridge rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. This family shares identical mechanical packaging and current handling capabilities, differing primarily in their peak repetitive reverse voltage ratings which range from 50 V to 1000 V across the series variants.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same voltage class include other 6.0 A bridge rectifiers in the PBPC-6 package. Verify that replacement parts match the 1000 V reverse voltage, 6.0 A current rating, and physical footprint requirements.
