PBPC804

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The PBPC804 is an 8.0A single-phase bridge rectifier from Diodes Incorporated, designed for through-hole mounting in the PBPC-8 case. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 400V and a maximum average rectified output current of 8.0A at a case temperature of 50°C. The device supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 125A and exhibits a typical forward voltage of 1.1V per element at 4.0A. Operating temperatures range from -65°C to +150°C junction temperature, with a high case dielectric strength of 1500V.

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by checking the manufacturer marking on the body against the datasheet specifications. Confirm the package type matches the PBPC-8 dimensions provided in the mechanical data section. Ensure compliance with RoHS requirements if applicable to your specific manufacturing standards. Review the EOL status carefully as this component is not recommended for new designs.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 400V reverse voltage rating and 8.0A continuous current are required for PCB-mounted applications. Consider the thermal derating curve if operating above 50°C case temperature. Evaluate the 125A surge capability against potential inrush currents in the target circuit design to ensure adequate safety margins during startup conditions.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the PBPC801-PBPC807 series of 8.0A bridge rectifiers offered by Diodes Incorporated. The series covers various voltage ratings from 50V to 1000V within the same physical PBPC-8 package footprint. This standardization allows for flexible design choices while maintaining consistent mechanical mounting requirements across different voltage applications.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives from other manufacturers offering similar 8.0A/400V specifications in the PBPC-8 package. Verify that any substitute meets the 1500V case dielectric strength requirement. Ensure the replacement component maintains the same through-hole mounting torque limits and solderability characteristics.
