Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '-13' corresponds to the commercial grade tape and reel packaging containing 5,000 units per reel. Confirm that the SOPA-4 (Type B) case material meets UL flammability classification rating 94V-0 requirements for your assembly process. Ensure moisture sensitivity level 1 compliance aligns with your facility's storage and handling protocols.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2.0 A continuous current rating and 1000 V blocking voltage are required in a compact surface mount footprint. Consider the 1.3 V forward voltage drop and 17 pF capacitance for efficiency and signal integrity in high-frequency switching environments. Verify thermal resistance parameters against your PCB copper pad layout to ensure junction temperatures remain within the specified operating range.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the RABF2x(x) series of surface mount bridge rectifiers, which includes variants with different voltage ratings such as RABF22, RABF24, RABF26, and RABF28. All members share the same SOPA-4 (Type B) package and 2.0 A current capability, differing primarily in their peak repetitive reverse voltage specifications ranging from 200 V to 1000 V.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include RABF22-13, RABF24-13, RABF26-13, and RABF28-13. These parts share identical mechanical dimensions and electrical characteristics except for the maximum reverse voltage rating. Ensure the replacement voltage rating meets or exceeds the circuit requirements.

Bridge Rectifier FAQ

What is the maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current?

The maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current is 60 A for an 8.3 ms single half sine-wave superimposed on the rated load.

How is the polarity marked on the component body?

Polarity is indicated by markings on the body, showing positive (+) and negative (-) terminals along with the product type marking code and date code.

What is the typical thermal resistance from junction to ambient?

The typical thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA) is 63 °C/W per element, measured when mounted on an aluminum substrate PC board with a 1.3 mm² solder pad.
