RABS15MH

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The RABS15MH is a fast recovery bridge rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor. It features an ABS-L package and supports a maximum average forward current of 1.5 A with a repetitive peak reverse voltage rating of 1000 V. The device exhibits a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 26 °C/W and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.30 V at 1.5 A, a maximum reverse current of 1 µA at 25°C, and a maximum reverse recovery time of 500 ns. The suffix 'H' indicates that the component meets AEC-Q101 automotive qualification standards.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code matches the required automotive qualification status. Confirm the package type corresponds to the ABS-L form factor. Ensure the tape and reel quantity aligns with production requirements. Cross-reference the datasheet version D2103 for accurate electrical parameters. Validate compliance with RoHS and halogen-free directives before procurement.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when high-frequency operation requires fast reverse recovery characteristics. Consider the 1.5 A current rating and 1000 V blocking voltage for appropriate circuit design. Evaluate the thermal resistance values for adequate heat dissipation in the target enclosure. Verify the AEC-Q101 qualification if the application demands automotive reliability standards.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the RABS15M series of fast recovery bridge rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The standard RABS15M variant provides general-purpose performance, while the RABS15MH variant specifically includes AEC-Q101 qualification. Both share identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions within the ABS-L package.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 1.5 A current rating, 1000 V reverse voltage, and ABS-L package. Verify equivalent reverse recovery times and forward voltage drops. Check for compatible thermal resistance values. Automotive applications require components meeting AEC-Q101 standards.
