RB153

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The MCC RB153 is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier rated for 200V maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage and 1.5A average forward current. It utilizes the RB-15 through-hole package with silver-plated copper leads. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.0V at 1.5A, a peak forward surge current capability of 50A, and a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 10µA at 25°C. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and features a thermal resistance from junction to ambient of 40°C/W.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Low profile package design suitable for any mounting position
• Surge overload rating of 50 amps for high reliability
• Silver plated copper leads for enhanced conductivity

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• Printed circuit board rectification
• General purpose power supply circuits
• Industrial control systems

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify part authenticity by purchasing directly from Micro Commercial Components or authorized distributors. Counterfeit components pose significant risks; ensure traceability and quality standards are met. Check for specific suffixes like -BP for bulk packing or -HF for halogen-free variants if required by project specifications.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select the RB153 when a 200V blocking voltage and 1.5A continuous current are required in a compact RB-15 package. Ensure the application stays within the 125°C junction temperature limit and accounts for the 40°C/W thermal resistance. Consider the 50A surge rating for inrush current handling capabilities.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

The RB153 belongs to the RB151 through RB157 series of 1.5 Amp single-phase bridge rectifiers. This family offers varying voltage ratings from 50V to 1000V while maintaining consistent current and package characteristics. The RB-15 form factor provides a standardized footprint for PCB integration across different voltage requirements.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 1.5A, 200V bridge rectifiers in the RB-15 package. Verify pinout compatibility, forward voltage drop, and thermal resistance match before substitution. Ensure the replacement component meets the same operating temperature and surge current specifications.
