RB157-BP

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The RB157-BP is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 1000V and an average forward rectified current of 1.5A. The device utilizes a surface-mount RB-15 package with solder pad termination. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1V and a reverse leakage current of 10µA. The component supports a maximum non-repetitive peak surge current of 50A and operates within a junction temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Single-phase bridge rectification configuration
• Surface-mount installation style for automated assembly
• High thermal stability across extended temperature ranges

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC power supply conversion
• Low-power electronic circuit rectification
• Consumer electronics power input stages

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturing date code and lot traceability upon order confirmation, as this component is listed as obsolete or not recommended for new designs in some distributor catalogs. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized supplier documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact surface-mount bridge rectifier with 1000V blocking capability is required. Ensure the PCB footprint matches the RB-15 package dimensions. Verify that the thermal management design accommodates the specified operating temperature limits and power dissipation requirements under load conditions.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to MCC's RB157 series of bridge rectifiers. It shares the same electrical ratings as other variants in the series but differs in packaging and termination style. The RB-15 package distinguishes it from through-hole alternatives like the DO-201AM encapsulated versions.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible substitutes from other manufacturers offering identical 1.5A/1000V specifications in the RB-15 package. Verify mechanical dimensions and thermal characteristics match before substitution.
