RBV1004

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The RBV1004 is a silicon bridge rectifier from the RBV1000 series, rated for a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and a maximum average forward current of 10 A at a case temperature of 55°C. It features a peak forward surge current capability of 300 A (single half-sine wave) and a typical thermal resistance of 2.5 °C/W. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.0 V at 5.0 A and low reverse leakage currents of 10 μA at 25°C and 200 μA at 100°C. Operating junction temperatures range from -40°C to +150°C.

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by checking manufacturer markings against official datasheet specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in product documentation. Ensure ordering suffixes match required packaging or material variations. Validate electrical parameters against application requirements before procurement.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select the RBV1004 when a 400 V reverse voltage rating and 10 A continuous forward current are required. Consider the 2.5 °C/W thermal resistance for heatsinking calculations. Evaluate derating curves for operation above 55°C case temperature. Compare surge current ratings against inrush conditions in the target circuit design.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

The RBV1004 belongs to the RBV1000-RBV1010 family of silicon bridge rectifiers manufactured by EIC Semiconductor Inc. This series offers varying reverse voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 10 A forward current capacity. The components utilize molded plastic construction with UL94V-0 flame retardant epoxy.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 400 V reverse voltage, 10 A forward current, and through-hole package dimensions. Verify equivalent thermal resistance and surge current ratings. Cross-reference pinout configurations to ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts.
