RBV800

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The RBV800 is a silicon bridge rectifier from the RBV series, rated for a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V and a maximum average forward current of 8.0 A at a case temperature of 55°C. It supports a peak forward surge current of 300 A under JEDEC testing conditions. The device features a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.0 V per diode at 4.0 A and a typical thermal resistance of 2.5 °C/W. Operating junction temperatures range from -40 to +150°C, with storage limits matching this span.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• High current capability with low reverse leakage characteristics
• Rated isolation voltage of 2000 V for enhanced safety
• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency
• Flame-retardant molded plastic construction

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• Printed circuit board mounting for power supplies
• General-purpose AC to DC conversion
• Industrial equipment requiring high reliability

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm exact electrical ratings and package variations. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards if required by the application. Confirm lead solderability specifications meet MIL-STD-202 requirements for your assembly process.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select the RBV800 when a 50 V blocking voltage is sufficient for the AC input line. Consider derating the average forward current by 20% if the load is capacitive. Evaluate the thermal resistance of 2.5 °C/W against your heatsink design to maintain junction temperatures within the specified operating range.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

The RBV800 belongs to the RBV series of silicon bridge rectifiers manufactured by EIC Semiconductor Inc. This family includes variants with reverse voltages ranging from 50 V to 1000 V, all sharing an 8.0 A average forward current rating. The series utilizes a robust molded plastic case designed for reliable performance in various industrial and commercial applications.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 8.0 A, 50 V bridge rectifiers ensuring identical pinout and thermal characteristics. Verify that substitute components meet the same UL94V-0 flame retardancy and isolation voltage ratings.
