RDBF36-13

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The RDBF36-13 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, designed for surface-mount applications. It utilizes silicon technology and features a DBF-4 package with solder pad termination. The device supports a forward current of 3 A and offers a peak reverse voltage rating of 600 V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.3 V at rated current and a low reverse leakage current of 5 uA. It withstands a surge current of 100 A and operates within a temperature range of -55 C to +150 C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Integrated single-phase bridge configuration in a compact surface-mount footprint
• High thermal stability suitable for elevated operating environments
• Low forward voltage drop for improved power efficiency
• Robust surge current handling capability

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General-purpose AC-to-DC conversion circuits
• Power supply input stages
• Battery charging systems

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and compliance documentation prior to procurement. Confirm that the DBF-4 package dimensions align with the target PCB layout. Ensure that the 3 A continuous current rating meets the design requirements under expected ambient temperature conditions. Check for any recent product change notifications regarding manufacturing processes or materials.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface-mount bridge rectifier is required for 600 V applications. Compare the 1.3 V forward voltage against alternative packages to assess thermal performance. Consider the 150 C maximum junction temperature for high-heat environments. Evaluate the 100 A surge rating against potential inrush currents in the specific circuit design.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to Diodes Incorporated's line of surface-mount bridge rectifiers. It shares the DBF-4 package form factor with other variants in the series but differs in voltage and current ratings. The '13' suffix typically indicates tape and reel packaging. It serves as a direct replacement for through-hole bridges where board space is limited.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source data. Verify compatibility with existing designs by matching package dimensions, pinout configuration, and electrical ratings such as Vrrm and If.
