RH02-T

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The RH02-T is a single-phase surface-mount standard recovery bridge rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features glass passivated die construction and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. The device provides an average forward rectified current (Io) of 0.5 A at +40°C ambient temperature, with a non-repetitive peak forward surge current (Ifsm) rating of 30 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave. The maximum repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) is 200 V, while the maximum instantaneous voltage drop (VF) is 1.15 V at 0.4 A. Peak reverse current (IR) is limited to 5 µA at rated DC blocking voltage and 25°C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction ensures reliable operation under various environmental conditions.
• Miniature MiniDIP package design optimizes printed circuit board space utilization.
• Surge overload capability supports high transient current loads up to 30 A peak.
• RoHS compliant lead-free finish facilitates automated assembly processes.

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General purpose AC-to-DC conversion in compact electronic devices
• Power supply circuits requiring small form factor bridge rectification
• Automotive electronics applications meeting specific change control requirements

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix matches the required packing quantity and carrier type. Confirm that the component meets RoHS 3 directives and UL recognition standards for your specific region. Ensure compatibility with automated assembly equipment due to the MiniDIP package style. Check for any automotive qualification requirements if deploying in IATF 16949 certified facilities.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile surface-mount bridge rectifier is needed for currents up to 0.5 A. Consider the 200 V reverse voltage rating for low-voltage AC applications. Evaluate the thermal resistance of 85 °C/W against your PCB layout constraints. Verify that the 150 ns maximum reverse recovery time suits your frequency requirements.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the RH02-RH06 series of surface-mount bridge rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. The series offers varying reverse voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling capabilities. The RH02 variant specifically targets applications requiring 200 V blocking voltage. All variants share identical physical dimensions and electrical characteristics except for voltage ratings.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the MiniDIP package, 0.5 A current rating, and 200 V reverse voltage. Verify that substitute components offer comparable forward voltage drop and reverse recovery times. Ensure alternative parts maintain RoHS compliance and similar thermal resistance values for direct footprint compatibility.
