RS603-BP

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The RS603-BP is a fast recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a single-phase, half-wave configuration with a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 300 V and an average forward rectified current of 6 A. The device utilizes a DO-201AD axial leaded package and is constructed using silicon planar technology. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak surge current of 200 A at 60 Hz and a typical reverse leakage current of 5 µA at rated DC blocking voltage. The component is designed for operation within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor before procurement. Confirm that the DO-201AD package dimensions match the target PCB footprint requirements. Ensure that the ordering suffix corresponds to the desired packaging format, as bulk quantities may differ from tape and reel configurations.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6 A current rating and 300 V reverse voltage are required for fast recovery applications. Evaluate the thermal management needs based on the specified junction temperature limits and ambient operating conditions. Compare the reverse recovery time specifications against the circuit switching frequency to ensure adequate performance margins.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the RS series of fast recovery rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series typically offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling capabilities. The RS603-BP specifically addresses applications requiring moderate voltage blocking with rapid switching characteristics.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 6 A, 300 V fast recovery diodes such as those from Vishay or ON Semiconductor. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before substitution. Ensure that the replacement device meets or exceeds the original reverse recovery time and surge current specifications.
