SBMC4

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The SBMC4 is a single-phase standard recovery silicon bridge rectifier manufactured by Semtech Corporation. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and an average forward rectified current rating of 1.5 A. The device is housed in a 4-SIP through-hole package, designed for reliable operation in general-purpose power supply applications requiring efficient AC to DC conversion with standard recovery characteristics.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Single-phase full-wave bridge rectification architecture
• Standard recovery silicon junction technology
• Through-hole SIP package configuration

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General purpose AC to DC power supplies
• Adapter circuits
• Low power electronic equipment

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from Semtech or authorized distributors to confirm pinout compatibility and thermal specifications. Ensure the procurement channel provides original components with traceable manufacturing lot codes. Cross-reference the 4-SIP package dimensions against the target PCB footprint to guarantee mechanical fit before finalizing orders.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 400 V reverse voltage rating and 1.5 A continuous current capacity are required for single-phase rectification. The standard recovery characteristic suits lower frequency applications where ultra-fast switching is unnecessary. Consider the 4-SIP form factor for prototyping or designs utilizing through-hole assembly processes rather than surface mount constraints.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to Semtech's discrete diode portfolio, specifically within the bridge rectifier category. It complements other series like SCBAR and SBR by offering a standardized solution for moderate current and voltage levels. The product line supports various industrial and consumer electronics applications requiring robust AC input conditioning.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the SBR4, which shares similar electrical ratings and package type. Verify that alternative bridge rectifiers maintain the 400 V reverse voltage and 1.5 A current specifications while matching the 4-SIP physical dimensions for seamless integration.
