SCAJ2

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The SCAJ2 is a single-phase standard recovery full-wave bridge rectifier manufactured by Semtech Corporation. It features a silicon construction with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and an average forward output current rating of 85 A. The device utilizes a chassis mount flange package configuration with three terminals, where the case connection serves as the cathode. Key electrical parameters include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 900 A and a maximum forward voltage drop of 1 V. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to 150 °C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Single-phase full-wave bridge rectification architecture
• Chassis mount flange package for high-power thermal management
• Case-connected cathode design for simplified grounding
• Standard silicon recovery characteristics

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General purpose power supply circuits
• Industrial equipment power conversion
• High-current DC power distribution systems

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and manufacturer documentation prior to procurement, as historical records indicate potential discrepancies in current ratings between different sources. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free availability directly with the supplier or authorized distributor, as legacy components may have varying environmental certification levels depending on production batch and date code.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, chassis-mountable bridge rectifier is required for applications demanding high surge current handling capabilities. Ensure the thermal design accommodates the flange mount interface and that the system voltage does not exceed the 200 V reverse voltage limit. Consider the physical dimensions of the G27A package for PCB or chassis layout constraints.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

The SCAJ2 belongs to the SCAJ series of standard recovery bridge rectifiers produced by Semtech Corporation. This series includes variants such as the SCAJ4 and SCAJ6, which share similar architectural designs but differ in voltage and current specifications. These components are designed for general-purpose rectification tasks in industrial and commercial electronics requiring reliable performance under high load conditions.
