Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '-13' corresponds to the tape and reel packaging configuration containing 5,000 units per reel. Confirm that the component meets the required environmental standards, specifically RoHS compliance and halogen/antimony-free status, as defined by the manufacturer's green product guidelines before finalizing procurement orders.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000V rating and 1.5A continuous current capability are required in a surface mount format. Ensure the application can accommodate the specified thermal resistance values and that the operating environment remains within the -55°C to +150°C temperature range. Verify PCB layout compatibility with the SOPA-4 package dimensions and suggested pad layout.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the UABF series of surface mount fast bridge rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. It utilizes a glass passivation technique to improve stability compared to standard plastic-passivated alternatives. The SOPA-4 package provides a compact footprint suitable for modern high-density electronic assemblies requiring efficient AC-to-DC conversion.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 1000V reverse voltage, 1.5A current rating, and SOPA-4 package type. Verify that substitute components offer comparable reverse recovery times and forward voltage characteristics to maintain circuit efficiency and thermal performance without redesigning the PCB layout.

Bridge Rectifier FAQ

What is the maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current?

The maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current is 50A for an 8.3ms single half sine-wave superimposed on rated load.

How does the forward voltage drop vary with temperature?

The forward voltage decreases as temperature increases; typical characteristics show lower voltage drops at elevated temperatures like 125°C and 150°C compared to room temperature.

What is the typical total capacitance per element?

The typical total capacitance per element is 17 pF, measured at 1.0MHz and an applied reverse voltage of 4.0V DC.
