W005G/1

Overview

The W005G/1 is a glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a WOG through-hole package with four pins, designed for printed circuit board mounting. The device supports an average forward current of 1.5 A and offers a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 50 V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50 A, a typical reverse leakage current below 0.5 μA, and a peak forward voltage of 1 V at 2.0 A. It operates within a junction temperature range up to 150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides long-term stability and protects against mechanical stress.
• High case dielectric strength ensures reliable operation under demanding conditions.
• UL recognition (file number E54214) confirms compliance with safety standards.

Applications

• Printed circuit board power supply circuits
• General-purpose AC to DC conversion
• Low-voltage rectification in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm lead-free status and packaging configuration. Ensure the component matches the required voltage and current ratings for the target application. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with official datasheets to avoid counterfeit products. Confirm RoHS compliance if environmental regulations apply to the assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, general-purpose bridge rectifier is needed for currents up to 1.5 A. The 50 V rating suits applications with low input voltages. Consider the WOG package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Verify thermal management requirements as the device relies on board conduction for heat dissipation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the W005G series of glass-passivated bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings, such as 100 V, 200 V, and 400 V, while maintaining similar current and package characteristics. The '1' suffix typically denotes a specific tape-and-reel or bulk packaging option rather than a functional change.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay W005G variants with identical current ratings but different voltage capabilities, provided the system voltage remains within limits. Generic equivalents from other manufacturers must match the 1.5 A current, 50 V reverse voltage, and WOG package footprint.
