W005M

Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor W005M is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier rated for a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.5 A at an ambient temperature of 50°C. It features a maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 50 V and a maximum DC blocking voltage of 50 V. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 40 A under JEDEC testing conditions. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.0 V at 1.5 A, with a maximum DC reverse current of 10 µA at 25°C rising to 500 µA at 125°C. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• UL Recognized File # E-96005
• Surge overload ratings to 40 amperes peak
• Ideal for printed circuit board
• High temperature soldering guaranteed: 260 o C / 10 seconds / 0.375” ( 9.5mm ) lead length at 5 lbs. ( 2.3 Kg ) tension

Applications

• Printed circuit board mounting
• Single phase half wave rectification
• Resistive or inductive load applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation on official documentation, as some distributor listings may attribute this part number to other entities like Gulf Semiconductor. Confirm that the specific datasheet version matches the required electrical parameters, particularly the 50 V rating. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards if applicable to the project requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select the W005M when a low voltage drop and high surge capability are required for PCB-mounted rectification. Derate the forward current by 20% if used with capacitive loads. Consider the thermal resistance values of 36°C/W (junction to ambient) and 13°C/W (junction to lead) for heat dissipation planning on copper pads.

Part Context

The W005M belongs to the W005M through W10M series of single-phase silicon bridge rectifiers manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. This series shares common mechanical data, including a molded plastic case and solder-plated leads, while varying primarily in their voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with Vishay W10G series components for similar voltage and current ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance specifications against alternative manufacturers such as Taiwan Semiconductor or Uniohm Corp. before substitution.
