W10G/1

Overview

The Vishay W10G/1 is a single-phase bridge rectifier from the W10G series, utilizing glass passivation for junction protection. It features a WOG through-hole package with four pins. Key electrical parameters include a repetitive peak reverse voltage (Vrrm) of 1000 V and an average forward current (If) of 1.5 A. The device supports a peak non-repetitive forward surge current (Ifsm) of 50 A. Forward voltage drop (Vf) is typically 1 V at If = 2.0 A, with peak reverse current (Ir) at 5 μA. Operating temperature range spans from -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction provides high reliability and stability under varying thermal conditions.
• High case dielectric strength ensures robust performance in demanding electrical environments.
• Capable of withstanding high surge currents, suitable for applications requiring transient overload protection.

Applications

• Printed circuit board mounting for general-purpose power supply circuits.
• AC to DC conversion stages in low-to-medium power electronic devices.
• Battery charging systems requiring reliable rectification.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Vishay documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and packaging variations. Ensure the component meets required environmental standards for the target application. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm parameter consistency before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V rating and 1.5 A continuous current are required in a compact through-hole format. Consider the WOG package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 150°C maximum junction temperature limit and expected ambient operating conditions.

Part Context

The W10G/1 belongs to Vishay's W10G series of glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifiers. This series is designed for general-purpose applications where space-saving and high reliability are priorities. The WOG package style facilitates easy mounting on printed circuit boards while maintaining adequate heat dissipation capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Vishay family include variants with different voltage ratings such as W1M or W1K, provided the reverse voltage requirements align. Other manufacturers offering similar 1.5 A, 1000 V bridge rectifiers in WOG packages may be considered if pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics match.
