W10G-E4/51

Overview

The W10G-E4/51 is a single-phase bridge rectifier from the Vishay W10G series, designed for general-purpose power supply applications. It features a peak repetitive 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. Electrical characteristics include a maximum peak forward voltage drop (Vf) of 1 V at rated current and a peak reverse leakage current (Ir) of 5 μA. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and utilizes a WOG through-hole package with four pins.

Feature Summary

• High voltage capability with 1000 V reverse blocking rating
• Robust surge handling with 50 A non-repetitive peak forward current support
• Wide operating temperature range suitable for demanding environments

Applications

• General-purpose AC-DC conversion in power supplies
• Bridge rectification in low-to-medium current electronic circuits
• Industrial control equipment requiring high voltage isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct electrical parameters and packaging configuration. Confirm that the E4 designation aligns with required environmental compliance standards for the target application before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V reverse voltage rating and 1.5 A continuous forward current are required in a through-hole configuration. Ensure the circuit design accounts for the specified 1 V forward voltage drop and thermal dissipation limits within the -55°C to +150°C operating range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay W10G series of single-phase bridge rectifiers. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling capabilities. The W10G-E4/51 specifically denotes the 1000 V variant within this family, utilizing standard epoxy encapsulation for mechanical stability.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay W10G variants or equivalent industry-standard bridge rectifiers offering identical 1000 V / 1.5 A specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions (WOG) to ensure direct replacement feasibility without PCB redesign.
