Sensitron Semiconductor 1.0A Bridge Rectifier Datasheet

Category: Diodes, Electronics, Sensitron Semiconductor

Overview

The datasheet documentation pertains to Sensitron Semiconductor’s line of 1.0A bridge rectifiers, featuring part numbers ranging from B4OC1000-G to BSOOC1000-G, which are designed for low forward voltage drop, high current capability, and high reliability. The bridge rectifiers are ideal for printed circuit boards and are compliant with the RoHS Directive for green products.

Mechanical Specifications

The mechanical description of the device includes a molded plastic case, terminals that are plated for solderability in accordance with MIL-STD-202, Method 208, and a polarity marked on the body of the component. Each unit weighs approximately 1.1 grams and is marked with the type number for identification.

Electrical Characteristics

Electrical parameters for the bridge rectifiers are specified at an ambient temperature of 25°C, with the operation suitable for a single phase, half-wave 60Hz input, with resistive or inductive loads. Capacitive load handling requires derating the current by 20%. Each rectifier variant (B4OC, B8OC, B125C, B250C, B380C, BSOOC) has specified maximum ratings with peak repetitive reverse voltage ranging from 100V to 1200V, DC blocking voltage ranging from 40V RMS to 500V RMS, average rectified output current of 1.0A at 50°C, forward surge current capability of 45A, and a forward voltage drop per element at 1.0V when conducting 1.0A. Peak reverse current at rated DC blocking voltage is also detailed, ranging from 10µA at 25°C to 500µA at 100°C. Operating and storage temperature ranges are specified from -55°C to +125°C and -55°C to +150°C, respectively.

Additional Information

The datasheet notes that the leads should be maintained at ambient temperature at a distance of 9.5mm from the case during operation.
