15-A Bridge rectifiers feature 1 kV peak reverse voltage, 600-A surge current ratings
The GBU150x family of standard bridge rectifiers are GBU-packaged, 15 A-rated rectifiers available with peak repetitive reverse voltage ratings (VRRM ) from 600 V to 1,000 V and 1.0 msec peak forward surge current (IFSM ) of 600 A. The highest rated (1 kV) device, offered at the same price in production quantities as the […]
1-kV bridge rectifiers handle up to 4 A
Taiwan Semiconductor announces the availability of the RxBS Family of glass passivated 1000V bridge rectifiers. Offered with current ratings of 2A, 3A, and 4A, these miniature surface-mount devices simplify compliance with global EMC requirements while lowering component count. The devices’ UL recognition can also aid in attaining safety certification for the end product. The RxBS […]
AEC-Q101-approved SiGe rectifiers combine high efficiency, thermal stability and space-savings
Nexperia has announced a range of new silicon germanium (SiGe) rectifiers with 120 V, 150 V, and 200 V reverse voltages that combine the high efficiency of their Schottky counterparts with the thermal stability of fast recovery diodes. Targeting automotive, communications infrastructure and server markets, the new 1-3 A SiGe rectifiers are of particular benefit […]
