GBU150x Family Rectifiers

Author: EIS Release Date: Feb 15, 2021


Taiwan Semiconductor’s rectifiers' higher peak reverse voltage and surge current ratings provide increased design margins for universal input power conversion designs

Image of Taiwan Semiconductor GBU150x Family RectifiersTaiwan Semiconductor's GBU150x family of standard bridge rectifiers are GBU-packaged, 15 A rated rectifiers and are available with peak repetitive reverse voltage ratings (VRRM) from 600 V to 1000 V and 1.0 ms peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 600 A. The highest-rated (1 kV) device, offered at the same price in production quantities as the others in the family, provides added design margin that can facilitate meeting regulatory standards, such as IEC61000-4-x and IEEE C62.XX ringing waveform requirements, in a wide range of mains-connected power conversion products

Features

  • Very-high peak forward surge current: with computing everywhere and electronic lighting replacing electrical lighting, transient and surge survival is a top-of-mind consideration
  • UL-recognized file #E-326243: UL-recognized components simplify agency approvals on the customers' end products, saving time and money
  • Standard GBU-package: meets or exceeds operational specs of competitive devices, offers a drop-in upgrade for existing GBU sockets for requirements from 50 V to 1000 V, allows one part to replace many others, simplifies the number of stocked SKUs, and reduces BOM costs
  • Industry-leading 1000 V rating: added design margin for universal input supplies at no added cost
  • Global materials compliance: RoHS compliant, halogen-free (per IEC-61249-2-21)
Applications
  • Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS)
  • Battery chargers
  • Lighting power supplies
  • TVs
  • Adapters
