DB152-BP Bridge Rectifier Single Phase 100V 1.5A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DB152-BP is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, designed for through-hole mounting applications requiring 100V peak reverse voltage and 1.5A average rectified current. This component operates across a wide temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and features a 4-EDIP package configuration.

The DB152-BP carries a "Not For New Designs" product status, indicating that this part is no longer recommended for new circuit development. This status necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product support and compliance certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DB152-BP is determined by strict parametric matching across the following critical specifications:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Voltage - Peak Reverse (Max): 100 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 1.5 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.1 V @ 1.5 A
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 150°C (TJ)
• Diode Type: Single Phase
• Technology: Standard

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: 4-EDIP (0.321", 8.15mm)

The DB152G manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor satisfies all mandatory parametric requirements for direct substitution. While the DB152G exhibits lower reverse leakage current (5 µA @ 100 V compared to 10 µA @ 100 V), this represents an improvement in performance characteristics and does not preclude substitution. The DB152G maintains identical voltage, current, temperature, and package specifications, enabling pin-for-pin replacement in existing circuit designs.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs: The DB152G is the appropriate selection for new circuit development. This part carries Active product status and RoHS Compliant certification, ensuring long-term availability and compliance with current environmental regulations. The DB152G also provides Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating minimal handling restrictions during assembly and storage.

For Existing Designs Using DB152-BP: Direct substitution with DB152G is permissible without circuit modification. The parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications ensures functional compatibility. The improved reverse leakage characteristic (5 µA versus 10 µA) presents no adverse effects on circuit operation.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0080) classifications. The DB152G provides additional RoHS compliance documentation, which may be required for certain end-use applications or regional markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DB152G replace DB152-BP in existing circuit boards?

A: Yes. The DB152G provides parametric equivalence across all critical specifications: 100V peak reverse voltage, 1.5A average rectified current, 1.1V forward voltage drop, and identical 4-EDIP through-hole package. Pin-for-pin replacement is supported without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the significance of the lower reverse leakage current in DB152G?

A: The DB152G exhibits 5 µA reverse leakage at 100V compared to 10 µA in the DB152-BP. This represents improved device performance and does not create compatibility issues. Lower leakage current may reduce standby power consumption in certain applications.

Q: Why is DB152-BP marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates that Micro Commercial Co has discontinued active development and support for this part number. New circuit designs should utilize the DB152G, which carries Active product status and ensures ongoing availability and technical support.

Q: Are there package or mounting differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts utilize identical 4-EDIP (0.321", 8.15mm) through-hole packaging. PCB footprints, lead spacing, and mounting procedures are identical.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to DB152G?

A: The DB152G is RoHS Compliant and carries MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Both parts share EAR99 export classification and 8541.10.0080 HTSUS code.

Q: Can DB152-BP be used in new designs if inventory is available?

A: While DB152-BP inventory may be available, the "Not For New Designs" status indicates that this part should not be selected for new circuit development. The DB152G provides equivalent functionality with active manufacturer support and compliance certifications appropriate for current production standards.
