MBS2HRCG Bridge Rectifier Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MBS2HRCG is a single-phase bridge rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, designed for surface mount applications. This component operates at a peak reverse voltage of 200 V with an average rectified current of 500 mA, making it suitable for standard rectification circuits in automotive and industrial applications. The part is currently active in production and maintains AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility to ensure functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MBS2HRCG is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Performance: Peak reverse voltage of 200 V, average rectified current of 500 mA, forward voltage of 1 V @ 400 mA, and reverse leakage current of 5 µA @ 200 V
• Thermal Characteristics: Operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C (junction temperature)
• Mechanical Compatibility: Surface mount technology with 4-BESOP package configuration (0.173", 4.40mm width)
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating of 1

The substitute part MBS2 maintains identical electrical specifications and package dimensions, with the primary distinction being packaging format (Tape & Reel versus individual packaging). Both parts are manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation and share the same base product number designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MBS2 serves as a direct parametric equivalent to the MBS2HRCG. Both parts are active products manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation with identical electrical performance specifications and mechanical package dimensions. Selection between these parts is determined by procurement and assembly requirements rather than functional capability.

The MBS2HRCG is suitable for applications requiring individual component packaging, while the MBS2 in Tape & Reel format is appropriate for high-volume automated assembly processes. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and AEC-Q101 automotive qualification status, ensuring regulatory and quality standards are met across applications.

The identical electrical parameters—including 200 V peak reverse voltage, 500 mA average rectified current, 1 V forward voltage at 400 mA, and 5 µA reverse leakage current at 200 V—confirm functional interchangeability in circuit design. Operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C (junction temperature) and MSL rating of 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity) provide consistent performance across environmental conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBS2 replace MBS2HRCG in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MBS2 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, operating temperature range, and package dimensions. The only difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus individual packaging). Circuit performance and PCB layout compatibility remain unchanged.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: peak reverse voltage (200 V), average rectified current (500 mA), forward voltage (1 V @ 400 mA), reverse leakage current (5 µA @ 200 V), operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C), and package type (4-BESOP surface mount). All these parameters are identical between MBS2HRCG and MBS2.

Q: Does packaging format affect circuit functionality?

A: No. Packaging format (individual versus Tape & Reel) affects procurement and assembly processes but does not alter electrical performance or PCB footprint. Both formats use the same 4-BESOP package with 0.173" (4.40mm) width.

Q: Are both parts automotive qualified?

A: The MBS2HRCG carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. The MBS2 specification provided does not explicitly list automotive qualification status. Verify automotive qualification requirements with the manufacturer if this certification is mandatory for your application.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both MBS2HRCG and MBS2 have an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both MBS2HRCG and MBS2 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for lead-free manufacturing.
