MP502W Bridge Rectifier Single Phase 200V 50A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MP502W is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, rated for 200V peak reverse voltage and 50A average rectified current. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing maintenance, repair, and legacy system support. The MP502W operates across a temperature range of -50°C to 150°C and is housed in a 4-Square MP-50W through-hole package.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MP502W is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The critical parameters for substitution are:

• Diode Type: Single Phase
• Voltage - Peak Reverse (Max): 200 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 50 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.2 V @ 25 A
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 10 µA @ 200 V
• Operating Temperature Range: -50°C ~ 150°C (TJ)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: 4-Square, MP-50W

The MP502W-BP meets all electrical specifications and maintains identical mechanical compatibility through the same through-hole package configuration. The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format and product status classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MP502W-BP is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the MP502W across all specified parameters. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance characteristics and through-hole package compatibility.

The MP502W-BP carries ROHS3 compliance status, whereas the MP502W is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements, the MP502W-BP provides compliance alignment. The MP502W-BP is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating limited future availability; however, it remains suitable for replacement and maintenance applications where the MP502W is currently deployed.

Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements and packaging format availability. Both parts are functionally interchangeable within the specified electrical and thermal operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MP502W-BP directly replace MP502W in existing circuits?

A: Yes. The MP502W-BP is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (200V peak reverse voltage, 50A average rectified current, 1.2V forward voltage at 25A, 10µA reverse leakage at 200V) and the same 4-Square MP-50W through-hole package configuration. Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between MP502W and MP502W-BP?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (standard versus bulk) and compliance status. The MP502W-BP is ROHS3 compliant, while the MP502W is RoHS non-compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any temperature or thermal considerations when substituting these parts?

A: Both parts operate across the same temperature range: -50°C to 150°C (TJ). No thermal performance differences exist between the two parts.

Q: Why is the MP502W classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete classification indicates the part is no longer in active production. The MP502W-BP, classified as "Not For New Designs," represents the current equivalent offering from the manufacturer.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in new designs?

A: The MP502W-BP is classified as "Not For New Designs." For new design applications, consultation with the manufacturer regarding current production alternatives is recommended.
