PB62 Bridge Rectifier Single Phase 200V 6A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PB62 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, rated for 200 V peak reverse voltage and 6 A average rectified current in a PB-6 through-hole package. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts maintain the same current rating, package form factor, and core rectification functionality while offering alternative voltage ratings and updated product status classifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PB62 are qualified based on the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

Current - Average Rectified (Io): 6 A (all substitutes)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (all substitutes)
Package / Case: 4-Square, PB-6 (all substitutes)
Diode Type: Single Phase (all substitutes)
Technology: Standard (all substitutes)
Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.1 V @ 3 A (all substitutes)
Current - Reverse Leakage: 10 µA (all substitutes)

Variable Parameter:

Voltage - Peak Reverse (Max): Ranges from 50 V to 1 kV across substitute options

Substitutes are organized by voltage rating. The PB62 operates at 200 V peak reverse voltage. Equivalent parts at the same 200 V rating are direct replacements. Parts with higher voltage ratings (400 V, 600 V, 800 V, 1 kV) provide overvoltage margin and are suitable for applications where the circuit voltage does not exceed the substitute part's rating. Parts with lower voltage ratings (50 V, 100 V) are suitable only for applications with correspondingly lower circuit voltages.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Same Voltage Rating): PB62-BP from Micro Commercial Co is the direct functional equivalent at 200 V peak reverse voltage. This part maintains identical electrical specifications and package form factor. However, PB62-BP is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it is being phased out.

Active Production Alternatives: For new designs and ongoing production requiring 200 V operation, PB610-BP (1 kV rating) and PB66-BP (600 V rating) are classified as Active. These parts provide voltage margin above the 200 V requirement and are suitable for 200 V applications. PB68-BP (800 V rating) is also Active and provides similar overvoltage capability.

Temperature Operating Range Consideration: The original PB62 operates from -65°C to 150°C. All substitute parts operate from -55°C to 150°C, representing a narrower low-temperature range. Applications requiring operation below -55°C are not compatible with the substitute parts listed.

Compliance and Certifications: All parts listed are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. PB62-BP, PB610-BP, PB66-BP, and PB68-BP are REACH Unaffected. PB605-BP and PB61-BP are REACH Affected. All parts carry ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8541.10.0080 classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PB62-BP be used as a direct replacement for PB62? A: Yes. PB62-BP is electrically and mechanically equivalent, with identical voltage and current ratings. Both are rated for 200 V peak reverse voltage and 6 A average rectified current in the PB-6 package. The primary difference is product status: PB62 is obsolete while PB62-BP is classified as "Not For New Designs."

Q: What is the difference between PB62 and PB610-BP? A: The primary difference is voltage rating. PB62 is rated for 200 V peak reverse voltage, while PB610-BP is rated for 1 kV. Both carry 6 A current rating and use the same PB-6 package. PB610-BP can be used in 200 V applications as it provides overvoltage margin. PB610-BP is Active, making it suitable for new designs.

Q: Can lower voltage-rated parts like PB605-BP or PB61-BP substitute for PB62? A: No. PB605-BP (50 V) and PB61-BP (100 V) have lower voltage ratings than the PB62 (200 V). These parts are suitable only for applications with circuit voltages not exceeding their respective ratings. Using an undersized voltage-rated rectifier in a 200 V circuit will result in device failure.

Q: Are all substitute parts in the same PB-6 package? A: Yes. All substitute parts use the 4-Square, PB-6 through-hole package, ensuring mechanical compatibility and direct board-level substitution without layout changes.

Q: What is the temperature operating range difference? A: PB62 operates from -65°C to 150°C. All substitute parts operate from -55°C to 150°C. Applications requiring operation below -55°C are not compatible with the substitute parts. Applications within the -55°C to 150°C range are fully compatible.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs? A: PB610-BP (1 kV, Active) or PB66-BP (600 V, Active) or PB68-BP (800 V, Active) are recommended for new designs, as they carry Active product status. Selection between these three depends on the required voltage margin for the specific application circuit.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. All parts listed are ROHS3 compliant. Moisture sensitivity level is MSL 1 (Unlimited) for all parts, indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.
