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

Part Overview

The PB62 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, rated for 200V peak reverse voltage and 6A average rectified current. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing maintenance, repair, and legacy system support. The PB62 operates across a wide temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and is housed in a 4-Square PB-6 through-hole package.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PB62 is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish valid substitutes:

• Diode Type: Single Phase (identical)
• Technology: Standard (identical)
• Voltage - Peak Reverse (Max): 200 V (identical)
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 6 A (identical)
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.1 V @ 3 A (identical)
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 10 µA @ 200 V (identical)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 150°C (TJ) (identical)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (identical)
• Package / Case: 4-Square, PB-6 (identical)

The PB62-BP meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria and is therefore a valid substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PB62-BP is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the PB62 across all specified parameters. The primary distinction is compliance status: the PB62-BP is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the PB62 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the PB62-BP is the appropriate selection. Both parts share identical electrical characteristics, thermal operating range, and physical package configuration, ensuring direct functional interchangeability in through-hole circuit board applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PB62-BP directly replace the PB62 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The PB62-BP is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the PB62. Both components have identical voltage ratings (200V peak reverse), current ratings (6A average rectified), forward voltage characteristics (1.1V @ 3A), reverse leakage (10µA @ 200V), operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C), and 4-Square PB-6 through-hole package configuration.

Q: What is the difference between PB62 and PB62-BP?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and regulatory compliance. The PB62 is supplied in standard packaging and is RoHS non-compliant. The PB62-BP is supplied in bulk packaging and is ROHS3 compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the PB62 and PB62-BP use the identical 4-Square PB-6 through-hole package with the same physical dimensions and pin configuration.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The PB62-BP is designated as "Not For New Designs," and the PB62 is designated as "Obsolete." For new designs requiring a single-phase bridge rectifier with 200V/6A specifications, alternative current-production components should be evaluated.

Q: Is the PB62-BP suitable for RoHS-regulated applications?

A: Yes. The PB62-BP is ROHS3 compliant and is suitable for applications subject to RoHS directives.
