RB152-BP Bridge Rectifier Single Phase 100V 1.5A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RB152-BP is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, rated for 100V peak reverse voltage and 1.5A average rectified current. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The RB152-BP operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and is housed in a 4-Circular RB-15 through-hole package. Identifying compatible alternatives ensures design continuity and supply chain reliability for applications requiring single-phase rectification at these electrical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RB152-BP is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Voltage Rating: Peak reverse voltage must be 100V or greater
• Current Rating: Average rectified current must be 1.5A or greater
• Diode Configuration: Single-phase bridge rectifier topology
• Technology: Standard rectifier technology
• Mounting: Through-hole package type
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The W01G-E4/51 meets all substitution criteria. Both components share identical voltage and current ratings, employ standard single-phase bridge rectifier technology, utilize through-hole mounting, and maintain equivalent regulatory compliance. The W01G-E4/51 features an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C) and lower reverse leakage current (5 µA @ 100V), providing enhanced performance margins.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The W01G-E4/51 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete RB152-BP. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment across applications. The W01G-E4/51 carries active product status from Vishay General Semiconductor, providing long-term supply availability and technical support. The extended operating temperature range of the W01G-E4/51 (-55°C to 150°C versus -55°C to 125°C) and reduced reverse leakage current (5 µA versus 10 µA at 100V) represent performance improvements suitable for demanding thermal environments. Both components are through-hole mounted with identical electrical ratings, supporting direct functional replacement in existing circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the W01G-E4/51 directly replace the RB152-BP in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical voltage ratings (100V peak reverse), current ratings (1.5A average rectified), and single-phase bridge rectifier topology. Through-hole mounting compatibility supports direct PCB substitution.

Q: What are the package differences between RB152-BP and W01G-E4/51?

A: Both use 4-Circular through-hole packages. The RB152-BP employs the RB-15 package variant, while the W01G-E4/51 uses the WOG package variant. Physical dimensions and pin configurations remain compatible for standard through-hole PCB layouts.

Q: Does the W01G-E4/51 offer performance advantages over the RB152-BP?

A: The W01G-E4/51 provides an extended operating temperature range (150°C maximum junction temperature versus 125°C) and lower reverse leakage current (5 µA versus 10 µA at 100V). These characteristics support operation in higher-temperature applications with improved leakage performance.

Q: Are both components compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the RB152-BP and W01G-E4/51 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance regulations.

Q: Why is the RB152-BP classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The W01G-E4/51 from Vishay General Semiconductor provides an active, supported alternative with equivalent electrical specifications.
