RB153-BP Bridge Rectifier Single Phase 200V 1.5A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RB153-BP is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, rated for 200V peak reverse voltage and 1.5A average rectified current. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The RB153-BP features through-hole mounting in a 4-Circular RB-15 package and operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RB153-BP is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Peak Reverse (Max): Must equal or exceed 200 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): Must equal or exceed 1.5 A
• Diode Type: Must be Single Phase
• Technology: Must be Standard
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
• Package / Case: Must be compatible with 4-Circular configuration

The W02G-E4/51 meets all substitution criteria. Both components share identical voltage and current ratings, single-phase topology, standard technology classification, and through-hole mounting. Package compatibility is maintained through equivalent 4-Circular form factors (RB-15 and WOG respectively).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The W02G-E4/51 is a direct functional equivalent to the RB153-BP for applications requiring single-phase bridge rectification at 200V and 1.5A ratings. Selection of the W02G-E4/51 is supported by:

• Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Identical electrical performance across all critical parameters (voltage, current, diode type, technology)
• Superior reverse leakage characteristics (5 µA versus 10 µA at 200V)
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C versus -55°C to 125°C)
• Equivalent through-hole mounting and 4-Circular package configuration
• ROHS3 compliance matching the original component

The W02G-E4/51 presents no functional or compliance disadvantages relative to the RB153-BP and offers improved performance margins in leakage current and thermal operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the W02G-E4/51 directly replace the RB153-BP in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical voltage ratings (200V peak reverse), current ratings (1.5A average rectified), diode topology (single phase), and mounting method (through hole). The 4-Circular package configuration is compatible between RB-15 and WOG form factors.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The W02G-E4/51 offers lower reverse leakage current (5 µA versus 10 µA at 200V) and an extended operating temperature range (150°C maximum versus 125°C maximum). The RB153-BP is obsolete while the W02G-E4/51 maintains active product status.

Q: Are there any thermal considerations when substituting?

A: The W02G-E4/51 supports operation to 150°C junction temperature, compared to 125°C for the RB153-BP. This provides additional thermal margin in applications approaching the RB153-BP's temperature limit. No derating is required for equivalent thermal performance.

Q: Do package dimensions differ between RB-15 and WOG configurations?

A: Both use 4-Circular through-hole packages. Physical compatibility should be verified against specific PCB footprint requirements, as minor dimensional variations may exist between RB-15 and WOG package specifications.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RB153-BP and W02G-E4/51 are ROHS3 compliant, maintaining equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.
