Product details
Overview
DF04M from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0A standard recovery bridge rectifier with 400V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.1V max forward voltage at 1.0A, and 10µA max reverse leakage at 25°C. It features glass-passivated die construction, 50A non-repetitive surge capability, and is optimized for PCB-mounted AC/DC front-end conversion in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the DF04M datasheet, DF04M pinout, DF04M application, or DF04M equivalent, this device is selected for cost-sensitive, medium-voltage rectification where thermal resistance (RθJA = 40°C/W) and UL recognition (E364304) are critical in board-level reliability validation.
Technical Context
This discrete bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a single DF-M molded plastic package with bright tin-plated leads. Its standard recovery characteristic (trr not specified but implied by "standard recovery" classification per Diodes' product family definition) supports line-frequency (50/60Hz) operation without significant switching loss concerns.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and delivers 1.0A average rectified output current at +40°C ambient. Its 10.4 A²s I²t rating ensures robustness against short-duration line surges typical in mains-connected equipment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum reverse voltage the bridge withstands continuously without breakdown; defines usable input AC voltage range (e.g., ≤280V RMS). |
| IO | 1.0 A @ +40°C - Average DC output current sustainable on standard PCB layout; derates above ambient. |
| VF Max | 1.1 V @ 1.0A - Forward drop per conducting path; determines conduction loss (1.1W at full load) and thermal design margin. |
| IR Max | 10 µA @ 25°C - Reverse leakage per half-bridge leg; impacts standby power and high-impedance sensing accuracy. |
| IFSM | 50 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Peak surge current handling; enables compatibility with NTC-less inrush designs or lightning-induced transients. |
| RθJA | 40 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on 5.0 mm² copper pad; sets minimum heatsinking requirement for continuous 1A operation. |
| Package | DF-M - Surface-mountable 4-pin molded plastic package (7.4–7.9 mm × 6.2–6.5 mm × 8.13–8.51 mm); RoHS-compliant, UL Recognized (E364304). |
Pinout & Package
DF-M package is a compact, surface-mount bridge rectifier housing four internal diodes in a single-phase full-wave configuration. Terminals are arranged as AC1, AC2, +DC, and –DC with polarity marked on case top.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | Input AC Terminal 1 | One AC input node; connects to live/phase side of transformer secondary or AC line. |
| AC2 | Input AC Terminal 2 | Second AC input node; completes full-wave bridge input path with AC1. |
| +DC | Positive DC Output | Anode of output diode pair; delivers rectified positive rail to bulk capacitor or regulator input. |
| –DC | Negative DC Output / Common Return | Cathode of output diode pair; serves as circuit ground reference and return path for DC load current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die | Enhances long-term reliability under humidity and thermal cycling; eliminates need for conformal coating in industrial environments. |
| UL Recognized Component (E364304) | Validates safety compliance for end-equipment certification (e.g., IEC 62368-1), reducing time-to-market for regulated power supplies. |
| Lead-free & RoHS 3 compliant | Meets EU Directive 2015/863/EU; enables global shipment without hazardous substance restrictions or reporting overhead. |
| 50A surge rating (8.3 ms) | Supports direct connection to unfiltered AC sources without external inrush limiters, simplifying BOM and board layout. |
Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supplies | Appliance Motor Control Boards |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 115/230V AC mains to DC bus for switch-mode power supply input stages in PLCs and motor drives. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary AC-to-DC conversion element; defines input stage efficiency, thermal footprint, and surge immunity. Use Value: 400V VRRM and 50A IFSM enable direct interface with 230VAC ±10% inputs while maintaining margin for line spikes. |
Use Scenario: Converting transformer-derived AC to DC for control logic and gate driver supplies in washing machine or HVAC fan modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Off-line rectifier feeding low-power auxiliary rails; operates at 50/60Hz with minimal EMI generation. Use Value: Low 1.1V VF reduces heat rise in confined enclosures; UL recognition satisfies appliance safety standards (IEC 60335-1). |
| LED Driver Input Stages | Legacy Equipment Power Retrofits |
Use Scenario: Rectifying AC input prior to buck or flyback controller ICs in commercial LED streetlight drivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end bridge providing stable DC bus; interfaces directly with PFC or non-PFC controllers. Use Value: 1.0A IO rating supports up to ~12W output at 85–265VAC; DF-M footprint allows drop-in replacement of legacy bridges. |
Use Scenario: Replacing obsolete bridge rectifiers in field-service repairs of medical monitors or test equipment with aging power sections. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Direct functional replacement for discontinued 1A/400V bridges; maintains identical pinout and thermal profile. Use Value: RoHS-compliant and UL-recognized status meets modern regulatory requirements without redesigning PCB layout. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU4K (ON Semiconductor) | Same 400V VRRM, 1.0A IO, but GBU package (larger, through-hole); RθJA = 35°C/W vs. DF04M's 40°C/W. | Requires PCB hole drilling and wave soldering; unsuitable for pure SMT lines. | Select when mechanical robustness or higher surge margin (60A IFSM) outweighs SMT compatibility. |
| MB6S (Vishay) | Same DF-M footprint and 400V rating, but lower IFSM (30A) and higher VF (1.2V typ); RoHS-compliant but not UL recognized. | Lacks UL file number; may require re-certification in safety-critical end equipment. | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-certified consumer applications where UL recognition is not mandated. |
Compared with GBU4K and MB6S, DF04M uniquely combines SMT-compatible DF-M packaging, UL recognition, and 50A surge rating-making it optimal for new industrial designs requiring both regulatory compliance and board-level manufacturability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for DF04M?
The DF04M has a specified junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C and a storage temperature range matching that span. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 40°C/W) means sustained 1.0A operation requires careful PCB copper area design to avoid exceeding +150°C junction under worst-case ambient conditions.
Is DF04M suitable for use in automotive applications?
DF04M is not AEC-Q101 qualified and is not intended for automotive use. Diodes explicitly states that automotive-grade parts require separate qualification (AEC-Q101), PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing-none of which apply to DF04M per its datasheet and ordering information.
Does DF04M have a specified reverse recovery time (trr)?
No, the DS21201 datasheet does not specify reverse recovery time. The device is classified as a "standard recovery" bridge rectifier, indicating trr is intentionally not optimized-typically >500 ns-and suited for 50/60Hz line-frequency applications, not high-frequency switching.
Can DF04M replace DF02M or DF06M in an existing design?
DF04M shares identical DF-M package, pinout, and thermal characteristics with DF02M (200V) and DF06M (600V), but differs in VRRM. Substitution is electrically safe only if the peak reverse voltage in the circuit remains ≤400V; using DF04M in a 600V-design risks catastrophic failure during overvoltage events.
