Product details
Overview
DF15005M from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.5A glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier with 50V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.1V forward voltage at 1.5A, and 50A non-repetitive surge capability - used in AC/DC power supplies for industrial control panels requiring compact PCB-mount rectification.
For engineers reviewing the DF15005M datasheet, DF15005M pinout, DF15005M application, or DF15005M equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM rating, thermal resistance (40°C/W), IFSM surge margin, RoHS-compliant tin-terminated leads, and DF-M package compatibility with standard 13×13 mm copper land patterns.
Technical Context
This bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a single DF-M molded plastic case with glass passivation for enhanced reliability under thermal cycling and humidity exposure. It operates across –65°C to +150°C and delivers full-rated 1.5A average output current only when ambient temperature is ≤40°C, derating linearly beyond that per Figure 1.
The device exhibits 25 pF typical junction capacitance at 1 MHz and 4 V reverse bias, supporting stable performance in low-noise 50/60 Hz line-frequency applications. Its 10.4 A²s I²t fusing rating defines safe single-pulse surge withstand capability under 8.3 ms half-sine conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum peak reverse voltage each diode can block without breakdown; sets upper limit for AC input voltage selection. |
| IO @ TA=40°C | 1.5 A - Continuous DC output current achievable with 13×13 mm PCB copper area; requires thermal derating above 40°C ambient. |
| VFM @ IF=1.5A | 1.1 V - Forward voltage drop per diode pair in conduction; determines ~2.2 V total bridge conduction loss at full load. |
| IFSM | 50 A - Single 8.3 ms half-sine surge current tolerance; supports inrush limiting in transformer-coupled supplies. |
| RθJA | 40 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard PCB layout; enables thermal design using ΔT = RθJA × Pdiss. |
| IRM @ 25°C | 10 µA - Peak reverse leakage per element at rated DC blocking voltage; ensures minimal standby power loss. |
| CT @ 1 MHz | 25 pF - Total junction capacitance per diode; impacts high-frequency noise coupling and EMI filter design. |
Pinout & Package
DF15005M uses the DF-M surface-mount-compatible molded plastic package (7.4–7.9 mm × 6.2–6.5 mm × 3.81–4.69 mm height), UL 94V-0 rated, with tin-plated terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208. Polarity marked on case per industry-standard bridge orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | Input AC terminal 1 | One of two alternating-current input connections; tied internally to anode of D1 and cathode of D2. |
| AC2 | Input AC terminal 2 | Second AC input connection; tied internally to cathode of D1 and anode of D2 - forms full-wave input node pair. |
| + (Anode) | Positive DC output | Common cathode node of D1 and D3; delivers rectified positive output to filter capacitor or regulator input. |
| – (Cathode) | Negative DC output / GND reference | Common anode node of D2 and D4; serves as return path and system ground reference for downstream circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die construction | Enables operation up to +150°C junction temperature and improves long-term stability under humid environments. |
| UL Recognized Component (E94661) | Validates safety compliance for end-equipment certification in industrial and commercial AC/DC power systems. |
| Lead-free, RoHS-compliant finish (Date Code 0532+) | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements; eliminates lead contamination risk in automated assembly and recycling. |
| 50A IFSM surge rating | Supports reliable startup into capacitive loads or transformer inrush without parametric shift or failure. |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | Permits unlimited floor life before reflow; no baking required prior to PCB assembly. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU4A | Same 1.5A/50V rating but TO-220AB package; higher RθJA (30°C/W) due to metal tab heatsinking. | Requires mechanical mounting and heatsink; unsuitable for dense SMT layouts. | Select when board-level thermal management is impractical and chassis-mounting is available. |
| DF005M | Same DF-M package but lower 50V VRRM and 1.0A IO rating; identical pinout and footprint. | Limited to <12 VAC inputs; not suitable for 24 VAC industrial lines. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-voltage consumer applications where surge margin is non-critical. |
Compared with GBU4A and DF005M, DF15005M uniquely balances SMT manufacturability, 50A surge headroom, and 40°C/W thermal performance in a UL-recognized, RoHS-compliant DF-M package - making it optimal for space-constrained industrial power supplies where reworkability and regulatory alignment matter.

FAQ
Is DF15005M suitable for use in automotive applications?
No. DF15005M is not AEC-Q101 qualified and lacks automotive-grade screening, temperature cycling validation, or PPAP documentation. Its –65°C to +150°C operating range does not equate to automotive qualification; use only in industrial, commercial, or consumer equipment per Diodes' published specifications.
What is the minimum recommended PCB copper area for thermal management?
Diodes specifies a 13 × 13 mm (0.03 mm thick) copper land area per terminal for the RθJA = 40°C/W rating. Reducing copper area increases thermal resistance proportionally; for example, halving land size raises RθJA to ~65°C/W, requiring significant current derating above 25°C ambient.
Does DF15005M support capacitive-load operation?
Yes, but with 20% average current derating per datasheet guidance. At full 1.5A rating, capacitive loads must be limited to ≤1.2A to prevent excessive peak diode stress during charging transients - critical for designs using large bulk electrolytic capacitors after rectification.
How does the "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGN" status affect procurement?
This designation indicates Diodes has introduced newer alternatives (e.g., DF15005S) with improved efficiency or packaging. DF15005M remains fully manufactured and supported with no announced obsolescence date; Aetrix maintains active inventory and offers lifecycle coordination for legacy program continuity.
