Product details
Overview
DF1501S-T from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount standard recovery bridge rectifier with 100 V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.5 A average forward rectified current (IO), and 1.1 V maximum forward voltage drop (VFM) at 1.5 A per element. It features glass passivated die construction, 50 A non-repetitive peak forward surge capability, and is UL Recognized (E364304) for use in AC/DC power supplies and industrial control power stages.
For engineers reviewing the DF1501S-T datasheet, DF1501S-T pinout, DF1501S-T application, or DF1501S-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its DF-S package thermal resistance (40 °C/W), low-leakage reverse current (10 µA at 25°C), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs with defined pad layouts.
Technical Context
This single-phase, full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a monolithic DF-S molded plastic package. Its standard recovery characteristics (typical trr not specified but consistent with standard recovery class) support line-frequency (50/60 Hz) operation with resistive or inductive loads; capacitive loads require 20% current derating.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and delivers stable performance under transient surges up to 50 A (8.3 ms half-sine). Thermal resistance of 40 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, measured on 5.0 mm² copper land) enables reliable power dissipation in compact board layouts without forced airflow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage per diode leg; defines safe AC input voltage ceiling (e.g., ≤70 V RMS). |
| IO | 1.5 A @ TA = +40°C - Continuous DC output current capability under natural convection; derates linearly above 40°C ambient. |
| VFM | 1.1 V @ IF = 1.5 A - Forward voltage per diode element; determines conduction loss (1.65 W total for full-wave bridge at 1.5 A). |
| IFSM | 50 A - Non-repetitive surge rating (8.3 ms); supports inrush current handling in transformer-coupled supplies. |
| IRM | 10 µA @ 25°C - Reverse leakage per element; ensures minimal standby power loss in off-state. |
| RθJA | 40 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard PCB; sets minimum required copper area for thermal management. |
| CT | 25 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - Junction capacitance per diode; impacts high-frequency noise coupling and EMI filter design. |

Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supplies | Consumer Wall Adapters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 50/60 Hz AC from toroidal or EI-core transformers in DIN-rail mounted PLC power modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Full-wave bridge rectifier converting AC to unregulated DC prior to linear regulation or bulk capacitor filtering. Use Value: 1.5 A continuous rating and 50 A surge capacity ensure robust operation during motor controller startup transients. |
Use Scenario: Low-cost offline AC/DC conversion in Class II double-insulated wall plug adapters for audio accessories. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary rectification stage delivering 12 V DC after smoothing and regulation. Use Value: DF-S package footprint and RoHS compliance support automated assembly and global market access. |
| LED Driver Input Stages | Appliance Control Board Power |
Use Scenario: Input rectification in constant-current LED drivers for commercial lighting fixtures operating from 120 V AC mains. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bridge rectifier feeding bulk capacitor and PFC or buck converter stage. Use Value: 100 V VRRM provides sufficient margin over 120 V AC peak (170 V), while 1.1 V VFM limits heat generation in sealed enclosures. |
Use Scenario: Power supply front-end for microcontroller-based washing machine control boards exposed to humid, vibration-prone environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main AC-to-DC conversion block powering 5 V/3.3 V regulators and relay drivers.

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 100 V VRRM, 1.5 A IO, but GBU package (larger footprint, higher RθJA ≈ 50 °C/W). | Requires larger PCB area and more copper for thermal management; less suitable for space-constrained designs. | Select when legacy GBU layout exists or higher surge margin (60 A IFSM) is prioritized over size. |
| MB10F (Fairchild/ON) | Lower VRRM (100 V same), but MB10F uses MB package (smaller than DF-S); VF slightly higher (1.15 V). | Higher forward loss increases thermal load at full current; may require derating in enclosed spaces. | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where 0.05 V VF increase is acceptable and footprint reduction is critical. |
Compared with GBU4K and MB10F, DF1501S-T offers optimal balance of thermal performance (40 °C/W), compact DF-S footprint, and industry-standard 100 V/1.5 A rating-making it preferred for new industrial and appliance designs requiring SMT scalability and UL recognition.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for DF1501S-T?
The DF1501S-T has a specified junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 40 °C/W) means that at 1.5 A IO and 25°C ambient, junction temperature rises approximately 60°C above ambient-well within safe limits. Derating curves in the datasheet define usable current vs. ambient temperature.
Is DF1501S-T suitable for use with capacitive loads?
No-capacitive loads require 20% derating of the average forward current (IO) due to high inrush currents. For example, at 100% rated IO (1.5 A), the device must be operated at ≤1.2 A when feeding large bulk capacitors directly. Use inductive or resistive loads is preferred for full-rated performance.
Does DF1501S-T meet automotive qualification standards?
DF1501S-T is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., DF1501S-Q), this standard version lacks PPAP documentation, IATF 16949 manufacturing evidence, and extended temperature validation beyond the –55°C to +150°C range. It is intended for industrial and consumer applications.
How does the DF-S package compare to GBPC or KBU packages?
The DF-S package is smaller (7.65 × 6.35 mm) and lower-profile than through-hole GBPC or KBU packages, enabling fully automated SMT assembly. Unlike those older packages, DF-S has optimized thermal pad geometry for PCB heat spreading and complies with modern moisture sensitivity (Level 1) and RoHS requirements without lead finish compromises.
