Product details
Overview
DF1506S-T from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount standard recovery bridge rectifier with 600 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 1.5 A average forward current, and 1.1 V maximum forward voltage per element at 1.5 A. It features glass-passivated die construction, 50 A non-repetitive surge capability, and UL recognition (E364304), designed for AC/DC power conversion in compact industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the DF1506S-T datasheet, DF1506S-T pinout, DF1506S-T application, or DF1506S-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V blocking rating, thermal resistance of 40 °C/W, moisture sensitivity level 1, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs with defined pad layout.
Technical Context
This single-phase, full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a monolithic DF-S package. Its standard recovery characteristic (typical reverse recovery time not specified but implied by "standard recovery" classification) supports 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 exhibits 25 pF typical junction capacitance per element at 1 MHz and 4 V reverse bias. Thermal performance is characterized with 5.0 mm² copper land areas, yielding 40 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Maximum peak reverse voltage the device blocks without breakdown; defines usable AC input voltage range (e.g., ≤420 V RMS). |
| IF(AV) | 1.5 A @ TA = +40°C - Continuous DC output current capability under defined ambient conditions; derates above 40°C per Fig. 1. |
| VF Max | 1.1 V @ IF = 1.5 A - Forward conduction loss per diode element; determines power dissipation (1.65 W total bridge at full load). |
| IFSM | 50 A - Single half-sine surge withstand (8.3 ms); supports inrush current handling in transformer-fed supplies. |
| IR Max | 10 µA @ 25°C / 500 µA @ 125°C - Leakage current limits; impacts standby power and high-temperature reliability. |
| RθJA | 40 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard PCB; used to calculate max junction temp under load. |
| CT | 25 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - Junction capacitance per element; influences EMI behavior and high-frequency switching noise. |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ~AC1 | AC Input Terminal 1 | One AC input node of full-wave bridge; connects to transformer secondary or AC line input. |
| ~AC2 | AC Input Terminal 2 | Second AC input node; completes AC input path for full-wave rectification. |
| +DC | Positive DC Output | Anode of output leg; delivers rectified positive voltage to filter capacitor and load. |
| –DC | Negative DC Output / Common Return | Cathode of output leg; serves as circuit ground reference and return path. |
Key Features

Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supplies | Consumer Wall Adapters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Converting 115/230 VAC mains to unregulated DC in enclosed DIN-rail or open-frame power supplies rated ≤15 W. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Full-wave bridge rectifier providing polarity-insensitive AC-to-DC conversion prior to bulk capacitance and regulation. Use Value: 600 V VRRM enables direct use with 230 VAC inputs (including surge margins); 50 A IFSM handles transformer inrush. | Use Scenario: Low-cost, compact wall plug-in adapters for home audio, set-top boxes, and IoT gateways. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side rectification stage delivering low-ripple DC to linear or switching regulators. Use Value: DF-S footprint minimizes board area; 1.1 V VF reduces conduction loss and thermal stress in sealed enclosures. |
| LED Driver Input Stages | Control Board Auxiliary Power |
Use Scenario: Rectifying AC input in constant-current LED drivers for commercial lighting fixtures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end bridge converting line voltage to DC bus feeding buck or flyback controllers. Use Value: 150 °C max junction temperature supports operation in thermally constrained luminaire housings. | Use Scenario: Providing isolated auxiliary power for PLC I/O modules, motor control logic, and sensor interface boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compact, reliable AC input rectification for low-power auxiliary rails (e.g., 5 V, 3.3 V). Use Value: UL recognition simplifies system-level safety approvals; moisture sensitivity level 1 eliminates bake requirements pre-assembly. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU6K (ON Semiconductor) | Same 600 V VRRM, 1.5 A IF, but GBU package (larger, through-hole compatible); RθJA ≈ 30 °C/W. | Requires PCB real estate for axial leads or GBU footprint; better thermal performance but incompatible with pure SMT lines. | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or higher thermal margin is prioritized over board space. |
| MB10F (Vishay) | 600 V VRRM, 1.0 A IF (derated vs. DF1506S-T); same DF-S footprint; VF = 1.1 V. | Limited to ≤10 W output due to lower current rating; suitable only where load current stays below 1.0 A continuous. | Choose only if design operates well within 1.0 A DC load and cost is primary driver. |
Compared with GBU6K and MB10F, DF1506S-T uniquely balances SMT compatibility, 1.5 A capacity, and UL recognition in the compact DF-S package-making it optimal for space-constrained, safety-certified, fully automated power supply designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for DF1506S-T?
The DF1506S-T has a specified junction and storage temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C. Its thermal resistance is 40 °C/W on a standard PCB; actual max operating temperature depends on ambient conditions and power dissipation. At 1.5 A and 1.1 V VF, junction temperature rise is ~66 °C above ambient, limiting safe continuous operation to ≤84 °C ambient for 150 °C max TJ.
Is DF1506S-T suitable for automotive applications?
No-DF1506S-T is not AEC-Q101 qualified and is not manufactured in an IATF 16949 certified facility per Diodes' documentation. While it meets industrial temperature and reliability requirements, automotive-grade use requires explicit qualification (e.g., DF1506S-Q or equivalent AEC-compliant variant), which this part does not carry.
How does the DF-S package compare to GBPC or KBU packages?
The DF-S package is a compact, surface-mount alternative to through-hole GBPC and KBU packages. At 7.65 mm × 6.35 mm, it occupies ~40% less board area than GBPC-10 (17.8 mm × 12.7 mm) and enables full automation. Unlike GBPC/KBU, DF-S lacks mounting holes and relies on solder joint mechanical strength, requiring adherence to Diodes' recommended pad layout.
Can DF1506S-T be used with capacitive loads?
Yes-but with mandatory 20% current derating per the datasheet. Capacitive-input filters cause high peak charging currents that exceed the average current rating. For a 1.5 A-rated device, maximum continuous output current drops to 1.2 A when feeding a bulk capacitor directly; additional filtering or inrush limiting is recommended for sustained reliability.
