Product details
Overview
MB3505-F from Diodes Incorporated is a high-current silicon bridge rectifier with 50 V maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage, 35 A average rectified output current at TC = 55°C, and 1.1 V typical forward voltage drop at 17.5 A, used in industrial AC/DC power supplies and motor drive front-end rectification.
For engineers reviewing the MB3505-F datasheet, MB3505-F pinout, MB3505-F application, or MB3505-F equivalent, this part supports high-thermal-efficiency bolt-down mounting on heatsinks, delivers stable DC bus generation under 60 Hz inductive loads, and requires attention to case temperature derating above 55°C.
Technical Context
This full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four high-conductivity silicon diodes in a single metal-case package with universal terminals (Faston/solder/PCB mount). Its thermal design centers on low junction-to-case resistance (2.5 °C/W) and mandatory silicone thermal compound interface for bolt-down heatsink mounting.
Rated for operation from –55°C to +150°C, it exhibits 10 µA max reverse leakage at 25°C and 1.0 mA at 100°C under rated DC blocking voltage, with I²t fusing rating of 664 A²s for 8.3 ms surge events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum peak reverse voltage per diode leg; defines safe AC input range before breakdown. |
| I(AV) | 35.0 A at TC = 55°C - Continuous DC output current capability when case is actively cooled to 55°C. |
| VF | 1.1 V at 17.5 A - Forward voltage drop per conducting diode pair; determines conduction loss and heat generation. |
| IFSM | 400 A - Non-repetitive surge current tolerance for 1/2-cycle 60 Hz events; critical for inrush handling. |
| RJC | 2.5 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to case; mandates external heatsink with ≤0.5 °C/W RSA for full 35 A rating. |
| IR | 10 µA at 25°C - Reverse leakage per element; impacts standby power and high-impedance sensing accuracy. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Metal case with four universal terminals (AC1, AC2, +, –), UL 94V-0 rated, 29 g mass, designed for bolt-down heatsink mounting using #10 screw (20 in·lb max torque).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | AC Input Terminal 1 | One leg of AC input; connects to transformer secondary or line input; symmetrical with AC2. |
| AC2 | AC Input Terminal 2 | Second leg of AC input; completes full-wave bridge input path with AC1. |
| (+) | Positive DC Output | Anode of output diode pair; delivers rectified positive DC voltage to filter capacitor or load. |
| (–) | Negative DC Output / Common Return | Cathode of output diode pair; serves as system ground reference and return path for DC load current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High thermal conductivity metal case | Enables direct bolt-down heatsink mounting with <2.5 °C/W RJC, eliminating need for insulated mounting hardware. |
| Universal terminal options | Supports Faston snap-on, solder lug, or PCB tab mounting-no redesign needed across assembly methods. |
| Lead-free, RoHS-compliant finish | Meets EU Directive 2002/95/EC with exemptions applied; suitable for environmentally regulated industrial production. |
| UL 94V-0 case material | Self-extinguishing enclosure meets fire-safety requirements for enclosed power equipment and control cabinets. |
Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supply | Motor Drive Front-End Rectifier |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Converting 50/60 Hz AC mains or transformer output to unregulated DC bus in DIN-rail mounted PSUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Full-wave bridge rectifier providing bipolar AC-to-unidirectional DC conversion with minimal conduction loss. Use Value: 35 A continuous rating and 400 A surge capacity support high-power industrial loads without parallel devices. | Use Scenario: Rectifying AC input to DC link in 3-phase inverter drives feeding induction motors up to 5 HP. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary rectification stage delivering stable DC bus voltage prior to IGBT inverter stage. Use Value: Low 1.1 V VF reduces conduction losses at high RMS currents, improving overall drive efficiency and thermal margin. |
| Welding Equipment Power Stage | Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Charger |
Use Scenario: High-duty-cycle rectification in arc welding power sources with repetitive short-duration surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main AC input rectifier handling intermittent 400 A surge peaks while sustaining 25–30 A average output. Use Value: 664 A²s I²t rating ensures robust fusing margin against welder inrush and short-circuit transients. | Use Scenario: Battery charger front-end in line-interactive UPS systems requiring reliable 24/7 operation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Mains-fed bridge rectifier charging lead-acid or LiFePO₄ battery banks via controlled DC-DC stage. Use Value: 10 µA reverse leakage at 25°C minimizes no-load power drain during utility-powered standby mode. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBPC3505 | Same 50 V VRRM and 35 A I(AV), but plastic case (RJC = 3.0 °C/W), lower IFSM (350 A), and PCB-mount only terminals. | Preferred where PCB space is constrained and heatsink integration is via thermal pad; unsuitable for bolt-down metal chassis mounting. | Select GBPC3505 for compact SMT-compatible designs; retain MB3505-F when mechanical ruggedness and direct heatsink coupling are required. |
| KBPC3505 | Identical electrical ratings (50 V, 35 A, 1.1 V VF), but ceramic-insulated metal case, higher RJC (3.5 °C/W), and no RoHS exemption documentation. | Used in legacy military/aerospace programs requiring MIL-spec insulation; lacks documented lead-free compliance for new industrial designs. | Choose KBPC3505 only if ceramic isolation is mandated; otherwise MB3505-F offers superior thermal performance and verified RoHS status. |
Compared with GBPC3505 and KBPC3505, MB3505-F delivers the lowest thermal resistance (2.5 °C/W), highest surge rating (400 A), and certified RoHS compliance-making it optimal for thermally demanding, high-reliability industrial rectification where bolt-down heatsinking is feasible.

FAQ
What is the recommended heatsink mounting method for MB3505-F?
MB3505-F must be mounted directly to a heatsink using a #10 screw at ≤20 in·lb torque, with silicone thermal compound applied between the metal case and heatsink surface. This configuration achieves the specified 2.5 °C/W RJC and enables full 35 A current rating at TC = 55°C.
Does MB3505-F support RoHS compliance without exemptions?
No-MB3505-F complies with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC under exemptions for glass and high-temperature solder (Annex Notes 5 and 7), effective for date codes 0514+. Full exemption documentation is provided in Diodes' EC Declaration of Conformity.
Can MB3505-F replace MB3505 in existing designs?
Yes-MB3505-F is functionally and mechanically identical to MB3505, with identical pinout, ratings, and packaging. The "-F" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per Diodes' internal ordering convention; electrical and thermal performance are unchanged.
Why is MB3505-F marked "Not Recommended for New Design"?
Diodes recommends GBPC35 series for new designs due to improved manufacturability and broader distribution-but MB3505-F remains fully supported, in active production, and qualified for legacy replacement, repair, and long-lifecycle industrial applications where its metal-case thermal advantages are critical.
