Product details
Overview
MB351 from Diodes Incorporated is a high-current silicon bridge rectifier with 1000 V maximum DC blocking voltage, 35.0 A average rectified output current at TC = 55°C, and 400 A non-repetitive peak forward surge current (8.3 ms), designed for industrial AC/DC power conversion in switch-mode power supplies and motor drive front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MB351 datasheet, MB351 pinout, MB351 application, or MB351 equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (RJC = 2.5 °C/W), faston terminal mounting compatibility, UL 94V-0 case flammability rating, and RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (date code 0514+).
Technical Context
This full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four high-conductivity silicon diodes in a single metal-case package optimized for bolt-down heat-sink mounting with silicone thermal compound. Its design supports 60 Hz resistive or inductive loads and delivers stable rectified output up to 35 A under controlled case temperature conditions.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and features universal terminals compatible with snap-on, solder, or PCB board mounting per MIL-STD-202 Method 208. Reverse leakage remains ≤1.0 mA at 100°C and rated VDC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - Maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage per element; defines safe AC input voltage handling capability |
| I(AV) | 35.0 A at TC = 55°C - Continuous DC output current rating under specified case cooling condition |
| IFSM | 400 A (8.3 ms) - Surge withstand capability for line transients or startup inrush without failure |
| VF | 1.2 V at 17.5 A - Forward voltage drop per diode leg; determines conduction loss and thermal load at rated current |
| RJC | 2.5 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables accurate heatsink sizing for thermal management |
| TJ, TSTG | –55°C to +150°C - Operating and storage temperature range; supports harsh industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
MB351 uses a high-conductivity metal case package with four universal terminals: two AC inputs (marked "AC" on case), one positive DC output (+), and one negative DC output (–). Mounting requires #10 screw with max 20 in·lb torque and thermal interface material between case and heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1, AC2 | AC Input Terminals | Accept full-wave AC input; symmetrical connection enables flexible transformer secondary routing |
| + | Positive DC Output | Delivers rectified positive rail; marked with polarity symbol on case surface |
| – | Negative DC Output | Serves as return path and system ground reference; marked with polarity symbol on case |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBPC3510 | Same 1000 V VRRM, 35 A I(AV), but plastic DIP-4 package with lower RJA and no metal case | Lower thermal mass; suited for forced-air-cooled PCB-mount designs rather than bolted heatsinks | Select GBPC3510 for space-constrained PCB layouts where mechanical mounting flexibility outweighs thermal performance needs |
| KBPC3510 | Identical electrical ratings, but UL 94V-0 plastic housing and 2.8 °C/W RJC; lacks faston terminals | Requires solder or screw termination; not compatible with quick-connect wiring harnesses | Choose KBPC3510 when cost sensitivity and standard through-hole assembly dominate over field-serviceable connections |
Compared with MB351, GBPC3510 offers PCB integration at the expense of thermal dissipation capability, while KBPC3510 trades terminal versatility for lower unit cost and simplified procurement-both require re-evaluation of heatsinking and mounting strategy.

FAQ
Is MB351 RoHS compliant?
Yes, MB351 features a lead-free finish and is RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS), effective for date codes 0514 and later. Exemptions for high-temperature solder and glass passivation are applied per Annex Notes 5 and 7 of the directive.
What is the recommended mounting method for MB351?
MB351 must be bolted directly to a heatsink using a #10 screw with maximum torque of 20 in·lb. A thin layer of silicone thermal compound is required between the metal case and heatsink surface to achieve the specified RJC = 2.5 °C/W thermal resistance.
Can MB351 replace MB3505 in an existing design?
Yes, MB351 and MB3505 share identical electrical specifications and mechanical footprint. The "1" suffix denotes 100 V VRRM, but MB351 is part of the MB35xx family with 1000 V rating; confirmation of correct suffix interpretation from Diodes' ordering guide is essential before substitution.
Why is MB351 marked "Not Recommended for New Design"?
Diodes Incorporated recommends the GBPC35 series for new designs due to improved thermal performance in plastic packages, higher surge ratings, and broader distribution channel support. MB351 remains fully supported for legacy repair, maintenance, and life-extension programs.
