Product details
Overview
MB352-F from Diodes Incorporated is a high-current silicon bridge rectifier with 200 V maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage, 35 A average rectified output current at TC = 55°C, and 1.2 V maximum forward voltage drop at 17.5 A, designed for AC-to-DC conversion in industrial power supplies and motor drive front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MB352-F datasheet, MB352-F pinout, MB352-F application, or MB352-F equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (2.5 °C/W junction-to-case), I²t fusing rating (664 A²s), RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, and bolt-down mounting requirement with thermal compound for heat-sink coupling.
Technical Context
This device implements a full-wave single-phase bridge rectifier topology using four silicon diodes in a monolithic metal-case package. It supports 60 Hz resistive or inductive loads and is rated for operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature.
Thermal performance is defined by RJC = 2.5 °C/W and case-to-ambient thermal resistance of 0.5 °C/W (with heatsink, RS-A = 0.5 °C/W). Reverse leakage is limited to 1.0 mA at 100°C and rated DC blocking voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum peak reverse voltage per element; defines safe AC input voltage ceiling before breakdown |
| I(AV) | 35.0 A at TC = 55°C - Continuous DC output current capability under specified case-cooling conditions |
| VF | 1.2 V at 17.5 A - Forward conduction loss directly impacts power dissipation and efficiency in rectification stage |
| IFSM | 400 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Surge current handling capacity during cold-start or line transients |
| I²t | 664 A²s - Fusing energy threshold; used for coordination with upstream overcurrent protection devices |
| RJC | 2.5 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; determines minimum heatsink requirement for thermal management |
| IR | 1.0 mA at TA = 100°C - Reverse leakage per element; affects standby loss and reliability in high-temp environments |
Pinout & Package
MB352-F uses a high-conductivity metal case package with universal terminals: two AC input terminals (marked "AC"/"~"), one positive DC output (+), and one negative DC output (–), mounted via #10 screw hole (H dimension: 4.85–5.59 mm). Bolt-down mounting with silicone thermal compound is mandatory for thermal integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 / AC2 | AC Input Terminals | Accept full-wave AC input; symmetrical connection-no polarity sensitivity on AC side |
| (+) | Positive DC Output | Delivers rectified positive rail; must connect to load or filter capacitor anode |
| (–) | Negative DC Output | Serves as return path and system ground reference; ties to capacitor cathode and load return |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| UL 94V-0 flame-rated case | Meets stringent flammability safety standard for enclosed industrial equipment |
| Bolt-down thermal interface | Enables direct metal-to-heatsink coupling with <2.5 °C/W RJC, critical for 35 A continuous operation |
| 0.25" Faston-compatible terminals | Supports snap-on, solder, or PCB-mounting flexibility without custom tooling |
| RoHS-compliant lead-free finish | Complies with EU Directive 2002/95/EC; exempted for high-temp solder per Annex Notes 5 & 7 |
Applications
| Industrial AC-DC Power Supply | Motor Drive Front-End Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 3-phase or single-phase input stage converting 115/230 VAC mains to unregulated DC bus for SMPS or linear regulators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Full-wave bridge rectifier providing isolated, polarity-corrected DC output with minimal conduction loss. Use Value: 35 A I(AV) and 400 A IFSM support high-power industrial supplies; low VF (1.2 V) reduces thermal burden on heatsink. | Use Scenario: Rectifying AC line input prior to DC link capacitors in variable-frequency drives (VFDs) for HVAC or pump control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current, thermally robust bridge enabling reliable DC bus generation under intermittent overload conditions. Use Value: 664 A²s I²t rating allows coordination with fast-acting fuses; RJC = 2.5 °C/W ensures stable operation at TJ ≤ 150°C. |
| Welding Equipment Power Stage | Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Charger |
Use Scenario: High-duty-cycle rectification in arc-welding inverters where surge current and thermal cycling are extreme. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary AC-to-DC conversion element handling repetitive 400 A surges and sustained 30+ A average current. Use Value: Metal-case construction and bolt-down mounting sustain mechanical and thermal stress; UL 94V-0 case enhances fire safety in enclosed welders. | Use Scenario: Battery charger front-end in line-interactive UPS systems requiring high-efficiency, long-life rectification. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Mains-fed bridge supplying regulated charging current to sealed lead-acid or Li-ion battery banks. Use Value: Low IR (1.0 mA @ 100°C) minimizes standby leakage; RoHS-compliant finish meets environmental compliance for commercial UPS deployments. |
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 35 A I(AV), 50 V VRRM; plastic package, lower thermal resistance (RJC = 1.8 °C/W), no metal case | Preferred for cost-sensitive, non-high-temp industrial designs where metal-case ruggedness is not required | Select when lower RJC and PCB-mount compatibility outweigh need for bolt-down mechanical stability |
| GBPC3510 | Same 35 A I(AV), 1000 V VRRM; plastic package, RJC = 1.8 °C/W, higher voltage rating | Suitable for 400–600 VAC input systems (e.g., three-phase rectification) where 200 V is insufficient | Choose for higher-voltage AC inputs; verify heatsink adequacy given identical thermal resistance but higher VF at full rating |
Compared with MB352-F, GBPC3505 offers better thermal efficiency in plastic packaging but lacks metal-case EMI shielding and mechanical robustness, while GBPC3510 extends voltage capability at the expense of slightly higher forward drop above 800 V rating-both require revalidation of mounting and thermal interface design.

FAQ
Is MB352-F RoHS compliant?
Yes, MB352-F features a lead-free finish compliant with EU Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS), effective for date codes 0514 and later. Exemptions apply for high-temperature solder and glass passivation per Annex Notes 5 and 7 of the directive.
What is the recommended mounting method for MB352-F?
MB352-F must be bolted directly to a heatsink using a #10 screw with maximum torque of 20 in·lb. A layer of silicone thermal compound is required between the metal case and heatsink surface to achieve the specified RJC = 2.5 °C/W and prevent thermal runaway.
Can MB352-F replace MB352 in existing designs?
Yes-MB352-F is functionally identical to MB352, with the "F" suffix indicating RoHS-compliant finish and updated date-code compliance (0514+). Electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications are unchanged; no redesign or requalification is needed for drop-in replacement.
Why is MB352-F marked "Not Recommended for New Design"?
Diodes Incorporated recommends the GBPC35 series for new designs due to improved thermal resistance (1.8 °C/W vs. 2.5 °C/W), smaller footprint, and surface-mount compatibility. MB352-F remains fully supported for legacy repair, maintenance, and long-lifecycle industrial programs.
