Product details
Overview
RDBF1510U-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount fast bridge rectifier with 1000 V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.5 A average output current (IO), and 1.3 V maximum forward voltage (VFM) at 1.5 A. It performs full-wave AC-to-DC rectification in compact DBF package, used in SMPS, LED lighting drivers, and AC/DC adapters.
For engineers reviewing the RDBF1510U-13 datasheet, RDBF1510U-13 pinout, RDBF1510U-13 application, or RDBF1510U-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 1000 V, tRR = 500 ns, IFSM = 70 A surge rating, low-leakage IR = 5 µA at 25°C, and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating for SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This discrete bridge rectifier integrates four fast-switching diodes in a single DBF package, configured as a standard full-wave bridge with AC input terminals (AC1, AC2) and DC output terminals (+, −). Its 500 ns reverse recovery time (tRR) supports high-frequency switching in offline SMPS topologies up to several hundred kHz.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJC = 10 °C/W (junction-to-case) and RθJA = 50 °C/W (junction-to-ambient), requiring PCB copper thermal pads per pin for reliable 1.5 A continuous operation at TC = +110°C. The glass-passivated die ensures stable leakage (<5 µA @ 25°C) across −55°C to +150°C operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - Withstands peak reverse voltage in 120 VAC or 230 VAC mains-fed applications without breakdown. |
| IO | 1.5 A - Continuous average rectified output current at TC = +110°C with proper PCB heatsinking. |
| VFM | 1.3 V @ 1.5 A - Low conduction loss improves efficiency in low-power AC/DC converters and LED drivers. |
| tRR | 500 ns - Fast recovery minimizes switching losses and EMI in high-frequency flyback and buck-derived topologies. |
| IFSM | 70 A - Handles 8.3 ms half-sine surge events (e.g., cold-start inrush), enabling robust adapter designs. |
| IR | 5 µA @ 25°C - Low leakage preserves no-load efficiency and reduces standby power in energy-sensitive devices. |
| CT | 25 pF @ 1 MHz / 4 V - Low junction capacitance limits capacitive coupling noise in high-speed rectification paths. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DBF - Molded plastic, UL 94V-0 rated, 8.5 mm × 6.45 mm footprint, 1.4 mm height, 0.02 g weight. Moisture sensitivity level 1 (J-STD-020).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | AC Input Terminal 1 | One leg of AC input; connects to transformer secondary or line filter output. |
| AC2 | AC Input Terminal 2 | Second leg of AC input; completes full-wave bridge input path. |
| + | Positive DC Output | Anode of output diode pair; supplies filtered positive rail to downstream capacitor and regulator. |
| − | Negative DC Output | Cathode of output diode pair; serves as return path and ground reference for DC output. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die | Enables stable IR < 5 µA over temperature and humidity, critical for long-life LED drivers and industrial adapters. |
| Fast recovery (500 ns) | Reduces reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and associated switching losses in >100 kHz SMPS designs. |
| 70 A surge rating | Supports repeated cold-start conditions without degradation-validated per JEDEC JESD22-A114. |
| Lead-free, halogen-free | Meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and "Green" definition (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb), compliant for global eco-design. |
Applications
| LED Lighting Driver | AC/DC Adapter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 120/230 VAC input before bulk capacitor and constant-current LED driver IC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Full-wave bridge rectifier providing unidirectional DC bus for downstream PWM controller and MOSFET switch. Use Value: 1000 V VRRM ensures margin against line transients; 1.3 V VFM reduces conduction loss in thermally constrained lamp housings. | Use Scenario: Input-stage rectification in wall-plug adapters for consumer electronics (e.g., routers, set-top boxes). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete bridge converting AC mains to pulsating DC prior to filtering and regulation. Use Value: 70 A IFSM withstands repeated plug-in surges; DBF package enables automated placement on dense 2-layer PCBs. |
| SMPS Primary Side | Home Appliance Power Supply |
Use Scenario: Off-line flyback converter input stage in industrial control modules and IoT gateways. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage bridge rectifier feeding bulk capacitor and primary-side controller (e.g., UC3842, VIPer). Use Value: 500 ns tRR suppresses ringing during MOSFET turn-on, reducing EMI filter component count. | Use Scenario: Power conversion in washing machines, microwaves, and air conditioners with variable load profiles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main AC/DC interface delivering DC bus to PFC stage or isolated DC/DC converter. Use Value: −55°C to +150°C operating range accommodates under-hood or enclosed cabinet environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU10K | VRRM = 1000 V, IO = 1.0 A, tRR = 750 ns, larger GBU package (10.5 × 14.5 mm). | Lower current rating and slower recovery limit use in high-efficiency, space-constrained designs. | Select when board area is not constrained and lower cost is prioritized over thermal density. |
| DF10M | VRRM = 1000 V, IO = 1.0 A, VFM = 1.1 V, DO-15 through-hole package. | Through-hole mounting requires manual insertion or wave soldering; unsuitable for fully SMT lines. | Choose only for legacy repair or mixed-technology boards where reflow compatibility is not required. |
Compared with GBU10K and DF10M, RDBF1510U-13 delivers higher current (1.5 A vs. 1.0 A), faster recovery (500 ns vs. ≥750 ns), and SMT-ready DBF packaging-making it optimal for modern, high-density, high-efficiency AC/DC front-ends.

FAQ
Is RDBF1510U-13 still in active production?
No-RDBF1510U-13 is officially obsolete per Diodes' DS39410 Rev. 4 (February 2025). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains secured inventory for ongoing production support, including traceable lots and full documentation. Engineering samples and limited-volume orders remain available under controlled allocation.
What is the thermal pad layout recommendation for RDBF1510U-13?
Per Diodes' datasheet Note 6, each pin requires a 15 mm × 15 mm, 1 oz/ft² copper pad on FR-4 to achieve RθJA = 50 °C/W. The DBF package's exposed leads act as thermal conduction paths; avoid solder mask over these pads and ensure minimum 0.5 mm clearance between pads and adjacent traces.
Can RDBF1510U-13 replace RDBF158U-13 in an existing design?
Yes-both share identical DBF package, pinout, and thermal characteristics. RDBF1510U-13 offers higher VRRM (1000 V vs. 800 V) and same IO, VFM, and tRR. No layout or firmware changes are needed; it provides increased voltage margin for designs operating near 800 V rating limits.
Does RDBF1510U-13 meet automotive qualification standards?
No-RDBF1510U-13 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. Diodes explicitly states that automotive-grade variants require separate PPAP-capable part numbers and IATF 16949 manufacturing. For automotive applications, consult Diodes' AEC-Q101-certified bridge rectifier portfolio (e.g., DBF series with "-AQ" suffix).
