Product details
Overview
RH04-T from Diodes Incorporated is a 0.5A surface-mount standard recovery bridge rectifier with 400V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 1.15V max forward voltage at 0.4A, and 30A non-repetitive surge rating-designed for AC/DC front-end conversion in compact power supplies and LED drivers.
For engineers reviewing the RH04-T datasheet, RH04-T pinout, RH04-T application, or RH04-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its MiniDIP package footprint, 150ns reverse recovery time, RoHS-compliant bright tin plating, and suitability for automated SMT assembly in space-constrained industrial and consumer power designs.
Technical Context
This single-phase, full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a monolithic glass-passivated configuration. It operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature and supports 60Hz resistive/inductive loads without derating-capacitive loads require 20% current derating per specification.
Thermal resistance is 85°C/W (junction-to-ambient, mounted on PCB), and typical junction capacitance is 13pF per element at 1MHz/4V reverse bias. Reverse leakage remains ≤5µA at 25°C and ≤100µA at 125°C under rated DC blocking voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum peak reverse voltage the device blocks reliably in repetitive operation |
| IF(AV) | 0.5 A @ TA = +40°C - Average forward current capability under standard thermal conditions |
| VF Max | 1.15 V @ 0.4A - Forward voltage drop per diode element, directly impacting conduction loss in low-voltage output stages |
| tRR | 150 ns - Reverse recovery time per element, limiting usable frequency range in switching applications |
| IFSM | 30 A - Non-repetitive surge current handling for transient line events like cold-start or inrush |
| RθJA | 85 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard PCB mount, defining heatsinking requirements |
| CJ | 13 pF - Typical junction capacitance per diode, influencing high-frequency noise coupling and EMI behavior |
Pinout & Package
Package: MiniDIP (4-pin, single-in-line molded plastic body, UL 94V-0 rated, 0.125g weight). Terminals are bright tin-plated, solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ~AC1 | AC Input Terminal 1 | One of two alternating-current input connections to the bridge; marked with polarity symbol on case |
| ~AC2 | AC Input Terminal 2 | Second AC input connection; forms full-wave rectification path with ~AC1 |
| +DC | Positive DC Output | Anode-side output node delivering rectified positive voltage to downstream filter and regulation |
| –DC | Negative DC Output / Common Cathode | Cathode-side return path; serves as circuit ground reference for the rectified output |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU4K (ON Semiconductor) | Same 400V VRRM and 0.5A IF, but GBU package (larger, through-hole); tRR = 250ns | Requires PCB redesign for through-hole mounting; higher thermal mass suits higher ambient temp | Choose when legacy board reuse or higher surge margin (50A IFSM) outweighs SMT efficiency |
| MB6S (Vishay) | Same MiniDIP package and 0.5A/400V rating; tRR = 250ns; VF = 1.1V typical | Slightly lower forward drop but slower recovery-less suitable for high-frequency noise-sensitive designs | Prefer where conduction loss dominates over EMI concerns, and existing MB6S footprint is leveraged |
Compared with GBU4K and MB6S, RH04-T offers the fastest recovery (150ns) in MiniDIP format-advantageous for EMI-limited applications-while maintaining identical current/voltage ratings and superior SMT process compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for RH04-T?
RH04-T has a specified operating and storage temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 85°C/W when mounted on a standard PCB, meaning sustained 0.5A operation at +125°C ambient requires careful layout to avoid exceeding the 150°C absolute maximum junction temperature.
Is RH04-T suitable for capacitive-load applications?
No-RH04-T must be derated by 20% in average forward current when used with capacitive loads, per datasheet Note 4. This is due to increased peak current stress during capacitor charging; for such applications, consider a higher-current-rated bridge or add inrush limiting.
Does RH04-T have automotive qualification?
RH04-T is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While Diodes offers automotive-grade variants in other families, this part is intended for industrial and consumer use. For automotive applications, contact Diodes directly to discuss PPAP-capable, IATF 16949-manufactured alternatives.
How does RH04-T compare to RH02-T and RH06-T?
RH04-T shares identical package, pinout, thermal characteristics, and electrical test conditions with RH02-T (200V) and RH06-T (600V). The only difference is peak reverse voltage rating-making them drop-in replacements in designs where voltage margin allows, provided VRRM meets system requirements.
