Product details
Overview
W04G from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.5A glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier with 400V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0V forward voltage at 1.5A, and 50A non-repetitive surge current capability - used in AC/DC power supplies for industrial control modules, LED drivers, and appliance power stages.
For engineers reviewing the W04G datasheet, W04G pinout, W04G application, or W04G equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM derating for capacitive loads, thermal resistance (84°C/W) for PCB layout, junction temperature limits (–65°C to +150°C), and UL recognition (E94661) for safety-compliant designs.
Technical Context
The W04G integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with glass passivated junctions for enhanced reliability under thermal cycling and humidity stress. Its 1.5A average output current rating assumes 25°C ambient with 13×13mm copper pads per terminal, and it requires 20% current derating when driving capacitive loads.
Designed for 60Hz line-frequency operation, the device exhibits 12pF typical total capacitance per element at 1MHz and 4V reverse bias, and maintains ≤5µA reverse leakage at 25°C and rated DC blocking voltage - critical for low-noise auxiliary power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - maximum peak reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe AC input range for 230VAC systems with margin. |
| IO (TA = 25°C) | 1.5 A - continuous DC output current with specified PCB copper area; derates to ~0.75A at 100°C ambient. |
| VFM @ 1.5A | 1.0 V - forward drop per diode pair; determines conduction loss (≈1.5W at full load) and heatsink requirements. |
| IFSM (8.3ms) | 50 A - surge withstand capability for inrush limiting; supports cold-start into bulk capacitors up to ~2200µF. |
| RθJC | 84 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to case; requires ≥13×13mm 0.03mm-thick copper pad per terminal for rated current. |
| CT (per element) | 12 pF - junction capacitance at 1MHz/4V; impacts EMI filtering design and high-frequency noise coupling. |
| Isolation Voltage | 1500 V - case-to-terminal dielectric strength; satisfies reinforced insulation requirements for Class II power supplies. |
Pinout & Package

| – (DC–) | Negative DC output / return | Cathode of internal lower diodes; serves as system ground reference point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 1.5A IO, but TO-220AC package with higher RθJC (10°C/W) and 60A IFSM. | Requires heatsink for >1A continuous use; better suited for higher-surge, forced-air-cooled designs. | Select GBU4K when thermal budget allows heatsinking and surge immunity >50A is required. |
| MB10F (Vishay) | 400V VRRM, 1.0A IO, smaller MB-10 package, RθJC = 100°C/W, 30A IFSM. | Limited to lower-power applications; not suitable for sustained 1.5A loads without significant derating. | Choose MB10F only for space-constrained, <1A auxiliary rails where cost and footprint outweigh current capacity. |
Compared with GBU4K and MB10F, the W04G offers optimal balance of surge robustness (50A), thermal performance (84°C/W on standard PCB), and safety certification (UL E94661) for mid-power industrial and medical auxiliary supplies without requiring external heatsinks.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature for W04G at full 1.5A load?
At 1.5A DC output, the W04G must be operated below 25°C ambient to maintain junction temperature within its –65°C to +150°C rating, assuming standard 13×13mm copper pads. Derating curves show usable current drops to ~0.75A at 100°C ambient due to its 84°C/W thermal resistance.
Does W04G require heatsinking in typical PCB-mount applications?
No heatsink is required if the W04G is mounted on a PCB with minimum 13×13mm (0.03mm thick) copper land areas per terminal and ambient temperature remains ≤50°C. Above that, thermal simulation or empirical testing is recommended to verify junction temperature stays below 125°C.
Can W04G be used in capacitive-input filter configurations without modification?
No - the datasheet mandates 20% current derating for capacitive loads. At 1.5A rated IO, this limits continuous current to 1.2A when feeding bulk electrolytic capacitors directly, to prevent overheating from high peak charging currents and increased RMS dissipation.
Is W04G compliant with modern environmental regulations beyond RoHS?
Yes - W04G carries DC 514+ marking confirming full RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2002/95/EC, including approved exemptions for glass and high-temperature solder. It also meets J-STD-020C Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 and UL 94V-0 flammability requirements.
