2KBP02M/1

Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor 2KBP02M/1 is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier designed for printed circuit board mounting. It features a KBPM plastic case with four terminals and isolated case connection. The device provides a maximum average forward output rectified current of 2.0 A at an ambient temperature of 55 °C. Its maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) is rated at 200 V, with a corresponding maximum RMS voltage of 140 V and DC blocking voltage of 200 V. The component supports a peak forward surge current of 60 A for a single half-sine wave superimposed on rated load. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.1 V per diode at 3.14 A and a maximum DC reverse current of 5 µA at 25 °C. The operating junction and storage temperature range extends from -55 °C to +165 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation protects the silicon junctions against mechanical stresses and ensures long-term reliability under various environmental conditions.
• High surge current capability allows the device to withstand transient overloads during power-up or fault conditions without failure.
• Epoxy compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, providing safety compliance for enclosed electronic assemblies.

Applications

• General purpose ac-to-dc bridge full-wave rectification in switching power supplies
• Power conversion circuits within home appliances
• Rectification stages in office equipment
• Power supply units for telecommunication applications

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required delivery mode, such as tube or anti-static PVC tray configurations. Confirm RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are prohibited in the target assembly. Ensure the specific part number variant aligns with the desired packaging quantity and handling requirements for automated placement processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200 V reverse voltage rating is sufficient for the AC input line while requiring a 2 A continuous current capacity. Consider the KBPM package dimensions for PCB footprint constraints and verify thermal management needs based on the specified thermal resistance values. Evaluate the 165 °C junction temperature limit against the expected operating environment to ensure adequate derating margins.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 2KBP series of glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The series covers a voltage range from 50 V to 1000 V, sharing common mechanical and electrical characteristics across variants. The 2KBP02M specifically denotes the 200 V version within this lineup, utilizing the standardized KBPM case style for through-hole mounting.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay parts in the 2KBP series for different voltage ratings if system requirements change. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance specifications when substituting with equivalent bridge rectifiers from other manufacturers to ensure proper heat dissipation and electrical performance.
