2KBP06M-E4/72

Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 2KBP06M-E4/72 is a glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier in the KBPM case style. It provides a maximum average forward output rectified current of 2.0 A at an ambient temperature of 55 °C and supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. The device features a peak forward surge current capability of 60 A, 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. Operating junction and storage temperatures range from -55 °C to +165 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation for enhanced environmental stability
• High surge current capability for robust operation
• High case dielectric strength for safety isolation

Applications

• AC/DC bridge full wave rectification for switching power supplies
• Home appliances
• Office equipment
• Telecommunication applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation before procurement. Suffixes such as /72 or /51 indicate variations in delivery mode, base quantity, and packaging type. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required manufacturing process and handling specifications for your assembly line.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the 600 V reverse voltage rating and 2.0 A continuous current requirement. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the KBPM through-hole package dimensions. Verify thermal management requirements, as the typical thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 30 °C/W when mounted on standard copper pads.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 2KBPxxM-E4 series, which includes variants with reverse voltages ranging from 50 V to 1000 V. The 'E4' designation indicates compliance with RoHS directives and utilizes silver-plated leads. The 2KBP06M specifically denotes the 600 V rating within this family of glass-passivated bridge rectifiers.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 2KBP06M variants from Vishay with different packaging suffixes, such as 2KBP06M-E4/51. Cross-brand replacements must match the 2.0 A current, 600 V voltage, and KBPM form factor.
