Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging configuration. Standard delivery modes may vary between trays or bulk depending on the suffix code. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization details directly with the manufacturer before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V rating and 2.0 A continuous current are required in a compact KBPM footprint. Ensure thermal management accommodates the specified operating junction temperature range up to 165 °C. Verify that the PCB layout supports the lead spacing and polarity markings indicated on the component body.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 2KBPxxM-E4 series of glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. The '08' designation specifically indicates an 800 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating within this product family.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official datasheet for cross-reference information. Verify electrical parameters such as forward voltage, reverse leakage, and surge current capabilities match the original design requirements before substituting.
