3KBP06M-E4/51

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 3KBP06M-E4/51 is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier designed for general-purpose AC-to-DC full-wave rectification. It features an average forward output rectified current of 3.0 A at 55 °C and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 80 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 to +150 °C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.05 V at 3.0 A and a maximum DC reverse current of 5 µA at rated blocking voltage. The component utilizes the KBPM through-hole case style with silver-plated leads.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides high case dielectric strength and reliable performance in standard environments.
• Silver-plated leads ensure solderability per J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102 standards for robust PCB mounting.
• Epoxy body meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, ensuring safety compliance in enclosed equipment designs.

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• Switching power supply circuits
• Home appliances rectification stages
• Office equipment power systems
• Telecommunication applications

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation before procurement. The E4 designation indicates consumer grade composition compliant with RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC directives. Confirm that the /51 packaging code corresponds to the required anti-static PVC tray quantity of 600 units for your manufacturing process requirements.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V peak reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 3 A continuous forward current capacity. Ensure the thermal management design accounts for the typical thermal resistance values provided in the datasheet. Verify that the operating ambient temperature remains within the specified limits or apply appropriate derating curves for higher temperatures.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the 3KBP005M thru 3KBP08M series from Vishay General Semiconductor. The series covers voltage ratings from 50 V to 800 V while maintaining a consistent 3 A current rating and KBPM package style. This allows for standardized mechanical layouts across different voltage requirements within the same product family.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Cross-referencing requires matching the 3 A current, 600 V voltage, and KBPM package specifications independently.
