KBJ6005G

Overview

The KBJ6005G is a single-phase standard recovery bridge rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 50 V and an average rectified output current of 6.0 A at a case temperature of +110°C. The maximum forward voltage per element is 1.0 V at a forward current of 3.0 A, with a peak reverse current of 5.0 µA at rated DC blocking voltage and +25°C. The device supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 170 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave. It operates within a junction and storage temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction ensures reliable low-cost performance.
• High case dielectric strength of 2500 VRMS provides robust insulation.
• Low reverse leakage current contributes to efficient operation.
• Surge overload rating accommodates peak currents up to 170 A.

Applications

• Printed circuit board applications
• General purpose rectification in power supplies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix G against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm compliance with RoHS 3 directives and lead-free finish specifications. Confirm package type KBJ and tube packing quantity of 20 units match project requirements. Ensure sourcing channels are authorized to maintain product integrity and traceability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 V reverse voltage rating and 6.0 A continuous current capacity are required. Consider the KBJ through-hole package for mechanical stability using #6 screws. Evaluate thermal management needs as current derating applies for capacitive loads exceeding 20% above rated conditions.

Part Context

The KBJ6005G belongs to the KBJ6005G-KBJ610G series of 6.0A glass passivated bridge rectifiers. This family offers varying reverse voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining identical current and physical characteristics. The series utilizes molded plastic construction with UL flammability classification 94V-0.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' KBJ6005 equivalents or variants within the same KBJ series offering matching 50 V and 6.0 A ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and mounting torque limits of 5.0 in-lbs when integrating alternative sources.
