KBJ602G

Overview

The KBJ602G is a single-phase standard recovery bridge rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features glass passivated die construction and operates with an average rectified output current of 6.0 A at a case temperature of +110°C. The device has a peak repetitive reverse voltage rating of 200 V, with a maximum forward voltage of 1.0 V at 3.0 A and a peak reverse current of 5.0 µA at +25°C. It supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 170 A and functions within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction for enhanced reliability
• High case dielectric strength rated at 2500 VRMS
• Low reverse leakage current characteristics
• Surge overload rating capable of handling up to 170 A peak

Applications

• Printed circuit board applications
• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Industrial electronics requiring standard recovery speeds

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number KBJ602G against official Diodes Incorporated documentation before procurement. Confirm that the 200 V reverse voltage rating aligns with your circuit requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if environmental standards are mandatory for your assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200 V blocking voltage and 6.0 A continuous current capacity are required in a through-hole KBJ package. Consider derating the current by 20% if the application involves capacitive loads rather than resistive or inductive ones. Verify thermal management capabilities for operation near the maximum junction temperature limit.

Part Context

This component belongs to the KBJ6005G through KBJ610G series from Diodes Incorporated. The series covers various voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 6.0 A current rating and KBJ package form factor. The '602' designation specifically indicates the 200 V variant within this standardized product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include KBJ601G (100 V) and KBJ604G (400 V), provided the voltage ratings match the application needs. Other manufacturers producing equivalent 6 A, 200 V bridge rectifiers in the KBJ package may be considered after verifying electrical parameter compatibility.

FAQ
