KBJ606G

Overview

The KBJ606G is a single-phase standard recovery bridge rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 600 V and an average rectified output current of 6.0 A at a case temperature of +110°C. The forward voltage per element is 1.0 V maximum at 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. Operating and storage temperatures range from -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction ensures stable operation under reverse voltage conditions.
• High case dielectric strength provides electrical isolation up to 2500 VRMS.
• Surge overload rating accommodates transient currents up to 170 A peak.
• UL recognized component status facilitates compliance in end-product safety certifications.

Applications

• Printed circuit board mounting for general-purpose power supplies
• Adapters requiring high case dielectric strength
• Industrial equipment utilizing standard recovery bridge configurations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against the manufacturer's official datasheet DS21207 Rev. 10-2 before procurement. Confirm that the required voltage rating matches the 600V specification, as the KBJ series includes variants with different ratings such as 50V or 800V. Ensure the ordering suffix 'G' corresponds to lead-free and RoHS compliant packaging requirements specified by Diodes Incorporated.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600V reverse voltage rating is necessary for single-phase rectification applications. The 6.0A current capacity is suitable for moderate power loads, provided thermal management maintains the case temperature within limits. Consider the 170A surge capability for circuits experiencing high inrush currents. Verify that through-hole mounting via #6 screws aligns with the mechanical design constraints of the target assembly.

Part Context

The KBJ606G belongs to the KBJ6005G-KBJ610G family of standard recovery bridge rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. This series shares identical physical dimensions and electrical characteristics regarding current and forward voltage, differing only in their peak repetitive reverse voltage ratings. The KBJ package utilizes molded plastic with UL flammability classification 94V-0.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include KBJ608G (800V) and KBJ604G (400V), provided the voltage rating meets the circuit requirements. Cross-manufacturer equivalents must be verified for matching pinout, package dimensions, and thermal resistance specifications.
