KBL01-M3/A

Overview

The KBL01-M3/A is a single-phase standard bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 100 V and an average forward rectified current of 4 A. The device utilizes a plastic encapsulate with Underwriters Laboratory Flammability Classification 94V-0. It is designed for through-hole mounting in the KBU package style, operating within a junction temperature range of -50°C to 150°C.

Feature Summary

• Single-phase standard rectification capability
• Plastic material with UL 94V-0 flammability classification
• Through-hole installation design

Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC conversion circuits
• Power supply input stages
• Rectification in low-voltage electronic equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /A against official Vishay documentation to confirm exact marking and packaging details. Ensure the procurement channel provides authentic components from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. Cross-reference the datasheet for thermal management requirements during integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V reverse voltage rating and 4 A continuous current are required. Consider the KBU package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate thermal dissipation needs based on the 150°C maximum junction temperature specification for the intended operating environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KBL series of bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 4 A forward current capability. The KBL01 variant specifically targets applications requiring lower reverse voltage blocking compared to higher-rated siblings in the same family.
