KBL01-M3/P

Overview

The KBL01-M3/P is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a peak reverse voltage of 100 V and an average forward rectified current of 4 A. The device utilizes standard technology and is housed in a KBU through-hole package, specifically the 4-SIP configuration. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 950 mV at 4 A and a reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 100 V. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -50°C to 150°C.

Feature Summary

• Single-phase bridge rectifier configuration for AC-to-DC conversion
• Through-hole mounting capability via KBU package
• Standard recovery technology for general-purpose applications

Applications

• General purpose power supply circuits
• AC to DC rectification in consumer electronics
• Low voltage power adapter designs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix P against the official datasheet to confirm packaging details, as suffixes often denote tape-and-reel or bulk variations. Ensure the 100V rating aligns with circuit requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm authenticity and current production status before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4 A current capacity and 100 V blocking voltage are required for through-hole assembly. The KBU package offers robust mechanical stability compared to surface-mount alternatives. Consider thermal management requirements given the 150°C junction limit and ensure PCB layout accommodates the SIP footprint dimensions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KBL series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series covers various voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V with a consistent 4 A forward current capability. The M3 designation indicates lead-free composition compliant with RoHS standards, while the /P suffix typically specifies the specific packaging format provided by the manufacturer.

Replacement Considerations

Parameter-equivalent substitutes include KBL01-M3/A and KBL01-E4/51. Verify that alternative packages match the physical footprint and pinout compatibility for direct replacement without PCB redesign.
