KBL02-E4/51

Overview

The KBL02-E4/51 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and an average forward rectified current of 2 A. The device exhibits a maximum RMS current rating of 3.2 A and a surge forward current capacity of 60 A. Electrical characteristics include a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 200 V and a typical forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 2 A. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and utilizes a screw-mount installation type in a GBPC package.

Feature Summary

• Single-phase bridge rectifier configuration for AC-to-DC conversion
• Screw-mount terminal design for secure mechanical attachment
• High thermal stability supporting extended operating temperatures

Applications

• General-purpose power supply circuits
• AC-to-DC rectification in industrial equipment
• Low-voltage DC power distribution systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Vishay documentation to confirm exact packaging and compliance status. Ensure that the GBPC package dimensions and screw mounting specifications align with the target PCB or chassis layout requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, screw-mount bridge rectifier is required for applications involving 200 V reverse voltage and 2 A continuous current. Consider the 1.1 V forward voltage drop for thermal management calculations and verify that the 60 A surge current rating meets the inrush requirements of the connected load.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KBL series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The E4 suffix indicates RoHS compliance, while the /51 designation typically refers to bulk packaging. The KBL series is designed for general-purpose applications requiring reliable rectification in compact form factors with high surge current handling capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 200 V reverse voltage, 2 A average current, and GBPC screw-mount package. Verify that alternative components maintain equivalent surge current ratings and forward voltage characteristics to ensure circuit compatibility.
