KBL02-M3/A

Overview

The KBL02-M3/A 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 3 A. The device utilizes standard silicon technology and is housed in a GBL surface-mount package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 600 V and a typical forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 4 A. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and complies with RoHS 3 standards.

Feature Summary

• Surface-mount construction in a compact GBL package for automated assembly
• High surge current capability for robust circuit protection
• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency
• Compliant with RoHS 3 directives

Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC conversion in power supplies
• Battery charging circuits
• DC power output stages in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A' against the official Vishay datasheet, as it may denote a specific tape-and-reel configuration or packaging variant rather than a functional change. Confirm the manufacturer part number matches the exact ordering code required for your bill of materials to ensure correct supply chain alignment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3 A surface-mount bridge rectifier with a 200 V rating is required. Ensure the PCB footprint matches the GBL package dimensions. Verify that the 150°C maximum junction temperature meets the thermal requirements of the target application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KBL series of bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The KBL series is designed for general-purpose applications requiring reliable performance in a small surface-mount form factor. It serves as a standard solution for low-to-medium power rectification needs in modern electronic devices.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other KBL02 variants from Vishay or equivalent 3 A / 200 V GBL-package bridge rectifiers from other manufacturers. Ensure pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics match before substitution.
