KBL602G

Overview

The KBL602G is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage (Vrrm) of 400 V and an average forward rectified current (Io) of 6 A. The device supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current (Ifsm) of 150 A at a specified frequency. It exhibits a maximum RMS reverse voltage (Vrms) of 280 V and a DC blocking voltage (Vdc) of 400 V. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, with a maximum operating temperature of 150°C. It utilizes a KBL package configuration.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction for reliable operation
• High surge current capability
• Molded plastic case with UL flammability classification 94V-0

Applications

• Printed circuit board mounting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet for the KBL602G to confirm exact electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions before integration. Ensure that the procurement channel provides original manufacturer documentation to validate authenticity and compliance with RoHS directives. Cross-reference the part number against official Taiwan Semiconductor catalogs to avoid substitution errors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6 A continuous current rating and 400 V reverse voltage are required for through-hole applications. Consider the KBL package size constraints and thermal management requirements for the specific enclosure design. Verify that the 150 A surge rating meets the inrush current demands of the target load circuit during startup conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the KBL series of glass passivated bridge rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining a consistent 6 A current capacity and KBL package form factor. It is designed for general-purpose applications requiring robust performance in compact PCB layouts.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 6 A, 400 V bridge rectifiers in the KBL package, such as those from Vishay or Diodes Inc., provided they meet the same electrical specifications and mechanical footprint requirements.
