KBP06M-E4/45

Overview

The KBP06M-E4/45 is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum average forward output rectified current of 1.5 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. The device has a peak forward surge current rating of 60 A and a typical thermal resistance from junction to ambient of 40 °C/W. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.0 V at 1.0 A and a maximum DC reverse current of 5 µA at rated blocking voltage. The component operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides high reliability and stability under various operating conditions.
• High surge current capability supports transient load demands in power circuits.
• Epoxy case meets UL 94V-0 flammability ratings for safety compliance.

Applications

• AC-to-DC bridge full wave rectification for switching power supplies
• Rectification circuits in home appliances
• Power conditioning in office equipment
• Telecommunication applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm package type and delivery mode. The /45 suffix indicates tube packaging with a base quantity of 30 units. Confirm RoHS compliance status as required by project specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V reverse voltage rating and 1.5 A continuous current are required in a through-hole configuration. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. Consider the 60 A surge current capability for circuit protection requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KBP series of glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifiers. The series includes variants ranging from 50 V to 1000 V reverse voltage ratings, all sharing the same KBPM case style and 1.5 A current capacity. The E4 suffix denotes consumer grade components compliant with lead-free manufacturing standards.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include KBP06M-E4/51, which shares identical electrical specifications but utilizes anti-static PVC tray packaging instead of tubes. Other voltage ratings in the KBP series may be considered if the system design allows for different reverse voltage margins.
