KBP06M-E4/51

Overview

The KBP06M-E4/51 is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a KBPM case style with silver-plated leads suitable for through-hole mounting. The device provides a maximum average forward output rectified current of 1.5 A at an ambient temperature of 40 °C and supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. Electrical characteristics include a peak forward surge current capability of 60 A, 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 junction and storage temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation protects the junctions against mechanical stresses
• High surge current capability handles transient load conditions
• High case dielectric strength ensures electrical isolation
• Terminals are silver plated and solderable per standard specifications

Applications

• AC-to-DC bridge full wave rectification in switching power supplies
• Rectification circuits in home appliances
• Power conversion stages in office equipment
• Rectification applications in telecommunication systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix /51 corresponds to the anti-static PVC tray delivery mode containing 600 units per package. Confirm that the E4 designation indicates consumer grade compliance with RoHS directives. Ensure the procurement documentation matches the manufacturer part number KBP06M-E4/51 to guarantee correct polarity marking and terminal configuration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V peak reverse voltage rating is required for single-phase rectification. The 1.5 A average forward current rating suits low-power general-purpose applications. Verify that the PCB layout accommodates the KBPM case dimensions and lead spacing. Consider the thermal resistance values if operating near the maximum temperature limits or under high ambient conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KBP005M through KBP10M series of glass passivated bridge rectifiers. The series shares common mechanical data and thermal characteristics while varying in voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V. The KBP06M specifically addresses the 600 V requirement within this standardized product line.
