KBP106G C2

Overview

The KBP106G C2 is a glass passivated bridge rectifier from the KBP series manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a molded plastic body with matte tin-plated leads and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. The device provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V, a maximum RMS voltage of 420 V, and a maximum DC blocking voltage of 600 V. It supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1 A and can withstand a peak forward surge current of 30 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation protects the junctions against mechanical stress
• Molded plastic construction ensures reliable low-cost assembly
• Compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and WEEE 2002/96/EC standards
• Halogen-free formulation according to IEC 61249-2-21 definition

Applications

• Printed circuit board mounting for general-purpose rectification
• Power supply units requiring 600V reverse voltage ratings
• Adapters and chargers utilizing resistive or inductive loads

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix C2 corresponds to the tube packing configuration as documented in the datasheet. Confirm that the 'G' designation indicates the halogen-free green compound variant. Ensure compliance requirements match project specifications regarding UL recognition file E-326243 and JESD 201 class 1A whisker test results before finalizing component selection.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V peak reverse voltage rating is required for AC-to-DC conversion circuits. The 1 A average forward current capability suits low-power applications. Consider the thermal resistance values of 10°C/W (junction-to-lead) and 28°C/W (junction-to-air) for heatsinking calculations. Verify lead solderability per JESD22-B102 if specific plating compatibility is necessary for the manufacturing process.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KBP101G through KBP107G family of glass passivated bridge rectifiers. The numeric suffix '6' in KBP106G specifically denotes the 600 V voltage rating tier within the series. The C2 suffix identifies the specific packing code associated with tube packaging for this manufacturer's distribution channel.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 600 V reverse voltage, 1 A forward current, and 1206 equivalent physical footprint. Verify that alternative components meet the same -55°C to +150°C operating temperature range and possess comparable peak surge current capabilities of 30 A.
