KBP10M

Overview

The KBP10M is a glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor, an onsemi company. It features a silicon construction with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V and a continuous output current of 1.5 A. The device utilizes the KBPM molded plastic case style, designed for printed circuit board mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50 A and a maximum forward voltage of 1 V. It operates within a junction temperature range up to 150 °C and meets RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC standards.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides high dielectric strength and reliable performance under general-purpose conditions.
• High surge current capability supports demanding transient loads in switching power supplies.
• PCB-mountable KBPM case style facilitates efficient assembly and space-saving integration.

Applications

• General purpose AC-to-DC bridge full-wave rectification
• Switching power supply input stages
• Home appliance power circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels or direct manufacturer confirmation. Ensure the ordering part number matches the specific suffix requirements for package type and compliance status. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm mechanical dimensions and thermal ratings align with design specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V reverse voltage rating and 1.5 A continuous current capacity are required for PCB-mounted rectification applications. Consider the KBP series for its robust surge handling and glass-passivated reliability. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 150 °C maximum operating temperature and ambient conditions of the target enclosure.

Part Context

The KBP10M belongs to the KBP series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Vishay General Semiconductor. This series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V, all sharing the same KBPM molded plastic package. The family is characterized by glass passivation, high surge current capability, and compliance with environmental directives, making it suitable for widespread industrial and consumer electronics applications.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other KBP-series bridge rectifiers with matching voltage and current ratings, such as KBP10G or KBP10J, provided pinout and mechanical dimensions are identical. Verify that alternative components maintain the same glass passivation technology and PCB mounting compatibility to ensure seamless integration without redesigning the footprint.
