KBP151G C2G

Overview

The KBP151G C2G is a single-phase glass passivated bridge rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.5 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 50 V. The device utilizes a KBP-4 through-hole package with matte tin-plated leads. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1.5 A, a peak forward surge current of 50 A, and a maximum DC reverse current of 10 µA at rated voltage. Operating junction temperature ranges from -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides reliable low-cost construction utilizing molded plastic technique.
• High surge current capability for robust performance under transient conditions.
• Compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and WEEE 2002/96/EC standards.
• Halogen-free according to IEC 61249-2-21 definition.

Applications

• Printed circuit board assembly for general-purpose rectification.
• Power supply circuits requiring 50 V blocking voltage.
• Industrial equipment with high surge current demands.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'C2G' against official datasheets to confirm packing code and green compound specifications. Ensure compliance with UL Recognized File # E-326243 requirements for your application. Confirm that the matte tin plated leads meet JESD22-B102 solderability standards before integration into production lines.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 V peak reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 1.5 A continuous current capacity. The KBP-4 through-hole package is suitable for standard PCB mounting. Consider the thermal resistance values if operating near the upper temperature limits. Verify that the 50 A surge current rating meets the circuit's inrush requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KBP151G through KBP157G series of glass passivated bridge rectifiers. The series offers varying voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining consistent current and package characteristics. The 'G' suffix indicates halogen-free construction, and 'C2' denotes the specific packing code associated with the green compound variant.

Replacement Considerations

Other parts within the KBP15xG series (e.g., KBP152G, KBP153G) share identical mechanical and current specifications but differ in reverse voltage ratings. Ensure the replacement part matches or exceeds the 50 V requirement. Cross-referencing with other manufacturers' KBP-style bridge rectifiers requires verification of pinout and dimensional compatibility.
