KBP152G C2G

Overview

The KBP152G C2G is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor. It features glass-passivated silicon die within a molded plastic KBP-4 case, designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.5 A and offers a peak repetitive reverse voltage rating of 200 V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1.5 A, a peak forward surge current capability of 50 A, and a maximum DC reverse current of 10 µA at rated blocking voltage. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides reliable low-cost construction with high surge current capability
• Compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and WEEE 2002/96/EC standards
• Halogen-free molding compound meets IEC 61249-2-21 definition with UL flammability rating 94V-0
• Matte tin plated leads are solderable per JESD22-B102 and meet JESD 201 class 1A whisker test

Applications

• Printed circuit board assembly for general-purpose power supply applications
• AC to DC conversion in electronic equipment requiring 200V isolation
• Industrial control systems operating within standard ambient temperature ranges

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm packing code and material composition. Ensure the procurement documentation explicitly references the halogen-free status and RoHS compliance as defined in the product specifications. Confirm that the terminal plating matches the matte tin specification required for your soldering process. Cross-reference the part number with the approved vendor list to ensure authenticity and traceability of the manufacturing batch.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1.5 A continuous current rating and 200 V reverse voltage blocking capability are required for single-phase rectification. The KBP-4 package is suitable for applications needing robust mechanical stability and high thermal resistance. Consider the 50 A surge current rating for circuits with significant inrush currents. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range to maintain performance reliability.

Part Context

This component belongs to the KBP15xG series of glass-passivated bridge rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series covers voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V, sharing identical physical dimensions and electrical characteristics except for the reverse voltage rating. The 'C2' suffix indicates a green compound packaging variant, while 'G' denotes the halogen-free material composition. This family is designed for cost-effective, high-reliability AC-to-DC conversion in consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include KBP151G, KBP153G, KBP154G, KBP155G, KBP156G, and KBP157G, provided the voltage rating meets or exceeds the circuit requirements. Ensure any replacement maintains the KBP-4 package outline and through-hole termination style for direct PCB compatibility.
