KBP155G C2

Overview

The KBP155G C2 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor. It features glass passivation and operates with a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.5 A. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V, with a corresponding maximum RMS voltage of 420 V and DC blocking voltage of 600 V. It exhibits a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1.5 A and a peak forward surge current capability of 50 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave. The component utilizes a KBP-4 through-hole package and functions within an operating junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated construction for improved stability and reliability
• Molded plastic case rated UL flammability classification 94V-0
• Compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and WEEE 2002/96/EC standards
• Halogen-free composition according to IEC 61249-2-21 definition

Applications

• Printed circuit board assembly for AC to DC conversion
• General purpose power supply rectification
• Industrial equipment requiring high surge current handling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'C2' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm packing code and green compound specifications. Ensure compliance requirements such as halogen-free status and RoHS directives match the project constraints. Confirm that the through-hole mounting style and lead finish are suitable for the intended manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 1.5 A continuous current capacity. The KBP-4 package is appropriate for applications needing robust mechanical support and high thermal performance. Consider the 50 A surge current rating for circuits experiencing significant inrush currents during startup phases.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KBP15xG series from Taiwan Semiconductor, which includes variants ranging from 50 V to 1000 V reverse voltage ratings. All members of this family share identical electrical characteristics regarding current and surge capabilities, differing only in their voltage blocking limits. The series is designed for general-purpose rectification in compact electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Other parts within the KBP15xG series (e.g., KBP154G, KBP156G) offer different voltage ratings but maintain the same current and package specifications. Verify that any substitute component matches the 600 V requirement and the KBP-4 footprint dimensions.
