KBP202G C2

Overview

The KBP202G C2 is a single-phase bridge rectifier from Taiwan Semiconductor, utilizing glass passivation and a molded plastic KBP case. It supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 2 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 200 V. The device features a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.2 V at 2 A and withstands a peak forward surge current of 60 A. Operating junction temperatures range from -55 °C to +150 °C, with a typical thermal resistance of 8 °C/W (junction-to-lead).

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction structure for improved stability and reliability.
• Molded plastic construction rated UL flammability classification 94V-0.
• Halogen-free compliant according to IEC 61249-2-21 definition.
• Matte tin plated leads ensuring solderability per JESD22-B102.

Applications

• Printed circuit board mounting in general-purpose power supplies.
• AC to DC conversion circuits requiring high surge current capability.
• Industrial equipment operating within extended temperature ranges.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm packing codes and material specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements if applicable to the target assembly. Cross-reference the document number DS_D1311019 Version E13 for the most current electrical ratings and mechanical dimensions before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2 A continuous current rating and 200 V blocking voltage are required for through-hole applications. The KBP package provides robust mechanical support for PCB mounting. Consider the 60 A surge capability for inrush protection scenarios. Verify that the 1.2 V forward voltage drop aligns with the system's efficiency targets under full load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KBP20xG series, which includes variants ranging from 50 V to 1000 V reverse voltage ratings. The 'C2' suffix indicates a tube packing configuration with green compound molding. All members of this family share identical electrical characteristics except for their voltage ratings, allowing for standardized design layouts across different voltage levels.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' KBP202G equivalents meeting the same 2 A / 200 V specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and physical dimensions to ensure interchangeability without PCB modifications.
