KBP204G C2

Overview

The KBP204G C2 is a glass-passivated bridge rectifier from the KBP series manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 2 A. The device features a peak forward surge current capability of 60 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.2 V at 2 A and a maximum DC reverse current of 500 μA at 125°C. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation protects the junctions against mechanical stress
• Utilizes molded plastic technique for reliable low-cost construction
• 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 mounting for general-purpose rectification
• Power supply circuits requiring high surge current capability
• Industrial equipment utilizing standard bridge rectifier configurations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'C2' corresponds to the tube packing configuration as indicated in the manufacturer's preferred part number table. Confirm that the 'G' suffix denotes the green compound material used in the molding process. Ensure compliance requirements such as UL recognition file E-326243 are documented for your specific application needs before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 400 V reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 2 A continuous forward current capacity. The KBP package offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained designs compared to larger through-hole alternatives. Consider the thermal resistance values if operating near the upper limits of the specified ambient temperature range.

Part Context

This component belongs to the KBP series of glass-passivated bridge rectifiers produced by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. The series encompasses multiple voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V, sharing identical physical dimensions and electrical current capabilities. The KBP204G variant specifically addresses applications requiring 400 V blocking capability within this standardized product family.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other KBP204 variants from different manufacturers that match the 400 V reverse voltage and 2 A forward current specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and case dimensions to ensure direct replacement without PCB layout modifications.
