KBP208G-G

Overview

The KBP208G-G is a single-phase glass-passivated bridge rectifier manufactured by Comchip Technology. It features an epoxy body compliant with UL flammability classification 94V-0 and utilizes glass passivation for junction protection against mechanical stress. The device is designed for printed circuit board mounting with high surge current capability. Key electrical specifications include a maximum average forward rectified current of 2.0 A at 75°C, a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 1000 V, and a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 60 A for a half-sine wave at 60 Hz lasting 8.3 ms.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction provides robust junction protection against mechanical stress.
• Epoxy molding compound meets UL flammability classification 94V-0 standards.
• Low forward voltage drop contributes to high efficiency during operation.
• High surge current capability supports demanding transient load conditions.

Applications
