KBPC10/15/2502FP

Overview

The KBPC10/15/2502FP is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier from Diotec Semiconductor, rated for an average forward current of 15 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V. It features a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 300 A at 60 Hz and a typical reverse recovery time of approximately 1500 ns. The device utilizes a plastic case with an isolated aluminum baseplate and Fast-on terminals. Thermal resistance from junction to case is less than 2.0 K/W per device, supporting operation up to a maximum junction temperature of 150°C.

Feature Summary

• Four diodes integrated in a bridge configuration within a plastic housing featuring an isolated aluminum baseplate
• Available with either Fast-on or wire terminals for flexible assembly options
• Compliant with RoHS directives and REACH regulations

Applications

• 50/60 Hz mains rectification
• Commercial power supplies
• Industrial grade equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm terminal type and compliance status. The standard FP suffix indicates Fast-on terminals, while WP denotes wire terminals. Suffixes such as -Q or -AQ indicate AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Confirm UL recognition file E175067 if required for end-product certification. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified derating curves.

Selection Notes

Select based on the required AC input voltage and load current. The 15 A rating applies at a case temperature of 95°C; higher currents require lower case temperatures or external cooling fins. Verify that peak reverse voltage exceeds the circuit's maximum transient spikes. Consider the 300 A surge capability for inrush conditions. Check if automotive qualification is necessary for the target application environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the KBPC series of single-phase diode bridge rectifiers manufactured by Diotec Semiconductor. The series covers various current ratings including 10 A, 15 A, and 25 A variants. These devices are designed for general-purpose rectification in commercial and industrial applications, offering a robust solution for converting AC mains to DC power.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 15 A current rating, 200 V reverse voltage, and TO-220AB-like footprint. Verify terminal style compatibility (Fast-on vs. wire) and thermal resistance characteristics. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' KBPC-style bridge rectifiers ensuring identical pinout and mounting dimensions.
