KBPC10/15/2514WP

Overview

The KBPC10/15/2514WP is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier from the Diotec KBPC series, rated for a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 1400 V. It offers nominal forward currents of 10 A, 15 A, or 25 A depending on thermal conditions, with a maximum forward voltage drop (VF) below 1.2 V. The device features wire terminals (WP suffix) and operates within a junction temperature range up to 150°C. Key electrical parameters include a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 300 A at 50 Hz and a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of approximately 1500 ns.

Feature Summary

• Four diodes integrated in a bridge configuration housed in a plastic case with an isolated aluminum baseplate
• Wire terminals (WP) designed for solder assembly per JESD22-B102E and JESD22-B106C standards
• UL recognized component under File E175067

Applications

• 50/60 Hz mains rectification
• General power supplies
• Commercial and industrial grade equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific current rating required for your application, as the KBPC10/15/2514WP designation covers multiple current variants (10A, 15A, 25A). Confirm that the wire terminal (WP) package matches your PCB layout requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS exemption 7a-I if applicable to your manufacturing process. Check for any specific REACH or conflict mineral declarations needed for your supply chain documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high reverse voltage blocking capability (1400 V) is required in a standard bridge rectifier form factor. The WP suffix indicates wire leads suitable for through-hole mounting via soldering. Consider the thermal resistance and derating curves if operating near the maximum case temperature limits. Verify that the 1500 ns reverse recovery time is acceptable for your switching frequency or line frequency application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Diotec KBPC10/15/25 series, which provides various voltage ratings from 100 V to 1800 V. The '14' in the model number specifically denotes the 1400 V voltage rating. The series is available in both Fast-on (FP) and Wire (WP) terminal configurations, allowing flexibility in mechanical integration for different power supply designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 1400 V VRRM, similar IFAV ratings, and wire terminal package. Other manufacturers offering KBPC-style bridge rectifiers with identical pinouts and electrical specifications should be verified against the Diotec datasheet for thermal and surge current compatibility.
