KBPC10/15/2516WP

Overview

The Diotec KBPC10/15/2516WP is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier designed for commercial and industrial applications. It features wire terminals (WP) and an isolated aluminum baseplate within a plastic case. The device supports a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1600 V and offers rated forward currents of 10 A, 15 A, or 25 A depending on the specific sub-model variant. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage drop below 1.2 V, a peak forward surge current ranging from 200 A to 300 A based on the current rating, and a typical reverse recovery time of approximately 1500 ns. The component operates with a maximum junction temperature of 150°C.

Feature Summary

• Four diodes integrated in a bridge configuration
• Plastic case construction with an isolated aluminum baseplate
• UL recognized under File E175067
• Compliant with RoHS directives and REACH regulations

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact current rating suffix (10A, 15A, or 25A) required for the specific application design. Confirm that the wire terminal (WP) package style matches the assembly requirements. Ensure the selected part meets the necessary thermal management standards for the intended operating environment.

Selection Notes

Select the appropriate current rating variant based on the load requirements and cooling conditions. The device requires consideration of the thermal resistance from junction to case, which is less than 2.0 K/W per device. Designers must ensure that superimposed voltage peaks do not exceed the specified repetitive peak reverse voltage limits during operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the KBPC series of single-phase diode bridge rectifiers manufactured by Diotec Semiconductor. The series includes various voltage ratings and current capacities, utilizing either fast-on or wire terminals. The WP suffix specifically denotes the wire terminal version, distinguishing it from the FP fast-on terminal variant within the same family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other KBPC series bridge rectifiers from Diotec or equivalent components from manufacturers offering similar 1600V, 15A specifications in a wire-terminal plastic package with an isolated metal base.
