KBPC15005-G

Overview

The KBPC15005-G is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Comchip Technology, designed for general-purpose power conversion applications. It features an average forward current rating of 15 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. The device utilizes a KBPC-W-4 package with screw mount installation style and through-hole termination. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at rated current and a surge current capability of 300 A. The component operates within a temperature range from -55°C to +150°C junction temperature, ensuring reliability in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Robust construction using silicon planar technology for high reliability
• High surge current capability for handling transient load conditions
• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency
• Screw mount design for secure mechanical attachment

Applications

• AC to DC power supply circuits
• Battery charging systems
• General purpose rectification in industrial equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet for the KBPC15005-G to confirm exact pinout configurations and thermal resistance values before integration. Ensure that the screw mounting torque specifications are strictly followed during assembly to prevent mechanical stress on the leads. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with the latest environmental declarations provided by Comchip Technology for regulatory adherence.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15 A current rating and 50 V blocking voltage are required in a screw-mountable bridge rectifier format. Compare the thermal performance against alternative packages if space constraints exist, as the KBPC-W-4 footprint may dictate board layout decisions. Verify that the operating ambient temperature allows for adequate heat dissipation given the 1.1 V forward voltage drop at full load.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KBPC series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Comchip Technology, which offers various current ratings including 10 A, 15 A, 25 A, and 50 A variants. The KBPC15005-G specifically fills the mid-range current requirement slot within this family, sharing common packaging and mounting characteristics with other members like the KBPC25005W-G while providing lower current capacity suitable for smaller power applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 15 A current rating, 50 V reverse voltage, and KBPC-W-4 package dimensions. Check for equivalent forward voltage drops and surge current ratings to ensure circuit compatibility. Verify that any substitute component supports screw mount installation and meets the same temperature operating range.
