KBPC15005W-G

Overview

The KBPC15005W-G is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Comchip Technology, designed for high-efficiency power conversion. It features an average forward current rating of 15 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at rated current and supports a non-repetitive peak surge current of 300 A. Electrical isolation is provided via a metal case construction. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C junction temperature. It utilizes a KBPC-W-4 package with screw mount installation and through-hole termination, measuring 28.8 mm in length and width, with a height of 11.23 mm.

Feature Summary

• Electrically isolated metal case design facilitates maximum heat dissipation for thermal stability.
• Glass passivated chip junctions ensure high efficiency and reliable performance under varying conditions.
• Robust mechanical construction supports screw mounting for secure PCB integration.

Applications

• General purpose AC to DC power supply circuits
• Battery charging systems requiring low voltage rectification
• Industrial control power modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'W' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm physical dimensions and terminal configuration match your enclosure requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if environmental regulations apply to your assembly process. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm current availability and lead times before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15 A continuous current capacity and 50 V blocking voltage are required in a standard bridge rectifier form factor. The KBPC-W-4 package offers a balance between current handling and board space. Consider the 1.1 V forward voltage drop for thermal management calculations in low-voltage applications where efficiency impacts system performance significantly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KBPC series of glass passivated bridge rectifiers from Comchip Technology. The series typically spans various current ratings from 1 A to 50 A and voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V. The KBPC15005W-G specifically addresses the 15 A / 50 V segment, providing a standardized solution for general-purpose rectification tasks in commercial and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible alternatives include the KBPC15005G from Diodes Incorporated or Lite-On, which share similar electrical specifications and pinout configurations. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same KBPC-W-4 package dimensions and screw-mount compatibility to ensure seamless integration into existing designs without mechanical modifications.
