KBPC1501T

Overview

The KBPC1501T is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier from GeneSiC Semiconductor, housed in the KBPC-T package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 100 V and a maximum average forward rectified current (IO) of 15 A. The device supports an operating junction temperature range of -55 to 150 °C. Key electrical characteristics include a typical junction capacitance of 300 pF and a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at Tc = 25 °C and IF = 7.5 A. The thermal resistance (RΘJC) is 2.3 °C/W when mounted on a specified copper heatsink.

Feature Summary

• High efficiency silicon junction construction
• Metal case encapsulation for robust mechanical protection
• Non-ESD sensitive design suitable for standard handling

Applications

• General purpose AC to DC rectification in power supplies
• Battery charging circuits requiring 100 V reverse blocking capability
• Industrial control systems utilizing resistive or inductive loads

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package variant (T vs W). Ensure the supplier provides the original datasheet for the exact part number to validate electrical ratings and mechanical dimensions. Cross-reference the manufacturer's marking code with the physical component to prevent counterfeit substitution.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V reverse voltage rating and 15 A continuous current capacity are required. The KBPC-T package offers a compact form factor with screw-mounting options. Consider the 1.1 V forward voltage drop for thermal management calculations. Verify that the application load type aligns with the specified derating requirements for capacitive loads.

Part Context

This model belongs to the KBPC1500 series of single-phase bridge rectifiers. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 400 V while maintaining consistent current and thermal characteristics. The KBPC1501T specifically denotes the 100 V version within this standardized product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 100 V VRRM, 15 A IO, and KBPC-T/W package footprint. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance specifications. Generic replacements should be confirmed against the original datasheet parameters to ensure equivalent performance in the target circuit.
