KBPC1504W

Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor KBPC1504W is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier designed for through-hole mounting in the KBPC-W package. It supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 15 A and offers a repetitive peak reverse voltage rating of 400 V. The device features a peak forward surge current capability of 300 A under standard half-sine wave conditions. Electrical characteristics include a typical junction capacitance of 500 pF and a thermal resistance of 2.3 °C/W. The unit operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Metal encapsulation case provides structural integrity and efficient heat dissipation.
• Silicon junction construction ensures high efficiency during rectification.
• Mechanical design includes a mounting hole compatible with #10 screws.

Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC power supply conversion
• Industrial control systems requiring robust rectification
• Power supplies operating at frequencies up to 60 Hz

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as GeneSiC Semiconductor has undergone corporate restructuring and brand transitions. Confirm that the component matches the original datasheet specifications regarding the KBPC-W package variant. Ensure compliance with relevant RoHS directives and verify the authenticity of the marking on the physical component against official documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15 A continuous current rating and 400 V reverse voltage are required for single-phase applications. The KBPC-W package is suitable for designs needing screw-mounting capabilities alongside standard lead-through-hole connections. Consider the 2.3 °C/W thermal resistance for heatsink calculations if operating near maximum ratings.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KBPC series of single-phase bridge rectifiers, which covers a voltage range from 50 V to 400 V. The KBPC1504W specifically denotes the 400 V variant within the 15 A current class. The 'W' suffix indicates the wire-lead configuration, distinct from the 'T' terminal-only version.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 15 A current, 400 V voltage, and KBPC-W package dimensions. Verify that substitute components maintain the same 300 A surge current rating and thermal resistance characteristics to ensure circuit compatibility.
