KBPC1506W-G

Overview

The KBPC1506W-G is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Comchip Technology. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 15A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage rating of 600V. The device utilizes a screw mount installation style with through-hole termination. It operates within a temperature range from -55°C to +150°C junction temperature. The component is housed in an isolated metal case designed for efficient heat dissipation and carries UL recognition.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junctions provide reliable operation and protection against voltage transients.
• Electrically isolated metal case facilitates maximum heat dissipation for high-current applications.
• High efficiency design ensures minimal power loss during the rectification process.

Applications

• Power supply units requiring 15A continuous current handling
• Battery charging circuits operating at 600V reverse voltage limits
• Industrial motor drive rectification stages

Procurement Notes

Verify compliance with RoHS directives before integration into environmentally regulated assemblies. Confirm that the screw mount package aligns with the target PCB or chassis thermal management strategy. Ensure the 15A current rating accommodates peak load conditions without exceeding thermal limits. Validate that the 600V reverse voltage provides sufficient margin for the specific circuit topology.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15A current capacity and 600V blocking voltage are required in a robust, thermally efficient package. The screw mount configuration is suitable for high-power boards where solder joint reliability under thermal cycling is critical. Compare the 15A rating against alternative models if lower current or different voltage ratings better match the system requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KBPC1506 series of bridge rectifiers from Comchip Technology. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining the 15A current capability. It shares the same physical footprint and mounting style as other variants in the family, allowing for potential pin-compatible upgrades or downgrades depending on voltage needs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the KBPC1504W-G (400V) or KBPC1508W-G (800V) from the same manufacturer, provided the voltage rating meets the circuit requirements. Cross-manufacturer equivalents must be verified for identical 15A current, 600V voltage, and screw mount package dimensions.
