KBPC1506W

Overview

The KBPC1506W is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier from the KBPC15 series manufactured by Good-Ark Semiconductor. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 600 V and an average rectified output current (IO) of 15 A at a case temperature of 55°C. The maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop per diode is 1.1 V at 7.5 A, with a maximum DC reverse current of 10 μA at rated blocking voltage. It supports a surge non-repetitive forward current of 300 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. The component utilizes tin-plated wire leads for through-hole mounting.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides mechanical strength and meets moisture resistance standards
• Electrically isolated base allows direct mounting to heatsinks without external insulators
• Low thermal resistance facilitates efficient heat dissipation
• High surge current capability ensures reliability during transient overload conditions

Applications

• AC-DC power supply circuits requiring 600V isolation
• Battery charging systems operating at 15A continuous load
• Industrial control equipment power stages
• General purpose rectification in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'W' corresponds to the wire lead configuration rather than standard FASTON terminals. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and REACH regulations as specified in the manufacturer documentation. Ensure the procurement quantity aligns with the manufacturer's standard packaging requirements to avoid handling variations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600V rating is required for single-phase bridge rectification. The 15A current capacity assumes operation with an appropriate heatsink maintaining the case temperature at 55°C or lower. Verify that the circuit's peak reverse voltage does not exceed the 600V limit under all operating conditions and transient states.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KBPC15 series of glass passivated bridge rectifiers. The series offers voltage ratings ranging from 50V to 1000V with a consistent 15A current rating. The 'W' suffix specifically denotes the wire lead variant, distinguishing it from the standard KBPC package which typically uses solderable FASTON terminals.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible replacements include other KBPC1506 variants from different manufacturers such as Comchip Technology or Taiwan Semiconductor, provided they match the 600V/15A specifications and physical terminal type.
