KBPC1508W

Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor KBPC1508W is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier within the KBPC series, rated for a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 800 V and a maximum average forward rectified current of 15 A. It utilizes the KBPC-W package with through-hole solder pin termination. The device supports an operating temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C and withstands a peak forward surge current of 300 A. Key electrical parameters include a typical junction capacitance of 300 pF and a thermal resistance of 2.3 °C/W.

Feature Summary

• High efficiency silicon junction construction
• Metal case encapsulation for mechanical stability
• Non-ESD sensitive design

Applications

• General purpose AC to DC rectification in power supplies
• Industrial equipment requiring robust bridge rectification
• Resistive or inductive load circuits at 60 Hz

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity against official datasheets due to discontinuation status. Confirm package variant (KBPC-W) matches design requirements. Check RoHS compliance documentation prior to integration. Ensure sourcing channels provide valid traceability records for this end-of-life part number.

Selection Notes

Select based on 800 V reverse voltage rating and 15 A continuous current capability. Verify thermal management meets the 2.3 °C/W junction-to-case requirement. Consider derating for capacitive loads by 20%. Ensure mounting position accommodates #10 screw hole specifications.

Part Context

This component belongs to the KBPC1506T/W through KBPC1510T/W family of single-phase bridge rectifiers. The KBPC1508W specifically denotes the 800 V variant within this series, sharing identical physical dimensions and thermal characteristics with adjacent voltage ratings like the KBPC1506T/W.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Cross-reference with other KBPC series variants only if voltage ratings align with system requirements.
