KBPC25005W

Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor KBPC25005W is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier housed in the KBPC-W package. It supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 25 A and offers a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. The device features a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V per leg at 12.5 A and a typical junction capacitance of 300 pF. It withstands a peak forward surge current of 350 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 1.9 °C/W, with an operating temperature range spanning -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes a metal case encapsulation designed for efficient heat dissipation.
• Features a mounting hole compatible with #10 screws for secure installation.
• Constructed with silicon junctions that are not ESD sensitive.

Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC power supply circuits
• Industrial equipment requiring robust bridge rectification
• Consumer electronics utilizing standard voltage levels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against manufacturer documentation to confirm terminal configuration and package variant. Ensure thermal management solutions align with the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance values under actual operating conditions. Confirm compliance with relevant safety standards required for the target application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 25 A continuous current rating and 50 V reverse voltage capability are required. The KBPC-W package provides distinct mechanical mounting options compared to the KBPC-T variant. Evaluate thermal performance based on the 1.9 °C/W resistance value and ensure the heatsink design maintains junction temperatures within the specified -55 °C to +150 °C operational limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KBPC25005T/W series, which includes variants ranging from 50 V to 400 V reverse voltage ratings. All members of this series share identical current handling capabilities and physical dimensions, differing primarily in their voltage blocking specifications. The W suffix denotes the specific KBPC-W package style used for mounting and terminal configuration.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' parts within the KBPC-25A form factor offering 50 V reverse voltage. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance characteristics. Cross-reference datasheets to ensure equivalent surge current ratings and forward voltage drops match the original design requirements.
