KBPC2506

Overview

The Good-Ark Semiconductor KBPC2506 is a glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier from the KBPC25 series. It provides an average rectified output current of 25 A at a case temperature of 55°C and supports a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. The device features a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.1 V per diode at 12.5 A and handles a surge non-repetitive forward current of 400 A. It utilizes tin-plated leads for solderability and offers electrical isolation with a dielectric strength of 1800 V between terminals and case.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation ensures stable electrical performance and reliability
• Electrically isolated base rated at 1800 V for safety
• Low thermal resistance design facilitates efficient heat dissipation
• Capable of mounting in any position for flexible integration

Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC power supply conversion
• Battery charging circuits requiring high surge tolerance
• Industrial equipment power modules

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required voltage rating of 600 V and current capacity of 25 A. Confirm package dimensions against the KBPC outline, specifically checking lead spacing and hole diameter for PCB compatibility. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards if applicable to the assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust single-phase bridge rectifier is needed for applications involving significant inrush currents. The 400 A surge rating makes it suitable for systems with high capacitive loads. Consider the thermal resistance and heatsinking requirements to maintain the junction temperature within the specified operating range during continuous operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the KBPC25 series of silicon bridge rectifiers manufactured by Good-Ark Semiconductor. The series covers voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 25 A current capability. The KBPC2506 specifically addresses mid-range voltage applications within this family.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering KBPC2506 equivalents. Verify that substitute parts match the 600 V reverse voltage, 25 A forward current, and physical footprint dimensions to ensure direct interchangeability without PCB modification.
