KBPC3501T

Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor KBPC3501T is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier designed for high-efficiency power conversion. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 35 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 400 A under standard half-sine wave conditions. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V per leg and a typical junction capacitance of 300 pF. Thermal performance is defined by a typical thermal resistance of 1.4 °C/W. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes a metal case encapsulation for robust mechanical stability and heat dissipation.
• Designed with a mounting hole compatible with #10 screws for secure PCB installation.
• Constructed using silicon junction technology without ESD sensitivity concerns.

Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC power supply circuits
• Industrial equipment requiring reliable single-phase rectification
• Power adapters and chargers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's documentation, as variations such as 'W' may indicate different package types or specifications. Confirm that the intended application aligns with the electrical ratings provided in the official datasheet. Ensure compliance with any relevant safety standards required for the final assembly. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to guarantee authenticity and traceability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 35 A continuous current rating and 100 V blocking voltage are required. Consider the 1.4 °C/W thermal resistance for heatsink calculations if operating near maximum limits. Verify that the physical dimensions fit the available board space. Compare the 400 A surge capability against potential inrush currents in the target circuit design to ensure adequate margin.

Part Context

The KBPC3501T belongs to the KBPC-T/W series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from GeneSiC Semiconductor. This series encompasses various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 400 V, all sharing the same 35 A current capacity. The 'T' designation typically refers to the through-hole package variant within this family.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 35 A, 100 V single-phase bridge rectifiers in the KBPC package style. Ensure replacement parts match the 1.1 V forward voltage drop and 1.4 °C/W thermal resistance to maintain original circuit performance and thermal management requirements.
