KBPC601

Overview

The Diotec Semiconductor KBPC601 is a single-phase diode bridge rectifier designed for commercial and industrial applications. It features an average forward current (IFAV) of 6 A at 50°C ambient temperature and a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 125 A under standard half-sine-wave conditions. The device has a maximum repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) of 100 V, with a typical forward voltage drop below 1.2 V at 3 A. Key electrical characteristics include a leakage current under 5 µA and a typical reverse recovery time of 1500 ns. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 3.3 K/W, while junction-to-ambient resistance is 22 K/W. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -50°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Single-phase bridge rectifier configuration suitable for general-purpose power conversion
• High thermal stability with a maximum junction temperature rating of 150°C
• Low forward voltage drop to minimize conduction losses during operation
• Robust surge current handling capability for transient protection

Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC power supply circuits
• Industrial equipment requiring reliable low-voltage rectification
• Commercial electronic devices utilizing standard silicon bridge technology

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official Diotec documentation to confirm exact ratings and compliance status. Confirm RoHS and ELV compliance requirements match project specifications. Check for any recent product changes or datasheet updates on the manufacturer's website before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6 A continuous current rating and 100 V reverse voltage are required in a through-hole package. Ensure the application environment allows for adequate heat dissipation given the 22 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Consider the 1500 ns reverse recovery time for frequency limitations in the circuit design.

Part Context

The KBPC601 belongs to the KBPC600...KBPC610 series from Diotec Semiconductor, which covers various reverse voltage ratings for single-phase bridge rectifiers. This series is standardized for commercial and industrial grade reliability. The KBPC601 specifically provides the 100 V variant within this lineup, sharing identical current and thermal characteristics with other members of the family.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with Vishay VS-KBPC601 PBF for potential compatibility, as it shares similar 6 A and 100 V specifications. Verify pinout alignment and thermal performance metrics before substitution.
