KBPM201G

Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor KBPM201G is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier designed for PCB mounting in the KBPM package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 100 V and a continuous forward current (IF) of 2 A. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, with a maximum storage temperature of the same range. Key electrical characteristics include a diode forward voltage (VF) of 1.1 V at IF = 2 A and a reverse current (IR) of 50 µA at VR = 100 V and Tj = 125°C. The thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RthJA) is 14.0 °C/W. The component supports a surge non-repetitive forward current of 65 A.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes molded plastic construction with Underwriters Laboratory Flammability Classification 94V-0
• Designed specifically for printed circuit board mounting using the KBPM package
• Features tin-plated copper leads that are solderable per MIL-STD-208

Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC power supply rectification
• Low-voltage bridge rectifier circuits requiring high-temperature stability
• PCB-mounted power conversion modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix G against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm material composition and compliance status. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact voltage and current ratings required for the target application. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to guarantee access to the most recent mechanical and electrical specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select the KBPM201G when a 100 V reverse voltage rating and 2 A continuous forward current are sufficient for the load requirements. Consider the 14.0 °C/W thermal resistance for heat dissipation calculations in enclosed PCB layouts. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range to ensure reliable long-term performance.

Part Context

This component belongs to the KBPM2005G through KBPM204G series of silicon bridge rectifiers manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. The series offers varying reverse voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 2 A forward current capability. These devices share identical mechanical dimensions and thermal characteristics, differing primarily in their blocking voltage specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 100 V VRRM, 2 A IF, and KBPM package outline. Verify that substitute components support the same 150°C maximum junction temperature and similar forward voltage drops to maintain circuit efficiency.
