KBU1001-G

Overview

The KBU1001-G is a glass passivated bridge rectifier manufactured by Comchip Technology. It features a single-phase configuration with a maximum average forward rectified current of 8 Amperes and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 Volts. The device utilizes a KBU package designed for through-hole mounting with solder pin termination. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and includes an isolated case connection. The component meets RoHS compliance standards and carries UL recognition under file number E349301.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides protection against mechanical stress and chemical contamination.
• High surge overload capability ensures reliability during transient events.
• Low forward voltage drop contributes to improved efficiency in power conversion circuits.

Applications

• Adapters and chargers
• Battery chargers
• General purpose rectification

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet for the KBU1001-G to confirm current availability status, as distribution channels may vary. Ensure that the procurement source provides official documentation confirming RoHS compliance and UL recognition details. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components and verify the correct packaging format for your assembly requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8A bridge rectifier with a 50V reverse voltage rating is required for through-hole applications. The KBU package offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained designs. Consider the thermal management capabilities and the operating temperature range to ensure compatibility with the intended circuit environment and load conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the KBU series of bridge rectifiers from Comchip Technology. The series typically offers various voltage ratings while maintaining the 8A current capacity. The KBU package is distinct from other Comchip packages like GBPC or GBU, offering different physical dimensions and mounting characteristics suitable for specific PCB layout requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the KBPC805 (8A, 50V) or similar KBU-series parts from other manufacturers such as Littelfuse or Vishay. Verify that any replacement matches the 8A current rating, 50V reverse voltage, and KBU package outline dimensions to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability.
