KBU602G

Overview

The KBU602G is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It utilizes glass passivated junctions and is housed in a KBU through-hole package with four terminals. The device supports an average forward current of 6 A and withstands a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V. Electrical characteristics include a typical peak reverse current of less than 0.1 μA, a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 175 A at 60 Hz, and a peak forward voltage of 1 V. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary
