KBU8D-M3/P

Overview

The KBU8D-M3/P is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features an average rectified output current of 8 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V. The device utilizes glass passivation for junction protection and is housed in the KBU through-hole package. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 950 mV at 8 A, a reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 200 V, and a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 300 A. It operates within a junction temperature range of -50°C to 150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides improved stability under harsh conditions and protects against mechanical stress.

Applications

• General purpose AC-to-DC full-wave rectification
• Switching power supplies
