VS-2KBB20R

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The VS-2KBB20R is a single-phase bridge rectifier from the Vishay 2KBB series, rated for an average output current of 1.9 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 200 V. It consists of four silicon junction diodes in a plastic encapsulation with a polarized package configuration. The device features leads on a standard 2.54 mm grid for printed circuit board mounting. Electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive surge current of 52 A at 60 Hz and a typical peak forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1.9 A. Operating temperatures range from -40 °C to +150 °C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Polarized package design ensures correct orientation during installation
• Leads arranged on a standard 2.54 mm grid for PCB compatibility
• High surge current capability supports transient load conditions
• Equivalent to standard DIN parts for direct replacement

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• Industrial equipment power supplies
• Consumer electronics AC-to-DC conversion
• General purpose rectification circuits

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official documentation to confirm pin configuration. The 'R' designation indicates a specific polarity arrangement distinct from standard variants. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer datasheets or component markings before integration into production assemblies.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200 V reverse voltage rating and 1.9 A continuous current are required. Ensure the application operates within the specified -40 °C to +150 °C temperature range. Verify that the PCB layout accommodates the 2.54 mm lead spacing and the physical dimensions of the D-37 package style.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This component belongs to the Vishay 2KBB series of single-phase rectifier bridges. The series offers various voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 1.9 A current rating and compact plastic encapsulation format designed for through-hole mounting on standard grids.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

DIN code B80C1500 serves as a functional equivalent for voltage and current specifications. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution, as the 'R' suffix denotes a specific terminal arrangement that may differ from standard equivalents.
