VS-2KBB60

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The Vishay VS-2KBB60 is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier assembly rated for an average DC output current of 1.9 A at a case temperature of 45 °C. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 600 V and a typical peak reverse current of 10 μA at 25 °C. The device accommodates a non-repetitive surge current of 52 A at 60 Hz with a pulse duration of 5 ms. Electrical characteristics include a maximum peak forward voltage of 1.1 V at the rated load current. The component operates within a junction and storage temperature range of -40 to +150 °C.

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official documentation, as adding 'R' to the end indicates a different pin configuration. Confirm that the required operating conditions align with the specified thermal limits and electrical ratings before procurement. Ensure compliance with material categorization requirements by referencing the relevant Vishay documentation.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V rating is required for single-phase rectification. Verify that the application's ambient temperature allows for the full 1.9 A output current or adjust expectations based on derating curves. Consider the physical dimensions and through-hole mounting style during PCB layout planning.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This component belongs to the VS-2KBB series of single-phase diode bridge rectifiers manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 1.9 A current rating and D-37 package form factor across the lineup.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

The datasheet notes that the VS-2KBB series is equivalent to standard DIN parts. Cross-reference the DIN code B250C1500 for potential compatible alternatives from other manufacturers.
