VS-2KBP005

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The VS-2KBP005 is a single-phase encapsulated bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It consists of four single diodes connected as a full bridge, designed for general applications in industrial and consumer equipment. The device features a D-44 package with a maximum DC output current (Io) of 2.0 A at an ambient temperature of 50 °C under resistive or inductive load conditions. Its maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) is rated at 50 V, with a maximum non-repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRSM) of 50 V and a recommended RMS supply voltage of 20 V. The component supports a maximum peak forward voltage per diode of 1.0 V at 1 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -40 to +150 °C.

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official Vishay documentation to ensure compliance with electrical ratings and mechanical specifications. Confirm that the D-44 package dimensions align with the target PCB layout requirements. Check for RoHS3 compliance status through the manufacturer's material categorization resources before finalizing procurement decisions.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select the VS-2KBP005 when a 50 V peak reverse voltage rating is required for single-phase rectification. Ensure the application load remains within the 2.0 A continuous current limit at 50 °C ambient temperature for resistive or inductive loads. Consider the thermal derating curves if operating under capacitive loads or higher ambient temperatures to maintain reliability.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

The VS-2KBP005 belongs to the VS-2KBP series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Vishay. This series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 2 A current capacity and D-44 package style. The series is designed for general-purpose rectification tasks in both industrial and consumer electronics applications.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other components in the VS-2KBP series for different voltage ratings if system requirements change. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints due to the standardized D-44 package across the series.
