VS-2KBP04

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The VS-2KBP04 is a single-phase encapsulated bridge rectifier from Vishay General Semiconductor, rated for a maximum DC output current of 2.0 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 400 V. It utilizes the D-44 through-hole package with four internal diodes configured as a full bridge. The device supports an operating junction temperature range of -40 °C to +150 °C and withstands non-repetitive surge currents up to 63 A at 60 Hz. Typical peak reverse leakage current is 10 µA at 25 °C, rising to 1.0 mA at 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 RoHS compliance status and material categorization details in the latest datasheet revision before finalizing procurement orders.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select the VS-2KBP04 when a 400 V blocking voltage and 2 A continuous current are required in a compact through-hole form factor. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified -40 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. Consider derating the output current if the ambient temperature exceeds 50 °C or if capacitive loads are present.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This component belongs to the VS-2KBP series of single-phase bridge rectifiers manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 2 A current rating and D-44 package style across different variants.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Vishay datasheet for direct cross-reference information. Verify that any substitute component matches the 400 V reverse voltage, 2 A current rating, and D-44 package dimensions to ensure physical and electrical compatibility.
