VS-KBPC101

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The VS-KBPC101 is a single-phase rectifier bridge from the Vishay VS-KBPC1 series, featuring four silicon junctions in a full-bridge configuration. It provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and supports an average output current of 3.0 A at a case temperature of 50 °C with resistive or inductive loads. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -40 to +150 °C and utilizes the D-72 package for mounting.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Compact construction design
• High surge current capability

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• Industrial equipment
• Consumer equipment

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official Vishay documentation to ensure compliance with required electrical ratings. Confirm that the D-72 package dimensions align with the target PCB layout or chassis mounting requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V reverse voltage rating and 3.0 A continuous current are sufficient for the application. Ensure the thermal management strategy maintains the case temperature at or below 50 °C to achieve the rated average output current under resistive or inductive load conditions.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This component belongs to the VS-KBPC1 series, which offers average output currents ranging from 3.0 A to 6.0 A and peak reverse voltages from 50 V to 1000 V. All devices in this series share the same D-72 package form factor and general structural characteristics defined in the manufacturer's datasheet.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other parts within the VS-KBPC1 series, such as the VS-KBPC1005 (50 V) or VS-KBPC102 (200 V), provided the voltage rating meets or exceeds the circuit requirements while maintaining the 3.0 A current capacity.
