KPC610 Bridge Rectifier 6A 1000V
The KBPC610 is a robust single-phase silicon bridge rectifier designed to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) with a maximum average output current of 6A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 1000V. Housed in a compact, industry-standard KBPC package with silver-plated copper leads, it offers easy chassis or PCB mounting and excellent thermal performance. The device is capable of handling peak forward surge currents up to 150A (8.3 ms single half-sine wave), making it suitable for applications with high inrush currents or transient overload conditions.
This bridge rectifier operates over a wide temperature range (-55°C to +125°C) and features low forward voltage drop (1.0V max at 3.0A per element) to minimize power loss. Its fully molded case provides mechanical strength and electrical isolation, while the polarity marking (beveled corner for positive lead) simplifies installation. The KBPC610 is UL recognized (file #142814) and can be mounted in any orientation, offering flexibility for space-constrained designs in power supplies, battery chargers, motor drives, and general-purpose AC-DC rectification circuits.
Features:
- Surge overload capability.
- Low forward voltage drop.
- Compact size and simple installation.
- Silver-plated copper leads for solderability and conductivity.
- Mounting in any position.
- UL recognized.
