VISHAY KBPC8 Single Phase Bridge Rectifier 400V 8A

The VISHAY KBPC8 Single Phase Bridge Rectifier is a 400V, 8A component designed to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) across a range of electronic applications.

Overview

Engineered with robust construction, this rectifier offers a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and an average forward current rating of 8 A, supporting reliable operation in demanding circuits. The maximum forward voltage drop is 1 V, which contributes to efficient power conversion and helps minimise energy loss.

Key Features

• Single phase bridge rectifier for AC to DC conversion
• Repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V
• Average forward current of 8 A
• Maximum forward voltage of 1 V
• Forward surge current capability of 125 A for protection against transient overloads
• Maximum operating temperature of 150°C
• Standard KBPC through-hole mount case with four pins for secure PCB integration

Applications

This bridge rectifier is a versatile solution for power supply units, battery chargers, and motor control circuits. Its single-phase design suits domestic appliances, industrial control systems, and DIY electronic projects that require stable DC output. The through-hole mounting style provides a strong mechanical and electrical connection, making it suitable for prototypes and production assemblies.

Dimensions and Weight

The rectifier measures 43 mm (H) x 33 mm (W) x 15 mm (D) and weighs 27 grams. Its maximum operating temperature of 150°C makes it suitable for environments where thermal management is a key consideration.
