Product details
Overview
KBJ3506 from Diodes Incorporated is a 35A standard recovery bridge rectifier in KBJ package, rated for 600V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 1.05V max forward voltage at 17.5A, and 10µA max leakage current at 25°C. It features glass-passivated die construction, RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads, and is designed for high-reliability AC/DC power conversion in TV, PC, and game console power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the KBJ3506 datasheet, KBJ3506 pinout, KBJ3506 application, or KBJ3506 equivalent, this device supports high-current, medium-voltage rectification with verified thermal resistance (RθJA = 28°C/W without heatsink), IFSM = 380A surge rating, and AEC-Q200-ready manufacturing capability for automotive-adjacent power systems.
Technical Context
This single-phase full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a monolithic KBJ molded plastic package with four external terminals (AC1, AC2, +, –). Its standard recovery characteristic (trr not specified but implied by "standard recovery" classification) targets line-frequency (50/60Hz) applications where fast switching is unnecessary and cost-effective thermal performance is prioritized.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, delivers 35A average forward current with heatsink at TC = +95°C, and exhibits 165pF typical junction capacitance at 1MHz/4V reverse bias - confirming suitability for low-noise, non-switching rectification rather than high-frequency PFC stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage the bridge withstands without breakdown during AC line peaks. |
| IF(AV) | 35 A - Average DC output current deliverable with heatsink at case temperature ≤95°C. |
| VF Max | 1.05 V @ 17.5A - Forward voltage drop per half-bridge path, defining conduction loss at rated half-load. |
| IR Max | 10 µA @ 25°C - Reverse leakage current per diode leg, critical for standby power integrity in offline SMPS inputs. |
| IFSM | 380 A - Non-repetitive surge current handling for 8.3ms half-sine, enabling robust inrush tolerance. |
| RθJA | 28 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance without heatsink, setting PCB copper area requirements. |
| TJ Range | –55°C to +150°C - Operational junction temperature window supporting industrial and extended-temperature environments. |
Pinout & Package

Applications
| TV Power Supply | PC ATX Power Supply |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Primary-side AC/DC rectification in 100–300W off-line switch-mode power supplies for LCD/LED TVs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Full-wave bridge rectifier converting 100–240V AC mains to unregulated DC bus (~140–340V). Use Value: 35A rating and 600V VRRM ensure margin over 264VAC peak (373V), while 1.05V VF minimizes conduction loss at 15–25A typical load. | Use Scenario: Bulk rectification stage in ATX main +12V/+5V/+3.3V power distribution. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current bridge delivering DC input to PFC controller and primary-side MOSFETs. Use Value: 380A IFSM handles transformer inrush and transient surges; RθJA = 28°C/W allows direct mounting on chassis or minimal heatsinking. |
| Game Console Power Adapter | Industrial AC-DC Module |
Use Scenario: Compact external power adapter for gaming consoles requiring 12–24V/5–10A DC output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input rectifier feeding flyback or resonant converter operating at 50/60Hz line frequency. Use Value: KBJ package enables automated PCB assembly; glass passivation ensures reliability under variable ambient humidity and thermal stress. | Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted AC-DC power module for PLC I/O or sensor interface power rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Robust front-end rectifier in wide-input (85–305VAC) industrial power supplies. Use Value: –55°C to +150°C TJ range supports operation in uncontrolled enclosures; UL recognition simplifies system-level safety approval. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU15K | Same KBU/KBJ footprint, 15A rating, 1000V VRRM, VF = 1.1V @ 7.5A. | Lower current capacity limits use to ≤15A average loads; higher VRRM suits 305VAC industrial inputs. | Select when lower cost and higher voltage margin outweigh current requirement. |
| KBPC3510 | Round-body KBPC package, 35A/1000V, VF = 1.1V @ 17.5A, RθJA = 30°C/W. | Requires different PCB footprint and mounting; slightly higher VF and thermal resistance reduce efficiency vs. KBJ3506. | Choose only if legacy KBPC layout compatibility is mandatory and 1000V rating is essential. |
Compared with GBU15K and KBPC3510, KBJ3506 provides optimal balance of 35A current delivery, 600V rating for universal-input consumer designs, lowest VF (1.05V), and best thermal resistance (RθJA = 28°C/W), making it preferred for space-constrained, high-efficiency TV/PC power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum case temperature for continuous 35A operation?
KBJ3506 delivers 35A average forward current only when mounted on an adequate heatsink and maintained at TC ≤ +95°C. Without heatsink, its derated current drops to 3.5A at TC = +125°C, as shown in Figure 1 of the datasheet. Thermal design must ensure junction temperature remains within –55°C to +150°C limits.
Is KBJ3506 suitable for high-frequency switching applications like PFC or LLC resonant converters?
No - KBJ3506 is a standard recovery bridge rectifier with no specified reverse recovery time (trr), indicating it is optimized for 50/60Hz line-frequency rectification. Its 165pF junction capacitance and lack of soft-recovery characteristics make it unsuitable for high-frequency (>20kHz) switching stages where reverse recovery losses dominate.
Does KBJ3506 meet automotive qualification standards such as AEC-Q101?
KBJ3506 itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified, but Diodes states that automotive-grade versions with AEC-Q101/200 qualification, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing are available upon request. Standard KBJ3506 is intended for industrial and consumer applications, not safety-critical automotive ECUs.
How does the "Green" material designation impact PCB assembly and reliability?
The "Green" designation confirms halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (<900ppm Br, <900ppm Cl, <1000ppm Sb), which eliminates corrosive halogen gas emission during soldering and improves long-term insulation resistance. This enhances reliability in humid environments and meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for reflow compatibility.
