Product details
Overview
KBJ4005G from Diodes Incorporated is a 4.0A, 50V standard recovery bridge rectifier in a KBJ through-hole package, featuring 1.0V max forward voltage at 2.0A, 5.0µA max reverse leakage at 25°C, 1500VRMS dielectric strength, and 120A peak surge rating-used for AC-to-DC conversion in offline power supplies and industrial control power stages.
For engineers reviewing the KBJ4005G datasheet, KBJ4005G pinout, KBJ4005G application, or KBJ4005G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50V VRRM rating, thermal resistance of 5.5°C/W (junction-to-case), glass-passivated die construction, UL recognition (E95060), and RoHS-compliant tin-plated leads suitable for PCB mounting with #6 screw.
Technical Context
This single-phase full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a common molded plastic (UL 94V-0) KBJ package with polarity marked on the body. It operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature and delivers 4.0A average output current when heatsinked per specification.
The device exhibits standard recovery behavior (no soft-recovery or fast-recovery optimization), with 40pF typical junction capacitance at 1MHz/4V reverse bias and I²t fusing rating of 60A²s for 8.3ms half-sine surges-enabling robust handling of line transients in non-switching or low-frequency rectification circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage; defines safe AC input voltage limit before breakdown. |
| IF(AV) | 4.0 A - Average rectified output current with heatsink; sets continuous DC load capability in linear power supplies. |
| VF Max | 1.0 V @ 2.0A - Forward voltage drop; determines conduction loss (2.0W max at rated current) and thermal design margin. |
| IR Max | 5.0 µA @ 25°C - Reverse leakage current; ensures minimal standby power loss and stable blocking in high-impedance circuits. |
| IFSM | 120 A - Peak forward surge current (8.3ms); supports inrush tolerance during cold-start of transformer-based supplies. |
| RθJC | 5.5 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables heatsink sizing using 75mm × 75mm × 1.6mm Al plate reference. |
| VRMS | 35 V - Maximum RMS input voltage; correlates directly to 50V VRRM for sinusoidal AC waveform derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: KBJ molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), through-hole mountable with #6 screw, tin-plated leads, 4.6g weight, polarity marked on body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| ~AC2 | AC Input Terminal 2 | Second leg of AC input; completes AC path for full-wave rectification with ~AC1. |
| +DC | Positive DC Output | Anode-side output node; delivers pulsating positive DC to filter capacitor and regulator stage. |
| -DC | Negative DC Output / Common Return | Cathode-side return path; serves as circuit ground reference for downstream DC loads. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar standard recovery bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU4A | Same 4.0A/50V rating, GBU package (larger footprint, higher RθJC ≈ 7.0°C/W). | Requires larger PCB area; less thermally efficient without heatsink. | Prefer when existing layout accommodates GBU outline and no heatsink is used. |
| KBU4A | Identical KBJ package, same electrical specs, but obsolete per Diodes' PDN-2023-017. | No active supply chain; not recommended for new designs. | Select KBJ4005G for guaranteed availability and RoHS compliance. |
Compared with GBU4A and KBU4A, KBJ4005G offers superior thermal performance (5.5°C/W vs. 7.0°C/W), modern RoHS compliance, and active production status-making it optimal for new industrial and appliance designs requiring long-term component continuity.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for KBJ4005G?
KBJ4005G has a specified junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Its thermal resistance is 5.5°C/W (junction-to-case), so sustained operation at 150°C requires proper heatsinking per the 75mm × 75mm × 1.6mm aluminum plate reference condition in the datasheet.
Is KBJ4005G suitable for use without a heatsink?
KBJ4005G can operate without an external heatsink at reduced current levels-typically ≤1.5A average-depending on ambient temperature and PCB copper area. At full 4.0A rating, the datasheet mandates mounting on the specified 75mm × 75mm × 1.6mm aluminum heatsink to maintain TJ ≤150°C.
Does KBJ4005G meet automotive qualification standards?
KBJ4005G is not AEC-Q101 qualified. Diodes states that automotive-grade variants require specific change control, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing-contact their automotive team for qualified alternatives like the KBJ4005G-AU series if automotive use is required.
How does the 1500VRMS dielectric strength impact system-level safety?
The 1500VRMS isolation rating certifies safe insulation between AC input terminals and DC output terminals under transient overvoltage conditions per UL/IEC standards. This enables direct use in Class II (double-insulated) power supplies without additional creepage/clearance barriers on the PCB.
