Product details
Overview
KBJ408G from Diodes Incorporated is a 4.0A, 800V 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, 120A peak surge rating, and UL 94V-0 molded plastic housing-used for AC/DC conversion in offline power supplies and industrial motor controls.
For engineers reviewing the KBJ408G datasheet, KBJ408G pinout, KBJ408G application, or KBJ408G equivalent, this device supports high-reliability mains-input rectification where thermal stability, low IR, and 1500VRMS dielectric strength are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This single-phase full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a common cathode/anode configuration with glass-passivated junctions. It operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature and delivers 4.0A average output current when mounted on a 75mm × 75mm × 1.6mm aluminum heatsink.
Its 5.5°C/W typical junction-to-case thermal resistance and 40pF junction capacitance (measured at 1MHz, 4V reverse bias) support stable performance in 50/60Hz line-frequency applications without high-frequency switching artifacts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - Maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage; defines safe AC input voltage ceiling before breakdown. |
| IF(AV) | 4.0 A - Average rectified output current at TJ = +150°C with heatsink; sets continuous DC load capability. |
| VF Max | 1.0 V @ 2.0A - Forward voltage drop; determines conduction loss and thermal dissipation in linear operation. |
| IR Max | 5.0 µA @ 25°C - Reverse leakage current; impacts standby power and insulation integrity in high-impedance circuits. |
| IFSM | 120 A - Non-repetitive peak forward surge current (8.3ms half-sine); withstands inrush during cold-start. |
| RθJC | 5.5 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables heatsink sizing for thermal management under load. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU8K | Same 800V VRRM and 4A IF(AV), but GBU package (larger footprint, higher RθJC ≈ 7.0°C/W). | Less compact PCB layout; requires larger heatsink area for same thermal margin. | Select when existing GBU footprint compatibility is required over KBJ space constraints. |
| KBPC408 | Identical electrical specs, but KBPC package (square base, 4-pin inline) and non-RoHS lead finish. | Not compliant with RoHS 3 or automotive PPAP-ready sourcing; legacy manufacturing process. | Choose only for backward-compatible repair or non-regulated markets with legacy BOMs. |
Compared with GBU8K and KBPC408, KBJ408G offers superior thermal performance in minimal PCB area and full RoHS 3 compliance-critical for new industrial and outdoor lighting designs requiring certification and lifecycle assurance.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for KBJ408G?
KBJ408G has a specified junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Its 4.0A average current rating assumes mounting on a 75mm × 75mm × 1.6mm aluminum heatsink at TJ = +150°C. Derating is required above ambient temperatures exceeding +40°C without forced cooling.
Is KBJ408G suitable for high-frequency switching applications?
No-KBJ408G is a standard recovery rectifier with no specified reverse recovery time (trr). Its 40pF junction capacitance and lack of fast-recovery optimization make it unsuitable for PWM frequencies above 20kHz. Use fast or ultrafast rectifiers (e.g., UF4007) for switch-mode topologies.
Does KBJ408G require a heatsink for 4A continuous operation?
Yes-its 5.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance necessitates a heatsink to maintain TJ ≤ +150°C at 4.0A. Without heatsinking, derated continuous current is approximately 1.2A at +25°C ambient, based on RθJA ≈ 45°C/W for typical PCB layouts.
How is polarity marked on the KBJ408G package?
Polarity is molded directly onto the plastic body: "+" and "–" symbols identify the DC output terminals, while "~" symbols (or AC markings) indicate the two AC input pins. The physical layout follows standard KBJ orientation-AC1 and AC2 on left/right, + on top right, – on bottom right when viewed with marking side up and leads downward.
