Product details
Overview
KBJ601G from Diodes Incorporated is a 6.0A standard recovery bridge rectifier with 100V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0V forward voltage at 3.0A, and 5.0µA reverse leakage current at 25°C - designed for AC-to-DC conversion in offline power supplies, LED drivers, and industrial control power stages.
For engineers reviewing the KBJ601G datasheet, KBJ601G pinout, KBJ601G application, or KBJ601G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 170A non-repetitive surge rating, 1.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, UL recognition (E95060), and through-hole KBJ package compatibility with PCB mounting using #6 screw.
Technical Context
This single-phase, full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a molded plastic KBJ package with glass-passivated die construction. It operates across -55°C to +150°C and supports resistive/inductive loads at 60Hz without derating; capacitive loads require 20% IO derating.
The device delivers 6.0A average rectified output current at TC = +110°C, sustains 170A peak surge for 8.3ms half-sine wave, and exhibits 80pF typical total capacitance per element at 1MHz and 4V reverse bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum peak reverse voltage the bridge withstands without breakdown |
| IO @ TC=110°C | 6.0 A - Continuous DC output current capability with heatsink mounting |
| VF @ IF=3.0A | 1.0 V - Forward voltage drop per diode leg, defining conduction loss at rated load |
| IR @ 25°C | 5.0 µA - Reverse leakage per bridge leg, critical for low-power standby efficiency |
| IFSM | 170 A - Surge current handling for line transients and inrush limiting |
| RθJC | 1.5 °C/W - Thermal resistance per diode element, enabling thermal design with aluminum plate heatsink |
| CT @ 1MHz | 80 pF - Junction capacitance per diode, affecting high-frequency noise and EMI filtering |
Pinout & Package
Package: KBJ - Molded plastic case with bright tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, 4.3g weight, and #6 screw mounting provision.

Applications
| Industrial Power Supplies | LED Driver Front-End |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 230VAC input stage in DIN-rail mounted 24V/5A industrial SMPS. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Full-wave bridge rectifier converting mains AC to unregulated DC bus prior to PFC and DC-DC stages. Use Value: 170A surge rating handles cold-start inrush; 1.0V VF minimizes conduction loss at 6A continuous load. | Use Scenario: Off-line constant-current LED driver for street lighting with 100–240VAC universal input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary rectification element feeding bulk capacitor and downstream flyback controller. Use Value: 100V VRRM safely accommodates 240VAC peak (≈340V) with margin; low IR reduces standby power loss. |
| Appliance Control Boards | AC Motor Control Auxiliary Supply |
Use Scenario: Embedded microcontroller power supply on washing machine main control board. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides isolated 12V DC rail from 120VAC auxiliary winding of main transformer. Use Value: KBJ package enables robust through-hole mounting; UL recognition simplifies IEC 60335 certification. | Use Scenario: Low-power auxiliary supply for gate drivers and logic in 3-phase inverter modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Rectifies AC voltage from control transformer to generate isolated ±15V rails. Use Value: 1.5°C/W RθJC allows direct heatsink mounting; 80pF CT limits high-frequency coupling into sensitive analog circuits. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU6K (ON Semiconductor) | Same 6A/100V rating, but GBU package has higher RθJC (2.0°C/W) and no UL listing | Lacks UL E95060 recognition; unsuitable for certified consumer/appliance designs | Select when UL compliance is not required and cost is prioritized over thermal margin |
| MB10F (Vishay) | Lower 1.0A IO rating, smaller MB package, 100V VRRM, but only 30A IFSM | Not suitable for 6A continuous or 170A surge applications; limited to low-power adapters | Use only in space-constrained, sub-1A designs where surge immunity is non-critical |
Compared with GBU6K and MB10F, KBJ601G uniquely combines UL recognition, 6A continuous current, 170A surge tolerance, and 1.5°C/W thermal resistance - making it the preferred choice for certified, thermally demanding industrial and appliance power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for KBJ601G?
KBJ601G has an operating junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Its 6.0A average output current rating is specified at TC = +110°C, meaning the case must be maintained at or below that temperature-typically achieved using a 75mm × 75mm × 1.6mm aluminum heatsink per the datasheet's thermal test condition.
Is KBJ601G suitable for use with capacitive loads?
No-capacitive loads require a 20% derating of the average output current (IO). For KBJ601G, this reduces the usable continuous current from 6.0A to 4.8A when feeding large bulk capacitors directly after rectification, due to elevated peak currents and associated thermal stress on the diode junctions.
Does KBJ601G have automotive qualification?
KBJ601G is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While Diodes offers automotive-grade variants in the KBJ family (e.g., KBJ601G-A), the standard KBJ601G is intended for industrial and commercial applications. Automotive use requires explicit PPAP-capable, IATF 16949-manufactured versions with AEC-Q101 validation.
How is polarity marked on the KBJ601G package?
Polarity is molded directly onto the plastic body: the "+" symbol identifies the positive DC output terminal (+DC), and the "~" symbols adjacent to two leads indicate the AC input terminals (~AC1 and ~AC2). The negative DC output (-DC) is unmarked but located opposite +DC on the standard KBJ pinout diagram.
