Product details
Overview
KBJ608G from Diodes Incorporated is a 6.0A, 800V peak repetitive reverse voltage standard recovery bridge rectifier in KBJ through-hole package, with 1.0V forward voltage at 3.0A per element and 5.0µA reverse leakage at 25°C, used in AC/DC power supplies for industrial motor drives and HVAC control systems.
For engineers reviewing the KBJ608G datasheet, KBJ608G pinout, KBJ608G application, or KBJ608G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 170A non-repetitive surge rating, 1.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, UL recognition (E95060), and compatibility with PCB mounting via #6 screw.
Technical Context
This single-phase, full-wave bridge rectifier uses glass-passivated silicon die to achieve stable reverse blocking up to 800V DC and low conduction loss. Its 170A surge capability supports brief inrush events in transformer-coupled supplies.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and delivers 6.0A average output current when case temperature is maintained at 110°C, requiring heatsinking per the 75mm × 75mm × 1.6mm aluminum plate reference.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage the bridge withstands without breakdown |
| IO @ TC=110°C | 6.0 A - Continuous average rectified output current with proper heatsinking |
| VF @ IF=3A | 1.0 V - Forward voltage drop per diode element, defining conduction loss at rated load |
| IR @ 25°C | 5.0 µA - Reverse leakage current at rated DC blocking voltage, indicating low standby power loss |
| IFSM | 170 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current tolerance for 8.3ms half-sine wave |
| RθJC | 1.5 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to case, critical for heatsink sizing |
| CT @ 1MHz | 80 pF - Total capacitance per element, affecting high-frequency noise coupling |
Pinout & Package
Package: KBJ molded plastic housing (UL 94V-0), through-hole mountable with #6 screw, 4.3g weight, bright tin-plated leads solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBJ608 | Same 800V VRRM and 6.0A IO, but lower IFSM (120A vs. 170A) and higher VF (1.1V) | Suitable for lower-surge applications where cost sensitivity outweighs surge margin | Select GBJ608 only if system-level inrush is limited and thermal design accommodates higher conduction loss |
| W08M | 800V VRRM, 1.5A IO (not 6.0A); smaller DO-15 package, no screw-mount provision | Only viable for low-power signal or auxiliary supplies, not main power conversion | Reject W08M for any application requiring ≥4A continuous output; insufficient current rating and thermal mass |
Compared with GBJ608 and W08M, KBJ608G uniquely combines 6.0A current handling, 170A surge robustness, and mechanical stability via screw-mount-making it irreplaceable in high-reliability industrial power front-ends.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for KBJ608G?
KBJ608G has a specified operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. Its 6.0A average current rating assumes case temperature is held at +110°C, requiring external heatsinking per the 1.5°C/W RθJC specification and the recommended 75mm × 75mm × 1.6mm aluminum plate.
Is KBJ608G suitable for capacitive-input filter designs?
No-capacitive-input filters require derating KBJ608G's average current by 20% per the datasheet. Its standard recovery characteristic makes it appropriate for inductive or resistive loads; fast-recovery alternatives are preferred for high-ripple, low-ESR capacitor inputs.
Does KBJ608G have automotive qualification?
KBJ608G itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., KBJ608G-A) with PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing, but standard KBJ608G is intended for industrial and commercial applications unless explicitly specified otherwise.
How is polarity identified on the KBJ608G package?
Polarity is molded directly onto the plastic body: "+" and "–" markings indicate the DC output terminals, while "~" symbols (or absence of polarity marks) identify the two AC input terminals. The physical layout follows standard KBJ pinout: AC1, AC2, +, –, reading left-to-right with the marking side facing up.
