Product details
Overview
KBJL1508-TU from Diodes Incorporated is a 15A standard recovery bridge rectifier with 800V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0V max forward voltage at 7.5A, and 10µA max reverse leakage at 25°C. It features glass-passivated die construction, UL-recognized packaging (E95060), and is optimized for high-surge AC/DC power supplies in consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the KBJL1508-TU datasheet, KBJL1508-TU pinout, KBJL1508-TU application, or KBJL1508-TU equivalent, this device serves as a drop-in replacement in TV, gaming console, and PC power supply front-end rectification where thermal robustness, RoHS-compliant lead finish, and 220A surge capability are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a single KBJL molded plastic package with matte tin-plated leads. Its standard recovery characteristic (trr not specified, but typical for standard recovery bridges) supports line-frequency (50/60Hz) rectification without significant switching loss concerns.
Thermal design is enabled by dual RθJC (1°C/W with heatsink) and RθJA (4°C/W with 35mm × 35mm × 1.7mm Cu heatsink) values, supporting both heatsink-mounted and limited-board-space deployments. The 55pF junction capacitance at 1MHz/4V reverse bias minimizes high-frequency coupling in EMI-sensitive power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - Withstands up to 800V peak reverse voltage during AC half-cycle blocking. |
| IF(AV) | 15 A - Continuous average forward current rating with heatsink at TC = +130°C. |
| VF Max | 1.0 V @ 7.5A - Forward conduction loss directly impacts efficiency and thermal rise in DC bus generation. |
| IR Max | 10 µA @ 25°C - Low leakage preserves hold-up capacitor charge and reduces standby power loss. |
| IFSM (8.3ms) | 220 A - Sustains inrush surges from cold-started transformers or bulk capacitors. |
| RθJC | 1 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables precise heatsink sizing for thermal management. |
| CT | 55 pF @ 1MHz - Junction capacitance affects high-frequency noise coupling and snubber design. |

Applications
| TV Power Supplies | Game Console Power Units |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Front-end AC/DC conversion in 100–300W LCD/LED TV power supplies operating from 100–240VAC mains. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Full-wave bridge rectifier converting AC line to unregulated DC bus prior to PFC and DC/DC stages. Use Value: 15A IF(AV) and 220A IFSM ensure reliable operation during repeated cold starts and brown-out recovery. | Use Scenario: Primary-side rectification in compact, fanless game console power adapters with high peak-load demands. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standard-recovery bridge providing low-conduction-loss DC bus generation without high-frequency switching artifacts. Use Value: 1.0V VF max at 7.5A reduces conduction heating, enabling smaller heatsinks in thermally constrained enclosures. |
| Desktop PC ATX PSUs | Industrial AC Input Modules |
Use Scenario: Bulk rectification stage in multi-rail ATX power supplies delivering +3.3V, +5V, and +12V outputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current bridge rectifier feeding bulk storage capacitors before active PFC controller input. Use Value: UL recognition and 800V VRRM support universal input (90–264VAC) designs with margin for line transients. | Use Scenario: AC input conditioning in DIN-rail mounted industrial power modules for PLCs and HMIs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Robust, creepage-optimized bridge rectifier for harsh environments requiring extended temperature operation. Use Value: –55°C to +150°C operating range and 10µA IR at 25°C ensure stable performance across wide ambient conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU8K (ON Semiconductor) | Same KBJL footprint, 800V VRRM, 1.1V VF max @ 7.5A, 200A IFSM (8.3ms) | Slightly higher VF increases conduction loss; lower IFSM limits surge margin | Acceptable for cost-sensitive, non-critical surge applications where thermal headroom exists |
| KBPC1508 (Shindengen) | Identical ratings (800V/15A/1.0V/220A), same KBJL package, but lead finish differs (SnPb vs matte tin) | Not RoHS-compliant; unsuitable for EU/China export without exemption | Only for legacy repair or non-regulated markets where lead-free compliance is not required |
Compared with GBU8K and KBPC1508, KBJL1508-TU offers superior surge robustness (220A vs 200A), guaranteed RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and UL recognition-making it preferred for new-design consumer power supplies targeting global certification.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The KBJL1508-TU has an operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. For continuous rated current (15A), case temperature must be maintained at ≤+130°C with heatsink; derating applies above that point per Figure 1 in DS45590.
Does KBJL1508-TU require a heatsink for 15A operation?
Yes - the 15A average forward current rating is specified only with heatsink at TC = +130°C. Without heatsink, the rated IF(AV) drops to 2.8A. Thermal resistance data (RθJC = 1°C/W with heatsink, RθJA = 4°C/W on Cu pad) confirms mandatory heatsinking for full-rated operation.
Is KBJL1508-TU suitable for high-frequency switching applications?
No - it is a standard recovery bridge rectifier with no specified reverse recovery time (trr). Its design targets 50/60Hz line-frequency rectification; using it in high-frequency SMPS (>20kHz) would cause excessive switching loss and overheating due to slow carrier recombination.
What does the "-TU" suffix indicate in the orderable part number?
The "-TU" suffix denotes tube packaging: 20 pieces per tube. This is the standard carrier format for KBJL-series bridge rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated, distinct from tape-and-reel ("-TR") or bulk options.
