Product details
Overview
KBJL408-TU from Diodes Incorporated is a 4A standard recovery bridge rectifier with 800V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0V max forward voltage at 2A, and 10µA max reverse leakage current at 25°C. It features glass-passivated die construction, molded green plastic package (UL 94V-0), and is optimized for AC/DC power conversion in compact board-level power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the KBJL408-TU datasheet, KBJL408-TU pinout, KBJL408-TU application, or KBJL408-TU equivalent, this device serves as a drop-in replacement in TV, game console, and PC power supply designs where 4A average output current, 800V blocking capability, and thermal robustness without heatsink are required.
Technical Context
The KBJL408-TU integrates four standard-recovery silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration, enabling efficient AC-to-DC conversion without external interconnects. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse characteristics across temperature and long-term reliability under surge stress.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 24°C/W (no heatsink) and RθJA = 11°C/W (with 35mm × 35mm × 1.7mm Cu heatsink), supporting operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature. Peak surge capability reaches 120A (8.3ms half-sine) at 25°C, critical for inrush handling in offline SMPS front-ends.
Key Specifications

| VRRM | 800 V - Sustains 800V reverse voltage during AC line peaks in 115/230VAC inputs. |
| IF(AV) | 4 A - Delivers continuous 4A DC output current with heatsink at TC = 125°C. |
| VF Max | 1.0 V @ 2A - Limits conduction loss to ≤2W per half-cycle in full-wave rectification. |
| IR Max | 10 µA @ 25°C - Ensures minimal standby power loss in low-power standby circuits. |
| IFSM | 120 A (8.3ms) - Withstands typical AC line surge events without failure. |

Applications
| TV Power Supply | Game Console Power |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Primary-side rectification in 115/230VAC-fed switch-mode power supplies for flat-panel TVs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Full-wave bridge rectifier converting AC line to pulsating DC for bulk capacitor charging. Use Value: 800V VRRM safely handles 230VAC line surges; 4A IF(AV) supports >65W output power with margin. | Use Scenario: Off-line AC/DC conversion in gaming console auxiliary and main power rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input-stage rectifier delivering unregulated DC to downstream buck or flyback controllers. Use Value: High IFSM withstands repeated cold-start inrush; green package satisfies regional eco-regulations. |

Use Scenario: Rectification in ATX PSUs for +3.3V/+5V/+12V rail generation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bulk rectifier feeding primary-side PFC or PWM controller input. Use Value: Low VF (1.0V) reduces conduction loss; UL recognition simplifies end-product safety certification. | Use Scenario: General-purpose AC/DC adapter for industrial control modules and sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input bridge in isolated offline converters operating in harsh ambient conditions. Use Value: –55°C to +150°C TJ range ensures reliability in factory-floor enclosures without forced cooling. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU8K | Same 800V VRRM, 8A IF(AV), larger GBU package (RθJA = 18°C/W w/ heatsink). | Higher current capacity suits >100W designs; requires more PCB area and thermal management. | Select when higher average current or better thermal margin is needed; not pin-compatible. |
| KBU8B | 800V VRRM, 8A IF(AV), KBU package (RθJA = 20°C/W w/ heatsink), same lead finish. | Higher surge rating (200A) and current rating support heavier-duty industrial use cases. | Choose for legacy KBU footprint compatibility and enhanced surge resilience in ruggedized systems. |
Compared with KBJL408-TU, GBU8K offers higher current but larger size and different mounting, while KBU8B provides identical voltage rating with double the current and superior surge tolerance-both require layout revision but deliver measurable thermal and reliability headroom in demanding deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for KBJL408-TU?
The KBJL408-TU has a specified junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. Its thermal resistance is 24°C/W (no heatsink) and 11°C/W (with 35mm × 35mm × 1.7mm copper heatsink). Derating curves confirm 4A average current is sustainable only with heatsink at TC = 125°C; without heatsink, maximum IF(AV) drops to 2.7A at the same case temperature.
Is KBJL408-TU suitable for automotive applications?
KBJL408-TU is not AEC-Q200 qualified and lacks PPAP documentation or IATF 16949-certified manufacturing evidence in its public datasheet. While it operates across –55°C to +150°C, Diodes explicitly states that automotive-grade variants require direct engagement with their representatives for change-controlled, qualified parts-this part is intended for commercial/industrial use only.
How does the KBJL408-TU compare to KBJL406-TU and KBJL410-TU?
KBJL408-TU differs solely in maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage: 800V versus 600V (KBJL406-TU) and 1000V (KBJL410-TU). All share identical IF(AV) = 4A, VF = 1.0V @ 2A, IR = 10µA @ 25°C, package (KBJL), and thermal specs. Selection depends strictly on required blocking voltage margin for the AC line input and transient conditions.
What does the "-TU" suffix indicate in KBJL408-TU?
The "-TU" suffix denotes tube packaging: 20 pieces per plastic tube. This is Diodes Incorporated's standard carrier format for KBJL-series bridge rectifiers, distinct from tape-and-reel ("-T" or "-TR") or bulk ("-BULK") options. Tube packaging supports manual assembly and low-volume prototyping with easy handling and static-safe storage.
