Product details
Overview
KBP408G from Diodes Incorporated is a 4.0A, 800V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) standard recovery bridge rectifier in KBP package, featuring 1.1V max forward voltage at 4.0A, 5μA max reverse leakage at 1000V/25°C, and 130A non-repetitive surge rating - used for AC/DC full-wave rectification in LED lighting power supplies and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the KBP408G datasheet, KBP408G pinout, KBP408G application, or KBP408G equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM derating for capacitive loads, thermal resistance (RθJC = 6°C/W with heatsink), IFSM surge capability, and UL recognition (E95060) for safety-critical board-level deployments.
Technical Context
This single-phase, full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a common cathode/anode configuration to convert AC input into unidirectional DC output. It operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and supports both resistive and inductive loads at 60Hz.
Thermal performance is defined by two distinct RθJA values: 15°C/W with heatsink (75mm × 75mm × 1.6mm Cu plate) and 40°C/W without heatsink - requiring explicit thermal design consideration based on ambient and mounting conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - maximum peak reverse voltage the device withstands without breakdown; defines safe AC input voltage ceiling (e.g., ≤560V RMS). |
| IO (TC=105°C) | 4.0 A - average rectified current with heatsink; derates to 2.0A without heatsink. |
| VF (IF=4.0A) | 1.1 V max - forward voltage drop per diode element; determines conduction loss (≈4.4W total at full load). |
| IR (VR=1000V) | 5 μA max @ 25°C - low reverse leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance circuits. |
| IFSM (8.3ms) | 130 A - surge current rating for transient line events; enables robustness against inrush in transformer-fed supplies. |
| RθJC | 6 °C/W - junction-to-case thermal resistance with heatsink; critical for calculating die temperature rise under load. |
Pinout & Package
Package: KBP - molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), 1.52g weight, lead finish: bright tin, polarity marked on body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ~ (AC1) | AC Input Terminal 1 | One of two AC input nodes; connects to live/neutral side of transformer secondary or AC line. |
| ~ (AC2) | AC Input Terminal 2 | Second AC input node; completes full-wave bridge input path with AC1. |
| + (DC+) | Positive DC Output | Anode of internal upper diodes; delivers rectified positive output to filter capacitor/load. |
| – (DC–) | Negative DC Output / Common Return | Cathode of internal lower diodes; serves as circuit ground reference and return path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die construction | Enhances long-term reliability and moisture resistance in humid environments (e.g., indoor LED drivers). |
| UL Recognized File # E95060 | Validates compliance with UL/CSA safety standards for end-equipment certification in North America. |
| Surge overload rating: 130A (8.3ms) | Withstands transformer inrush and lightning-induced transients without failure in AC/DC front-end stages. |
| Lead-free & RoHS 3 compliant | Meets EU Directive 2015/863/EU; suitable for environmentally regulated industrial and consumer products. |
Applications
| LED Lighting Power Supply | Office Equipment AC/DC Adapter |

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 KBP package, 800V VRRM, but 1.05V VF max at 4A; slightly lower RθJA (14°C/W w/ heatsink). | Higher efficiency at light loads due to lower VF; identical thermal mounting requirements. | Select when optimizing for conduction loss in thermally constrained designs. |
| GBU8J (Vishay) | Same 800V/4A rating, but 1.2V VF max; higher IR (10μA) and lower IFSM (100A). | Reduced surge margin and higher standby loss; otherwise pin-identical. | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs surge robustness and leakage targets. |
Compared with GBU8K and GBU8J, KBP408G offers superior surge immunity (130A vs. ≤100A), lowest leakage (5μA), and UL recognition - making it preferred for safety-certified, high-reliability AC/DC front-ends.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for KBP408G?
KBP408G has an operating junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Its thermal resistance depends on mounting: RθJA is 15°C/W with a 75mm × 75mm × 1.6mm copper heatsink, but rises to 40°C/W without heatsink - requiring derating to 2.0A average current in free-air conditions.
Can KBP408G be used in capacitive-input filter applications?
Yes, but with 20% current derating per datasheet guidance. For example, its rated 4.0A average output must be limited to 3.2A when driving a large electrolytic capacitor directly after rectification - due to increased peak currents and associated thermal stress on the diode junctions.
Is KBP408G automotive-qualified?
No - KBP408G is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While it operates from -55°C to +150°C, Diodes specifies that automotive use requires explicit AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing - which this part does not carry unless specially ordered and designated.
How is polarity marked on the KBP408G package?
Polarity is marked on the top surface of the KBP package: a white band identifies the DC+ (positive) output terminal, while the opposite corner marks the DC– (negative/common) terminal. The two unmarked terminals are the AC inputs (~), arranged diagonally across the bridge.
