Product details
Overview
KBU806G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 8A, 800V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) standard bridge rectifier in KBU package, featuring glass-passivated junctions, 200A surge capability (IFSM), and UL Recognized File # E-326243 compliance; used in AC/DC front-end stages of industrial power adapters and LED drivers.
For engineers reviewing the KBU806G datasheet, KBU806G pinout, KBU806G application, or KBU806G equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM rating, thermal resistance (RθJC = 3°C/W), forward voltage at 8A (≤1.1V), reverse leakage at 125°C (≤500µA), and KBU mechanical compatibility with PCB mounting torque ≤0.56 N·m.
Technical Context
The KBU806G integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with quad internal layout. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse characteristics up to 150°C junction temperature and low IR (<5µA at 25°C, <500µA at 125°C).
Thermally, it delivers RθJA = 18°C/W (free-air) and RθJC = 3°C/W, enabling direct heatsink mounting via case contact. The KBU package supports matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU806 | VRRM = 800 V, IF = 8 A, same KBU footprint but GBU package has different lead spacing and body dimensions | Requires PCB pad revision due to GBU mechanical outline mismatch | Select when existing GBU-based designs need voltage upgrade from GBU804/805 |
| W08M | VRRM = 800 V, IF = 8 A, WOB package with lower RθJA (15°C/W) but no UL recognition | Not suitable for UL-certified end equipment without additional safety validation | Prefer for cost-sensitive, non-certified consumer lighting where thermal performance is prioritized |
Compared with GBU806 and W08M, the KBU806G offers UL recognition and KBU-specific mechanical compatibility for legacy adapter designs, while delivering identical electrical ratings-making it the default choice for certified industrial power supplies requiring proven safety and thermal interface.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for KBU806G?
The KBU806G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows continuous operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial enclosures or LED driver housings, provided thermal design maintains actual junction temperature below this limit using its RθJC = 3°C/W path to heatsink.
Does KBU806G meet RoHS and lead-free requirements?
Yes, KBU806G is RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and features matte tin-plated leads that satisfy J-STD-002 solderability standards. No lead or other restricted substances exceed allowable thresholds, making it suitable for environmentally regulated production programs without exemption requests.
What is the forward voltage drop of KBU806G at full rated current?
The KBU806G exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.1 V per diode at IF = 8 A and TJ = 25°C, measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms). This value directly determines conduction losses in the rectifier stage and must be factored into thermal budget calculations alongside RθJC = 3°C/W.
Is KBU806G UL recognized, and what is its file number?
Yes, KBU806G is UL Recognized under File # E-326243. This certification confirms compliance with UL 60747-4 for semiconductor devices and supports end-product safety approvals in North America, including industrial adapters and lighting systems requiring third-party safety validation.
How does the KBU806G differ from KBU805G and KBU807G?
The KBU806G differs from KBU805G (600V VRRM) and KBU807G (1000V VRRM) solely in repetitive peak reverse voltage rating-800V for KBU806G-while sharing identical IF = 8 A, IFSM = 200 A, thermal resistance, package, and pinout. All share the same KBU mechanical outline and marking format (KBU80xG).
