Product details
Overview
VS-KBPC6005PBF from Vishay Semiconductors is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier with 6 A average output current (IO), 50 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and D-72 package. It delivers high surge current capability (125 A IFSM at 60 Hz) for AC-to-DC conversion in industrial power supplies and consumer electronics with resistive or inductive loads.
For engineers reviewing the VS-KBPC6005PBF datasheet, VS-KBPC6005PBF pinout, VS-KBPC6005PBF application, or VS-KBPC6005PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6 A IO rating at TC = 50 °C, 50 V VRRM, 1.2 V typical peak forward voltage per diode at IFM = 3 A, -40 °C to +150 °C operating temperature range, and D-72 mechanical outline compatibility with PCB or chassis mounting.
Technical Context
The VS-KBPC6005PBF integrates four silicon junction diodes in a full-wave bridge configuration optimized for single-phase AC line rectification. Its thermal design supports 6 A DC output under resistive/inductive load at 50 °C case temperature, with surge robustness validated at 137 A (60 Hz, 16.7 ms) and I²t fusing capability of 71 A²s.
It operates across 40–1000 Hz input frequency and maintains low leakage (10 μA at 25 °C, 1.0 mA at 150 °C) under full VRRM bias. The device is rated for continuous operation from -40 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, with no specified RthJC value but confirmed 6 g mass and D-72 footprint per Vishay Doc. 95250.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IO(AV) | 6.0 A at TC = 50 °C, resistive/inductive load - defines maximum continuous DC output current under standard thermal conditions |
| VRRM | 50 V - maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage each diode withstands without breakdown |
| IFSM | 137 A at 60 Hz, 16.7 ms - non-repetitive surge current handling for short-duration line transients |
| VFM | 1.2 V at IFM = 3 A, TJ = 25 °C - forward voltage drop per diode, directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise |
| TJ Range | -40 °C to +150 °C - operational junction temperature window enabling use in harsh ambient environments |
| I²t | 71 A²s at 60 Hz, 8.3 ms - fusing energy threshold used for coordination with upstream overcurrent protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU6K | Same 6 A IO and 600 V VRRM, but GBU package (larger, 22.5 mm × 18.5 mm) and higher VFM (1.1 V typ. at 3 A) | Preferred where higher VRRM margin is required; less suitable for 50 V–100 V AC inputs due to over-spec'd voltage rating | Select GBU6K only if system requires ≥600 V VRRM or legacy GBU footprint compatibility |
| KBPC6005 | Identical electrical specs and D-72 package; differs only in RoHS compliance status (VS-KBPC6005PBF is lead-free, KBPC6005 is standard finish) | No functional difference; KBPC6005 may be used where Pb-containing terminations are acceptable per local regulations | Choose VS-KBPC6005PBF for RoHS-compliant production; KBPC6005 for cost-sensitive legacy builds with Pb exemption |
Compared with GBU6K and KBPC6005, the VS-KBPC6005PBF offers optimal balance of 50 V VRRM precision, RoHS compliance, and D-72 footprint efficiency-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 120 VAC and 230 VAC input rectification where exact voltage rating alignment matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum average output current rating for VS-KBPC6005PBF?
The VS-KBPC6005PBF is rated for 6.0 A average DC output current (IO) when operated at a case temperature of 50 °C with resistive or inductive loads. This rating drops to 4.7 A under capacitive load conditions at the same temperature, reflecting higher RMS current stress in such configurations. Derating curves in Vishay Doc. 93585 confirm usable output down to ~3.5 A at 100 °C case temperature.
Does VS-KBPC6005PBF support 230 VAC input applications?
No, the VS-KBPC6005PBF has a 50 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), making it unsuitable for 230 VAC input (which produces ~325 V peak). It is designed for low-voltage AC inputs such as 12 VAC, 24 VAC, or 120 VAC (170 V peak) with appropriate derating. For 230 VAC, VS-KBPC604 (400 V VRRM) or VS-KBPC606 (600 V VRRM) are appropriate alternatives.
What is the thermal resistance (RthJC) of VS-KBPC6005PBF?
Vishay does not publish a specified thermal resistance (RthJC) value for the VS-KBPC6005PBF in Doc. 93585 or Doc. 95250. Thermal performance is instead characterized by derating curves showing allowable IO versus case temperature. Designers must rely on empirical heatsinking or chassis-mount thermal paths, as the D-72 package relies on case-to-heatsink conduction rather than a defined junction-to-case metric.
Is VS-KBPC6005PBF RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the "PBF" suffix in VS-KBPC6005PBF explicitly denotes lead-free (Pb-free) and RoHS-compliant construction per Vishay's material categorization standards. This distinguishes it from the non-suffixed KBPC6005 variant, which uses standard tin-lead termination. Compliance is verified per Vishay Doc. 99912 and aligns with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
What is the peak forward voltage per diode for VS-KBPC6005PBF?
The VS-KBPC6005PBF exhibits a typical peak forward voltage (VFM) of 1.2 V per diode at IFM = 3 A and TJ = 25 °C. This value increases with temperature and current - reaching approximately 1.4 V at 150 °C junction temperature - and directly determines conduction loss (Pcond ≈ 4 × VFM × IO) in full-bridge operation.
