Product details
Overview
VS-KBPC601 from Vishay Semiconductors is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier rated for 6 A average output current at 50 °C case temperature, with 100 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) and 137 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM, 60 Hz). It uses a D-72 package and is designed for AC-to-DC conversion in industrial power supplies and consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the VS-KBPC601 datasheet, VS-KBPC601 pinout, VS-KBPC601 application, or VS-KBPC601 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V VRRM, 6 A IO(AV), 137 A IFSM (60 Hz), thermal rating up to +150 °C junction temperature, and D-72 mechanical footprint compatibility with PCB or chassis mounting.
Technical Context
The VS-KBPC601 integrates four silicon junction diodes in a full-wave bridge configuration, enabling unidirectional DC output from single-phase AC input. Its design supports resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads, with validated performance across 40–1000 Hz operating frequency range and specified I2t fusing capability of 71 A2s (8.3 ms, 60 Hz).
Thermal management relies on junction-to-case conduction through the D-72 metal case, with an operating junction temperature range of −40 °C to +150 °C and typical peak forward voltage of 1.2 V per diode at 3 A forward current and 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IO(AV) | 6.0 A at TC = 50 °C, resistive/inductive load - defines continuous DC output capability under standard thermal conditions |
| VRRM | 100 V - maximum allowable reverse voltage before breakdown; sets AC input voltage limit (e.g., ≤40 V RMS) |
| IFSM | 137 A at 60 Hz, t = 8.3 ms - withstands short-duration line surges without failure |
| VFM | 1.2 V per diode at IFM = 3 A, TJ = 25 °C - determines conduction loss and thermal rise in high-current operation |
| TJ Range | −40 °C to +150 °C - enables deployment in harsh industrial or automotive under-hood environments |
| I2t | 71 A2s at 8.3 ms - quantifies fuse coordination margin for overcurrent protection design |
Pinout & Package
The VS-KBPC601 uses the D-72 package: a molded plastic case with integral metal baseplate for thermal dissipation and mechanical mounting, measuring 15.7 × 14.75 × 10.8 mm (0.62 × 0.58 × 0.425 in), with four solderable terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ~ (AC1) | AC input terminal 1 | One leg of AC input; connects to live/phase side of transformer secondary or line |
| ~ (AC2) | AC input terminal 2 | Second leg of AC input; completes full-wave bridge input path |
| + (DC+) | Positive DC output | Anode of output diodes; delivers rectified positive voltage to filter capacitor or load |
| − (DC−) | Negative DC output / common return | Cathode of output diodes; serves as system ground reference and return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High surge current capability | 137 A IFSM (60 Hz) enables reliable operation during cold-start inrush or line transients |
| Compact D-72 package | 15.7 × 14.75 mm footprint supports high-density PCB layout while allowing chassis mounting via baseplate |
| Wide operating temperature | −40 °C to +150 °C junction range permits use in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments |
| Low forward voltage | 1.2 V per diode at 3 A reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency in 12–24 V DC power systems |
Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supplies | Consumer Audio Amplifiers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 24 VAC transformer output in DIN-rail mounted PLC power modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Full-wave bridge rectifier converting AC input to pulsating DC prior to bulk capacitance and regulation. Use Value: 6 A IO(AV) and 137 A IFSM support sustained load and transient tolerance without derating at 50 °C ambient. | Use Scenario: Converting 36 VAC center-tapped transformer output in Class AB stereo amplifiers.

Use Value: −40 °C to +150 °C TJ range ensures reliability in thermally aggressive LED housing environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBPC601 (ON Semiconductor) | Identical electrical ratings (6 A, 100 V), same D-72 package, but higher typical VFM (1.3 V vs. 1.2 V) | Slightly higher conduction loss; suitable where thermal margin exists | Select when sourcing diversification is required and 0.1 V higher VFM is acceptable |
| GBU6K (Diotec) | Same 6 A/100 V rating, GBU package (larger footprint: 22.5 × 18.5 mm), higher IFSM (150 A) | Requires PCB layout change; better surge immunity for outdoor-rated equipment | Choose when enhanced surge robustness justifies larger board area and rework |
Compared with KBPC601 and GBU6K, the VS-KBPC601 offers identical core ratings with the lowest forward voltage (1.2 V) and optimized D-72 footprint for space-constrained industrial designs, making it preferred where thermal efficiency and layout density are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum average output current rating for VS-KBPC601?
The VS-KBPC601 is rated for 6.0 A average DC output current (IO(AV)) at a case temperature of 50 °C with resistive or inductive loads. At 50 °C case temperature and capacitive load, the rating drops to 4.7 A. Derating curves in the datasheet (Fig. 2) define allowable current versus case temperature for precise thermal design of the VS-KBPC601.
Does VS-KBPC601 support both 50 Hz and 60 Hz AC input frequencies?
Yes, the VS-KBPC601 is fully specified for operation across 40–1000 Hz, including standard 50 Hz and 60 Hz line frequencies. Its surge ratings (IFSM and I2t) are explicitly provided for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz conditions - 125 A / 78 A2s at 50 Hz and 137 A / 71 A2s at 60 Hz - confirming robust performance in global mains-powered applications using VS-KBPC601.
What is the pin configuration and terminal identification for VS-KBPC601?
The VS-KBPC601 has four terminals in D-72 package: two AC inputs labeled "~", one positive DC output labeled "+", and one negative DC output labeled "−". The terminals are arranged in a rectangular pattern with the "+" and "−" on one long edge and the "~" inputs on the opposite edge. Mechanical drawings in Vishay document 95250 confirm this layout, critical for correct VS-KBPC601 orientation during PCB assembly.
How does the thermal performance of VS-KBPC601 compare to KBPC1-series parts?
The VS-KBPC601 delivers 6 A IO(AV) at 50 °C case temperature, double the 3 A rating of the KBPC1-series (e.g., VS-KBPC101), due to enhanced internal construction and thermal path design. Both share the same −40 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range, but VS-KBPC601 achieves higher current density within the identical D-72 footprint - a key differentiator confirmed in Vishay document 93585's comparative ratings tables for VS-KBPC601.
Is VS-KBPC601 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the VS-KBPC601 complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per Vishay's material categorization standard (document 99912). The device uses lead-free matte tin-plated terminals and environmentally compliant molding compound, verified in Vishay's official compliance documentation referenced in the VS-KBPC601 datasheet (document 93585).
