KBPC2506T Single Phase Bridge Rectifier 600V 25A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KBPC2506T is a single phase bridge rectifier manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor, rated for 600V peak reverse voltage and 25A average rectified current. This component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS Compliant. Bridge rectifiers of this specification are used in AC-to-DC conversion applications requiring moderate current capacity at standard industrial voltage levels. Substitute parts become necessary when the original manufacturer part is unavailable, when alternative sourcing is required for supply chain optimization, or when equivalent performance specifications from alternative manufacturers meet application requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the KBPC2506T is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Voltage - Peak Reverse (Max): 600V (must match exactly)
• Diode Type: Single Phase (must match exactly)
• Technology: Standard (must match exactly)
• Mounting Type: QC Terminal (must match exactly)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 150°C (TJ) (must match or exceed)
• Package / Case: 4-Square configuration (must be compatible)

Current Rating Consideration: The KBPC2506T is rated for 25A average rectified current. Substitute parts are grouped by current capacity. Parts with equal or higher current ratings (25A, 35A, 50A) are electrically compatible for applications requiring 25A or less. Parts with lower current ratings (10A) are not suitable substitutes for the KBPC2506T.

Electrical Characteristics: Forward voltage (Vf) and reverse leakage current are secondary parameters. Variations within the specified ranges do not prevent substitution when primary parameters match.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Recommended Primary Substitute): KBPC2506-G from Comchip Technology is the direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to KBPC2506T. Both parts share identical voltage rating (600V), current rating (25A), forward voltage characteristics, operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C), and QC Terminal mounting type. KBPC2506-G carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, meeting current environmental compliance requirements. This part is the preferred substitute when KBPC2506T is unavailable.

Higher Current Capacity Substitutes: KBPC3506-G (35A) and KBPC5006-G (50A) from Comchip Technology are electrically compatible substitutes with higher current ratings. These parts maintain the same 600V voltage rating, QC Terminal mounting, and operating temperature range. Applications requiring 25A or less can use these parts without electrical degradation. GBPC5006-G from Comchip Technology is functionally equivalent to KBPC5006-G but uses the GBPC package designation instead of KBPC.

Lower Current Capacity: KBPC1006-G (10A) does not meet the current requirements of the KBPC2506T and is not a suitable substitute for this application.

Compliance Status: All substitute parts from Comchip Technology carry ROHS3 Compliant certification, which supersedes the RoHS Compliant status of the original KBPC2506T. All parts listed are Active product status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KBPC2506-G directly replace KBPC2506T in my circuit? A: Yes. KBPC2506-G is a direct equivalent with identical electrical specifications (600V, 25A, -55°C to 150°C operating range) and QC Terminal mounting. Both are single phase standard technology bridge rectifiers in 4-Square package configuration.

Q: What is the difference between KBPC2506-G and KBPC5006-G? A: The primary difference is current rating. KBPC2506-G is rated for 25A average rectified current, while KBPC5006-G is rated for 50A. Both maintain 600V voltage rating and identical operating temperature range. KBPC5006-G can substitute for KBPC2506-G in applications requiring 25A or less, but not vice versa.

Q: Why is KBPC1006-G not listed as a suitable substitute? A: KBPC1006-G is rated for only 10A average rectified current, which is below the 25A requirement of KBPC2506T. Using an undersized component would result in thermal stress and potential failure.

Q: What is the difference between KBPC5006-G and GBPC5006-G? A: Both parts are manufactured by Comchip Technology with identical electrical specifications (600V, 50A, -55°C to 150°C). The difference is package designation: KBPC5006-G uses the KBPC package family designation, while GBPC5006-G uses the GBPC package family designation. Both are 4-Square QC Terminal packages and are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. The original KBPC2506T is RoHS Compliant. All substitute parts from Comchip Technology carry ROHS3 Compliant certification, which represents current environmental compliance standards.

Q: Can I use a higher current rated part like KBPC3506-G or KBPC5006-G in place of KBPC2506T? A: Yes. Higher current rated parts are electrically compatible for applications requiring 25A or less. The 600V voltage rating, QC Terminal mounting, and operating temperature range remain identical. Higher current capacity does not degrade performance in lower current applications.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for all these parts? A: All listed parts operate from -55°C to 150°C (TJ). This range is identical across KBPC2506T and all substitute parts.

Q: Are there any package compatibility issues between KBPC and GBPC designations? A: Both KBPC and GBPC designations refer to 4-Square QC Terminal packages. GBPC5006-G and KBPC5006-G are mechanically compatible and can be used interchangeably in applications designed for 4-Square QC Terminal bridge rectifiers.
