Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the KBPC2506W are identified based on the following substitution criteria:

Allowed Parameter Ranges for Substitution:

• Voltage - Peak Reverse (Max): Equal to or greater than 600 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): Equal to or greater than 25 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max): Equal to or less than 1.1 V at the specified test current
• Current - Reverse Leakage: Equal to or less than 5 µA at rated voltage
• Operating Temperature Range: Must include -55°C to 150°C
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (required)
• Package / Case: 4-Square, KBPC-W (required)
• Diode Type: Single Phase (required)
• Technology: Standard (required)

The KBPC3510W-G meets these criteria with enhanced voltage and current ratings, making it suitable as a substitute in applications where the KBPC2506W is specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

KBPC2506W (GeneSiC Semiconductor) is the primary specification. This part is Active, RoHS Compliant, and carries unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, suitable for standard industrial rectification applications at 600 V / 25 A.

KBPC3510W-G (Comchip Technology) is a qualified substitute with the following characteristics:

• Higher voltage rating (1000 V vs. 600 V) provides additional design margin in overvoltage conditions
• Higher current rating (35 A vs. 25 A) accommodates increased load requirements
• Maintains identical forward voltage drop at specified test current
• ROHS3 Compliant status meets current regulatory requirements
• Identical thermal operating range and package footprint ensure direct mechanical and thermal compatibility

Both parts are Active products with full compliance certifications. Selection between them depends on application voltage and current requirements within the specified ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KBPC3510W-G replace KBPC2506W in all applications?

A: KBPC3510W-G is electrically compatible as a substitute where the application circuit can accommodate higher voltage and current ratings. The identical package footprint (4-Square, KBPC-W) and through-hole mounting ensure mechanical compatibility. Verify that the higher ratings do not introduce unintended circuit behavior in your specific application.

Q: What is the difference in forward voltage drop between these parts?

A: Both parts specify 1.1 V maximum forward voltage drop at their respective test currents (12.5 A for KBPC2506W, 17.5 A for KBPC3510W-G). Forward voltage characteristics are equivalent for design purposes.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts use identical 4-Square, KBPC-W through-hole packaging. KBPC2506W is supplied in Bulk packaging, while KBPC3510W-G is supplied in Tray packaging. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the higher reverse leakage current in KBPC3510W-G?

A: KBPC3510W-G specifies 10 µA reverse leakage at 1000 V, compared to 5 µA at 600 V for KBPC2506W. This difference is within acceptable engineering tolerances for standard bridge rectifier technology and does not impact functional performance in typical applications.

Q: Do both parts meet current RoHS requirements?

A: KBPC2506W is RoHS Compliant. KBPC3510W-G is ROHS3 Compliant, representing the current regulatory standard. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both KBPC2506W and KBPC3510W-G operate across -55°C to 150°C junction temperature range, ensuring compatibility in industrial and extended temperature environments.
