Substitution for the VS-2KBB60 is based on strict parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute part VS-2KBB60R maintains identical performance characteristics across the following key parameters:

• Diode Type: Single Phase
• Technology: Standard
• Voltage - Peak Reverse (Max): 600 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 1.9 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.1 V @ 1.9 A
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 10 µA @ 600 V
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 150°C (TJ)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: 4-SIP, 2KBB
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Both parts share the same base product number (2KBB60) and are manufactured by the same supplier, ensuring functional and mechanical interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both VS-2KBB60 and VS-2KBB60R are active products manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division and maintain full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and procurement lead times, as they are electrically and mechanically identical. The VS-2KBB60 currently has higher inventory availability (1,579 units) compared to VS-2KBB60R (669 units). Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring single-phase bridge rectification at 600 V and 1.9 A specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VS-2KBB60R be used as a direct replacement for VS-2KBB60?
