VS-2KBP005 Bridge Rectifier Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VS-2KBP005 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division, rated for 50 V peak reverse voltage and 2 A average rectified current. This component is designed for through-hole mounting in D-44 package configuration and is currently in active product status. Bridge rectifiers of this specification are essential in power supply circuits requiring AC-to-DC conversion with full-wave rectification. Substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical ratings and mechanical compatibility within the single-phase bridge rectifier category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the VS-2KBP005 are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Voltage - Peak Reverse (Max): 50 V or greater
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 2 A or greater
• Diode Type: Single Phase
• Technology: Standard
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant or equivalent environmental compliance

The KBP2005G from SMC Diode Solutions meets all substitution criteria. Both parts share identical peak reverse voltage (50 V) and average rectified current (2 A) ratings, operate within compatible temperature ranges, and maintain through-hole mounting compatibility. Package differences (D-44 versus KBP) are noted but do not prevent functional substitution in standard through-hole PCB applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the VS-2KBP005 and KBP2005G are active products with ROHS3 compliance. The KBP2005G offers a lower reverse leakage current (5 µA versus 10 µA) and an extended minimum operating temperature (-55°C versus -40°C), making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced low-temperature performance or reduced leakage specifications. The VS-2KBP005 remains the primary choice where the original D-44 package footprint is required and existing thermal or leakage specifications are acceptable. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in standard single-phase bridge rectifier applications operating within the specified voltage and current parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KBP2005G replace VS-2KBP005 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical peak reverse voltage (50 V) and average rectified current (2 A) ratings. The primary consideration is package footprint compatibility; VS-2KBP005 uses D-44 package while KBP2005G uses KBP package. PCB layout modifications may be required if the original design is footprint-specific.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between these parts?

A: The KBP2005G exhibits lower reverse leakage current (5 µA versus 10 µA at 50 V) and slightly higher forward voltage drop (1.1 V @ 2 A versus 1 V @ 1 A). The KBP2005G also supports a lower minimum operating temperature (-55°C versus -40°C).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both VS-2KBP005 and KBP2005G are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring environmental compliance certification.

Q: What mounting considerations apply to substitution?

A: Both parts are through-hole mounted components. Physical package dimensions differ (D-44 versus KBP), requiring verification of PCB hole spacing and lead compatibility before substitution.
