VS-2KBP02 Bridge Rectifier Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VS-2KBP02 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division, rated for 200 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 with 917 units in stock. Bridge rectifiers of this specification are essential in AC-to-DC conversion applications requiring moderate voltage and current ratings with standard rectification technology.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VS-2KBP02 is determined by strict equivalence in the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Diode Type: Single Phase bridge rectifier configuration
• Voltage - Peak Reverse (Max): 200 V minimum rating
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 2 A minimum rating
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Technology: Standard rectification

The KBP202G from SMC Diode Solutions meets all substitution criteria. Both components share identical voltage and current ratings, operate within compatible temperature ranges, and utilize through-hole mounting technology. Packaging differences (D-44 versus KBP) do not affect electrical equivalence but may require mechanical board layout verification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the VS-2KBP02 and KBP202G are active products with full RoHS3 compliance and identical export classification (EAR99). The KBP202G offers an extended lower operating temperature limit (-55°C versus -40°C) and lower reverse leakage current (5 µA versus 10 µA), making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced low-temperature performance or reduced leakage specifications. The VS-2KBP02 remains the primary choice where Vishay component qualification is required or where D-44 package footprint compatibility is mandated. Package geometry differences between D-44 and KBP require verification against printed circuit board layout constraints prior to implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KBP202G directly replace VS-2KBP02 in existing designs?

A: Electrical substitution is valid based on matched voltage (200 V), current (2 A), and diode type (single phase) ratings. Physical board layout must be verified due to package differences between D-44 and KBP configurations.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: Both components are electrically equivalent at rated specifications. The KBP202G features lower reverse leakage current (5 µA versus 10 µA) and extended low-temperature operation (-55°C versus -40°C). Package footprints differ: VS-2KBP02 uses D-44 while KBP202G uses KBP package.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both VS-2KBP02 and KBP202G are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. Use VS-2KBP02 if Vishay qualification is specified or D-44 package is required. Use KBP202G if lower reverse leakage or extended low-temperature range (-55°C) is needed.

Q: Do package differences affect electrical performance?

A: No. Package differences (D-44 versus KBP) are mechanical only and do not affect electrical characteristics. Board layout compatibility must be confirmed independently.
