Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the VS-KBPC604 are qualified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Peak Reverse (Max): 400 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 6 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.2 V @ 3 A
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 10 µA @ 400 V
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 150°C (TJ)
• Package / Case: 4-Square, D-72
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Diode Type: Single Phase
• Technology: Standard

Parts meeting all these specifications are classified as parametric equivalents and may be used interchangeably in circuit applications designed for the VS-KBPC604.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both VS-KBPC604 and VS-KBPC604PBF are active products from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction between these parts is RoHS compliance status. The VS-KBPC604 is RoHS non-compliant, while the VS-KBPC604PBF is ROHS3 compliant. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical moisture sensitivity levels.

Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory and compliance requirements applicable to the end application. Applications subject to RoHS3 regulations require the VS-KBPC604PBF variant. Applications without RoHS compliance mandates may use either part based on availability and supply chain considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VS-KBPC604PBF be used as a direct replacement for VS-KBPC604?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical ratings (400 V peak reverse voltage, 6 A average rectified current, 1.2 V forward voltage at 3 A, 10 µA reverse leakage at 400 V), identical operating temperature range (-40°C to 150°C), and identical D-72 through-hole package configuration. The parts are functionally interchangeable in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between VS-KBPC604 and VS-KBPC604PBF?

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. VS-KBPC604 is RoHS non-compliant, while VS-KBPC604PBF is ROHS3 compliant. All electrical parameters, mechanical specifications, and thermal characteristics are identical.

Q: Are there any package or mounting differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use the 4-Square D-72 through-hole package with identical mounting specifications. PCB layout and assembly procedures remain unchanged when substituting between these parts.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications subject to RoHS3 regulations, specify VS-KBPC604PBF. For applications without RoHS compliance mandates, either part may be selected based on availability and supply chain factors.

Q: Are both parts currently in production?

A: Yes. Both VS-KBPC604 and VS-KBPC604PBF are active products with current inventory availability from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division.
