VS-KBPC606 Bridge Rectifier Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VS-KBPC606 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. This component is designed for applications requiring full-wave rectification at 600 V peak reverse voltage with 6 A average rectified current capacity. The part is currently active in production with 1164 units in stock. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to supply chain considerations, RoHS compliance requirements, or specific application certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VS-KBPC606 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Peak Reverse (Max): 600 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 6 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.2 V @ 3 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-Square, D-72
• Diode Type: Single Phase
• Technology: Standard

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes. Differences in RoHS compliance status do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may impact regulatory requirements for specific applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VS-KBPC606PBF is a direct parametric equivalent to the VS-KBPC606. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance status: VS-KBPC606PBF meets ROHS3 requirements, while VS-KBPC606 is RoHS non-compliant.

Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements:

• For applications subject to RoHS3 regulations or customer specifications requiring RoHS compliance, specify VS-KBPC606PBF.
• For applications with no RoHS compliance requirement, either part is electrically and mechanically interchangeable.
• Both parts are active products with adequate inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VS-KBPC606PBF replace VS-KBPC606 in my circuit?

A: Yes. The VS-KBPC606PBF is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical ratings (600 V, 6 A, 1.2 V forward voltage, 10 µA reverse leakage) and mechanical specifications (Through Hole, D-72 package). Direct substitution is possible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between VS-KBPC606 and VS-KBPC606PBF?

A: The parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is RoHS compliance: VS-KBPC606PBF is ROHS3 compliant, while VS-KBPC606 is RoHS non-compliant. Both are manufactured by Vishay and use standard bridge rectifier technology.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences?

A: No. Both parts use the same 4-Square, D-72 through-hole package with identical mechanical dimensions and lead configuration.

Q: Which part should I choose for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For designs subject to RoHS3 regulations or customer RoHS specifications, use VS-KBPC606PBF. Both parts are active products with stable supply.

Q: Can I mix these parts in the same production batch?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. However, verify that your quality and compliance documentation permits mixing RoHS-compliant and non-compliant variants if both are used in the same assembly.
