Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the VS-KBPC8005 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Diode Type: Single Phase
• Technology: Standard
• Voltage - Peak Reverse (Max): 50 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 8 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1 V @ 3 A
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 10 µA @ 50 V
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 150°C (TJ)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: 4-Square, D-72

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as parametric equivalents and may be used interchangeably in applications where the original part is specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VS-KBPC8005PBF is a parametric equivalent to the VS-KBPC8005, with identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical performance parameters. The primary distinction between these parts is compliance status: the VS-KBPC8005PBF carries ROHS3 compliance, while the VS-KBPC8005 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements applicable to the end application. Both parts maintain identical moisture sensitivity levels, REACH status, and export classification. Inventory availability differs slightly, with the VS-KBPC8005 offering greater stock depth.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VS-KBPC8005PBF replace VS-KBPC8005 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical ratings (50 V, 8 A), forward voltage characteristics, reverse leakage specifications, and operating temperature range. The D-72 through-hole package is identical, ensuring mechanical compatibility. The primary consideration is RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between VS-KBPC8005 and VS-KBPC8005PBF?

A: The parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The VS-KBPC8005PBF is ROHS3 compliant, while the VS-KBPC8005 is RoHS non-compliant. Both share the same series designation (VS-KBPC8), package type (D-72), and all electrical parameters.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences?

A: No. Both parts use the 4-Square, D-72 through-hole package with identical mechanical specifications and mounting requirements.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, specify VS-KBPC8005PBF. For applications without RoHS requirements, either part is acceptable based on availability and cost considerations.

Q: Do these parts have different thermal characteristics?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 150°C (TJ) with the same thermal specifications.
