Vishay General Semiconductor KBU8x Series Single-Phase Bridge Rectifiers

Vishay General Semiconductors KBU8x Series Single-Phase Bridge Rectifiers feature a plastic-passivated junction that enhances durability and the high case dielectric strength of 1500VRMS reinforces the rectifiers' insulation properties. The KBU8x bridge rectifiers operate at a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage range from 50V to 1000V and a maximum forward output current of 8A. These rectifiers meet the UL94 V-0 flammability rating and are capable of handling high surge currents. KBU8x bridge rectifiers have an operating temperature range from -50°C to +150°C and a maximum DC reverse current at 25°C of 10μA. Typical applications include adapters, audio equipment, home appliances, monitors, printers, and TVs.
