Power Your High-Current Designs with the Reliable KBPC5010 Bridge Rectifier The KBPC5010 is a robust single-phase bridge rectifier engineered to deliver 50A of maximum average rectified current with a high peak repetitive reverse voltage of 1000V. Its fundamental operation leverages a full-wave bridge circuit to convert alternating current (AC) into a pulsating direct current (DC), which can then be smoothed into stable DC power for your electronic devices and systems. Designed for demanding applications, this rectifier features a low forward voltage drop of just 1.1V at 25A, ensuring high efficiency, and can withstand short-term surge currents up to 500A. The square, compact package comes with pre-drilled mounting holes for easy and secure attachment to a heat sink, which is essential for maintaining stable performance and longevity in high-power scenarios like power supplies, motor drives, and industrial equipment. Key Features: High Current & Voltage Rating: 50A, 1000V for robust performance. Low Forward Voltage: 1.1V @ 25A for improved efficiency and reduced heat generation. High Surge Current Resistance: Withstands 400A to 500A current spikes, ideal for capacitive load start-ups. Easy Installation: Through-hole (KBPC) package with a pre-drilled base for M3 or 8-32 machine screws, allowing direct mounting to a heat sink or chassis. Wide Operating Temperature: Junction temperature range from -55°C to +150°C. Versatile Application: Perfect for power modules, battery chargers, AC/DC converters, LED drivers, and appliance controls. Please Note: For reliable operation, always use an appropriate heat sink and practice current derating. We recommend derating the nominal 50A current by at least 20% for designs with capacitive loads.
