Device identity and key ratings
The Vishay VS-KBPC1005 is a single-phase bridge rectifier from the VS-KBPC1 series, designed for full-wave rectification of an AC input into a DC output. It is a standard-recovery, through-hole device housed in a 4-Square KBPC-1 package. The part is rated for a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 50 V and delivers an average rectified output current of 3 A.
Package and mounting
The KBPC-1 package is a 4-lead, square through-hole form factor with a 10.4 mm square body and a 3.96 mm lead pitch. The centre hole in the package body accepts a mounting screw for chassis attachment, which also serves as the thermal path to a heatsink. The through-hole leads are tin-plated copper and are intended for soldering into a PCB or for direct wiring with ring terminals when bolted to a chassis.
Lifecycle and compliance
This part is marked as RoHS non-compliant (lead-bearing termination finish), which is a sourcing constraint for designs requiring full RoHS exemption or for legacy maintenance where lead-free solder processes are not used.
