DescriptionSmoothly convert alternating current to direct current with the KBL406 Bridge Rectifier. Designed for modern electronics projects, this single-phase rectifier provides a clean, reliable solution for your AC-to-DC power conversion needs, entirely eliminating the hassle of manually wiring four separate diodes together.Whether you are an engineering student designing a custom benchtop power supply or a hardware developer prototyping an IoT device that runs on mains power, the KBL406 is a dependable choice for low-to-medium power rectification.The “In-Line” PCB AdvantageUnlike bulky, square rectifiers (such as the KBPC series) which often require chassis mounting, the KBL406 features an in-line pin layout. All four pins are arranged in a single, straight row. This form factor makes it incredibly easy to plug straight into a prototyping breadboard or solder securely onto a printed circuit board (PCB).Wiring is straightforward: feed your AC voltage from a step-down transformer into the two inner pins marked with a tilde (~). The rectifier flips the negative half-cycles, outputting a pulsating DC voltage from the outer Positive ( ) and Negative (–) pins.Key Features:Compact, PCB-Ready Design: In-line flat package saves valuable board space in compact enclosures.High Voltage & Current Rating: Safely handles up to 4A of continuous load current and withstands reverse voltages up to 600V.High Surge Capability: Easily absorbs the sudden inrush current that occurs when large smoothing capacitors first charge up upon power-on.Fully Insulated Casing: Encapsulated with UL-recognized flame-retardant epoxy for excellent thermal and electrical stability.Technical Specifications:Configuration: Single-Phase BridgeMax Average Forward Rectified Current (IO): 4.0 AMax Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage (VRRM): 600VMax RMS Reverse Voltage (VRMS): 420VForward Voltage Drop per element (VF): ~1.1VPeak Forward Surge Current (IFSM): ~150A (for a single 8.3ms half-sine wave)Package Type: KBL (4-pin in-line)Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 150°CIdeal Applications:PCB-mounted AC-to-DC power supplies and wall adaptersConsumer electronics and home appliancesLow-power motor controllersBattery charging circuitsUniversity AC rectification and smoothing capacitor lab experimentsDocuments:Datasheet
