Ordering Information
FCI’S KBPC Series of Bridges Can Be Ordered with Options on Terminals and Case Materials.
How To Specify Case Material and Terminal Options:
n For Metal Case, Order Suffix (1) “M”
n For Plastic Case, Order Suffix (1) “P”
n For Faston Terminals, Order Suffix (2) “F”
n For Wire Lead Terminals, Order Suffix (2) “W”
KBPC Series Examples
To Order a 25 Amp, 400 Volt Bridge with Faston Leads and a Plastic Case:
Specify -G BPC2504PF . . . Where “P” = Plastic and “F” = Faston Terminals
To Order a 35 Amp, 800 Volt Bridge with Wire Leads and a Metal Case:
Specify -GBPC3508MW . . . Where “M” = Metal and “W” = Wire Leads (Terminals)
To Order a 15 Amp, 200 Volt, UL Recognized Bridge with Wire Leads and a Plastic Case:
Specify -GBPC1502PWU . . . Where “P” = Plastic and “W” = Wire Leads (Terminals) and “U” = UL Recognized
NOTE: Fast Recovery Bridges (Diodes) Are Available; Please Contact FCI Components.
G BPC - “S” Series Examples
To Order Bridges with the “In-Line” Pin Configuration, Select the Current and Voltage Desired and Add “S” as the Suffix, as
shown in the following example.
To Order a 35 Amp, 800 Volt Bridge with In-Line Wire Leads:
Specify G
- BPC3508S . . . Where “S” = In-Line Wire Lead Terminals
