Can any of you electronics gurus identify this component. It’s some sort of AC/DC converter in a battery charger. Seems to have an internal short blowing the fuse.
Have a Google for a KBP10. Some on fleaBay. Or should be able to find an equivalent. 1000V PIV, 1.5A.
Beware, if the rectifier is short it might have taken something else out with it, or the other way around, it seems odd all four diodes in the bridge would blow or that leg would melt, (hard to see from the photo) without it a) the unit over heating, b) some other downstream failure. What does the unit look like further in?
Its has maybe got so hot the mains filter chokes behind have melted out of the circuit board. They should be horizontal not leaning over like that. Or somebody in China had a high speed soldering quality control black day.. I expect there to be more blown parts downstream. Like the mains chopper chip that drives the transformer. Unless this was an Apple we saw you coming you fanboi fool product... the cheapest and easiest to obtain source of working spare parts is usually a complete new unit.
This fellow means a bridge rectifier performing full-wave rectification. "Full bridge" means absolutely nothing.
Winner, fitted a new bridge rectifier 99p and the charger works a treat Thanks everyone for the help .
Worth having a look around to see if anything else has blown up. Unusual for a bridge just to expire.
Please don't try humour in electronics threads - it's like talking about women with an IT technician. Pointless.
Ohm I God! Watt you should do is have the potential to stick to current affairs if you have the capacity.
