Bridge rectifier identification part number KPB305G

[Steph.hen]

Hi all, a newby question about a bridge rectifier I'm trying to identify.

I'm in the midst of reparing a battery charger in work which went pop, The bridge rectifier has shorted and took out a couple of other components. The rectifier in question has a part number KPB305G, and it looks like it's obsolete. Does any one know what I could replace it with?

KBP bridge rectifiers are 3A and I find not so popular outside of Asia.
The "305" is 3A and oddball numbering for a 600V part, other manufacturers use "306". You can use a higher voltage part like KBP306, 308, 310 etc. much easier to find.

The fuse should have protected it, and there may be an overload or short on the primary like a blown mosfet.

Thank you, I have a look for one of those.

The fuse and mosfet were blown, also a exploded resistor which were replaced. But I still had a short, which I traced to the rectifier.
