6A40GHB0G

Overview

The 6A40GHB0G is a single standard recovery glass-passivated rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor. It features an R-6 axial leaded package designed for through-hole mounting. The device supports a maximum repetitive reverse voltage (Vrrm) of 400 V and an average forward current (If) of 6 A. It withstands a maximum forward voltage drop (Vf) of 1 V at rated current and handles a peak forward surge current (Ifs) of 250 A. The component operates within a junction temperature range up to 150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass-passivated construction ensures reliable operation under high-reverse-voltage conditions
• Axial leaded R-6 package facilitates easy integration into printed circuit boards
• High thermal stability allows sustained performance at elevated temperatures

Applications

• General-purpose rectification in power supply circuits
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load protection
• DC output rectification in low-frequency converters

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes against official manufacturer documentation to ensure correct package and marking specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific tape-and-reel or bulk packaging requirements with authorized distributors prior to ordering. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to validate electrical parameters.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, high-current axial diode is required for general-purpose applications. Ensure the operating voltage remains below the 400 V rating and that thermal management accommodates the 150°C junction limit. Verify that the physical dimensions of the R-6 package fit the target PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 6A series of glass-passivated rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. These devices are engineered for high reliability in industrial and consumer electronics. The 6A40 variant specifically targets applications requiring 6 A continuous current handling with moderate reverse voltage blocking capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the 6A40G and 6A40GH variants from the same manufacturer, provided pinout and package dimensions match. Other manufacturers offering equivalent 6 A, 400 V axial diodes may be considered if electrical characteristics align with design requirements.
