GBJ2004-F

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The GBJ2004-F is a single-phase bridge rectifier from the GBJ series by Diodes Incorporated. It features a 400 V peak repetitive reverse voltage and supports an average forward rectified output current of 20 A at a case temperature of 110°C. The device utilizes glass passivated die construction for reliability. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.05 V per element at 10 A and a peak reverse current of 10 µA at 25°C, rising to 500 µA at 125°C. It withstands a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 240 A. The component is housed in a GBJ package with lead-free finish and RoHS compliance.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction ensures high reliability and low leakage current.
• High case dielectric strength rated at 1500 V RMS.
• Suitable for printed circuit board applications via through-hole mounting.

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General purpose AC to DC conversion in power supplies
• Bridge rectification in industrial equipment
• DC power supply circuits

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required packaging configuration. Confirm that the component meets applicable environmental directives relevant to the target market. Ensure the supplier provides documentation confirming the glass passivation process and material composition as specified in the manufacturer datasheet.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 400 V blocking capability and 20 A continuous current rating are required. Consider the thermal derating curve for operation above 110°C case temperature. Evaluate the physical dimensions of the GBJ package against available PCB space. Verify compatibility with the intended operating frequency and surge current conditions.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the GBJ20005-GBJ2010 family of 20 A glass passivated bridge rectifiers. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining consistent current handling and mechanical footprint specifications across all variants.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include GBJ2002-F and GBJ2006-F, provided their respective voltage ratings align with the circuit requirements. Cross-brand replacements must match the 20 A current rating, 400 V reverse voltage, and GBJ package dimensions.
