GBJ2506-F

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The GBJ2506-F is a single-phase standard recovery bridge rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 25 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 600 V. The device utilizes glass passivated die construction for enhanced reliability. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.05 V at 12.5 A and a maximum leakage current of 10 µA at rated voltage and 25°C. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and supports a peak forward surge current of 350 A.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction ensures high reliability and low reverse leakage current.
• High case dielectric strength of 2500 VRMS provides robust insulation capabilities.
• Surge overload rating supports up to 350 A peak current for transient protection.
• UL listed under Recognized Component Index File Number E95060.

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• Printed circuit board applications requiring through-hole mounting.
• General-purpose AC to DC conversion in power supplies.
• Industrial equipment utilizing standard recovery bridge rectification.

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering part number GBJ2506-F against official Diodes Incorporated documentation to confirm availability and compliance with current RoHS 3 directives. Ensure that procurement channels are authorized to prevent counterfeit components. Confirm packaging details, such as tube quantities, directly with the supplier or manufacturer prior to placing orders to align with inventory requirements.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V reverse voltage rating and 25 A continuous current capacity are required. The GBJ package offers a compact footprint suitable for PCB mounting. Consider the thermal resistance of 1.0 °C/W per element when designing heatsinking solutions. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -55°C to +150°C junction temperature limits.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This component belongs to the GBJ25005-GBJ2510 series of 25 A standard recovery bridge rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. The series covers various reverse voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V. The GBJ2506-F specifically denotes the 600 V variant within this standardized product line, sharing identical mechanical and electrical characteristics except for the blocking voltage.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include GBJ2508-F (800 V) and GBJ2510-F (1000 V), provided the higher voltage ratings do not impact circuit design constraints. Other manufacturers producing GBJ-style 25 A bridge rectifiers may serve as alternatives if pinout and thermal specifications match exactly.
