GBJ3506

Overview

The GBJ3506 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions, designed for high-current applications. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and an average forward rectified current of 35 A. The device utilizes standard recovery technology with a typical forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at the rated current. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and exhibits a low reverse leakage current of 5 µA at the maximum reverse voltage rating.

Feature Summary

• High current capacity suitable for power supply circuits
• Robust thermal performance across wide operating temperatures
• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency

Applications

• AC-DC converter modules
• Battery chargers
• General-purpose rectification in industrial equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official datasheets to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the component meets required RoHS compliance standards and matches the specified package type. Cross-reference electrical parameters such as voltage and current ratings with design requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 35 A current rating and 600 V blocking voltage are required in a through-hole configuration. Ensure the application environment supports the specified junction temperature range. Verify that the standard recovery speed aligns with the circuit's switching frequency requirements.

Part Context

The GBJ3506 belongs to the GBJ series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from SMC Diode Solutions. This series is characterized by its robust construction and suitability for general-purpose rectification tasks. The GBJ3506 specifically offers a 600 V rating, complementing other variants in the series with different voltage capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the GBJ3508 (800 V rating) or GBJ3510 (1000 V rating) from the same manufacturer, provided the higher voltage ratings do not impact cost or availability. Other manufacturers offering equivalent 35 A, 600 V bridge rectifiers in the GBJ package may also be considered if electrical specifications match.
