GBJ6D

Overview

The GBJ6D is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier from the GBJ series, manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. It features a glass-passivated junction and operates within a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) range of 100 V to 400 V, with the 'D' suffix indicating a 200 V rating. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current (IO) of 6 A at an ambient temperature of 25 °C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.05 V at 3 A and a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 5 µA at 25 °C. It withstands a maximum forward surge current (IFSM) of 80 A for an 8.3 ms pulse width. The component operates across a temperature range of -50 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Small size, high heat-conducting performance
• Thermal welding performance: 260 oC/10 s
• Weight: 7.25 g (0.25 Oz)
• Not ESD Sensitive

Applications

• Printed circuit board mounting applications
• General-purpose AC to DC conversion
• Power supply circuits requiring compact bridge rectification

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact voltage rating corresponding to the 'D' suffix against official datasheets before procurement. Confirm compliance with RoHS provisions and UL 94V-0 flammability standards as specified in the manufacturer documentation. Ensure thermal management requirements are met, particularly if operating near maximum ratings or without a heatsink.

Selection Notes

Select the GBJ6D when a 200 V peak reverse voltage and 6 A continuous forward current are required in a compact DIP package. Consider derating the current by 20% for capacitive loads. Evaluate thermal resistance values based on whether a PCB-mounted heatsink is utilized, as this significantly impacts thermal dissipation capabilities.

Part Context

The GBJ6D belongs to the GBJ series of single-phase glass passivated silicon bridge rectifiers. This series offers types ranging from 100 V to 400 V VRRM. The GBJ package provides a small footprint with high heat-conducting performance, making it suitable for space-constrained designs. The series is compliant with RoHS provisions and utilizes epoxy resin material meeting UL 94V-0 standards.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other GBJ series parts like GBJ6B (100 V) or GBJ6G (400 V) if voltage ratings differ. Verify pinout compatibility and physical dimensions match the existing PCB layout. Ensure equivalent thermal characteristics and current handling capabilities are maintained.
