GBJ806

Overview

The GBJ806-F is a single-phase standard recovery bridge rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It provides an average forward rectified output current of 8.0 A at a case temperature of +110°C and supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. The device features a low forward voltage drop of 1.0 V maximum at 4.0 A and a leakage current of 5 µA at rated voltage. It withstands non-repetitive peak forward surge currents up to 170 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and utilizes a GBJ through-hole package.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction ensures high reliability and low reverse leakage current.
• High case dielectric strength of 1500 VRMS provides robust insulation.
• Surge overload rating allows handling of peak currents up to 170 A.
• UL recognized component (File Number E95060) with lead-free finish compliant with RoHS directives.

Applications

• Printed circuit board applications requiring through-hole mounting.
• Industrial power supply modules.
• Consumer electronics AC-DC conversion stages.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix, such as '-F', which indicates compliance with EU RoHS 2 and RoHS 3 directives. Confirm that the supplier source matches Diodes Incorporated or authorized distributors to ensure authenticity. Check the date code marking format 'YWW' on the physical component to validate manufacturing timing against project requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V blocking capability is required alongside an 8 A continuous current rating. Ensure the application environment maintains the case temperature below +110°C to sustain the full 8.0 A output current. Verify that the PCB layout accommodates the GBJ package dimensions and provides sufficient clearance for the through-hole screw mounting torque of 5.0 in-lbs maximum.

Part Context

The GBJ806 belongs to the GBJ8005–GBJ810 series of 8 A standard recovery bridge rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. This family shares identical mechanical and thermal characteristics, differing primarily in the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings, which range from 50 V to 1000 V across the series variants.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other manufacturers offering GBJ package bridge rectifiers with 600 V and 8 A ratings. Verify that substitute components match the 1.0 V forward voltage maximum and 170 A surge current specifications to maintain circuit performance integrity.
