GBJA608-BP

Overview

The GBJA608-BP is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a glass passivated chip junction and an epoxy body rated UL 94 V-0. The device supports a maximum average rectified forward current of 6 A at a case temperature of 125°C. Its peak repetitive reverse voltage is 800 V, with a corresponding RMS reverse voltage of 560 V. The component handles a non-repetitive peak surge current of 135 A under an 8.3 ms half-sine wave condition. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V and a reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 25°C. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction for enhanced reliability
• High surge forward current capability
• Epoxy meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating
• Lead-free finish and RoHS compliant

Applications

• AC to DC power supply circuits
• Battery charging systems
• General-purpose rectification in industrial equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify authenticity through authorized MCC distributors or direct purchase from the manufacturer. Counterfeit components are prevalent; unauthorized sources lack traceability and warranty coverage. Confirm the BP suffix indicates RoHS compliance and halogen-free status. Ensure storage conditions align with high-temperature solder exemption guidelines specified in the datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V blocking voltage and 6 A continuous current capacity are required. The JA-4 through-hole package facilitates standard PCB mounting. Consider thermal resistance values if heatsinking is necessary. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -55°C to 150°C junction temperature range for optimal performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBJA6005 through GBJA610 series, which covers voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V. All variants share identical physical dimensions and current ratings, differing only in their peak repetitive reverse voltage specifications. The GBJA608-BP specifically targets applications requiring 800 V isolation.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other GBJA series parts with matching 6 A current and 800 V voltage ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before substitution. Ensure replacement devices meet the same UL 94 V-0 and RoHS requirements.
