GBL406-BPC01

Overview

The GBL406-BPC01 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It belongs to the GBL series, featuring a plastic encapsulated construction with an epoxy compound rated at UL Flammability Rating 94V-0. The device utilizes glass-passivated junction technology for improved reliability and stability under reverse voltage conditions. Designed for through-hole mounting in the GBL package, it provides robust performance for general-purpose rectification applications requiring high surge current capability and low forward voltage drop.

Feature Summary

• Glass-passivated junctions ensure stable operation and high reliability under reverse voltage stress
• Epoxy molding compound meets UL flammability rating 94V-0 for enhanced safety compliance
• High surge current capability supports transient load conditions without failure
• Low forward voltage drop contributes to reduced power dissipation and higher efficiency

Applications

• AC-to-DC conversion circuits in power supplies
• Battery charging systems
• General-purpose rectification in industrial electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number suffix BPC01 against official MCC documentation to confirm packaging configuration and marking details. Ensure compatibility with RoHS directives if required by your application standards. Cross-reference datasheet specifications for thermal management requirements during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4A average rectified current and 600V peak inverse voltage rating are required in a compact GBL package. Consider thermal derating curves for ambient temperatures exceeding standard operating ranges. Verify lead-free soldering compatibility if using modern assembly processes.

Part Context

This component is part of the GBL series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series offers various voltage ratings and current capacities within the same mechanical footprint, allowing designers to standardize PCB layouts across different product variants while adjusting electrical specifications as needed.

Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include GBL06-E3/A from Vishay and GBU406-G from Comchip Technology. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution. Ensure replacement components meet the same voltage and current ratings for safe operation.
