GBLA06

Overview

The GBLA06 is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It utilizes silicon junction technology and features an isolated case construction with four terminals in an R-PSIP-T4 package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600V and a continuous forward current of 4A. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 120A, a maximum forward voltage of 1V, and a typical reverse leakage current below 0.1μA. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junctions provide high reliability and stability under thermal stress.
• Molding compound meets UL flammability classification rating 94V-0 for safety compliance.
• Matte tin plated leads ensure solderability per JESD22-B102 standards.

Applications

• Printed circuit board mounting for AC to DC conversion
• General purpose power supply rectification
• Battery charging circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through official manufacturer channels or authorized distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance and halogen-free status against IEC 61249-2-21 definitions. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required packing code variant. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm terminal plating and mechanical dimensions align with design requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4A single-phase bridge rectifier with 600V reverse voltage capability is required. The GBL series offers a compact form factor suitable for PCB mounting. Consider the 120A surge current rating for applications with potential inrush currents. Verify that the operating temperature range of -55°C to +150°C meets the environmental conditions of the target application.

Part Context

The GBLA06 belongs to the GBL series of glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifiers produced by Taiwan Semiconductor. This series is designed for general-purpose rectification in power supplies and other electronic equipment. The GBLA06 specifically denotes the 600V voltage rating variant within the broader GBL family, which includes options ranging from 50V to 1000V.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the GBL06C2 and GBLA06 from other manufacturers such as Vishay Siliconix or Gulf Semiconductor. Ensure replacement parts match the 4A current rating, 600V reverse voltage, and R-PSIP-T4 package dimensions. Verify equivalent surge current ratings and forward voltage characteristics to maintain circuit performance.
