GBP406

Overview

The GBP406 is a single-phase standard recovery bridge rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a maximum average rectified output current of 4.0 A at a case temperature of +90°C and supports peak repetitive reverse voltages up to 600 V. The device utilizes glass passivated die construction within a GBP package, ensuring reliable operation across an operating temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.0 V at 2.0 A and a maximum leakage current of 5 µA at rated voltage and +25°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction for enhanced reliability
• Molded plastic housing with UL flammability classification 94V-0
• Lead-free finish compliant with RoHS directives
• Halogen and antimony free "Green" device

Applications

• Printed circuit board mounting in power supply circuits
• General purpose AC to DC conversion
• Industrial electronic equipment requiring standard recovery characteristics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and packing quantity against the manufacturer's official documentation before procurement. Confirm that the component meets all applicable regulatory standards required for your specific region and application environment. Ensure compatibility with existing assembly processes regarding lead finish and thermal management requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4 A current rating and 600 V blocking voltage are sufficient for the design. Consider the thermal resistance and derating curves if operating without a heatsink or at elevated ambient temperatures. Verify that the standard recovery speed meets the frequency requirements of the target application.

Part Context

The GBP406 belongs to the GBP series of bridge rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated, designed for general-purpose power conversion applications. This series offers various voltage ratings including 600 V, 800 V, and 1000 V options within the same mechanical footprint. The GBP package provides a compact solution for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 4 A current rating, 600 V voltage rating, and GBP package dimensions. Verify that alternative components offer comparable forward voltage and leakage current specifications to ensure circuit performance parity.
