GBP6L06

Overview

The GBP6L06 is a 6A low forward voltage bridge rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600V and an average rectified output current of 6.0A at a junction temperature of +150°C with a heatsink, or 2.3A without one. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.90V at 3A and a maximum leakage current of 5µA at 600V. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and utilizes a GBP through-hole package.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction for reliable operation
• Low forward voltage drop characteristics
• Suitable for printed circuit board mounting
• RoHS compliant and halogen-free green device

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• AC to DC conversion circuits
• Industrial control systems requiring robust diode protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging details. The standard tube configuration contains 35 units per carrier. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS and lead-free status directly with the manufacturer's datasheet before procurement to ensure alignment with project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600V rating and 6A continuous current capability are required. Ensure thermal management strategies account for the specified derating curves if operating without a dedicated heatsink. Verify that the GBP package dimensions fit the target PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBP series of glass passivated bridge rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. It shares the physical footprint and general construction methodology with other variants in the family, differing primarily in voltage ratings and current handling capabilities defined by the specific model number.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 6A current rating, 600V voltage rating, and GBP package outline. Verify forward voltage and thermal resistance parameters to ensure equivalent performance in the specific application environment.
