GBPC4008M

Overview

The GBPC4008M is a single-phase standard bridge rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features an average forward rectified current of 40 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 800 V. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 20 A and a maximum reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 800 V. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 400 A. The component utilizes a GBPC-M-4 package with screw mounting terminals.
