GBPC604/1

Overview

The GBPC604/1 is a glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It utilizes the GBPC6 plastic case style and contains four silicon elements configured for full-wave rectification. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 400 V and delivers a maximum average forward rectified output current (IF(AV)) of 6.0 A at a case temperature of 50 °C. It features a peak forward surge current capability (IFSM) of 175 A and a typical junction capacitance of 90 pF per diode. The component operates within a junction and storage temperature range of -55 to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation protects junctions against mechanical stress
• High surge current capability for robust operation
• High case dielectric strength rated at 1500 V RMS

Applications

• AC/DC bridge full wave rectification for power supplies
• Home appliances
• Office equipment
• Industrial automation applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix, such as -E4/51, when sourcing components to ensure compliance with RoHS standards and confirm the correct delivery mode. Cross-reference the manufacturer's document number 88613 to access the most current datasheet specifications. Confirm that the package code matches the required GBPC6 form factor for your design constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the 400 V reverse voltage rating and 6.0 A continuous current requirement. Ensure the thermal management strategy accounts for the specified thermal resistance values. Verify that the operating environment stays within the -55 to +150 °C temperature range. Consider the physical mounting torque limits of 10 cm-kg maximum for secure installation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC6 series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V, all sharing the same 6 A current capacity and GBPC6 package outline. The GBPC604 specifically denotes the 400 V version within this standardized product family.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other GBPC6 series bridge rectifiers from Vishay or equivalent single-phase bridges from other manufacturers offering identical 6 A current and 400 V voltage ratings in the GBPC6 package.
