GBPC606/1

Overview

The GBPC606/1 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It utilizes the GBPC molded plastic package with four pins for through-hole mounting. The device features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (Vrrm) of 600 V and an average forward rectified current (If) of 6 A. It supports a peak non-repetitive forward surge current (Ifsm) of 175 A. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, with a typical peak forward voltage drop of 1 V at rated current.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junctions provide high reliability and stability under thermal stress.
• Molded plastic case offers high dielectric strength and UL flammability classification 94V-0.
• Terminals are plated and solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 standards.

Applications

• Printed circuit board power supply circuits
• General purpose AC to DC conversion
• High temperature soldering applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Vishay documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and marking variations. Ensure the procurement source provides valid RoHS compliance data if required by the design specifications. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm current production status and availability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6 A continuous current rating and 600 V blocking voltage are required in a compact GBPC footprint. Consider the 175 A surge capability for transient protection needs. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -55°C to +150°C temperature range for optimal performance and longevity.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC6 series of glass-passivated bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series is designed for general-purpose applications requiring reliable AC-to-DC conversion. The GBPC606 variant specifically targets 6 A current loads with 600 V reverse voltage capability, fitting into standard through-hole PCB layouts.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 6 A, 600 V bridge rectifiers in the GBPC package such as the VS-GBPC606 or equivalent parts from other manufacturers like Taitron Components' GBPC606. Ensure mechanical dimensions and terminal configurations match before substitution.
