GBPC608/1

Overview

The GBPC608/1 is a glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier from Vishay General Semiconductor, designed for general-purpose AC/DC full-wave rectification. It features an 800 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) and a 6 A maximum average forward rectified output current at a case temperature of 50 °C. The device exhibits a typical instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.0 V at 3.0 A and a maximum DC reverse current of 5 μA at rated blocking voltage. Packaged in the GBPC6 style with silver-plated leads, it supports a junction temperature range of -55 to +150 °C and offers high surge current capability with a 175 A peak non-repetitive forward surge rating.

Feature Summary

• Glass-passivated junction structure ensures high reliability and low leakage current
• High surge current capability suitable for demanding power supply applications
• Ideal for printed circuit board mounting with UL recognition file number E54214

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm compliance status and delivery mode. The base part number indicates the electrical characteristics, while suffixes may denote RoHS compliance or packaging variations. Confirm that the component meets the required environmental standards for the intended application before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V reverse voltage rating and 6 A continuous current are required for single-phase rectification. Ensure the thermal management design accommodates the specified thermal resistance values. Verify that the operating ambient temperature allows for the derating of the forward current as defined in the datasheet curves.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBPC6 series of single-phase bridge rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V, all sharing the same GBPC6 package and 6 A current handling capability. The GBPC608 specifically denotes the 800 V variant within this lineup.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 800 V VRRM, 6 A IF(AV), and GBPC6 package dimensions. Verify that alternative components meet the same thermal resistance and surge current specifications.
