GBU606-K

Overview

The GBU606-K is a single-phase standard bridge rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a GBU through-hole package with an average forward current (IF) of 6 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 800 V. The device supports a surge peak forward current (IFSM) of 175 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at 6 A and a typical reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 25°C. The component complies with RoHS standards and IEC 61249-2-21 halogen-free requirements.

Feature Summary

• High case dielectric strength rated at 1500 VRMS for enhanced isolation
• Typical reverse leakage current below 0.1 μA ensuring low standby losses
• Robust surge current capability designed for transient load protection
• Molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating for safety compliance

Applications

• Switching mode power supply (SMPS) circuits
• Power adapters and chargers
• General lighting applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code GBU606-K against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the 800V rating and GBU package configuration. Ensure that procurement channels provide valid traceability data and confirm RoHS compliance status prior to acquisition. Cross-reference the datasheet version E2103 for any recent specification updates or packaging changes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800V blocking voltage is required for 6A AC-to-DC conversion in through-hole designs. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 21 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Compare against lower voltage variants like GBU604-K or higher current options if system demands exceed these specific electrical limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBU604-K through GBU607-K series from Taiwan Semiconductor, covering voltage ratings from 400V to 1000V. All members share identical mechanical dimensions and current ratings, differing only in their peak reverse voltage capabilities. The GBU606-K specifically fills the 800V niche within this standardized footprint family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 6A current, 800V voltage, and GBU package. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values. Check for equivalent UL recognition file numbers and ensure the replacement maintains the same junction temperature range and surge current specifications.
