GBU6MS-BP

Overview

The GBU6MS-BP is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a 1000 V peak repetitive reverse voltage and supports an average rectified forward current of 6 A at a case temperature of 125°C. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.0 V at 3 A and a typical junction capacitance of 42 pF. It withstands a non-repetitive peak surge current of 150 A under standard half-sine wave conditions. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and utilizes a GBU surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junctions for reliable operation
• Epoxy material meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating
• High surge forward current capability
• Halogen-free green device compliant with RoHS standards

Applications

• Printed circuit board mounting in power supply circuits
• AC to DC conversion stages
• General purpose rectification in electronic equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify authenticity by purchasing directly from MCC or authorized distributors, as counterfeiting is a known industry issue. Confirm the specific ordering suffix matches the required packaging configuration, such as bulk tubes or boxes. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and verify that the component is suitable for the intended thermal environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V blocking voltage and 6 A continuous current are required in a surface-mount format. Evaluate thermal management requirements carefully, as the rated current depends on heatsinking. Compare the 1.0 V forward voltage drop against system efficiency targets. Verify that the GBU package dimensions fit the target PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBU series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 6 A current capacity. The GBU6MS variant specifically addresses high-voltage applications requiring robust surge handling and standardized surface-mount integration.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other GBU6x-BP variants from MCC for different voltage ratings if the 1000 V specification exceeds application needs. Verify pinout compatibility and physical dimensions when substituting with bridge rectifiers from other manufacturers offering similar GBU packages.
