Product details
Overview
DBL156G-T from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1.5A, 800V standard quad bridge rectifier in DBL package, designed for AC-to-DC conversion in off-line power supplies. It features 50A peak surge current capability, 1.1V max forward voltage per diode at 1.5A, and operates up to 150°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the DBL156G-T datasheet, DBL156G-T pinout, DBL156G-T application, or DBL156G-T equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (800V), thermal resistance (15°C/W junction-to-lead), RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and UL recognition for safety-critical power conversion designs.
Technical Context
The DBL156G-T integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with common-cathode and common-anode terminals. Its 800V VRRM rating supports input rectification in universal-input SMPS and lighting ballasts operating from 230VAC mains with margin.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 15°C/W and RθJA = 40°C/W, enabling reliable operation under sustained 1.5A average forward current when mounted on PCBs with adequate copper area. The device meets JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance and UL 94V-0 flammability requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU8K-E3/51 (Vishay) | Same 1.5A/800V rating, but GBU package (larger footprint, higher RθJA = 50°C/W) | Less suitable for ultra-thin adapters due to taller profile and lower thermal efficiency | Select DBL156G-T where PCB space and thermal performance are constrained |
| GBU6K (ON Semiconductor) | Identical DBL package and pinout, but rated at 1.0A/800V - lower IF and IFSM (35A) | Requires derating in 1.5A continuous applications; not recommended for full-load SMPS | DBL156G-T provides 50% higher IF headroom and 43% higher surge rating than GBU6K |
Compared with GBU8K-E3/51 and GBU6K, the DBL156G-T delivers superior thermal performance in compact form factor and higher surge robustness without sacrificing safety certification - making it optimal for high-density, thermally demanding AC/DC front-ends.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for DBL156G-T?
The DBL156G-T has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 800 V. This rating is explicitly specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table for DBL156G-T in the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version C2103). It defines the highest instantaneous reverse voltage the device can block repeatedly without breakdown, making DBL156G-T suitable for universal-input (85–265VAC) power supplies where peak line voltage reaches ~375V and transient margins are required.
Is DBL156G-T RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, DBL156G-T is RoHS compliant and halogen-free according to IEC 61249-2-21. This is confirmed in the FEATURES section of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version C2103), which states both compliance statements directly for the DBL154G-T through DBL157G-T family. The "G" suffix in DBL156G-T denotes green compound, aligning with these environmental specifications.
What is the forward voltage (VF) specification for DBL156G-T at rated current?
The DBL156G-T has a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.1 V per diode at IF = 1.5 A and TJ = 25°C, as stated in the Electrical Specifications table. Since the DBL156G-T is a full-wave bridge, two diodes conduct in series during each half-cycle, resulting in a total bridge VF of up to 2.2 V at full load - a key parameter for calculating conduction losses in DBL156G-T-based power supplies.
Does DBL156G-T have UL recognition?
Yes, DBL156G-T is UL Recognized under File # E-326854. This is explicitly listed in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor DBL154G-T–DBL157G-T datasheet (Version C2103). UL recognition applies to the entire DBL family, confirming compliance with UL 60747-4 for discrete semiconductors and facilitating end-equipment safety certification.
What is the junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) for DBL156G-T?
The junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) for DBL156G-T is 15°C/W, as specified in the Thermal Performance table of the official datasheet. This value reflects the thermal path from the silicon die to the lead frame and is critical for estimating temperature rise under load when the device is soldered to PCB copper. It is lower than typical GBU-package alternatives, giving DBL156G-T a thermal advantage in compact layouts.
