Product details
Overview
DBL204G-T from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2A, 400V standard quad bridge rectifier in DBL package, featuring 50A peak surge current capability, 1.15V max forward voltage per diode at 2A, and 150°C maximum junction temperature. It is designed for AC/DC conversion in compact power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the DBL204G-T datasheet, DBL204G-T pinout, DBL204G-T application, or DBL204G-T equivalent, key selection factors include repetitive peak reverse voltage (400V), thermal resistance (RθJL = 15°C/W), RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and UL recognition (E-326854).
Technical Context
The DBL204G-T integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with common-cathode and common-anode terminals externally accessible. Its DBL molded plastic package supports surface-mount assembly and meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 15°C/W and RθJA = 40°C/W, enabling reliable operation up to 150°C junction temperature. Reverse leakage remains ≤2 µA at 25°C and ≤500 µA at 125°C under rated VRRM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage per diode; defines safe AC input voltage ceiling (e.g., ≤280 VRMS) |
| IF | 2 A - Continuous average forward current; determines steady-state power handling in SMPS output stage |
| IFSM | 50 A - Non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine); supports inrush tolerance during cold start |
| VF (max) | 1.15 V - Forward voltage per diode at 2 A and 25°C; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise |
| RθJL | 15 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables direct heatsinking via PCB copper pour or lead frame |
| TJ(max) | 150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; sets upper limit for ambient + power dissipation design margin |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU2K-E3/51 (Vishay) | Same 2 A / 400 V rating, but GBU package (larger footprint, higher RθJA = 50°C/W) | Less suitable for ultra-compact layouts; requires more PCB area and thermal relief | Choose when legacy GBU footprint compatibility is required over size optimization |
| GBU2J (ON Semiconductor) | Identical DBL-equivalent mechanical outline, but rated at 600 V VRRM; otherwise matches IF, IFSM, and VF | Over-spec'd reverse voltage margin may be unnecessary in 230 VAC-only systems | Prefer for designs needing future-proofing against higher-line-voltage variants or transient spikes |
Compared with GBU2K-E3/51, DBL204G-T offers superior thermal efficiency (RθJL = 15°C/W vs. ~25°C/W) and smaller footprint; versus GBU2J, it provides tighter voltage matching for 400 V–rated applications while reducing cost and BOM complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for DBL204G-T?
The DBL204G-T is rated for 2 A average forward current (IF) at 25°C ambient with adequate heatsinking. Derating is required above 25°C per the forward current derating curve in the datasheet; at 75°C ambient, usable current drops to approximately 1.4 A. This rating applies to the entire bridge, not per diode.
Does DBL204G-T have UL recognition, and what is the file number?
Yes, DBL204G-T is UL Recognized under file number E-326854. This certification confirms compliance with UL 60747-4 for semiconductor devices and supports end-product safety approvals in North American markets. The marking "G" on the device denotes green (halogen-free) compound per IEC 61249-2-21.
What is the forward voltage drop of DBL204G-T at rated current?
The DBL204G-T exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.15 V per diode at IF = 2 A and TJ = 25°C, measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms). Total bridge conduction loss at full load is approximately 2.3 V, directly impacting efficiency and thermal design in high-density power supplies.
Can DBL204G-T be used in place of DBL205G-T or DBL206G-T?
No - DBL204G-T is rated for 400 V VRRM, whereas DBL205G-T and DBL206G-T are rated for 600 V and 800 V respectively. Substituting DBL204G-T in circuits designed for higher reverse voltage risks premature breakdown. Always match VRRM to the peak AC input voltage plus safety margin.
What does the "-T" suffix indicate in DBL204G-T?
The "-T" suffix in DBL204G-T denotes tube packaging: 50 units per tube. This is the standard ordering option for DBL204G-T; tape-and-reel (e.g., -TR) is not offered for this variant. The "G" indicates halogen-free molding compound compliant with IEC 61249-2-21.
