Product details
Overview
GBJ15005 from Diodes Incorporated is a 15A standard recovery bridge rectifier in GBJ package, rated for 50V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.05V max forward voltage at 7.5A, and 10µA max reverse leakage at 25°C. It delivers 240A peak surge current capability and is designed for AC/DC power conversion in industrial power supplies and motor control PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the GBJ15005 datasheet, GBJ15005 pinout, GBJ15005 application, or GBJ15005 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM margin for line-voltage transients, thermal resistance (RθJC = 0.8°C/W) under heatsink mounting, and UL recognition (E95060) for safety-compliant designs.
Technical Context
This single-phase full-wave bridge rectifier uses glass-passivated silicon die to achieve stable reverse blocking and low conduction loss. Its 1500VRMS case dielectric strength ensures isolation integrity between AC input and DC output terminals under high-voltage stress.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and supports through-hole mounting with #6 screw fastening (5.0 in-lbs max torque). Thermal performance is specified with a 300mm × 300mm × 1.6mm copper plate heatsink per element.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage the bridge can block without breakdown; sets minimum AC input voltage derating margin. |
| IF(AV) | 15 A - Average rectified output current with heatsink at TJ = +150°C; defines continuous DC load capability. |
| VF Max | 1.05 V @ 7.5A - Peak forward voltage drop per diode pair; determines conduction loss and thermal rise at nominal load. |
| IR Max | 10 µA @ 25°C - Maximum reverse leakage current at rated VRRM; impacts standby power and high-impedance circuit stability. |
| IFSM | 240 A - Non-repetitive peak forward surge current (8.3ms half-sine); enables robustness against inrush and fault currents. |
| RθJC | 0.8 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; used with heatsink design to calculate maximum allowable power dissipation. |
| VB | 50 V - Breakdown voltage at IR = 10µA, TJ = +25°C; confirms minimum reverse blocking threshold under test conditions. |
Pinout & Package
Package: GBJ molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), 6.6g weight, through-hole mountable with #6 screw. Dimensions: 30.0mm × 20.0mm × 17.5mm (L×W×H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | AC Input Terminal 1 | One leg of AC input; connects to live or neutral depending on board layout; symmetrical with AC2 for full-wave operation. |
| AC2 | AC Input Terminal 2 | Second AC input leg; forms complete bridge input path with AC1; polarity not fixed-reversible for wiring flexibility. |
| + (Anode Common) | DC Positive Output | Common anode node of internal diode pair; delivers rectified positive DC output to filter capacitor or load. |
| – (Cathode Common) | DC Negative Output | Common cathode node of internal diode pair; serves as return path and ground reference for DC output stage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die construction | Enhances long-term reliability and moisture resistance in humid or thermally cycling environments. |
| 1500VRMS case dielectric strength | Validated isolation barrier between AC input and DC output terminals; meets reinforced insulation requirements. |
| Surge rating: 240A peak (8.3ms) | Withstands motor startup inrush, transformer energization spikes, and lightning-induced transients without failure. |
| UL Recognized Component (E95060) | Confirms compliance with UL 60747-4 for discrete semiconductors; reduces certification effort for end equipment. |
| Lead-free, RoHS 3 compliant (2015/863/EU) | Meets global environmental regulations; tin-plated leads ensure solderability per MIL-STD-202, Method 208. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay GBU15K | Same 15A IF(AV), 50V VRRM, but GBU package (smaller footprint, lower RθJC = 0.7°C/W); VF = 1.1V max. | Preferred where board space is constrained and thermal interface is optimized; less mechanical robustness for screw-mounting. | Select when PCB real estate is limited and heatsinking is via direct pad contact rather than screw-mounted heatsink. |
| ON Semiconductor GBPC1505 | Same 15A/50V rating, GBPC package (larger than GBJ); VF = 1.0V max; IFSM = 220A; UL recognized (E154277). | Better conduction efficiency but lower surge tolerance; requires larger mounting area and different screw pattern. | Choose when lowest forward loss is critical and surge events are infrequent; verify mechanical compatibility with existing heatsink holes. |
Compared with GBU15K and GBPC1505, GBJ15005 offers superior mechanical mounting rigidity via #6 screw, higher surge rating (240A vs. 220A), and UL-recognized isolation-making it optimal for industrial equipment requiring field-serviceable, high-reliability AC front-ends.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The GBJ15005 supports continuous operation up to +150°C junction temperature when mounted on a specified 300mm × 300mm × 1.6mm copper heatsink. Derating is required above this temperature, and the storage range extends from –55°C to +150°C. Thermal design must account for RθJC = 0.8°C/W and ambient conditions to avoid exceeding TJ(max).
Is GBJ15005 suitable for automotive applications?
GBJ15005 is not AEC-Q101 qualified and is not recommended for automotive safety-critical systems. While it meets RoHS 3 and operates across –55°C to +150°C, Diodes explicitly states that automotive-grade parts require PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing-available only in designated AEC-qualified variants, not the GBJ15005-F.
How does the GBJ package differ from GBU or GBPC packages?
The GBJ package is larger than GBU (20.0mm × 17.5mm vs. 17.0mm × 14.0mm) and smaller than GBPC (22.0mm × 20.0mm), features a dedicated #6 screw mounting hole, and is optimized for mechanical stability in high-vibration environments. Unlike GBU, it lacks lead-forming flexibility; unlike GBPC, it has lower thermal resistance than most GBPC variants.
Can GBJ15005 be used without a heatsink?
No-GBJ15005 is rated for 15A average current only with a heatsink (300mm × 300mm × 1.6mm copper plate). Without heatsinking, its thermal limit drops significantly; at TA = +25°C and no heatsink, the maximum sustainable IF(AV) is approximately 3.5A based on RθJA ≈ 22°C/W (estimated from package geometry and material data), risking thermal runaway above that level.
