Product details
Overview
GBJ1506-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 15A standard recovery bridge rectifier with 600V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.05V forward voltage at 7.5A, and 10µA reverse leakage current at 25°C, designed for AC-to-DC conversion in industrial power supplies and motor control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the GBJ1506-F datasheet, GBJ1506-F pinout, GBJ1506-F application, or GBJ1506-F equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM rating, thermal resistance (0.8°C/W), surge capability (240A peak), RoHS-compliant lead-free plating, and through-hole GBJ package compatibility with #6 screw mounting.
Technical Context
This single-phase full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a molded plastic GBJ package with glass-passivated die construction, enabling stable operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature. Its 1500VRMS case dielectric strength and low IR support reliable isolation in high-noise industrial environments.
The device delivers 15A average rectified output current when mounted on a 300mm × 300mm × 1.6mm copper heatsink, with I²t fusing rating of 240A²s for transient overload protection and 60pF typical junction capacitance measured at 1MHz/4V reverse bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Withstands up to 600V repetitive reverse voltage without breakdown, suitable for 400VAC input systems with safety margin. |
| IF(AV) | 15 A - Sustains 15A average DC output current with proper heatsinking, supporting mid-power SMPS and linear supplies. |
| VF @ 7.5A | 1.05 V - Forward voltage drop determines conduction loss (≈7.9W per diode pair at full load), directly impacting thermal design. |
| IR @ 25°C | 10 µA - Low reverse leakage minimizes standby power loss and improves efficiency in off-state conditions. |
| IFS M | 240 A - Peak surge current rating enables robust handling of inrush currents during cold start or capacitor charging. |
| RθJC | 0.8 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance defines minimum heatsink requirement for safe 150°C junction operation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: GBJ - Molded plastic through-hole package with 4-plated leads, UL 94V-0 rated, weight ≈6.6g, designed for #6 screw mounting (max torque 5.0 in-lbs).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | Input AC terminal 1 | One of two AC input pins; connects to line or neutral side of transformer secondary or AC source. |
| AC2 | Input AC terminal 2 | Second AC input pin; completes full-wave bridge input path with AC1. |
| + (Anode Output) | Positive DC output | Full-wave rectified positive output node; connects to bulk capacitor or downstream regulator input. |
| – (Cathode Output) | Negative DC output | Full-wave rectified negative output node; serves as system ground reference or return path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated die | Enhances long-term reliability under thermal cycling and humidity exposure, reducing risk of parametric drift in industrial environments. |
| 1500VRMS dielectric strength | Ensures safe isolation between AC inputs and DC outputs, meeting reinforced insulation requirements for Class II power supplies. |
| 240A surge rating | Supports repeated cold-start events without degradation, eliminating need for external NTC thermistors in many motor drive applications. |
| UL Recognized (E95060) | Validates compliance with UL/CSA safety standards for end-equipment certification, reducing qualification time for OEM designs. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supplies | Motor Drive Front-Ends |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU15J-E3/51 (Vishay) | Same GBU package, 600V VRRM, but 1.1V VF @ 7.5A and 15µA IR @ 25°C. | Slightly higher conduction loss and leakage; requires identical PCB footprint but may need thermal re-evaluation. | Prefer when GBU footprint is already standardized and minor VF/IR trade-off is acceptable. |
| KBU1506 (ON Semiconductor) | Same 600V/15A rating, KBU package (larger body, different lead spacing), 1.05V VF, 5µA IR @ 25°C. | Requires PCB layout change due to KBU mechanical dimensions; lower leakage benefits low-power standby modes. | Select when lowest possible IR is critical and board redesign is feasible. |
Compared with GBU15J-E3/51, GBJ1506-F offers lower VF and IR but uses the smaller GBJ footprint; versus KBU1506, it trades slightly higher IR for compact size and identical VF, making it optimal for space-constrained industrial PCBs where thermal margin exists.

FAQ
What is the maximum heatsink temperature allowed for continuous 15A operation?
At 15A average current and TJ = +150°C, the case temperature must not exceed 120°C when using the specified 300mm × 300mm × 1.6mm copper heatsink, based on RθJC = 0.8°C/W and RθCA ≈ 1.2°C/W. Derating is required above 40°C ambient without forced air.
Is GBJ1506-F qualified for automotive applications?
No - GBJ1506-F is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While it meets industrial temperature and reliability requirements, Diodes states that automotive-grade variants require explicit PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing; contact Diodes directly for qualified alternatives like the ABS15M-AU.
Can GBJ1506-F be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the GBJ package is strictly through-hole with #6 screw mounting provision. It lacks SMD-compatible terminations or thermal pad design; surface-mount equivalents would require different part numbers such as the GBPC1506W (SMD bridge) or discrete SOD-123 diodes in custom layouts.
What does the "-F" suffix indicate in GBJ1506-F?
The "-F" suffix denotes Diodes Incorporated's standard lead-free, RoHS-compliant finish with tin plating, per EU Directive 2015/863/EU (RoHS 3). It replaces legacy leaded versions and is compatible with standard SnPb and lead-free soldering processes per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
