Product details
Overview
GBJ2006 from Diodes Incorporated is a 20A glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier with 600V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 420V RMS reverse voltage, and 1.05V forward voltage per element at 10A - designed for AC-to-DC conversion in industrial power supplies, motor controls, and HVAC systems.
For engineers reviewing the GBJ2006 datasheet, GBJ2006 pinout, GBJ2006 application, or GBJ2006 equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (0.8°C/W), surge rating (240A IFSM), reverse leakage (10µA @ 25°C), and through-hole mounting compatibility with #6 screw fastening.
Technical Context
This bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a single GBJ package to deliver full-wave rectification without external interconnection. Its glass passivated die construction ensures stable reverse characteristics up to 125°C case temperature and low IR drift under sustained blocking conditions.
Rated for 20A average forward current at TC = 110°C, it requires heatsinking above ~75°C case temperature per Fig. 1 derating curve. The 60pF typical junction capacitance per element supports operation up to mid-frequency switching applications with minimal capacitive loading.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage the device withstands without breakdown during transient surges. |
| IO @ TC=110°C | 20 A - Continuous DC output current capability when mounted on appropriate heat sink at 110°C case temperature. |
| IFSM | 240 A - Peak surge current tolerance for 8.3 ms half-sine waveform, critical for inrush protection in transformer-fed supplies. |
| VFM @ IF=10A | 1.05 V - Forward voltage drop per diode leg, directly determining conduction loss (2.1V total bridge drop at 10A). |
| RJC | 0.8 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance measured on 300×300×1.6mm Cu plate, defining minimum heatsink requirement for thermal design. |
| IR @ VR=600V | 10 µA @ 25°C - Reverse leakage current at rated DC blocking voltage, indicating low standby power loss in high-impedance hold-up stages. |
| CT per element | 60 pF @ 1 MHz - Junction capacitance limiting high-frequency noise coupling and EMI generation in SMPS front-ends. |
Pinout & Package
Package: GBJ molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), through-hole mountable with #6 screw hole center; dimensions: 30.0 × 20.0 × 17.5 mm (A × B × C), weight ≈ 6.6 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | Input AC terminal 1 | One of two alternating current input leads; connects to primary winding of transformer or line filter output. |
| AC2 | Input AC terminal 2 | Second AC input lead; completes full-wave bridge input path with AC1. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay GBU20J | Same 20A/600V rating, but GBU package has lower RJC (0.6°C/W) and higher IFSM (300A); lead spacing differs (5.1mm vs 5.0mm). | Preferred where higher surge immunity or tighter thermal budget exists; requires PCB footprint revision. | Select when thermal margin is constrained and board layout allows GBU pitch adjustment. |
| ON Semiconductor GBPC2006 | Identical electrical specs and GBJ footprint; differs in marking method and RoHS exemption documentation (no glass passivation note). | Drop-in replacement for cost-sensitive production; identical mechanical fit and thermal behavior. | Choose for second-source assurance with no redesign effort required. |
Compared with GBJ2006, GBU20J offers superior thermal and surge performance at the cost of footprint change, while GBPC2006 delivers true mechanical and electrical equivalence with simplified qualification for dual-sourcing.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended case temperature for continuous operation of GBJ2006?
The datasheet specifies 20A average forward current at TC = 110°C. Operation above this temperature requires derating per Fig. 1 - at 125°C case temperature, IO drops to ~15A without heatsink and ~18A with heatsink. Exceeding 150°C storage or operating temperature risks permanent parametric shift.
Can GBJ2006 be used in capacitive-input filter configurations?
Yes, but with 20% current derating as explicitly stated in the datasheet. Capacitive-input filters generate higher peak currents and increased thermal stress on the rectifier; using GBJ2006 at 16A max in such topologies maintains safe junction temperature and avoids premature failure due to localized heating.
Is the GBJ2006 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - GBJ2006 features lead-free tin-plated leads and complies with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC (as revised March 13, 2003), including exemptions for glass and high-temperature solder per EU Directive Annex Notes 5 and 7. It meets J-STD-020C Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements.
Does GBJ2006 require forced-air cooling in standard applications?
No - forced air is not required if mounted on a ≥300×300×1.6mm copper heat sink per the RJC test condition. In enclosed industrial enclosures with still air, natural convection cooling suffices up to ~15A load at 40°C ambient; above that, passive finned heatsinks or low-velocity airflow improves long-term reliability.
