Product details
Overview
GBJ2506-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 25A standard recovery bridge rectifier in GBJ package, rated for 600V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.05V max forward voltage at 12.5A, and 350A peak surge current. It features glass-passivated die construction, 2500VRMS case dielectric strength, and is designed for AC/DC power conversion in industrial power supplies and motor drive front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the GBJ2506-F datasheet, GBJ2506-F pinout, GBJ2506-F application, or GBJ2506-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600V blocking capability, thermal resistance of 1.0°C/W (junction-to-case), RoHS-compliant lead-free plating, and suitability for through-hole PCB mounting with #6 screw fastening.
Technical Context
This single-phase full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a monolithic GBJ molded plastic package. It operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and delivers 25A average rectified output current when mounted on a specified 250mm × 250mm × 20mm aluminum heatsink.
The device exhibits low reverse leakage (≤10µA at 25°C, ≤500µA at 125°C) and a typical junction capacitance of 85pF at 1MHz/4V reverse bias. Its I²t rating of 510A²s supports robust transient surge handling during line-start events.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for GBJ2506-F?
The GBJ2506-F has a specified operating junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. This upper limit requires proper heatsinking-specifically, mounting on a 250mm × 250mm × 20mm aluminum plate-to sustain its 25A average current rating at full thermal load.
Is GBJ2506-F compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, GBJ2506-F features lead-free (tin-finish) plating on its leads and is rated for solderability per MIL-STD-202, Method 208. It supports standard lead-free reflow profiles and is RoHS 3 compliant per EU Directive 2015/863/EU.
How does the GBJ2506-F differ from fast recovery or ultrafast bridge rectifiers?
GBJ2506-F uses standard recovery diodes with longer reverse recovery time (not specified in datasheet but implied by "standard recovery" classification), making it optimized for lower-frequency (<1 kHz) line-frequency rectification-not high-frequency SMPS. It trades switching loss for higher surge capability and lower cost versus ultrafast variants.
Can GBJ2506-F be used in automotive applications?
GBJ2506-F is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While it meets industrial temperature and reliability requirements, Diodes explicitly states that automotive-grade parts require separate qualification (AEC-Q101), PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing-so this part is intended for industrial, not automotive, use unless specifically validated by the customer.
