Product details
Overview
GBJ6005 from Diodes Incorporated is a 6A standard recovery bridge rectifier in GBJ package, rated for 50V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0V max forward voltage at 3A, and 5µA max reverse leakage at 25°C; used in AC/DC power supplies, industrial motor controls, and LED driver input stages.
For engineers reviewing the GBJ6005 datasheet, GBJ6005 pinout, GBJ6005 application, or GBJ6005 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM margin for line surge, thermal resistance (1.8°C/W junction-to-case), IFSM rating (170A peak), and UL recognition (E95060) for safety-critical power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This single-phase full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four glass-passivated silicon diodes in one molded plastic package, enabling compact AC input rectification without discrete assembly. Its 1500VRMS dielectric strength supports isolation compliance in Class II power supplies.
The device operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and delivers stable performance under transient overloads up to 170A (8.3ms half-sine), with typical junction capacitance of 55pF at 1MHz and 4V reverse bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage the bridge withstands without breakdown; sets minimum AC input derating margin. |
| IF(AV) | 6.0 A - Average rectified output current with heatsink at TJ = +150°C; defines continuous DC output capability. |
| VF Max | 1.0 V @ 3A - Peak forward voltage per diode leg; determines conduction loss and thermal load at nominal load. |
| IR Max | 5 µA @ 25°C - Maximum reverse leakage current; critical for low-power standby efficiency and high-impedance sensing circuits. |
| IFSM | 170 A - Non-repetitive peak forward surge current (8.3ms); enables robust startup and fault tolerance in mains-connected systems. |
| RθJC | 1.8 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance with 75×75×1.6mm Al heatsink; directly impacts required heatsink size and thermal design margin. |
Pinout & Package
Package: GBJ - Molded plastic through-hole package with #6 screw mounting hole, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, lead-free tin-plated terminals, and 6.6g mass. Dimensions: 30.0 × 20.0 × 17.5 mm (L×W×H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | Input AC terminal 1 | One of two alternating-current input pins; connects to live or neutral side of transformer secondary or AC line. |
| AC2 | Input AC terminal 2 | Second AC input pin; completes full-wave bridge input path with AC1. |
| + (Anode Output) | Positive DC output | Common anode node of internal diode pair; delivers rectified positive DC voltage to filter capacitor or load. |
| – (Cathode Output) | Negative DC output | Common cathode node of internal diode pair; serves as DC return/reference ground path in ungrounded rectifier topologies. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die construction | Enhances long-term reliability and moisture resistance in humid or thermally cycled environments. |
| 1500VRMS case dielectric strength | Meets reinforced insulation requirements for double-insulated AC/DC adapters and medical-grade power supplies. |
| 170A peak surge rating (8.3ms) | Withstands inrush currents from large bulk capacitors and short-duration line transients without failure. |
| UL Recognized Component (E95060) | Validates safety compliance for end-product certification without requiring additional system-level testing. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | LED Streetlight Power Supplies |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU6K (ON Semiconductor) | Same 6A IF(AV), 600V VRRM, but higher VF (1.1V) and lower IFSM (120A); TO-220AC package. | Requires larger PCB footprint and different mounting; lacks UL E95060 recognition. | Select when higher VRRM margin is needed and UL listing is not required. |
| KBU6K (Shindengen) | 6A/600V, VF = 1.05V, IFSM = 150A, same GBJ package; RoHS compliant but no UL file number published. | Compatible mechanical fit but requires separate safety validation for end-equipment certification. | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial designs where UL recognition is handled at system level. |
Compared with GBU6K and KBU6K, the GBJ6005 offers superior surge robustness (170A vs. ≤150A), certified UL recognition for accelerated safety approval, and lower forward voltage-making it optimal for high-reliability, safety-critical, and thermally constrained AC/DC front-ends.

FAQ
Is the GBJ6005 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the GBJ6005 features lead-free plating (tin finish) and complies with EU RoHS Directives 2002/95/EC, 2011/65/EU, and 2015/863/EU. It meets Diodes Incorporated's "Green" definition, including halogen- and antimony-free materials, and is solderable per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
What is the maximum recommended mounting torque for the GBJ6005?
The GBJ6005 is designed for through-hole mounting using a #6 screw, with a maximum mounting torque of 5.0 in-lbs. Exceeding this value may damage the molded plastic body or compromise internal die attachment integrity.
Does the GBJ6005 require a heatsink for 6A continuous operation?
Yes-6.0A average rectified current rating assumes operation with a 75×75×1.6mm aluminum plate heatsink. Without heatsinking, derating is required; at TA = +25°C and no heatsink, the safe continuous current drops to approximately 2.5A based on RθJC = 1.8°C/W and TJ(max) = +150°C.
Can the GBJ6005 be used in automotive applications?
The GBJ6005 itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified. However, Diodes Incorporated offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., GBJ6005Q) with PPAP capability, manufactured in IATF 16949 facilities. For automotive use, contact Diodes or your local representative to obtain the qualified version and supporting documentation.
