Product details
Overview
GBJ6005-F 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; it delivers robust AC-to-DC conversion in offline power supplies and industrial motor controls.
For engineers reviewing the GBJ6005-F datasheet, GBJ6005-F pinout, GBJ6005-F application, or GBJ6005-F equivalent, this part supports high-surge (170A peak), through-hole PCB mounting with #6 screw, and UL-recognized operation - critical for reliability-focused AC input stage design.
Technical Context
This single-phase full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four glass-passivated silicon diodes in a monolithic GBJ molded plastic package, enabling bidirectional AC input rectification without external interconnection. Its 1500VRMS dielectric strength and 1.8°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance support stable operation under sustained 6A average load when mounted on a 75×75×1.6mm aluminum heatsink.
The device exhibits standard recovery behavior (trr not specified, consistent with non-fast/soft recovery classification), low 55pF typical junction capacitance at 1MHz/4V, and operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range - suitable for non-switching, line-frequency rectification where EMI and switching loss are secondary concerns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage the bridge withstands per diode leg; defines safe AC input voltage ceiling (e.g., ≤35V RMS). |
| IF(AV) | 6.0 A - Average rectified output current with heatsink; usable continuous DC output capability in linear or phase-controlled supplies. |
| VF Max | 1.0 V @ 3A - Peak forward drop per conducting diode pair; determines conduction loss (≈2.0V total bridge drop) and thermal dissipation. |
| IR Max | 5 µA @ 25°C - Reverse leakage per diode; ensures minimal standby power loss and voltage hold-up integrity in high-impedance circuits. |
| IFSM | 170 A - Non-repetitive surge current rating (8.3ms half-sine); supports inrush tolerance during cold-start of transformer-based supplies. |
| RθJC | 1.8 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to case; enables precise heatsink sizing when mounted on specified 75×75×1.6mm aluminum plate. |
Pinout & Package
Package: GBJ - Molded plastic, through-hole, 4-terminal single-in-line (SIP) configuration with integrated bridge topology. Dimensions: 30.0 × 20.0 × 17.5 mm (L×W×H), weight ≈6.6 g, UL 94V-0 rated, lead-free tin-plated leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | Input AC Terminal 1 | One AC input node; connects to live/phase side of transformer secondary or mains input. |
| AC2 | Input AC Terminal 2 | Second AC input node; completes full-wave bridge input path with AC1. |
| + (Anode Output) | Positive DC Output | Common anode connection of two diodes; delivers rectified positive rail to filter capacitor or regulator. |
| – (Cathode Output) | Negative DC Output / Common Cathode | Common cathode connection of two diodes; serves as return path and ground reference for DC output. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die construction | Enhances long-term reliability and moisture resistance versus epoxy-passivated alternatives; critical for humid or industrial environments. |
| 1500VRMS dielectric strength | Ensures isolation safety between AC inputs and DC outputs under transient overvoltage conditions per UL/IEC standards. |
| 170A peak surge rating | Withstands transformer inrush and capacitor charging surges without degradation - eliminates need for external NTC or fusing in many designs. |
| UL Recognized (E95060) | Validates compliance with component-level safety requirements for end-equipment certification (e.g., IEC 62368-1, UL 62368-1). |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | LED Streetlight Power Supplies |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 50/60Hz AC from isolation transformers feeding thyristor-triggered DC bus in fan/pump controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Full-wave bridge rectifier providing unregulated DC bus; no timing or control function. Use Value: 6A IF(AV) and 170A IFSM handle motor startup surges; 1.0V VF minimizes conduction loss at nominal load. |
Use Scenario: Converting AC line voltage to DC for constant-current LED driver ICs in outdoor luminaires. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary AC/DC conversion stage; interfaces directly with EMI filter and bulk capacitor. Use Value: UL recognition simplifies luminaire safety certification; 1500VRMS isolation meets reinforced insulation requirements. |
| Appliance Control Boards | AC-DC Wall Adapters |
Use Scenario: Providing low-voltage DC rails (e.g., 12V/24V) for microcontrollers and relays in washing machines or HVAC controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Line-frequency rectifier in transformer-isolated auxiliary supply. Use Value: Through-hole GBJ package enables mechanical stability and thermal coupling to chassis; RoHS-compliant plating meets global compliance mandates. |
Use Scenario: Rectifying transformer output in Class II isolated wall adapters powering consumer electronics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input-stage bridge rectifier before bulk capacitor and linear/switching regulator. Use Value: 5µA IR at 25°C reduces no-load power consumption; compact GBJ footprint saves PCB area vs. discrete diode solutions. |
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/50V rating, GBU package (larger footprint, 22.5×18.5×15.5 mm), VF = 1.1V max @ 3A. | Higher thermal resistance (RθJC = 2.5°C/W); requires larger heatsink for same power dissipation. | Select when GBU footprint is already standardized in legacy designs; verify board cutout and mounting clearance. |
| KBP205 (Shindengen) | 50V/2A rating, KBP package (smaller, 17.5×11.5×15.5 mm), VF = 1.05V max @ 1.5A. | Half the current rating; unsuitable for >2A continuous loads without parallel staging or derating. | Use only in space-constrained, low-power (<2A) applications where GBJ footprint cannot be accommodated. |
Compared with GBU6K and KBP205, GBJ6005-F offers optimal balance of current capacity, thermal performance (1.8°C/W), and compactness for 6A line-frequency rectification - making it preferred for new designs targeting cost, size, and thermal efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for GBJ6005-F?
The GBJ6005-F has a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and a storage temperature range matching that span. Its 1.8°C/W thermal resistance assumes mounting on a 75×75×1.6mm aluminum heatsink; exceeding +150°C TJ risks permanent parametric shift or failure.
Is GBJ6005-F suitable for high-frequency switching applications?
No - GBJ6005-F is a standard recovery bridge rectifier with no specified reverse recovery time (trr). It is intended for 50/60Hz line-frequency rectification only. Using it in high-frequency SMPS (>20kHz) causes excessive switching loss, overheating, and potential failure due to slow carrier recombination.
Does GBJ6005-F require a heatsink for 6A continuous operation?
Yes - the 6.0A average current rating (IF(AV)) is specified with heatsinking. Without a heatsink, derating is required: at +75°C ambient, maximum sustainable current drops to approximately 2.5A. Mounting torque must not exceed 5.0 in-lbs to avoid case cracking.
How is polarity marked on the GBJ6005-F package?
Polarity is molded directly onto the plastic body: "+" and "–" symbols identify the DC output terminals, while "~" or "AC" markings (or absence thereof) indicate the AC input pins. The physical layout follows standard GBJ orientation - AC1 and AC2 are adjacent input pins, with + and – on opposite ends of the SIP body.
