Product details
Overview
GBJ806-F from Diodes Incorporated is an 8A standard recovery bridge rectifier in GBJ package, rated for 600V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0V max forward voltage at 4A, and 5µA max reverse leakage at 25°C. It features glass-passivated die construction, 1500VRMS case dielectric strength, and 170A non-repetitive surge capability-designed for AC/DC power conversion in industrial power supplies and motor control PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the GBJ806-F datasheet, GBJ806-F pinout, GBJ806-F application, or GBJ806-F equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM margin for line-voltage transients, thermal resistance (1.6°C/W junction-to-case), IFSM rating for inrush handling, and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating for automated through-hole assembly.
Technical Context
This single-phase full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a monolithic GBJ molded plastic package with through-hole mounting (compatible with #6 screw). Its standard recovery characteristic (non-fast, non-ultrafast) supports line-frequency (50/60Hz) rectification where low switching loss is not required but high surge tolerance and robust thermal performance are critical.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and delivers stable 8.0A average forward current at TC = +110°C. Its 55pF typical junction capacitance per element and 1.6°C/W thermal resistance enable predictable thermal design when mounted on a 100mm × 100mm × 1.6mm aluminum heatsink.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Withstands peak reverse voltage up to 600V, suitable for 400VAC RMS input with safety margin. |
| IF(AV) | 8.0 A - Sustains 8A average forward current at case temperature of +110°C, enabling compact power supply designs. |
| VF Max | 1.0 V @ 4A - Low conduction loss reduces heat generation during continuous operation. |
| IFSM | 170 A (8.3ms) - Handles high-energy inrush surges common in transformer-coupled or capacitive-input supplies. |
| IR Max | 5 µA @ 25°C - Minimal reverse leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance hold-up circuits. |
| RθJC | 1.6 °C/W - Enables accurate junction temperature estimation when heatsink interface is controlled. |
| VB | 600 V - Breakdown voltage matches VRRM rating, confirming reliable blocking under overvoltage stress. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standard-recovery bridge feeding bulk capacitor and offline SMPS controller. Use Value: Glass-passivated die ensures longevity under thermal cycling; UL E95060 recognition simplifies end-product safety approval. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU8K-E3/51 | Same 8A/600V rating, GBU package (smaller footprint, lower IFSM = 120A). | Limited surge margin; less suitable for transformer-coupled inputs with high inrush. | Prefer when board space is constrained and surge events are mitigated externally. |
| W08M | 8A/600V, WOB package; higher VF (1.1V), higher IR (10µA), no UL recognition. | Not certified for safety-critical end equipment requiring UL file validation. | Select only for cost-driven consumer applications where safety certification is not required. |
Compared with GBU8K-E3/51 and W08M, the GBJ806-F offers superior surge immunity (170A vs. 120A/-) and regulatory compliance (UL E95060), making it preferred for industrial and appliance designs demanding reliability and certification readiness.

FAQ
What is the maximum case temperature for continuous operation of GBJ806-F?
The GBJ806-F is rated for 8.0A average forward current at TC = +110°C. Operation beyond this temperature requires derating per the datasheet's thermal curves. The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, and storage range extends from –55°C to +150°C.
Is GBJ806-F suitable for high-frequency switching applications?
No-GBJ806-F is a standard recovery bridge rectifier with no specified reverse recovery time (trr) and is optimized for 50/60Hz line-frequency operation. It is not recommended for high-frequency SMPS (>20kHz) due to potential switching losses and noise; fast or ultrafast alternatives like GBU8J or DF08S should be used instead.
Does GBJ806-F require a heatsink in all applications?
A heatsink is not mandatory but strongly recommended for loads approaching 8A or ambient temperatures above +40°C. Thermal performance depends on PCB copper area, mounting method (e.g., #6 screw to metal chassis), and airflow. The 1.6°C/W RθJC assumes mounting on a 100mm × 100mm × 1.6mm aluminum plate.
How is polarity marked on the GBJ806-F package?
Polarity is molded directly onto the plastic body: "+" marks the positive DC output terminal, "–" marks the negative DC output terminal, and "~" symbols identify the two AC input terminals. These markings align with the standard GBJ pinout diagram and are visible without magnification.
