Product details
Overview
GBP206 from Diodes Incorporated is a 2A standard recovery bridge rectifier with 600V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.05V max forward voltage at 1A, and 5µA max reverse leakage at 25°C. It features glass-passivated die construction, UL 94V-0 plastic package, and is rated for operation from –55°C to +150°C - commonly used in AC/DC power supplies for industrial control panels and offline SMPS input stages.
For engineers reviewing the GBP206 datasheet, GBP206 pinout, GBP206 application, or GBP206 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600V VRRM rating, thermal resistance of 3°C/W (junction-to-case), 75A non-repetitive surge capability (8.3ms), and compatibility with PCB-mounting in high-reliability, cost-sensitive AC-input rectification.
Technical Context
This single-phase full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a molded GBP package with matte tin-plated leads. Its standard recovery characteristic (trr not specified, but typical for standard recovery bridges) supports line-frequency (50/60Hz) and low-frequency switching applications up to ~1kHz, where low conduction loss and robust surge handling are prioritized over fast switching.
The device uses glass passivation for enhanced surface stability and moisture resistance, and its thermal design relies on direct case-to-heatsink mounting (e.g., 50mm × 50mm Cu plate) to sustain 2.0A average current at TC = +115°C. Junction capacitance is 25pF at 1MHz/4V, confirming suitability for low-noise, low-RF-emission rectification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600V - Withstands peak reverse voltage in AC line inputs up to 424V RMS without breakdown. |
| IF(AV) | 2.0A with heatsink at TC = +115°C - Supports continuous DC output current in compact power supplies. |
| VF Max | 1.05V @ 1A, 25°C - Limits conduction loss to ≤1.05W per half-cycle under nominal load. |
| IR Max | 5µA @ 600V, 25°C - Ensures minimal standby power loss in off-state during AC zero-crossings. |
| IFS M (8.3ms) | 75A - Handles inrush surges from cold-started transformers or capacitive input filters. |
| RθJC | 3°C/W - Enables thermal management via direct case mounting to metal chassis or heatsink. |
| TJ Range | –55°C to +150°C - Validated for use in extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU2K (ON Semiconductor) | Same GBP package, 2A/800V VRRM, VF = 1.1V @ 1A, IR = 5µA @ 25°C. | Higher VRRM allows use in 277VAC lighting systems; slightly higher VF increases conduction loss by ~5%. | Select when 800V blocking margin is required and 0.05V VF increase is acceptable. |
| KBP206 (Comchip) | Same GBP package, 2A/600V VRRM, VF = 1.1V @ 1A, IR = 10µA @ 25°C. | Higher leakage may affect standby efficiency in energy-sensitive designs; identical thermal and surge specs. | Choose for cost-sensitive volume production where 5µA vs. 10µA IR is not critical. |
Compared with GBU2K and KBP206, GBP206 offers the lowest forward voltage (1.05V) among 600V-class GBP bridges, delivering optimal conduction efficiency in thermally constrained 230VAC applications while maintaining identical mechanical fit and RoHS/Green compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for GBP206?
The GBP206 is rated for junction temperatures from –55°C to +150°C. Its thermal resistance junction-to-case is 3°C/W, so sustained 2.0A operation requires mounting to a heatsink capable of maintaining case temperature ≤+115°C per the derating curve. Ambient temperature limits depend on system-level thermal design and airflow.
Is GBP206 suitable for automotive applications?
GBP206 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While it operates from –55°C to +150°C and meets RoHS/Green requirements, Diodes explicitly states that automotive-grade parts require PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing - which GBP206 does not carry. For automotive use, contact Diodes for AEC-qualified alternatives like the ABS210Q.
How does GBP206 differ from GBP208 or GBP210?
GBP206, GBP208, and GBP210 share identical package, thermal specs, forward characteristics (VF, IF(AV)), and surge ratings. The sole difference is peak reverse voltage: GBP206 = 600V, GBP208 = 800V, GBP210 = 1000V. All three use the same die process and packaging - only the diffusion profile is adjusted for voltage rating.
Can GBP206 be soldered using standard reflow profiles?
GBP206 is designed for through-hole mounting and is not rated for lead-free reflow. Its matte tin-plated leads comply with MIL-STD-202 Method 208 for wave and hand soldering. Reflow may damage the molded plastic body or compromise internal die attach; Diodes recommends wave or selective soldering per their packaging guidelines.
