Product details
Overview
GBP6L06 from Diodes Incorporated is a 6A glass-passivated bridge rectifier with 600V peak reverse voltage, 0.90V max forward voltage at 3A, and 5µA max reverse leakage at 600V/25°C, designed for AC-DC conversion in offline power supplies and industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the GBP6L06 datasheet, GBP6L06 pinout, GBP6L06 application, or GBP6L06 equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (RθJA = 45°C/W without heatsink), surge rating (135A @ 8.3ms), junction temperature range (–55°C to +150°C), and UL 94V-0 plastic package compliance.
Technical Context
This single-phase full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a GBP package with glass-passivated junctions for enhanced reliability under repetitive surge stress and high-temperature operation. Its low VF (0.84V typ. @ 3A) reduces conduction loss in 50/60Hz line-frequency rectification stages.
The device supports dual thermal derating profiles: 6A average current with heatsink at TC = 150°C, or 2.3A without heatsink at TA = 25°C. Junction capacitance is 75pF @ 4V/1MHz, confirming suitability for low-noise linear power supply inputs rather than high-frequency switching applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600V - Withstands peak AC line voltages up to 424V RMS (e.g., 380VAC industrial mains) with margin. |
| IF(AV) | 6.0A with heatsink - Supports continuous DC output currents up to 6A in thermally managed designs. |
| VF Max | 0.90V @ 3A - Limits conduction loss to ≤2.7W per half-cycle in full-wave operation. |
| IR Max | 5µA @ 600V/25°C - Ensures minimal standby power loss in no-load or light-load conditions. |
| IFSM | 135A @ 8.3ms - Handles standard AC line surge events (e.g., cold-start inrush into bulk capacitors). |
| TJ Range | –55°C to +150°C - Enables deployment in automotive under-hood or industrial ambient environments. |
| RθJA | 45°C/W (no heatsink) - Defines minimum PCB copper area required for thermal management at rated load. |
Pinout & Package

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated die construction | Prevents moisture-induced junction degradation and improves long-term reliability in humid environments. |
| UL 94V-0 plastic housing | Meets flammability safety requirements for enclosed power equipment without additional flame barriers. |
| Lead-free, halogen- and antimony-free | Complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and automotive green material standards (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb). |
| Matte tin-plated leads | Ensures consistent solderability per MIL-STD-202 Method 208, reducing voiding and cold-joint risk in reflow assembly. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Offline Switch-Mode Power Supplies |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 380VAC three-phase line input after step-down transformer in variable-frequency drive front-end. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Full-wave bridge rectifier converting AC to pulsating DC for bulk capacitor charging and subsequent DC-link filtering.

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 GBP package, 600V VRRM, but higher VF (1.1V max @ 3A) and lower IFSM (100A). | Less suitable for high-surge industrial environments; acceptable in cost-sensitive consumer adapters. | Select GBU6K only if thermal budget allows higher conduction loss and surge margin is not critical. |
| GBJ606 (Vishay) | Identical 6A/600V rating, but GBJ package (larger footprint, RθJA = 35°C/W) and higher IR (10µA @ 600V/25°C). | Better natural convection cooling, but higher leakage may affect standby power in energy-efficient designs. | Choose GBJ606 when PCB layout permits larger package and leakage sensitivity is low. |
Compared with GBU6K and GBJ606, GBP6L06 delivers the lowest forward voltage (0.90V) and highest surge rating (135A), making it optimal for thermally constrained industrial power supplies where efficiency and robustness are prioritized over footprint size or absolute lowest cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous 6A operation?
The GBP6L06 sustains 6.0A average forward current only when the case temperature (TC) is held at or below +150°C, as confirmed by Figure 1 in DS44965 Rev. 4-2. This requires a heatsink with thermal resistance ≤5°C/W (junction-to-case) and adequate airflow or conduction path to maintain TC within limit.
Can GBP6L06 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the GBP6L06 uses through-hole mounting with 4 axial leads in a single-in-line configuration. Its mechanical outline (D = 14.5mm, E = 10.4mm) and lead pitch (e = 3.81mm) are specified for PCB through-hole insertion and wave or selective soldering, not SMT reflow.
Is GBP6L06 qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use?
The datasheet states AEC-Q101 qualification is available "for automotive applications requiring specific change control" but does not list GBP6L06 as pre-qualified. Customers requiring AEC-Q101 must contact Diodes directly to confirm PPAP readiness and IATF 16949 manufacturing site status for this specific part number.
How does the 75pF junction capacitance affect EMI in input filter design?
At 75pF (measured @ 1MHz, 4V reverse bias), GBP6L06 contributes minimal displacement current during AC zero-crossings, resulting in low differential-mode EMI generation. This value is typical for 600V glass-passivated bridges and aligns with EN 55032 Class B conducted emission limits when paired with standard X/Y capacitors and common-mode chokes.
