Product details
Overview
GBPC4006 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 40A, 600V standard single-phase bridge rectifier in GBPC40 package with glass-passivated junctions, 400A peak surge current rating, and 1.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance-used in AC-DC conversion stages of industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC4006 datasheet, GBPC4006 pinout, GBPC4006 application, or GBPC4006 equivalent, key selection factors include its 600V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 40A average forward current, low forward voltage (≤1.1V @ 20A), UL recognition (E-326243), and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated terminals.
Technical Context
This quad-diode bridge integrates four silicon junctions in a single molded case with integral heatsink for direct mounting to chassis or heat spreaders. Its glass passivation ensures stable reverse leakage (<10 µA @ 25°C) and long-term reliability under thermal cycling.
The GBPC4006 operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and supports universal mounting-snap-on, wrap-around, solder, or PCB-via four-way terminals aligned per GBPC40-M mechanical drawing with cathode parallel to anode orientation.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay GBPC406 | Same 40A/600V rating, identical GBPC40 package, but uses epoxy-molded construction without integral heatsink | Requires external heatsink for >25A continuous operation; less suitable for chassis-mount thermal paths | Select GBPC4006 when direct metal mounting and lower thermal resistance (1.5 vs ~2.5°C/W) are required |
| ON Semiconductor GBU4J | 40A/600V GBU package (smaller, 22.5 × 18.5 mm), no integral heatsink, higher RθJC (~3.0°C/W) | Designed for PCB-mount only; unsuitable for high-current chassis-mount or snap-on configurations | Choose GBPC4006 where mechanical versatility (snap-on/wrap-around), thermal performance, or UL recognition are mandatory |
Compared with GBPC4006, GBPC406 offers identical electrical specs but lacks integrated heatsink and UL recognition, while GBU4J trades size and cost for reduced thermal capability and mounting flexibility-making GBPC4006 optimal for thermally demanding, safety-certified, mechanically versatile deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GBPC4006?
The GBPC4006 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) of +150°C, with a storage temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. This rating allows operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial power supplies, provided thermal design maintains case temperature within derating limits defined in the forward current derating curve.
Does GBPC4006 have UL recognition and what is the file number?
Yes, GBPC4006 is UL Recognized under File # E-326243. This certification confirms compliance with UL 60747-1 for semiconductor devices and supports end-product safety approvals in North America. The recognition applies to the GBPC40 package configuration as specified in Taiwan Semiconductor's documentation.
What is the forward voltage drop specification for GBPC4006 at rated current?
The GBPC4006 has a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.1 V per diode at IF = 20 A and TJ = 25°C, measured under pulse conditions (PW = 0.3 ms). This value reflects conduction loss in one leg of the bridge; total bridge drop is effectively two diode drops in series during conduction.
How is polarity marked on the GBPC4006 package?
Polarity on GBPC4006 is indicated by a channeled corner and cathode symbol (–) adjacent to the negative DC output terminal. The marking diagram shows "AC" near the two AC input terminals, "+" near the positive DC output, and "–" near the negative DC output, with cathode lead oriented parallel to anode per GBPC40-M mechanical specification.
What mounting methods does GBPC4006 support?
GBPC4006 supports four mounting methods: snap-on (to chassis rails), wrap-around (terminal bending for clamping), solder (direct terminal soldering), and PCB mounting (through-hole insertion). Its universal 4-way terminals and GBPC40 mechanical outline enable compatibility with all these approaches without adapter hardware.
