Product details
Overview
GBPC4006M from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 40A, 600V standard single-phase bridge rectifier in GBPC40-M package with integral heatsink, glass-passivated junctions, and 400A peak surge current rating; used in AC–DC conversion stages of industrial power supplies and motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC4006M datasheet, GBPC4006M pinout, GBPC4006M application, or GBPC4006M equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage (≤1.1 V at 20 A), thermal resistance (1.5 °C/W), reverse leakage (≤10 µA), junction temperature range (−55 to +150 °C), and UL recognition (E-326243).
Technical Context
This quad-diode bridge integrates four silicon junctions in a single molded package with cathode terminals parallel to anode terminals per GBPC40-M mechanical specification. It supports universal mounting (snap-on, wrap-around, solder, or PCB) and meets JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance and UL 94V-0 flammability standards.
Thermal performance is defined by a low junction-to-case thermal resistance of 1.5 °C/W, enabling high-power dissipation without external heatsink augmentation in many applications. The device operates across −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and sustains 400 A non-repetitive surge for 8.3 ms.

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 lacks UL recognition and JESD201 whisker test compliance | Suitable for non-certified or cost-sensitive industrial equipment where safety agency approval is not required | Select GBPC4006M when UL E-326243 and tin whisker resistance are mandatory for field reliability |
| ON Semiconductor GBPC406M | Matches GBPC4006M in VRRM (600 V), IF (40 A), and package (GBPC40-M), but specifies VF = 1.2 V (max) and RθJC = 1.7 °C/W | Acceptable for lower-efficiency or thermally relaxed designs where 0.1 V higher VF and 0.2 °C/W higher thermal resistance are tolerable | Choose GBPC4006M for tighter thermal budgets or higher efficiency targets requiring ≤1.1 V VF and 1.5 °C/W RθJC |
Compared with Vishay GBPC406 and ON Semi GBPC406M, GBPC4006M offers superior thermal performance (1.5 °C/W), lower forward voltage (≤1.1 V), and certified safety (UL E-326243) and reliability (JESD201 Class 1A), making it preferred for certified industrial and motor-control systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GBPC4006M?
The GBPC4006M has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C and a minimum of −55 °C. This wide operating range allows reliable deployment in enclosed industrial enclosures or high-ambient environments. Thermal derating curves in the datasheet define safe current limits above 25 °C ambient, and the 1.5 °C/W RθJC enables effective heatsink coupling to maintain GBPC4006M within this limit under continuous 40 A load.
Does GBPC4006M support PCB mounting?
Yes, GBPC4006M supports PCB mounting via its GBPC40-M package configuration, which features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability requirements. The terminal layout and lead pitch are optimized for through-hole PCB assembly, and the package outline drawing confirms compatibility with standard footprint patterns for GBPC40-M. Mounting torque must not exceed 20 in-lbs to avoid damage.
What does the "M" suffix indicate in GBPC4006M?
The "M" suffix in GBPC4006M denotes the GBPC40-M mechanical variant, where cathode terminals are oriented parallel to anode terminals - distinct from the base GBPC40 version. This orientation enables specific board layouts and heatsink interfaces. The "M" variant also includes UL 94V-0 flammability compliance, JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance, and standardized marking (YWWF format), all confirmed in TSC's G2211 documentation.
Is GBPC4006M RoHS compliant?
Yes, GBPC4006M is RoHS compliant per the manufacturer's documentation. All materials, plating (matte tin), and molding compounds meet EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements, including restrictions on lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE. Compliance is verified through material declarations and third-party testing, and applies to both GBPC40 and GBPC40-M variants in the 40A/600V configuration.
What is the peak forward surge current rating for GBPC4006M?
The GBPC4006M is rated for a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 400 A for an 8.3 ms single half-sine wave superimposed on rated load. This value is validated per JEDEC standards and reflects the device's ability to survive line transients, capacitor inrush, and short-circuit events without failure. Its 664 A²s I²t rating further quantifies thermal energy absorption capacity during such surges.
