Product details
Overview
GBPC5006M from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 50A, 600V standard bridge rectifier in GBPC40-M package with glass-passivated junctions, 400A peak surge current rating, and 1.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance-designed for high-efficiency AC/DC conversion in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC5006M datasheet, GBPC5006M pinout, GBPC5006M application, or GBPC5006M equivalent, key selection criteria include rated forward current (50A), repetitive peak reverse voltage (600V), thermal resistance (1.5°C/W), mounting compatibility (snap-on/wrap-around/solder/PCB), and UL recognition (E-326243).
Technical Context
This discrete bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave configuration with cathode-parallel-to-anode terminal orientation (GBPC40-M variant). It operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and supports 8.3ms half-sine surge events up to 400A.
Thermally optimized via integrally molded heatsink meeting UL 94V-0, it delivers low RθJC (1.5°C/W) and complies with JESD201 Class 1A whisker testing. Matte tin-plated leads ensure solderability per J-STD-002.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay GBPC5006 | Same 50A/600V rating, GBPC40 package, but cathode-perpendicular-to-anode orientation (non-M variant) | Requires PCB layout revision due to different terminal polarity alignment | Select GBPC5006M when cathode-parallel mounting is required for mechanical fit or heatsink interface |
| ON Semiconductor GBU15J | Lower 15A IF rating, GBU package (smaller footprint), no integral heatsink, RθJC = 3.0°C/W | Suitable only for <1kW designs with forced-air cooling or lower ambient temperatures | Choose GBPC5006M over GBU15J when ≥50A continuous current and passive heatsinking are mandatory |
Compared with Vishay GBPC5006 and ON Semi GBU15J, GBPC5006M uniquely combines 50A/600V rating, integral heatsink (1.5°C/W), and cathode-parallel terminal geometry-making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding industrial rectification where mechanical mounting alignment is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for GBPC5006M?
The GBPC5006M has a rated average forward current (IF) of 50 A at case temperature ≤75°C. This rating assumes proper heatsinking and free-air convection or forced-air cooling per the derating curve in the datasheet. Exceeding this current without thermal management risks junction overheating beyond the 150°C absolute maximum.
Does GBPC5006M have UL recognition and what is the file number?
Yes, GBPC5006M is UL Recognized under File # E-326243. This certification confirms compliance with UL 60747-4 for semiconductor devices and supports end-equipment safety approvals in North America. The recognition applies to the entire GBPC40/50 series, including the GBPC5006M variant.
What is the difference between GBPC5006M and GBPC5006?
The "M" suffix in GBPC5006M denotes the GBPC40-M package variant, where the cathode terminal is oriented parallel to the anode-unlike the standard GBPC5006 (GBPC40 package) with perpendicular cathode/anode alignment. Mechanical dimensions and thermal performance are identical, but PCB layout and heatsink interface differ.
What is the peak forward surge current rating for GBPC5006M and under what conditions?
GBPC5006M is rated for 400 A peak forward surge current (IFSM) under an 8.3 ms single half-sine wave condition, superimposed on rated load. This rating reflects its ability to survive cold-start inrush in SMPS and motor drives without degradation, validated per JEDEC JESD22-A112.
Is GBPC5006M RoHS compliant and does it meet whisker resistance requirements?
Yes, GBPC5006M is RoHS compliant and meets JESD201 Class 1A whisker testing requirements. Its matte tin-plated leads are qualified for long-term reliability in high-humidity and thermal-cycling environments, making it suitable for outdoor and industrial deployments where tin whisker growth could cause field failures.
