Product details
Overview
GBU1004 from Diodes Incorporated is a 10A, 400V standard recovery bridge rectifier in GBU package, with VF ≤ 1.0 V at 5A, IR ≤ 5 µA at 25°C, and 1500VRMS dielectric strength. It delivers robust AC-to-DC conversion for industrial power supplies, motor control front-ends, and HVAC blower circuits.
For engineers reviewing the GBU1004 datasheet, GBU1004 pinout, GBU1004 application, or GBU1004 equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage rating (400 V), average forward current (10 A at TC = 100°C), surge capability (220 A peak), thermal resistance (2.2°C/W), and UL recognition (E95060).
Technical Context
The GBU1004 integrates four standard-recovery silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration, optimized for line-frequency (50/60 Hz) rectification under resistive or inductive loads. Its glass-passivated die construction ensures stable leakage performance and high reliability across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
With a typical junction capacitance of 60 pF at 1 MHz and 4 V reverse bias, it exhibits low high-frequency noise coupling-critical for EMI-sensitive power entry stages. The device requires derating to 8 A for capacitive loads per datasheet guidance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe AC input voltage ceiling (e.g., 280 VAC RMS) |
| IF(AV) | 10 A @ TC = 100°C - Continuous DC output current capability when mounted on 100 mm × 100 mm copper heatsink |
| VF | ≤ 1.0 V @ IF = 5 A - Forward conduction loss directly impacts thermal rise and efficiency in 12–48 V DC bus designs |
| IR | ≤ 5 µA @ VR = 400 V, TA = 25°C - Low leakage preserves hold-up time and reduces standby power in offline SMPS inputs |
| IFSM | 220 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Withstands inrush surges from cold-started transformers or large bulk capacitors |
| RθJC | 2.2°C/W - Enables precise thermal design: ~22°C rise at 10 A conduction with ideal heatsinking |
| VB | 400 V (min) - Confirmed breakdown voltage margin ensures long-term reliability under transient overvoltage conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU10J (ON Semiconductor) | Same 400 V VRRM, 10 A IF(AV), but VF = 1.1 V (max) and IR = 10 µA (max) at 25°C | Slightly higher conduction loss and leakage; acceptable where thermal margin > 15°C exists | Select when sourcing diversification is required and minor efficiency trade-off is acceptable |
| KBU1004 (Shindengen) | Identical VRRM, IF(AV), and IFSM ratings; RθJC = 2.5°C/W (vs. 2.2°C/W); UL file #E149230 | Higher thermal resistance demands larger heatsink area for same power dissipation | Prefer for legacy designs qualified to Shindengen's qualification data or regional supply chain alignment |
Compared with GBU1004, GBU10J trades lower cost for slightly reduced efficiency and leakage control, while KBU1004 maintains functional equivalence but requires thermal redesign due to +0.3°C/W junction-to-case resistance.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation of GBU1004?
The GBU1004 supports continuous operation up to +100°C case temperature, delivering its full 10 A average forward current rating under that condition when mounted on a 100 mm × 100 mm × 1.6 mm copper heatsink. Exceeding this temperature requires linear derating per Figure 1 in DS30052, reaching zero current at +150°C junction temperature.
Can GBU1004 be used in capacitive-input filter configurations without additional protection?
No-datasheet Note 4 explicitly requires 20% current derating for capacitive loads. In such configurations, the GBU1004 must be operated at ≤ 8 A average forward current to avoid thermal runaway caused by high peak charging currents. An NTC thermistor or active inrush limiter is recommended for direct connection to large bulk capacitors.
Is GBU1004 qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q101?
No-GBU1004 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While Diodes offers AEC-Q101 variants in other bridge families (e.g., GBU1004-AQ), the standard GBU1004 is intended for industrial and commercial use only. Automotive designs require explicit PPAP documentation and IATF 16949-manufactured lots, which are not part of this part number's qualification scope.
What does the marking "GBU1004" indicate on the device body?
The marking "GBU1004" identifies the device as a GBU-series 10 A, 400 V bridge rectifier. "GBU" denotes the package type and construction; "10" indicates 10 A current rating; "04" encodes the 400 V peak reverse voltage. Date code (e.g., "523") follows separately and indicates year-week of manufacture.
