Product details
Overview
GBU407-K from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 4A, 1000V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) standard bridge rectifier in GBU package, configured as a quad diode arrangement for full-wave AC-to-DC conversion. It delivers 150A surge current capability, 1.1V max forward voltage at 4A/25°C, and operates up to 150°C junction temperature - deployed in high-reliability AC/DC front-end stages of industrial power adapters.
For engineers reviewing the GBU407-K datasheet, GBU407-K pinout, GBU407-K application, or GBU407-K equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 1000V, IF = 4A, IFSM = 150A, RθJC = 4°C/W, and UL recognition per File #E-326243 - all critical for SMPS input rectification under transient overvoltage and thermal stress.
Technical Context
The GBU407-K integrates four silicon PN-junction diodes in a single-phase bridge configuration with common cathode/anode internal interconnects. Its 1000V VRRM rating enables direct use on 800VAC line-derived inputs, while the 4°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance supports conduction-cooled mounting on PCB copper pours or heatsinks.
Electrical behavior is defined by 1.1V max forward voltage at rated 4A DC load, 5µA max reverse leakage at 25°C, and 45pF typical junction capacitance per diode at 1MHz/4V - parameters directly governing conduction loss, leakage-induced standby power, and EMI filtering design in high-frequency switching supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - supports rectification of 707V RMS AC inputs with safety margin for line surges |
| IF | 4 A continuous - sustains steady-state output current in 50–100W SMPS front-ends |
| IFSM | 150 A (8.3ms half-sine) - withstands inrush currents during cold-start of capacitive-input supplies |
| VF (max) | 1.1 V @ 4A, 25°C - determines conduction loss (4.4W max per device at full load) |
| RθJC | 4 °C/W - enables thermal management via direct case-to-heatsink interface without forced air |
| Junction temp | −55°C to +150°C - permits operation in sealed industrial enclosures with ambient up to 105°C |
| UL File # | E-326243 - certifies dielectric strength (1500VRMS) and flammability (UL 94V-0) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU4K (ON Semiconductor) | VRRM = 800V, IF = 4A, same GBU package and pinout | Limited to 277VAC systems without surge margin; lower VRRM reduces safety margin in 400VAC industrial grids | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 1000V rating and system-level surge immunity is managed elsewhere |
| KBU410 (Shindengen) | VRRM = 1000V, IF = 4A, KBU package (larger footprint, different lead pitch) | Requires PCB layout revision due to different mechanical outline and terminal spacing | Choose only if existing KBU-based designs require drop-in replacement with identical voltage/current specs |
Compared with GBU4K and KBU410, the GBU407-K uniquely combines 1000V VRRM, GBU package compatibility, and UL recognition in a single offering - enabling direct use in 400VAC industrial systems without layout change or external surge protection overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for the GBU407-K?
The GBU407-K has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 1000 V. This rating is explicitly specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table for the GBU407-K variant and distinguishes it from lower-voltage members of the GBU404-K–GBU407-K family. The 1000V rating allows the GBU407-K to safely handle 700V RMS input lines with margin for transient overvoltages.
Does the GBU407-K have UL recognition, and what does that cover?
Yes, the GBU407-K is UL Recognized under File #E-326243. This certification covers dielectric strength (1500VRMS isolation between AC terminals and case), flammability (UL 94V-0 compliant molding compound), and construction suitability for end-product safety standards. UL recognition applies specifically to the GBU407-K and is documented in Taiwan Semiconductor's official datasheet revision E2103.
What is the forward voltage (VF) specification for the GBU407-K at full rated current?
The GBU407-K has a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.1 V at 4 A DC forward current and 25°C junction temperature. This value is measured per diode under pulse conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and reflects worst-case conduction loss in the bridge. At higher temperatures or lower currents, VF decreases - e.g., 1.0 V max at 2 A/25°C.
Can the GBU407-K be used as a direct replacement for the GBU406-K in an existing design?
Yes, the GBU407-K is mechanically and electrically compatible with the GBU406-K - same GBU package, identical pinout, 4A current rating, and shared thermal characteristics (RθJC = 4°C/W). The only functional upgrade is the increase from 800V to 1000V VRRM, which improves surge margin without requiring layout or thermal redesign. No changes to PCB or bill of materials are needed beyond part number substitution.
What is the junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of the GBU407-K, and how is it used in thermal design?
The GBU407-K has a junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of 4°C/W, measured under standardized test conditions. This parameter enables calculation of junction temperature rise above case temperature (ΔTJ = RθJC × Ploss). For example, at 4A/25°C with 1.1V VF, conduction loss is ~4.4W, resulting in a 17.6°C rise above case temperature - critical for verifying safe operation within the 150°C maximum junction limit.
