Product details
Overview
GBU802 from Diodes Incorporated is a standard recovery 8A bridge rectifier in GBU package, rated for 200V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0V max forward voltage at 4A, and 5µA max reverse leakage at 25°C. It delivers 200A non-repetitive surge current capability and is designed for AC/DC power conversion in industrial power supplies and motor control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the GBU802 datasheet, GBU802 pinout, GBU802 application, or GBU802 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM margin for line-voltage transients, thermal resistance (2.2°C/W junction-to-case), IFSM rating for inrush handling, and UL recognition (E95060) for safety-compliant designs.
Technical Context
This single-phase, full-wave bridge rectifier uses glass-passivated silicon die to ensure stable reverse blocking and low IR drift over temperature. Its 1500VRMS case dielectric strength supports reinforced insulation in isolated power stages.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and requires mounting on a 50mm × 50mm × 1.6mm copper heatsink for rated 8.0A average forward current - derating applies for capacitive loads per specification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Withstands peak line voltage surges up to 200V in 50/60Hz AC inputs without breakdown |
| IF(AV) | 8.0 A @ TC = +100°C - Sustains continuous DC output current when heatsink maintains case at 100°C |
| VF Max | 1.0 V @ IF = 4A - Limits conduction loss to ≤4W per half-cycle at typical operating current |
| IR Max | 5 µA @ 25°C - Ensures minimal standby power loss and stable DC bus hold-up in low-power modes |
| IFSM | 200 A (8.3ms half-sine) - Survives cold-start inrush into bulk capacitors without fusing |
| RθJC | 2.2 °C/W - Requires ≥50mm² copper pad for thermal management at full load |
| VB | 200 V @ IR = 5µA - Confirms minimum breakdown threshold matches VRRM rating |
Pinout & Package
Package: GBU through-hole plastic package (UL 94V-0), weight ≈3.7 g, mountable with #6 screw (max torque 5.0 in-lb). Terminals are tin-finished and solderable per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | Input AC terminal 1 | One of two AC input pins; connects to live or neutral leg of transformer secondary |
| AC2 | Input AC terminal 2 | Second AC input pin; completes full-wave bridge input path with AC1 |
| + (Anode) | Positive DC output | Full-wave rectified positive output node; ties to bulk capacitor anode or regulator input |
| – (Cathode) | Negative DC output | Full-wave rectified negative output node; serves as system ground reference or return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| 1500VRMS dielectric strength | Meets reinforced insulation requirements for Class II power supplies and medical auxiliary circuits |
| 200A surge rating | Supports direct connection to unfiltered transformer secondaries without external NTC or fusing |
| UL Recognized (E95060) | Validates construction compliance for end-equipment safety certification (e.g., UL 62368-1) |
| Lead-free & RoHS 3 compliant | Fulfills environmental compliance for global commercial and industrial shipments |
Applications

Use Value: UL E95060 recognition simplifies end-product safety approval; 5µA IR prevents capacitor discharge during standby. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU8K (ON Semiconductor) | VRRM = 200V, IF(AV) = 8A, VF = 1.1V max @ 4A, RθJC = 2.5°C/W | Higher VF and thermal resistance reduce efficiency and require larger heatsink area | Acceptable where thermal headroom exists and UL recognition is not required |
| KBU8B (Comchip) | VRRM = 200V, IF(AV) = 8A, VF = 1.05V max @ 4A, no UL file number listed | Lacks UL recognition; may delay end-equipment certification cycles | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-certified internal systems only |
Compared with GBU802, GBU8K offers identical voltage/current ratings but trades off higher conduction loss and thermal impedance, while KBU8B omits UL qualification - making GBU802 the preferred choice for certified industrial and outdoor-rated designs requiring reliability and regulatory alignment.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous 8A operation?
The GBU802 is rated for 8.0A average forward current at TC = +100°C. Operation above this temperature requires linear derating per the datasheet curve; at TC = +125°C, the current must be reduced to approximately 6.2A to maintain reliability and avoid thermal runaway.
Can GBU802 be used in capacitive-input filter configurations?
Yes, but with 20% current derating applied - meaning maximum IF(AV) drops to 6.4A. This accounts for higher peak currents drawn by bulk capacitors, which increase junction temperature and stress the die beyond resistive-load assumptions.
Is the GBU802 suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
No - while it operates from –55°C to +150°C, it is not qualified to AEC-Q101. Diodes explicitly states that automotive-grade variants require separate PPAP-capable part numbers and IATF 16949 manufacturing; GBU802 is intended for industrial/commercial use only.
Does the GBU802 have polarity marking for PCB assembly verification?
Yes - polarity is marked on the body: a white band identifies the cathode (–) output terminal, and the AC input terminals are labeled "~" adjacent to each pin. This enables visual verification during manual or automated assembly and reduces risk of reverse installation.
