Product details
Overview
GBU804 from Diodes Incorporated is an 8A standard recovery bridge rectifier in GBU package, rated for 400V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0V max forward voltage at 4A, and 5µA max reverse leakage at 25°C. It features glass-passivated die construction, 1500VRMS case dielectric strength, and 200A non-repetitive surge capability-used in AC/DC power supplies for industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the GBU804 datasheet, GBU804 pinout, GBU804 application, or GBU804 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM margin for line-voltage transients, thermal resistance (2.2°C/W junction-to-case), IFSM rating for inrush tolerance, and UL recognition (E95060) for safety-compliant designs.
Technical Context
The GBU804 integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with standard recovery characteristics (trr not specified, consistent with standard recovery classification). Its 200A 8.3ms surge rating enables robust handling of capacitor-input filter inrush currents in offline power supplies.
Thermal performance relies on mounting to a 50mm × 50mm × 1.6mm copper heatsink, delivering 2.2°C/W junction-to-case resistance. The device operates from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature and exhibits 130pF typical junction capacitance at 1MHz/4V reverse bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Withstands peak reverse line voltage up to 400V in 230VAC systems with safety margin |
| IF(AV) | 8.0 A @ TC = +100°C - Continuous DC output current capability with proper heatsinking |
| VF Max | 1.0 V @ IF = 4A - Forward conduction loss impacts efficiency and thermal design at mid-load |
| IR Max | 5 µA @ VR = 400V, TA = +25°C - Low leakage preserves no-load regulation and reduces standby power loss |
| IFSM | 200 A (8.3ms half-sine) - Supports high inrush into bulk capacitors without failure |
| RθJC | 2.2 °C/W - Enables thermal modeling when mounted on specified 50×50mm copper heatsink |
| VB | 400 V @ IR = 5µA - Confirmed breakdown threshold aligns with VRRM rating |
Pinout & Package
Package: GBU - 4-pin through-hole plastic package with #6 screw mounting, 3.7g weight, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and tin-plated terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU8J (ON Semiconductor) | Same 400V VRRM, 8A IF(AV), but 1.1V VF max at 4A; slightly higher forward loss | Identical pinout and footprint; used in cost-sensitive consumer adapters | Select when sourcing flexibility is prioritized and 0.1V VF increase is acceptable in thermal budget |
| KBU8D (Comchip) | 400V VRRM, 8A IF(AV), 1.05V VF max; 1200VRMS isolation rating | Same GBU package; common in LED driver replacements where higher dielectric margin is required | Choose when enhanced isolation (1200VRMS vs. 1500VRMS) suffices and UL file alignment is secondary |
Compared with GBU8J and KBU8D, the GBU804 offers the lowest VF (1.0V) among 400V/8A bridges and carries UL E95060 recognition-critical for medical and industrial end-equipment certifications where leakage, isolation, and regulatory traceability are design-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the GBU804?
The GBU804 has a specified junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. Its thermal resistance is 2.2°C/W junction-to-case when mounted on a 50mm × 50mm × 1.6mm copper heatsink. Derating is required above +100°C case temperature per the IF(AV) curve in DS21227 Rev. 8–2.
Is the GBU804 suitable for automotive applications?
The GBU804 is not AEC-Q101 qualified and lacks PPAP documentation or IATF 16949 manufacturing evidence in its public datasheet. Diodes states that automotive-grade variants require direct engagement with their applications team-this part is intended for industrial, medical, and commercial power supplies.
Does the GBU804 have a specified reverse recovery time (trr)?
No-trr is not specified in DS21227 Rev. 8–2, confirming its classification as a standard (non-fast or ultrafast) recovery rectifier. It is not recommended for high-frequency switching topologies (>20kHz) where trr-induced losses dominate.
How is polarity marked on the GBU804 package?
Polarity is marked on the body: a white band identifies the DC+ (anode) output terminal. The two AC input pins (~) are unmarked and symmetrical; the DC– (cathode) terminal is opposite DC+ and adjacent to one AC pin per standard GBU outline.
