Product details
Overview
GBU810 from Diodes Incorporated is a standard recovery 8A bridge rectifier with 1000V peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0V max forward voltage at 4A, 5µA max reverse leakage at 25°C, and 200A non-repetitive surge rating - used in AC/DC front-end power conversion for industrial power supplies and motor drive input stages.
For engineers reviewing the GBU810 datasheet, GBU810 pinout, GBU810 application, or GBU810 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM margin for line-voltage transients, thermal resistance (2.2°C/W junction-to-case), IFSM capability for inrush handling, and UL recognition (E95060) for safety-compliant designs.
Technical Context
This single-phase, full-wave bridge rectifier employs glass-passivated silicon die to ensure stable reverse blocking and low leakage across -55°C to +150°C operating range. Its 1500VRMS case dielectric strength supports reinforced insulation in isolated power architectures.
The device is rated for 8.0A average forward current at TC = +100°C when mounted on a 50mm × 50mm × 1.6mm copper heatsink, with derating required for capacitive loads (−20% current). Junction capacitance is 130pF at 1MHz and 4V reverse bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - Withstands peak line transients up to 1000V in 230VAC systems with safety margin |
| IF(AV) | 8.0 A @ TC = +100°C - Sustains continuous DC output current with appropriate heatsinking |
| VF Max | 1.0 V @ 4A - Limits conduction loss to ≤4W per half-cycle in full-wave operation |
| IR Max | 5 µA @ 25°C - Ensures minimal standby power loss in offline SMPS standby modes |
| IFSM | 200 A (8.3ms half-sine) - Handles cold-start inrush into bulk capacitor banks |
| RθJC | 2.2 °C/W - Enables thermal design with measurable junction temperature rise under load |
| VB | 1000 V - Confirmed breakdown voltage at 5µA test current, matching VRRM rating |

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 = 1000V, IF(AV) = 8A, VF = 1.1V max @ 4A, RθJC = 2.5°C/W | Slightly higher VF increases conduction loss by ~0.4W; lower thermal conductivity requires larger heatsink area | Select if ON Semi supply chain alignment is required; verify thermal margin with layout simulation |
| KBU10M (Shindengen) | VRRM = 1000V, IF(AV) = 10A, VF = 1.05V max @ 4A, RθJC = 2.0°C/W, same GBU footprint | Higher IF(AV) allows 25% overload headroom; tighter thermal resistance improves power density | Prefer for new designs needing extended current margin or improved thermal performance without PCB rework |
Compared with GBU810, GBU8K trades minor thermal and conduction penalties for second-source availability, while KBU10M offers higher current rating and better thermal efficiency in identical mounting - both retain UL recognition and GBU pin compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable mounting torque for the GBU810?
The GBU810 datasheet specifies a maximum mounting torque of 5.0 inch-pounds when securing the device via #6 screw. Exceeding this value risks cracking the plastic package or damaging internal wire bonds, potentially causing premature failure or increased leakage current under thermal cycling.
Does the GBU810 require a heatsink for 8A continuous operation?
Yes - the 8.0A average forward current rating is specified at TC = +100°C, meaning the case temperature must be held at or below 100°C. Without a heatsink, junction temperature will exceed safe limits even at moderate loads; a 50mm × 50mm × 1.6mm copper plate is the reference heatsink used in datasheet testing.
Is the GBU810 suitable for use in AEC-Q101 qualified automotive applications?
No - the standard GBU810 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., GBU810-AQ) with PPAP documentation, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended qualification testing; these carry separate orderable part numbers and must be explicitly selected for automotive use.
How does capacitive loading affect the GBU810's current rating?
The datasheet mandates a 20% reduction in IF(AV) when driving capacitive loads due to high peak currents during capacitor charging. For example, the 8.0A rating drops to 6.4A average when feeding a bulk capacitor directly - designers must apply this derating or add inrush limiting (e.g., NTC thermistor) to avoid overstress.
