Product details
Overview
KBJ406G from Diodes Incorporated is a 4.0A standard recovery bridge rectifier with 600V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0V forward voltage at 2.0A, and 5.0µA reverse leakage current at 25°C, designed for AC-to-DC conversion in offline power supplies and industrial control power stages.
For engineers reviewing the KBJ406G datasheet, KBJ406G pinout, KBJ406G application, or KBJ406G equivalent, this device supports through-hole mounting with #6 screw fastening, delivers 120A surge capability, and meets UL Recognized Component Index (E95060) and RoHS 3 compliance for reliable deployment in safety-critical and high-reliability power systems.
Technical Context
This single-phase full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four silicon junction diodes in a molded KBJ package, enabling unidirectional DC output from AC input without external wiring. Its glass-passivated die construction ensures stable reverse blocking up to 600V and low IR drift over temperature.
The device operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and exhibits 5.5°C/W typical thermal resistance (junction-to-case) when mounted on a 75mm × 75mm × 1.6mm aluminum heatsink, supporting continuous 4.0A average output under thermally managed conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage the bridge withstands without breakdown during AC line cycling. |
| IF(AV) | 4.0 A - Average DC output current sustainable per element at TJ = +150°C with heatsink. |
| VF @ 2.0A | 1.0 V - Forward voltage drop per diode leg at rated conduction, defining conduction loss in power stage. |
| IR @ 25°C | 5.0 µA - Reverse leakage current at rated VRRM, critical for low-power standby and high-impedance bias networks. |
| IFSM | 120 A - Non-repetitive peak surge current tolerance for 8.3ms half-sine, enabling robustness against line transients. |
| RθJC | 5.5 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance, used to calculate heatsink requirements for thermal design. |
| CT | 40 pF - Typical junction capacitance at 1MHz/4V reverse bias, influencing EMI filtering and high-frequency switching behavior. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU6K (ON Semiconductor) | Same 600V VRRM and 4.0A IF(AV), but GBU package has higher RθJC (6.0°C/W) and lower IFSM (100A). | Limited surge robustness in high-inrush applications; requires larger heatsink for same thermal performance. | Select when footprint compatibility with GBU socket is required and surge stress is below 100A. |
| W04M (Vishay) | 4.0A/600V rating in WOB package; VF = 1.1V @ 2.0A (0.1V higher), IR = 10µA @ 25°C (2× leakage). | Higher conduction loss and standby current; not UL recognized (E95060), requiring additional safety validation. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-safety-certified consumer products where leakage and efficiency are secondary. |
Compared with GBU6K and W04M, KBJ406G offers superior surge immunity (120A vs. ≤100A), lower leakage (5.0µA), UL recognition, and better thermal resistance-making it optimal for industrial, appliance, and safety-critical AC/DC front-ends.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for KBJ406G?
KBJ406G has a specified junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. It sustains 4.0A average output current only when mounted on a heatsink meeting the 75mm × 75mm × 1.6mm aluminum plate condition; derating applies above +125°C ambient.
Is KBJ406G suitable for automotive applications?
KBJ406G is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While it operates across -55°C to +150°C, Diodes states that automotive-grade versions require specific change control, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing-contact Diodes directly for qualified alternatives.
Does KBJ406G have lead-free and halogen-free compliance?
Yes. KBJ406G carries RoHS 3 compliance per EU Directive 2015/863/EU and is defined by Diodes as "Green" - meaning halogen- and antimony-free per their quality documentation, with lead-free finish per MIL-STD-202.
How is polarity marked on the KBJ406G package?
Polarity is molded directly onto the plastic body: the cathode output (–) terminal is indicated by a distinct bar or stripe adjacent to its lead, while the anode (+) and AC terminals are identified by standardized KBJ outline geometry and silkscreen markings per DS21206 Rev. 10-2.
