The GBL06 is a single-phase bridge rectifier designed for converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) in various electronic applications. It is particularly suitable for devices such as monitors, TVs, printers, switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), adapters, audio equipment, and home appliances.

Key Specifications:

• Maximum Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage (VRRM): 600V
• Maximum RMS Voltage (VRMS): 420V
• Maximum DC Blocking Voltage (VDC): 600V
• Maximum Average Forward Rectified Current (IF(AV)): 4A
• Forward Voltage Drop (VF) at 4A: Approximately 1.0V
• Peak Forward Surge Current (IFSM): 150A
• Operating Junction Temperature Range (TJ): -55°C to +150°C

These specifications indicate that the GBL06 can efficiently handle AC to DC conversion in circuits requiring up to 4A of current and can withstand significant voltage levels, making it versatile for various power rectification needs.

Physical Characteristics:

The GBL06 bridge rectifier typically comes in a GBL case style, designed for through-hole mounting. This package is ideal for printed circuit boards (PCBs) and offers high surge current capability, making it suitable for applications where space and durability are considerations.

Applications:

Due to its robust voltage and current handling capabilities, the GBL06 is commonly used in:

• AC/DC Bridge Full-Wave Rectification: Converting AC input into DC output for electronic devices.
