PANJIT introduced latest bridge rectifier packaging: the low-profile GBJA and KBJB. In the ever-evolving world of electronic components, where space efficiency is increasingly in demand, the new low-profile packages offer excellent solutions. When integrated into the PCB, the GBJA can reduce the total height by 34% compared to the GBJ, and the KBJB can reduce it by 36% compared to the KBJ package. This substantial reduction in body height makes them ideal for applications where space is at a premium, responding to the increasing demand for compact and efficient power solutions.
Key Features
Low Body Profile Design: The GBJA and KBJB packages are compact, significantly reducing height without changing pitch angles and body width. When incorporated into the PCB, the GBJA offers a 34% reduction in total height compared to the GBJ, while the KBJB achieves a 36% reduction compared to the KBJ package, offering excellent solutions for space-constrained designs.
Design Compatibility: By keeping the pitch angles and body width the same while just shortening the body height, the new packages remain compatible with the original ones, giving designers the flexibility to either maintain the original PCB layout or shrink the overall design size, including the heatsink. This adaptability ensures easy integration into existing designs and optimizes space utilization for various requirements, while also avoiding the risk of quality issues associated with traditional lead-bending methods to fit the design.Target Applications
GBJA and KBJB series are ideal for high-demand applications where compact power solutions are crucial:
• Slim Power Adapters: Perfect for creating thinner, more portable power adapters.
• Power Supplies for Gaming Consoles: Meet the needs of powerful gaming consoles with sleek, modern designs.
• TV Power Supplies: Ideal for TVs, offering unobtrusive and efficient power solutions.
By adopting the GBJA and KBJB series, manufacturers can create compact, efficient power supplies that meet the growing consumer demand for smaller, portable devices such slim TVs or other modern electronic devices.Bridge Rectifiers in GBJA and KBJB Packages

Soitec announced consolidated revenue of 121 million Euros for the first quarter of FY’25 (ended June 30th, 2024), down 23% on a reported basis compared with 157 million Euros achieved in the first quarter of FY’24. This reflects a 24% decline at constant exchange rates and perimeter and a slightly positive currency impact of 1%.
Pierre Barnabé, Soitec’s CEO, commented: “The low point reached in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2025 was anticipated and is in line with our expectations, in a challenging market environment. The absorption of our customers’ RF-SOI inventories is progressing and should be completed towards the end of the first half of our fiscal year 2025. Beyond this quarter, the gradual recovery in RF-SOI deliveries and the continued growth of our increasingly diversified product portfolio will underpin the revenue increase throughout the second part of fiscal year 2025. We therefore reiterate our full year guidance.
Looking ahead, Soitec’s organic growth will be underpinned in all three of its end markets by increasingly powerful megatrends: 5G expansion and the continued premiumization of smartphones, the ongoing digitization and electrification of the automotive sector, the proliferation of edge AI devices, and the expansion of cloud AI computing power capabilities in a more sustainable way. Our innovation and industrial roadmaps are designed to reinforce our leadership in SOI while accelerating the diversification of our portfolio of engineered substrates with new compound semiconductors, beyond SOI.”
