For bridge rectifier thickness between GBPC versus KBPC -- it is the specific manufacturer that makes the difference.
For example -
Fairchild / ON-Semiconductor GBPC is 10.97 to 11.23mm thick.
Taiwan Semconductor - GBPC is 10.97 to 11.23mm thick.
MCC GBPC is 7.4 to 8.5mm thick.
Doitec Semiconductor KBPC is 7.2mm to 8mm thick.
EIC Semiconductor KBPC is 7.1 to 7.9mm thick.
Vishay GBPC is 7.4 to 7.9mm thick.
SIC (whoever they are) and Comchip seem to be the only ones that follows the KBPC being thicker than GBPC.
SIC GBPC is 7.5mm to 8.1mm thick.
SIC KBPC is 10.97 to 11.23mm thick.
Comchip GBPC is 7.5 to 8.5mm thick.
Comchip KBPC is 10.77 to 11.23mm thick.
All of the ON-Semi (formerly Fairchild) bridges that I have been getting have been the thicker style.
ON-Semi did what they do best - they hiked the prices for their bridges to the moon and won't budge on pricing. I don't care for Vishay - the leads turn black far too soon.
Just as bad - have seen what has happened to Aavid heat sinks? Bought out by Boyd and prices have quadrupled since January. Looking into getting heat sinks custom made to compete with the 6222BG heat sinks. The heat sinks shown in last photo - too bad they don't publicize the thermal resistance of these. Those work but are actually a hair too big for bridge rectifiers, would have been better at 29x29mm.
