GBJ10D

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The GBJ10D is a single-phase glass passivated silicon bridge rectifier from the GBJ series, manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. It features a compact Single in-line DIP package designed for high heat-conducting performance and thermal welding capability at 260°C for 10 seconds. The component supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 10 A and offers a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 200 V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.05 V at 5 A and a maximum reverse current leakage of 5 µA at rated DC blocking voltage. It operates within an ambient temperature range of -50 to 150 °C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Single in-line DIP package with small size and high heat-conducting performance
• Glass passivated silicon construction ensuring low forward voltage and high surge current capability
• Epoxy resin material compliant with UL 94V-0 flammability standards
• Compliant with RoHS provisions

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General purpose AC to DC conversion in resistive loads
• Half-wave or full-wave rectification circuits operating at 60 Hz
• Power supply units requiring compact DIP mounting solutions

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official datasheets to confirm the exact voltage rating, as the GBJ10 series includes variants with different VRRM values. Ensure that procurement specifications match the required thermal management strategy, particularly regarding PCB heatsink requirements for optimal dissipation. Confirm compliance with RoHS and UL 94V-0 standards if mandated by the end application.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select the GBJ10D when a 200 V peak reverse voltage rating is required for 10 A applications. Consider the thermal resistance values based on whether a heatsink is used; without a heatsink, RΘJA is 26 °C/W, while with a recommended heatsink, it drops to 2.3 °C/W. Derate the current by 20% if the load is capacitive. Ensure the operating temperature stays within the -50 to 150 °C junction range.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

The GBJ10D belongs to the GBJ10B through GBJ10G family of single-phase bridge rectifiers. This series is characterized by its glass passivation and DIP packaging, distinguishing it from larger through-hole packages like GBU or DB. The 'D' suffix specifically denotes the 200 V voltage rating variant within this current-rated family.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must maintain the 10 A current rating, 200 V reverse voltage, and GBJ package footprint. Verify that substitute components offer comparable thermal resistance and forward voltage characteristics to ensure circuit performance parity.
