GBJ801

Overview

The GBJ801 is a single-phase standard recovery bridge rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It provides an average forward rectified output current of 8.0 A at a case temperature of +110°C and supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. The device features a low forward voltage drop of 1.0 V maximum at 4.0 A and exhibits minimal leakage current, capped at 5 µA at rated conditions. Designed for through-hole mounting in the GBJ package, it withstands non-repetitive peak forward surge currents up to 170 A. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction ensures high reliability and low reverse leakage current.
• High case dielectric strength of 1500 VRMS provides robust insulation capabilities.
• Surge overload rating accommodates peak currents up to 170 A for transient protection.
• UL recognized component status (File Number E95060) facilitates compliance in end products.

Applications

• Printed circuit board applications requiring efficient AC-to-DC conversion
• Industrial power supply modules
• Consumer electronics adapters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official distributor catalogs to ensure correct packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status and lead-free finish specifications prior to integration. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized channel listings to validate authenticity and traceability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V blocking voltage and 8 A continuous current capacity are required in a compact through-hole form factor. Evaluate thermal resistance characteristics against the intended heatsinking strategy to maintain junction temperatures within safe operating limits during peak load conditions.

Part Context

This device belongs to the GBJ8005–GBJ810 series of standard recovery bridge rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. The series shares identical mechanical dimensions and electrical performance profiles, differentiated primarily by their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V.

FAQ

What is the maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current?

The GBJ801 can withstand a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 170 A for an 8.3 ms single half-sine wave superimposed on rated load.

How is the polarity indicated on the component?

Polarity markings are molded directly onto the body of the GBJ package to assist with correct installation orientation.

What is the typical thermal resistance from junction to case?

The typical thermal resistance (RθJC) per element is 1.6 °C/W, measured with the unit mounted on a 100 mm x 100 mm x 1.6 mm aluminum plate heatsink.
