GBJA801-BP

Overview

The GBJA801-BP is a single-phase glass passivated bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features an average forward rectified current of 8 Amperes and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 Volts. The device utilizes silicon technology with a JA-4 through-hole package, measuring 29.3 mm in length, 4.9 mm in width, and 14.8 mm in height. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, with a maximum non-repetitive surge current capability of 150 Amperes.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides mechanical strength and protects against corrosion.
• Through-hole mounting facilitates integration into standard printed circuit board layouts.

Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC power supply conversion
• Low-voltage rectification in electronic circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity upon receipt, as the GBJA801-BP carries an NRND status indicating it is not recommended for new designs. Confirm that existing inventory meets quality standards before implementation in production runs. Check datasheet revisions for any updates regarding electrical characteristics or packaging specifications prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component only for legacy system maintenance or replacement scenarios where the specific low-voltage rating and 8A current capacity match the original design requirements. Evaluate alternative active components if designing new equipment due to the discontinued status. Ensure thermal management strategies account for the specified operating temperature limits during continuous operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBJA series of bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series offers various current and voltage ratings packaged in the JA-4 form factor. The GBJA801-BP specifically targets applications requiring robust low-voltage rectification with high surge tolerance.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 8A, 50V bridge rectifiers in the JA-4 package such as the GBJ805 or similar variants from different manufacturers, provided pinout and thermal characteristics are compatible.
