GBJA804-BP

Overview

The GBJA804-BP is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It utilizes silicon technology and features a JA-4 through-hole package with solder pin termination. The device supports an average forward current of 8 A and withstands a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 400 V, corresponding to a maximum RMS voltage of 280 V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at rated current and a low reverse leakage current of 5 uA. It handles a maximum surge current of 135 A and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction construction for enhanced reliability and stability under varying thermal conditions.
• High surge current capability designed to withstand transient overloads during power-up or fault conditions.
• Low forward voltage drop characteristic contributes to improved efficiency and reduced heat generation in rectification circuits.

Applications

• AC-to-DC conversion in general-purpose power supply units.
• Bridge rectification stages in battery charging systems.
• Power conditioning modules in industrial control equipment.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official MCC documentation to confirm availability status, as some variants in this series may be marked as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). Ensure that the procurement channel provides valid manufacturer traceability and compliance certificates such as RoHS and REACH before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a through-hole mounting solution is required for 8 A rectification applications with a 400 V reverse voltage rating. Compare the JA-4 package dimensions against PCB layout constraints. Consider the thermal management requirements associated with the 1.1 V forward voltage drop at full load current to ensure reliable operation within the specified temperature range.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBJA series of glass passivated bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series offers various current and voltage ratings within the same JA-4 through-hole form factor, allowing for standardized mechanical design across different power requirements while maintaining consistent electrical performance characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 8 A current rating, 400 V reverse voltage, and JA-4 through-hole package. Verify compatibility with equivalent parts from other manufacturers ensuring identical pinout configuration and similar thermal and electrical specifications.
