GBJL20005-BP

Overview

The GBJL20005-BP is a single-phase glass passivated bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features an average forward current rating of 20 A at a case temperature of 100°C and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. The device has a maximum RMS voltage of 35 V and a DC blocking voltage of 50 V. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.05 V at 25°C, a peak forward surge current of 240 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave, and a typical junction capacitance of 60 pF measured at 1.0 MHz with 4.0 V reverse bias. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip construction provides high reliability and resistance to voltage transients.
• Epoxy material meets UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings for safety compliance.
• Designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards with specified mounting torque.

Applications

• General purpose AC to DC conversion in power supply circuits.
• Bridge rectification in low-voltage electronic equipment.
• Power adapters and chargers requiring 50V reverse voltage tolerance.

Procurement Notes

Verify the authenticity of the GBJL20005-BP by purchasing exclusively from Micro Commercial Components or their authorized distributors to ensure traceability and quality standards. Confirm that the ordering suffix indicates RoHS compliance and lead-free finish. Check for specific halogen-free requirements which necessitate adding the -HF suffix to the part number during procurement.

Selection Notes

Select the GBJL20005-BP when a 20 A average forward current and 50 V peak reverse voltage are required for through-hole applications. Ensure the operating environment stays within the -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range. Consider the 1.05 V forward voltage drop for efficiency calculations and verify that the PCB layout accommodates the GBJL package dimensions and mounting hole specifications.

Part Context

The GBJL20005-BP belongs to the GBJL series of glass passivated bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. This series covers voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V, sharing the same physical GBJL package and 20 A current capability. The component is distinct from higher current variants like the GBJA series and offers a compact solution for medium-power rectification tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include GBJL2001 (100V), GBJL2002 (200V), GBJL2004 (400V), GBJL2006 (600V), GBJL2008 (800V), and GBJL2010 (1000V). These parts share identical electrical current ratings and physical dimensions but differ in maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage.

FAQ

What is the maximum non-repetitive surge current for the GBJL20005-BP?

The maximum non-repetitive surge current is 240 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave, tested according to JEDEC methods.

Does the GBJL20005-BP meet halogen-free standards by default?

No, the standard GBJL20005-BP is not halogen-free. To obtain a halogen-free version, the -HF suffix must be added to the part number.

What is the typical junction capacitance of this component?

The typical junction capacitance is 60 pF, measured at 1.0 MHz with a reverse voltage of 4.0 V.
