GBJL2004-BP

Overview

The GBJL2004-BP is a single-phase glass passivated bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). 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 400 V. The device exhibits a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.05 V at 25°C and supports a peak forward surge current of 240 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave pulse. Operating temperatures range from -55°C to +150°C, with a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance of 0.8 °C/W.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official MCC documentation to confirm compliance status. Ensure that procurement channels are authorized distributors to guarantee component authenticity and traceability. Confirm that storage and handling procedures align with moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 400 V blocking voltage and 20 A continuous current capacity are required for PCB-mounted applications. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the specified derating curve and thermal resistance values. Consider the physical dimensions and lead spacing to ensure compatibility with the target printed circuit board layout constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBJL series of glass passivated bridge rectifiers produced by Micro Commercial Components. The series encompasses various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 20 A current capability. The GBJL2004 variant specifically addresses applications necessitating a 400 V peak reverse voltage threshold.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference alternative bridge rectifiers with identical 20 A current ratings and 400 V minimum reverse voltage specifications. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility, specifically lead pitch and overall package dimensions, to ensure direct substitution without modifying the printed circuit board design.
