GBJL2010-BP

Overview

The GBJL2010-BP is a single-phase glass passivated bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It provides an average forward current of 20 A at a case temperature of 100°C and withstands a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V. The device features a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.05 V at 25°C and a peak forward surge current capability of 240 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave pulse. Electrical characteristics include a maximum DC reverse current of 10 μA at rated voltage and 25°C, rising to 500 μA at 125°C. Typical junction capacitance is 60 pF measured at 1.0 MHz with 4.0 V reverse bias.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides mechanical strength and protects against external physical stress.
• Epoxy compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating standards.
• Designed for direct mounting on printed circuit boards.

Applications

• General purpose AC to DC conversion in power supplies
• Battery charging circuits
• DC output rectification in industrial equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity through authorized MCC distributors or direct procurement channels to ensure traceability and compliance with quality standards. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required specifications, noting that adding the -HF suffix indicates a halogen-free variant. Check for RoHS compliance status as indicated by the standard BP suffix designation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V blocking voltage and 20 A continuous current are required in a through-hole package. Ensure the application allows for adequate thermal management, as the 20 A rating is specified at a 100°C case temperature. Verify that the PCB layout accommodates the specific lead spacing and mounting torque requirements defined in the datasheet dimensions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBJL series of bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series covers voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V, sharing common electrical parameters such as the 20 A forward current and similar physical dimensions. The GBJL2010-BP specifically denotes the 1000 V variant within this standardized product family.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 20 A, 1000 V bridge rectifiers in the GBJ-4 package style. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution. Equivalent parts must meet or exceed the 240 A surge current rating and 150°C maximum operating temperature specification.
