GBJL3506-BP

Overview

The GBJL3506-BP is a single-phase glass passivated bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It provides an average forward current of 35 A at a case temperature of 100°C and supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V with a DC blocking voltage of 600 V. The device features a maximum RMS voltage of 420 V and a typical instantaneous forward voltage of 1.05 V at 25°C. Peak forward surge current capability is rated at 350 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave pulse. Operating temperatures range from -55°C to +150°C, with a typical thermal resistance of 0.6 °C/W.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides long-term stability and protects against mechanical stress.
• Epoxy casing meets UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings for safety compliance.
• Designed for direct mounting on printed circuit boards.

Applications

• General purpose AC to DC power supply conversion
• Industrial rectification circuits
• Battery charging systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the part number suffix to confirm RoHS compliance status. Ensure procurement channels are authorized distributors to guarantee genuine components with full traceability. Check packaging specifications for bulk quantities, as standard packing may vary by region. Confirm storage conditions align with moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 35 A continuous current capacity. Consider the through-hole package dimensions and lead spacing for PCB layout compatibility. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance and derating curves for high ambient temperatures.

Part Context

This device belongs to the GBJL series of bridge rectifiers, which covers voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V. The series shares common physical dimensions and electrical characteristics, differing primarily in their peak reverse voltage capabilities. The GBJL3506 variant specifically targets applications requiring 600 V isolation within a compact through-hole form factor.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other GBJL series parts for different voltage ratings if system requirements change. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when substituting with similar bridge rectifiers from other manufacturers.

FAQ

What is the maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current?

The maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current is 350 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave pulse.

Does the 'BP' suffix indicate halogen-free material?

No, the 'BP' suffix designates RoHS compliance. Halogen-free versions require adding an additional '-HF' suffix to the part number.

What is the typical junction capacitance value?

The typical junction capacitance is 85 pF, measured at 1.0 MHz with a reverse voltage of 4.0 V.
