GBL005-E3/45

Overview

The GBL005-E3/45 is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features an in-line circuit configuration housed in a GBL package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 50 V and a maximum average forward rectified output current (IF(AV)) of 4.0 A at a case temperature of 50 °C. It exhibits a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop (VF) of 1.0 V at 4.0 A and a maximum DC reverse current (IR) of 5.0 μA at 25 °C. The component withstands a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 150 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 to +150 °C.

Procurement Notes

Verify the End-of-Life status before initiating procurement, as the datasheet indicates this product line has reached obsolescence. Confirm that the alternative devices, such as the GBL005E series, meet all required electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions for your specific design implementation. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts when transitioning to replacement components.

Selection Notes

Select this component for general-purpose AC/DC conversion where a 50 V reverse voltage rating and 4 A continuous current are sufficient. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and derating curves if operating near maximum ratings. Verify that the GBL through-hole package fits the available board space and mounting constraints. Evaluate the E3 suffix requirements for RoHS compliance and lead finish specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBL series of glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings, ranging from 50 V to 1000 V, while maintaining a consistent 4 A current capacity. The GBL005 specifically denotes the 50 V version within this family, sharing identical mechanical and thermal properties with its higher-voltage counterparts.

Replacement Considerations

The official alternative device listed in the datasheet is the GBL005E. This replacement maintains the same electrical characteristics and package outline but may require verification of updated manufacturing processes or material compositions to ensure seamless integration into existing designs without re-validation.
