GBL005H

Overview

The GBL005H is a single-phase bridge rectifier from the Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation GBL series, rated for a maximum average forward current of 4 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. It utilizes a glass passivated chip junction within a GBL through-hole package. The device supports a surge peak forward current of 150 A and operates at junction temperatures ranging from -55°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a typical forward voltage of 1.0 V at 2 A and a maximum reverse current of 5 µA at 25°C. The 'H' suffix indicates AEC-Q101 qualification.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction construction
• High case dielectric strength
• Halogen-free according to IEC 61249-2-21
• Meets JESD 201 class 2 whisker test

Applications

• Switching mode power supply (SMPS)
• Adapters
• Lighting application

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code includes the 'H' suffix to confirm AEC-Q101 automotive qualification status. Confirm the specific voltage rating matches the required circuit design, as the GBL series spans multiple voltage options. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards and halogen-free requirements if mandated by the target application specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the 4 A continuous current requirement and 50 V reverse voltage capability. Consider the thermal resistance values for heat dissipation planning in the final assembly. Verify that the GBL package dimensions align with the printed circuit board layout constraints and mounting requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBL005–GBL10 series of standard bridge rectifiers manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. The series offers various voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 4 A current capacity and GBL package form factor across all variants.

Replacement Considerations

Other parts within the same GBL series may serve as alternatives if different voltage ratings are acceptable. Cross-reference electrical parameters such as forward voltage and reverse leakage current to ensure compatibility with the existing circuit design without modification.
