GBL01-E3/45

Overview

The GBL01-E3/45 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It utilizes standard silicon technology and features a GBL surface-mount package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V and provides an average forward rectified current of 1 A per leg. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 4 A and a leakage current of 5 µA at the rated reverse voltage. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and complies with RoHS 3 standards.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction construction for enhanced environmental stability
• Molded plastic case designed for automatic insertion equipment
• High surge current capability for robust transient protection

Applications

• General purpose rectification in low-voltage power supplies
• Battery charging circuits
• DC-DC converter input stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against manufacturer documentation to confirm compliance with current environmental directives, as suffixes may indicate variations in packaging or material composition. Confirm that the GBL footprint matches the target PCB design prior to procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with official distributors to ensure authenticity and traceability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact surface-mount solution is required for 50 V applications. Ensure the thermal management strategy accommodates the specified junction temperature limits under expected load conditions. Compare the forward voltage drop against system efficiency requirements to validate suitability for the intended current levels.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBL series of bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings and current capacities within the same GBL surface-mount package. This specific model represents the 50 V variant within the lineup, sharing mechanical dimensions with other ratings in the family while differing in electrical specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Vishay recommends the GBL01E-E3/P as a manufacturer-recommended alternative. Other compatible options include parts from Comchip Technology such as the GBU401-G, GBU601-G, and GBU801-G, which offer similar electrical ratings in comparable packages.
