GBL01-E3/51

Overview

The GBL01-E3/51 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features glass-passivated junctions and is designed for through-hole mounting in the GBL package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and an average forward rectified current of 4.0 A at 50°C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum RMS voltage of 70 V, a peak forward surge current capability of 120 A, and a typical forward voltage drop of 1 V at rated current. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass-passivated junction construction for enhanced environmental stability
• High surge current handling capability for robust circuit protection
• Designed for high-temperature operation up to 150°C junction temperature

Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC power supply rectification
• Battery charging circuits requiring moderate current capacity
• Low-voltage DC power distribution systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm package type and compliance status. Confirm availability status as this part number may be subject to discontinuation or lifecycle changes. Ensure the procurement channel provides authentic components with traceable manufacturing data to prevent counterfeit risks.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4.0 A current rating and 100 V reverse voltage are required in a through-hole configuration. Compare the GBL package dimensions against PCB layout constraints. Evaluate thermal management requirements given the 150°C maximum junction temperature limit and the 1 V forward voltage drop under load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBLA series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent mechanical footprint and current handling capabilities. The GBL01 variant specifically targets applications needing 100 V blocking voltage with 4.0 A continuous current output in standard industrial enclosures.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other GBL-series bridge rectifiers from Vishay or equivalent manufacturers offering identical 4.0 A / 100 V specifications in the GBL package. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution.
