GBL01H

Overview

The GBL01H is a silicon bridge rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It belongs to the GBL series, which features a molded plastic construction suitable for printed circuit board mounting. The device provides a maximum average forward output current of 3 A at an ambient temperature of 25°C. Its maximum recurrent peak reverse voltage rating is 100 V, with a corresponding maximum RMS voltage of 70 V and a maximum DC blocking voltage of 100 V. The component utilizes glass passivated junctions for reliability.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junctions provide reliable operation and protection against voltage transients.
• Molded plastic technique ensures low cost construction and suitability for automated PCB assembly.
• Surge overload capability allows handling of high peak repetitive currents.

Applications

• General purpose rectification in printed circuit boards.
• Power supply input stages for AC to DC conversion.
• Battery charging circuits requiring 3 A current capacity.

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer marking matches Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation specifications. Confirm the suffix H indicates the specific tape and reel or packaging variant if required by the assembly line. Check datasheet revisions for any updates to mechanical dimensions or electrical limits before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3 A bridge rectifier with a 100 V reverse voltage rating is required. Ensure the operating ambient temperature does not exceed the rated limits without derating. Verify that the package footprint matches the PCB design for the GBL series housing dimensions.

Part Context

The GBL01H is part of the GBL series of silicon bridge rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. This series includes variants with different voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V, all sharing the same 3 A current rating and physical package outline. The H suffix typically denotes specific packaging or processing options within the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' GBL01 equivalents such as those from LGE or Diodes Inc. Ensure substitute parts match the 3 A current rating, 100 V reverse voltage, and identical pinout configuration for direct replacement.
