GBL02-E3/45

Overview

The GBL02-E3/45 is a single-phase standard bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features an average rectified current (Io) of 3 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (Vr) of 200 V. The device utilizes standard silicon technology and is housed in a through-hole GBL package (4-SIP). Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage drop (Vf) of 1.1 V at 4 A and a reverse leakage current (Ir) of 5 µA at 200 V. The junction temperature range spans from -55°C to +150°C, ensuring reliable operation under various thermal conditions.

Feature Summary

• Single-phase bridge rectification configuration for AC-to-DC conversion
• Through-hole mounting in a compact GBL surface-mount style package
• High thermal stability with a junction temperature range up to 150°C
• Low reverse leakage current for improved efficiency

Applications

• General-purpose power supply circuits
• AC adapter implementations
• Battery charging systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and manufacturer part number against official Vishay documentation to ensure compatibility. Confirm RoHS compliance status and REACH SVHC declarations prior to integration. Check for any product change notices or end-of-life announcements that may affect long-term availability and manufacturing continuity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3 A current rating and 200 V voltage rating are required in a GBL footprint. Ensure the application operates within the specified -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range. Verify that the forward voltage drop characteristics meet the system's power loss constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBL series of glass-passivated bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various current and voltage ratings in a standardized surface-mount compatible package designed for high-density PCB layouts. The GBL02 variant specifically targets low-to-medium power applications requiring robust rectification capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

GBL02E-E3/P is listed as a manufacturer-recommended alternative. Other similar options include GBU402-G, GBU602-G, and GBU802-G from Comchip Technology, though package dimensions and electrical specifications should be verified for direct interchangeability.
