GBL02-E3/51

Overview

The GBL02-E3/51 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It utilizes glass-passivated junction technology and is designed for through-hole mounting in the GBL package. The component supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and provides an average forward rectified current of 3 A at a case temperature of 130°C. The typical forward voltage drop is 1.1 V at 4 A, with a maximum non-repetitive surge current capability of 70 A. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction construction ensures high reliability and resistance to environmental variations.
• High surge current capability allows robust performance during transient overload conditions.
• Low forward voltage drop contributes to improved efficiency and reduced power dissipation.

Applications

• General purpose rectification in AC-DC power supply circuits
• Battery charging systems requiring moderate current handling
• Industrial control equipment power stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against manufacturer documentation to confirm packaging and compliance status. Confirm RoHS3 compliance and check for any product change notices or obsolescence announcements prior to procurement. Ensure the supplier source is authorized to guarantee component authenticity and traceability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200 V rating and 3 A continuous current are required in a through-hole configuration. Compare thermal resistance characteristics against the application's heat dissipation requirements. Verify that the GBL package dimensions fit the target PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBL series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling and package form factors. It serves as a standard solution for low-to-medium power rectification tasks in consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include GBL02E-E3/P. Equivalent alternatives from other manufacturers may include GBU402-G, GBU602-G, and GBU802-G, provided electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions are compatible.
