• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency in power conversion
• Robust construction suitable for general-purpose rectification applications

Applications

• AC-DC power supply circuits
• Battery charging systems
• General-purpose rectification in industrial equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm package type and compliance status. Confirm availability as distribution channels may list discontinued or obsolete variants. Ensure the procurement source provides valid traceability and authenticity guarantees for semiconductor components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3 A current rating and 400 V blocking voltage are required for through-hole assembly. The GBL package offers compact footprint advantages compared to larger bridge rectifiers. Verify that the operating environment remains within the specified -55°C to 150°C junction temperature limits for reliable performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBL series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series provides various voltage ratings including 200 V, 400 V, 600 V, and 800 V options. The GBL04 specifically denotes the 400 V variant within this standardized family of surface-mount and through-hole compatible bridge rectifiers.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other 3 A, 400 V bridge rectifiers in the GBL package such as the MBRS340 alternative if pinout compatibility is verified. Cross-reference with Vishay's GBL005 thru GBL10 datasheet for mechanical and electrical equivalence.
